It was December 24, 1978,
Christmas Eve. Santa Claus
was getting packed for
delivering his presents to
every good girl and boy. As
he was doing this with his
elves he had the radio on
listening to the weather
forecast. The forecast man
said there was to be a
terrible raging blizzard.
But Santa Claus didn't pay
any attention to this and kept
on packing. After Mrs. Santa

Christmas Time
BY PAUL KINSMAN
Grade 8
Stephen Central
Christmas is a time for joy
and love, and to remember
who was born on this day. He
is Jesus ,Christ. He was the
man who spread the word of
God too all people. Christ-
mas is were families get
together and and to have fun'
opening presents. The joy of
Christmas is to give and
recieve.
Some people don't believe
in Christmas, they say it is
foolish and waste money. I
think of it as being the person
who cares for ottl'ers and
makes others happy. .
We should think of
Christmas as a time for
greeting other peopl as well
as friends and neighbours.
We could think of others not
yourselves. This is what
Christmas is about.

right in the middle of

down with all of his presents

Sabha Claus was unable to
deliver his packages. He
' must find a way to deliver
his gifts.
Atter a while Santa Claus
heard something in his sled.
It was his C.B. Santa Claus
tried to radio for help, but
everyone was asleep waiting
for him to come. Suddenly a
great idea popped into his

could call the Christmas
Fairy, Holly. 1L, •
After Santa had called the
fairy, and the fairy had
arrived, the fairy made the
wind and snow stop, with a
wink of her eye: Santa was

that's how the Christmas
