Mom was still working on that doll for Priscilla. She already had mine done. Then she went to bed. All dad had to do is feed the horses and get the carriage ready to go to Grandma's tomorrow. At midnight, I heard something on the roof. I was sure it was' Santa because he is the only one who has reindeer foot hooves. There I heard someone slide. down the chimney. It was Santa! He was singing "Away in the Manger" while he was putting the gifts under the tree. In the morning, I was the first one up. I looked in my stocking first. I saw oranges and ap- ples and nuts. Then at the bottom of my stocking, I saw something black. It was a box. Iri the ba was a girl standing by her Christmas tree and presents all around it. It was glass.

When we got there Grandma said," Well, the dinner is finished, so 1 guess we can sit down now and eat it." We were having turkey. potatoes. and corn, peas, stuffing and bread. When we got home we had to take the Christmas tree out and burn it 11 had to do that! ). We went to bed after. In the morning I got up and started to play with my doll.

Dad came in and Priscilla came down and Mom sat down and so did I and we all started to eat and we liv- ed happily ever after. CHRISTMAS MEMORY By Angela Mielke Grade 8 - Precious Blood My grandmother's house felt warm and welcoming. In the next room, there was a tall Christmas tree. Shiny and colourful bulbs hung on each green branch. A star was placed on the top and shone splendidly as we stood there in awe. Tantalizing aromas crept from the kitchen and tickled our noses. The smell of roasted chicken and freshly baked cake suddenly made us hungry. Relatives came to visit and also to have a great time. Neatly wrapped presents were placed under the tree. The bows glim- mered in the light. Younger children were anxious to tear open their gifts yet they were too beautiful to ruin. After a great feast everybody entered the living room to open the presents. Big, fluffy snowflakes fell gently on the ground. A great old' fashioned Christmas. A glow on everybody's face from the gifts made me feel warm and merry inside. But soon we have to go back home and end the year with joy. Inside of me I knew that this special Christmas' was too good to last. c-A:V ARMSTRONG FUNERAI,HOME v..CA,c 235 '220 808 FLETCHER EVER NEW — Zurich Public School held its Christmas assembly at the Zurich Mennonite Church.

Once upon a time there was a girl named Cristal, who had a very special friend who was an angel. One day she got a phone call.from her that she has 34 hours to save Christmas. She went to find Gideon, the.angel. Then she told Gideonabout the phone call."Gideon," she said," could you help me get to the North Pole?" "I have a magical ball that will help you get there." "Take this -ball," said Gideon," and then wish where you want ,to go and it will take you there." "I wish to go the the North Pole" said Cristal.And then right at that very moment she was gone. Whenshe got there, she was in front of a big house. She knoek- ed ' on the door. A lady answered."Yes, little girl." "Does Mr. Santa Claus live here." "Yes, he does." "May I see him, please?" "Come in and I will show you where he is." Cristal followed Mrs. Claus to a big room filled with toys. There were alot of elves working on the toys. Then she came to another BIG room where Santa Claus was sitting reading his letters from all the girls and boys. She went over to see Santa Claus.Santa Claus said,"What cart do for you, little girl " "The other day I got a phone call from one of your elves saying that I only have 34 hours to save Christmas. So what is the pro- blem, Santa Claus?" "I am missing Rudolph." Cristal said. "When did he leave?" "That is the probleW, I don't know when. If 1 did I could use my magic to find him and bring him home." "Why don't we ask the other reindeer in the stable if they saw Rudolph leave." "That's a good idea," ssaid Santa. So they walk- ed out to the stable. First they asked Vixen 1 Rudolph's roommate) if they saw Rudolph leave. Vixon told them that he went to see 0 . My Christmas by Nicky Van de Ven (,rand Bend P.S.

The Phone Call by Georgiana Phipps McGillivray Central Christmas Eve and we received a phone call. I picked up the other phone, while mom talked on the other phone. the conversation went like this: "Hello.""Hello, is this- Maud?""Yes, this is. Why?" "Well, this Claire and I just called to tell you, Fatheris in critical con- dition at the hospital." "Oh my! What ever happened?" "Calm down now, he had a heart attack." "I'll come . down there right away." The phone went click. My grand- fatherd a heart attack. I was scared ge would die. My eyes blurred with tears as all of thoughts whirled around in my head. -Christmas no longer mattered. I felt confused and sick. I watched mom put onter best jacket and trudge out -into tie snow. I shouted, "Mom, can I come?" "No, dear, you stay here safe and sound," replied mother. • She got into the car and drove away. I kneeled and prayed that ,grandfather would live. Then ail was silent. I waited for a phone call to tell me what happened. What if he would die? I had made up my mind, I wouldn't answer it. Mom would worry about me though, so I still wondered if I should answer- nng! rine... ring! ring! I put my hand on the phone and picked it up. "This is your mother, dear, he's alive."
