Little Sally, the youngest .child, was very disap- pointed. She went and asked, "Father, when are we getting our tree?" "Well if you would like we could go right now." So Sally, her father, and her older brother Kyle went out to look for a tree. "Be back before dark, and keep your hat on Kyle." mother called after them. As they were walking through the forest they started to sing Chnstmas' carols. Suddenly Sally saw the per- fect tree. "Look father, that's the perfect Christmas tree! "Look's like a dead one to me," Kyle said to himself, but a little too loudly. "Well I think it's a very nice tree," father answered and he started to cut it down. After a while, father was finally finished, so they started their walk home. As they approached the house, Sally ran ahead to tell moth- er. "Mother, it's the best tree ever, and I picked it out myself." "Well, let's get the decorations out, we want to finish it before bed time," mother called as she went down the hall. When the tree was all ready to decorate, Kyle said that he wanted to put the star on the tree first, but mother said no, it would go on last. At the end of all the decorating, Kyle tried to jump up to put the star on, but fell forward and knocked the tree over. It wasn't a very strong tree and under Kyle's weight it cracked in half. "Oh, my tree, it's gone!" wailed Sally and she ran up to her room. "I'm very sorry, I'll go out and get another tree myself tomorrow," Kyle said sadly. But the next day there was a terri- ble storm which continued onto the next day. "Aren't we going to get another tree?" asked Sally. "Not with a storm like this." an- swered father. The next night would be Christ- mas, and it wouldn't be very special without a tree Sally thought. It was still storming when Sally woke up the next morning. Now she was walking around the house being miserable. Kyle started to feel guilty. That was when he decided to go out in the storm to get a tree. He got all bundled un warmly and Happy Thank You fo (days to one and all! our Patronage quietly slipped out of the house, but as soon as he took one step outside, he was down on the ground. The wind was very, strong and snow was blowing everywhere. He could hard- ly see his hand in front of his face. He was getting very cold. (^Meanwhile back at the house, mother and father discovered Kyle was missing and were getting wor- ried. Mother was crying and father was pacing the floor. Kyle however had finally got to the forest and was a bit sheltered. He could see better now. After stumbling and falling, he finally came to a nice looking tree. He be- gan to chop. Then he heard a sound. It was like someone shouting. It got clearer and closer. He chopped faster. Then he recognized the voice. It was father. They must have got- ten really worried. He called to his father, "Here father, over here." He heard the footsteps getting louder and he ran to his father. By now he was really cold and numb, so his fa- ther carried him home. When they reached the house they could.see a little better. Mother was. watching through the window. Sal- ly opened the -door for them and looked very happy. "I'm so glad you're safe Kyle." she said to him. "But aren't you disappointed about the tree?" he asked. "No, I'm just happy that you're safe. Mother and I were worried that we'd never see you again. I think I'll have a MerryChristmas after all'nd they all went into the kitchen for hot chocolate. Phoney Santa by Hang Pham McCurdy School It was Christmas Eve and every- body was asleep except for a little girl. Her name was Samantha. She was waiting for St. Nick. St. Nick was- getting ready too but this St. Nick was phoney. The real St. Nick lost a reindeer. The phoney Si Nick was on his way. Then he came to Samantha's house. Samantha was not asleep. Not at all. She came to hug St. Nick. Real St. Nick was on his way. He came to Samantha's house. There was going to be trou- ble. Then St. Nick came down the chimney. Samantha asked herself which St. Nick was real. Both St. Nick's were fighting. Then Saman- tha shouted "Stop"! Both St. Nick's' stopped. She told them I will pull your beards. The one that is pulled off first will leave. Then it was settled. Then phoney St. Nick left and the real one stayed. BOXING DAY SALE Dec. 28 one day only STAR TIME VIDEO INC.
