Roan 10•11.P.S. Christmas 50 years ago was a lot different than it is today. Most people eat a turkey for Christmas but fif- ty years ago people usually ate a goose because they raised them on their farms. Children only got one pre- sent and a few little gifts In their stockings. Their presents from Santa were something big like a doll buggy or a tricycle. In their stockings they yeceived little things like barrettes and candies. If children were good, they received oranges or tangerines in their stockings. If children were • bad they received a rotten potato ora piece of coal. Families usually got their tree from a nearby bush or swamp. They decorated their tree with tinsel and strings of popcorn. Some trees had candles and some trees didn't. The candles were lit on "Christmas Day when the gifts were being opened. Christmas was a lot different then it is today and probably children ap precial:ed what they receiv- ed more than we do. CHRISTMAS by David Schwindt Room 6- E.P.S. C is for candy.

These are the things I like about Christmas Christmas Time By Vatrana Vannovong Precious Blood Last year my family made a Christmas tree. We had lots of ftin at Christmas time. I had toys and my brother had a big dog. My sister had some toys too, and my older sister had a baby bear. She loved her bear. My mom had a dress and my dad had pants. N.B.

Th�first Christmas By Paulette Rpthbaver Grade 8 J.A.D.McCurdy It was a beautiful night, The stars were shining and the moon was glow- ing faintly. I trotted down the sandy, dirt, oad. My load got heavier and heavier after every step I took, I was grateful when Joseph stopped to let me rest while he walked into an- inn. Mary was great with child. Rumours had it that she was to give birth of the Christ Child. Joseph trudged back with bad news - no room left. We journeyed on un- til we finally reached a small inn. Joseph walked in -and hopefully kot us a room. After a few minutes he returned, following the innkeeper. Oh, good we have a room I thought I was wrong, he was leading me around to the back. We reached a tiny, little manger with lots of animals and hay. Surely they wouldn't let Virgin Mary give birth to the Baby Jesus in a manger? I can see some animals like myself, but a woman? I was right though. Mary sat down on a milking stool, Joseph stood beside her, comfor- ting her. They piled up hay that was really meant for animal's beds. Was this women going to have an animal? All the animals, myself included watched with curiosity • NO CHRISTMAS SURPRISE • As the thought suddenly occurred to me I sprang up and out of bed and just near- ly missed a headlong crash with my younger brother, both in a hurried attempt to reach the Christmas tree first. - I ran to make some orange juice while my brother woke up mom and dad. Still half sleeping, they drudgily join- ed us in the living room for they both knew how excited and anxious we were to get on with the opening of the presents. This happy scene may sound very familiar to you as it happens every year in many homes across the country. But what about in the homes where no Christ- mas celebration takes place? It may be a bit hard to imagine, since most of us are so lucky but if you could just take the tie to think about it, it can get pretty depressing. Picture in your mind no stuffed turkey, no cranberries, no presents, and none of the friendly at- mosphere of being together with your family. This may be the result of an accident, tragedy or a problem with your finances. So consider yourself lucky and be thankful of what you've got and have yourself a meery Christmas! .xs..w.!woxiim !!u. iumte!a el!wism srtive+anowlesimoa a eft. By Tracey Remkes Grade 8 • Stephen Central The bright sunshine peer- ing in from the window awoke me on this cool, crisp, day, but there was something special, somethirlg,that was to make today have more meaning than any other ordinary day. Why. of course, its Christ- mas morning! from the Kirkton Market aa►a�aotasae a�a►aemra and wondering at what was happening. Although it was very late out, the sky was lit up with stars, but one es- pecially big, bright and beautiful star could not go unnoticed. It was directly . above the manger where the Child was born. Peo- ple from all over Bethlehem and Jerusalem came to give Him gifts. Personally I thougpt.1 should have been the one to get all the gifts. After, all if it weren't for me, they never would have got to Bethlehem! When I thought that the What is the real Meaning of Christmas By Jennie Anderson Biddulph-Lucan What is the real mening of Christmas? Doesn't anyone know... Could•it be all our wrapped up presents Or the glittering snow. What is the -real meaning of Christmas Just take a lucky guess. Giving and .receiving presents and Picking -the very best. I think I now know what Christmas is, The man who paid the price I think it's the nativity scene The birth of Jesus Christ By Heather Thompson McGillivray Central Dear Santa, Last year's stuff is all broken or lost. You see the big marker set you gave me, the set of 100, well there are only two left. ' The sled you gave me crashed into a tree and split down the middle. And the clock -radio you gave me fell on the floor, now the radio is pure blurr, and the clock doesn't tell the right time. So this year please give me things unbreakable. By Lee Watt Grade 7 Stephen CentreI people were finished three, scraggly looking shepherds walked in. They gave the Baby three lambs. They said that an angel told them about the birth of the Child and told them to follow the big star. A likely story. After the shpeherds left three magi came to the manger on camels. They said that Herod sent them to do Jesus harm, but seeing the star that Herod said to follow to find Him they rejoiced exceedingly with joy. . They were now worshipping Him and giv- ing him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrth. Personally I thought that • these people were crazy - giving a child perfumes! After what seemed years. the people left. Imagine - the Child not even a day old and already everyone from Bethlehem has' seen Him. In later years I found out that 1 had seen the birth of our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. I took back every word 1 sad and I realized that I was just a jealous donkey! night. What Does Christmas Mean? By Valerie Parkinson McGillivray Central Christmas lights and fresh pine trees, There's a side of Christmas that no one sees, Receiving gifts on each Christmas morn. But. does anyone remember when Jesus was born? We think of Christmas as full of cheer. Which only comes just once a year. Bells hanging high, and wreathes on the door, Cookies on the table and crumbs on the floor, The meeting and gathering of each family side, Gives a special warm feel- ing deep down inside, The real meaning of Christ- mas does anyone know? To you I will tell, and to you I will show. It's partly the presents, it's partly the joy, Of the child Jesus the -Holy Baby. Boy. WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME By Julia Brown Grand Bend P.S.
