Kelly sat at the kitchen table eating Lucky Charms, her favorite cereal for breakfast. "Good morning, Kelly" said her father. "It's nice to see you up." Kelly just kept her eyes glued to the portable t.v. on the buffet across the room. She was watching "Srtlurfs", another favorite thing of hers. "Kelly, where is Spot?" asked her mother who had just stepped out of the bathroom. "I haven't seen him since last night when we came inside," said Kelly. "Well, did you close the door be- hind you?" asked her father. "Yes," answered Kelly. "I always close the door." "Not always," called her mom from the front room. "Come and take a look". Kelly and her father got up and walked to the front room. "What is it?" questioned her father. "Kelly, 0 For all its charm. and warmth, Christmas is a season to celebrate.

"I think you should take a closer look". Kelly looked at the front door but all she could see was the empty street in front of her house. "Oh no!" said Kelly. "Someone has sto- len our door!" "No," said her father, "the door is right here." He held the door knob. "I think you forgot to close it last night and Spot got out." Kelly ran up to her room crying all the way. She looked under her bed and in her lamp shade, under her desk, even in her garbage can. •''Spot!" she called. "Here boy!" Finally she gave up and sat on her bed crying for hours. "If Spot ever comes home I'll never forget to close the door again!" she cried. Kelly ran downstairs and looked all around the house. She looked in the laundry room, the bathroom, the living room and Spot's favorite room, the storage room right where they kept his food. Kelly threw on her snowsuit and went outside. The air was nippy and the tears on her cheeks froze. In the distance she could see Christmas carollers singing. It felt so Christmasy out but one thing was missing - Spot. Kelly knew where she was heading. The mall! Kelly reached the mall 15 minutes later and walked around. There were Christmas trees, candy canes, snowmen, toys, even people dressed up as Santa's elves!" It can't get any nicer than this," said an old man wearing a red suit and glasses. He also had a long N. hite beard and a big round belly. "Yup," said Kelly sadly. "What's wrong? You sound a lit- tle down in the dumps," said the funny man. "My dog, Spot, ran away last night and I'm here to look for him" She handed him a small picture of Spot. "He's a cute one", said the man. "What's your name?" "Kelly," she replied. "Well Kelly, if I see him I'll let you know." "Thanks," answered Kelly, still upset. It was 5:00, time for Kelly to go home. She got up off the bench and walked home. Kelly didn't say much at dinner that night and went right to bed afterward. As time passed it became Christ- mas Eve and still there was no trace of Spot. "I bet he is having fun" Kelly said looking out her bedroom window that night. Kelly couldn't sleep that night and all she could think' about was Spot. Then Kelly sat up with a jerk! She had heard sleigh bells! "Santa! Santa!" yelled Kelly. She became so excited that she fell asleep. The next day Kelly hopped out of bed and ran downstairs to the Christmas tree. "Arf, �„ "Spot? Spot!" yelled Kelly. Spot leaped out of the tree wear- ing a bright red bow and began to lick Kelly's face. It was a merry Christmas after all. Baby Jesus Lot Chansamone Grade 4 Exeter P.S.

Jessica Brown Grade 8 Zurich P.S. For some Christmas is getting, For others it's the giving, -But for me both seem fitting. I know it might be selfish But I don't feel it's wrong, For Christmas is a time to relish, The weakness and the strong. Everyone can't help but love the presents, There's nothing wrong with that, But that shouldn't really be where Our focus is at. I guess what I'm saying, Is not everyone feels the same way, But Christmas is a time to pray. Christmas By Kristine Miller St. Boniface, Grade 6 Christmas is a time to be happy A time to be with ones we love. For we remember when God the Father Sent His precious Son from above. He sent Jesus to the world through Mary Who loved the Lord so much she would carry Jesus for a whole nine months. Jesus was born in Bethlehem In a stable old and worn, But they were thankful they had this For this would be where the Savi- our was born. A bright star hung above the stable SO warm Compared to the cold outside. Jesus was born late at night And shepherds and three wise men came Trying not to give the babe a fright. "The Lord has come to earth right now," The shepherds cried at last. And then the sun arose to show the morn, The Christmas night had passed. By Amanda Wilds St. Boniface, Grade 4 I wish it would snow! I wish it would snow! I would play in the snow. I would run and jump in the snow I would hide in the snow I would build a snowman in the snow. I would build a castle in the snow. I would make an angel in the snow I would slide on the ice. I would go skiing. I would play in the snow storms. I would play in the snow with friends. I would take my toboggan up the hill and slide down it. Wee I wish it would snow. The Real Meaning of Christmas Chad Desjardine Grade 8 Zurich P.S. Mary and Joseph rode a long way, On their donkey which took many a day, When they got there all the inns were full, They slept in the stable with the an- imals and the bull. That night a star shone bright, At a tremendous height, The star shone bright down upon the earth, Celebrating the great birth. When he was born Jesus was his name, From afar people came, They gave gifts to our new-born king, Everybody should start to sing, Celebrating this great thing, Hail to the new-born king. A Christmas the • Elves Got Sick Leanne Little Exeter P.S. Hi, my name is Leanna. I'm go- ing to tell you about a horrible Christmas. It started on December 15. Mrs. and Mr. Claus were hav- ing a conversation. In the North Pole there was a very bad storm and some very busy elves. Tonight there is carol singing. Santa yelled, "Elves go get my sleigh ready please!" But Santa, our clothes are in the wash." Put on your sweaters and pants and then go outside. They went outside and got the sleigh all ready and then Santa went carolling. On December 22 the elves came down with a fever and cold. Santa said "Oh no!" Mrs. Claus said "Santa you should stay away from the elves". Santa sent out for the doctor but he was sick. Mrs. Claus said he would have to go out by himself. On Christmas everybody got their presents but Santa was busy all night long. Christmas Love Jo-anne Morgan McCurdy P.S. The hearts of the poor could melt the snow, It was the Christmas spirit they did know. For they did not need presents to prove their love, Just a smile or merry wishes or the sight of a dove. Because love conquers all that stand in the way, So let's truly show love on Christ- mas Day. Many thanks Weak for your support over the past year.

It wouldn't seem like Christmas time Without the holly wreath The tree all bright and shining And the presents underneath Without the children singing And the candles' friendly glow Without the sleigh bells ringing And the sprig of mistletoe It wouldn't seem like Christmas time. It wouldn't seem like Christmas time Without the stockings hung The elves all working very hard And Santa's flight has begun Without the elves and reindeer And Rudolph's shining nose Without church bells ringing And the smell of Christmas trees It wouldn't seem like Christmas time.
