A look back at Christmas Day
Nq, one slept much last
night. The parents were up
late preparing for the day
ahead. The children were
just too excited to sleep, even
Bob who thought he was too
old to admit he was looking
forward to another Christ-
mas as much as the younger
ones.
When Edward, Emily„Ben
and Theresa tripped down
the stairs and peeked round
the parlour door in the
morning, they weren't
disappointed. The four red
stockings, hung on the
fireplace, were bulging.
Santa had emptied the
plate of gingerbread cookies
they had left for him. In their
place, he filled each stocking
with packets of butterscotch
wafers and bundles of
licorice sticks. There were
practical things, too - a lead
pencil and an eraser for the
older children for school:

May the miracle of
that first- Christmas
be fresh and meaningful
as we share it
with those we love.

Christmas breakfast treat
after a steaming bowl of hot
porridge. Mother insisted
they needed a nourishing
breakfast to keep them
the younger children hud-
dled under a buffalo robe in
the sleigh with hot bricks at
their feet. The buffalo robe
was a prized gift from
Sorority members
Papa's father.
The drive to the chureiiin
the village took three-
quarters of an how, but no
one minded. It was a
beautiful morninj. A light
snow was falling, and the
bells on the team's harness
rang merrlly. The children
passed the time by singing
carols and trying to guess
what present; were waiting
at home for them.
Every pew in the church
was filled. The children
tried, but it was hard to
concentrate on .the
minister's message. They
did enjoy singing the carols,
though, and watching the
candlelight flicker on the
rough wooden cross at the
front ofthe church.
When the service was
over, they headed home
again waving and shouting
• "Merry Christmas” to all
their friends. The drive
home seemed to take an
test
