What ChristmasMeans Ta. -Me
What is the true meaning of
Christmas? Well! I'm not -'sure
-what your definition is, but if
you. listen I'll .tell yoeN mine.
Even though nowadays eJeryone
enjoys receiving -gifts, I myself
am thrilled just -giving ..them,
Do;n't•.. ou?-If not where's' your
Christmas spirit? Atter al..isn't
that the „ tare ° meaning of
Christmas.

What does Christmas mean?
Does it meantaking and not
givi<,g? Does.. it mean fighting
with friends, brothers, or sisters?
No it means love, giving things
to people you love. Most of all
thinking about ,.Christ. What do
you think about Chr'tstrnas?

I think Christmas is suppost
to be a day of peace and giving,
but the, way people talk it seems
to be the opposite. The more
people get the more they want,
In the Pioneer Days people
didn't care if they got anything
or not. They were always giving,
and tha>s the rya I think
Christmas should be„,
' Christ was born on December
see St. Nicholas, don't try to kill
him.

1 think Christmas is a time for
every.pne to:, be happy, whether
you are young or old. It's a,
season of giving, without the,
interpretation of —prices;' anti~ -
receiving, withoidt the thought -
of jealousy. Sorrow is not meant
to be experienced during this
joyous season. Friendship, and
happiness are the two
ingredients that make Christmas
worthwhile,

1 think Christmas means to
me giving gifts away ,and
watching people owning the
gifts. They all have a pleasarft

It is a time when every body
