What Christmas
Means To Me!
The Christmas Feeitiig
What Christmas means to
Me is not a secret. It's the
sound of bells when
they're ringing, children
singing the happy spirit
tingling. The tantalizing
aroma of Christmas cooking
, is so daring,
The, decorative ornaments
sparkling on the green, green
Christmas trees, are so very
merry. And the Exchanging
glances of thank are gay. For
on each andevery package'is
a gift signed with love:
This 'day comes only once a
year and is nevlr forgotten,
for, it's a tire'"- of giving,
receiving, celebration and
remembering about so long
ago I think this day should he
gay with warm and cheerful
spirits.

The True Meaning
of Christmas
The day seemed so long
Rang out many a song
The night seemed even longer
The curiosity got stronger
and stronger
For this was the day Ohtist
Was born
From all men, Christ was
adorn
Christmas means a lot to me
When, to the child, came the
wisemen three
Yes, this was the clay Our
Lord was ,horn
Later results seemed so
forlorn
Only to be nailed up high
And for our sins -He chose to
die
Yet still there lay a little child
On a day that seemed so mild
But far away a King would
say
"A new king,bor-n on this very
day"
And "Be gone and seek this
little boy." •
Yet this very child l c_4ru1d
bring such joy
I hope you remember about
our -Lord
For He is the one to be adored
Not the presents and the tree
And that's what Christmas
means to me.

My Most Unusual
Christmas Gift
Many, many years ago, when
I was only three, I received
an unusual Christmas gift (It -
was very queer you see.) It
was nestled among the
presents,
underneath the tree, I looked
at the
name. tag and saw it was for
me.
It was wrapped up pretty and
beautifully, .
I'll give it credit for that, I left
it
for the rest of the gifts. I
shoved
it aside with a little pat.
But as I commenced to open;
it, my •
heart beat mad inside. I had
no
idee of what it could be, so I
ripped
it where it -was tied'.
