I didn't ask for much this year. Except some toys and Christmas cheer. I hung my stocking by the fire. And so did our family for us to admire. We decorated the tree with the box of decora- tions. But when we couldn't find it l was filled with frustra- tion. Finally we found it up in the attic. On Christmas Day every- one was ecstatic. The family gathered with oh so much glee. To admire our own family tree. Next we opened up gifts I received skis that go so swift. After that's over we gath- er and remember old times. Like that nursery rhyme that goes once upon a time. Then we pack up, it's time to go home. I'll have to travel all the way back to Rome. But I had a great, Christmas, it was full of cheer. Now I better go before I shed tears.

Jesus By Kirsten Allen, Gr. 4 Huron Centennial School We were watching our sheep when something caught our eye. It was a star right over yonder. We walked and walked until we came to a barn. Inside was a light. We decided to go inside. Inside was a young woman and a man kneel- ing before a baby in a manger. The other shep- herds and I went over to see what it was about. We found out that the man'so name was Joseph and the lady's name was Mary. They had a cute little baby named Jesus who was God's son! After a short talk we went back to the grazing lands. • rIffSvigistzra Many Thanks for your support over the past year.

Public School On Christmas, Santa was just starting to load the sleigh. Then the rein- deer got shot in the leg. The elves picked the rein- deer up and rushed them to the reindeer hospital. Santa got mad and yelled, "Who's responsi- ble?" Then he saw some- one running away. "Stop!" he yelled, but a gust of wind blew snow, then he got away. Then Santa started to cry. He said over and over, "This is the worst Christmas ever." Then one of the elves said, "We'll put on the sleigh rocket boosters." Then he asked an elf if the reindeers were going to be all right. The elf said, "They will be all right, Santa." "Then off I go," said Santa. "Before I go, I need the presents. Now herp I go," said Santa.
