Since• it only comes but once a year It's a time for having fun and 'en- joying our selves. But still remembering the true meaning of Christmas. We should praise and give thanks to the Lord for the Christmas Season because �► at least at christmas the war, fighting, and quarelling stops. We also think of others by sen- ding christmas cards, saying hello or maybe doing something for them to show that we care about them or just trying to be nice or just helping them. Most people try to erase the true meaning of Christmas out of their heads or don't even care about it. Even if the true meaning of christ- 'mas was erased out christmas just wouldn't be the same as any other year. Loving our neighbours as ourselves is a more better way of saying things. Showing that we're helpful to apers iii- and really trying to help people out -of their worries also by keeping the true meaning of christmas in mind is making it a better christmas each year.

But my greatest wish is to see you and raindears together in a picture. So have a very merry Christ- mas. Your friend Lisa Frayne St. Joseph's Kinsbridge Primary 3 Peace on Earth Good Will to Man What I think Christmas day means to me is that. Jesus Christ was born on this day. Jesus Christ was born on this day to bring Peace and Joy and Love to this World. I also like the preparation of Christmas. All the lights are up in trees or windows to give a pleasant and gay appearance to the streets. Mothers are baking all their desserts for Christmas dinner. And the best of all Santa Claus is coming for the little kids. So everyone is busy Christmas shopping in those stores so nicely decorated. New clothes are bought for this special occasion. Special television programs are °n,some for kids and some for grown-ups., Families are reunited and general warmth and security is in many homes. Then everyone is hoping for arrow to have a nice white Christmas. On December the 24th everyone is quiet or sleeping so they can go to midnight mass and afterward celebrate Christ's birth. But they don't .-forget to take a bath or wash their hair. Then at 11:30 sharp everyone is pCeparing for mass. After mass everyone is home 110Whappily and is receiving from everyone. Drinks, Op, chips, candy, y, chocolate, and boxes, ribbons, .W8 and eVerything else is Il�ng in the room. But_ while Ine people are having great ethers. w people having to serve But uschool is out that day and the following week. But Chritmas is not the day - en everybody is having fun ' Y but the day, in Bethlehem, there Mary ihtoJesuChrit And whergin, gave n three wisemen saw the:fining star and followed it to ding him "gifts.

Kitchener, Ont. —We Buy Existing Mortgages for Instant Cash-- ri L4M To me "Peace on Earth Good Will to all Men" means that all the world is full of peace. That all men, women and children can gather around and sing . With no regard to whether ' you are Black or White, Chinesse or Indian. The world should have no more wars, no more fights, no more famine, no more hate. We uld all live in love and ce, or else we will not get anywhere. Countries should unite and help each other and help countries like Vietnam, Cuba, Middle East, Chile etc. where they need all 'fie help they can get. Organizations like Care, Mission, 1slelp and Foster Parents Plan of 'Canada help . them a lot. • But it is not only the poor and famished people in the unhappy part of the world, but the people ' near you. Your neighbours, your friends, teachers and students in your own school everyone everywhere. Help them in 'Any way you can. Hear their problems and give them advice. Make them feel wanted and give them confidence by com- plimenting him or her on any little thing like a new dress or the way they loop , or even something they did. This will even make them happy. Loving your neighbour is one of the ten commandments of the Bible, so you are not only pleasing yourself but you are pleasing God himself. Their are 'different ways of expressing our love. First is songs. You may have a favorite song which means alot to you because of its melody. This makes you happy. Next is love. When you are loved your heart lights up and when you love your neighbours you make them feel good. These are only 2, but there are many more that are very hard to put into words such as enjoyment. This is what "Peace on Earth Good Will to all Men" means to me. Anne Sansome Grade 8 St. Mary' s Jesus Is Here - And Christmas Is Near. Yet Jesus Was Born Such A Long While Ago, But He Still Comes To Us Through Our Soul Janet Lassaline Grade 5 St. Mary's Dear Santa How are your reindeer? and the elfs and Miss Santa Claus? I hope „one of the reindeer. do not get sick. MERRY CHRISTMAS. Steven Hickey Grade 2 St. Joseph's Kingsbridge Peace on Earth Goodwill to all Men Three wise men came to where the king was born. It was for our sake they went home a different way to save the Lord, and to fool the king of that time. This is my version of these words "Peace On Earth Good_ will To All Men."

Bluewater Texaco SO Victoria St. S. 524-0011 Christmas Meaning To some people Christmas means Santa Claus, toys, candy, and lots of presents. To nye Christmas . means Jesus's birthday. Some people don't believe this, but I do. If it wasn't so then how come it went n all these years? Many books have been writ- ten many 'thing's have been said, but they have come to an end somewhere. Christmas has gone on for hundreds of years and come to no end. Christmas brings warm joyful feelings from one to another, the war mth of Gods love. No doubt we should have warm feelings to others all year through. I do feel Christmas Is the celebration of Christ Jesus's birthday. , Karen R. Grade 7 Holmesville P.S. Christ'is our light As the candles show so bright All I want to say Is to have a Happy Christmas Day Dean Doherty St. Joseph's Kingsbridge Grade 5 Dear Santa; I remember Jesus birthday do you?
