This question is something that people misunderstand. Most people you ask would say toys, clothes and many other material things. This is the first side of the question. The second side is health, helping and making other people happy ot• have someone there with you from another country. I have thought, it would be great if my grandma could be with us on Christmas. Sometimes talking to her on the telephone isn't even enough. For elderly folks it's just wonderful to get a call from someone from far away. The Salvation Army and groups and organizations like these make people who don't have much very happy. This is a question that might make a person think.

Clinton Public School (;rade 3 Phillip and Arthur pass the Christmas test "Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!" Two little boys in their pyjamas came shooting and running out of their room. They ran through the stone halls of the Palace, to the banquet room. There they stopped short in disbelief: The tree, the brightly wrapped gifts and the giant wreath that hung over the fireplace were gone. "Mother," yelled the oldest boy Phillip who was nine. He ran back down the hall to gethis, mother and father, the king and queen. Arth , who was seven, stayed in the banquet room staring at the yule log slowly burning in he fireplace. Phillip r thrned to the banquet room with his parents. As the four gazed in wonder, they heard a sound like thunder over in the corner. They turned to see Thomas the Terrible appear in a cloud of smoke. "Merry Christmas," he said with a snarl. "I hope you are enjoying it." "Where are our presents?" asked Phillip. "Ya! And what about the tree?" snapped Arthur. "Silence!" boomed the evil wizard. "I have taken everybody's presents, trees and decorations because Christmas is no more. I have cast a spell over the kingdom. All the Christmas decorations have been locked up in my castle with the Christmas spirit. Gloom,will descend over the world and 'Merry Christmas' will be. a forbidden word." "Never!" shouted Phillip. "No?" the wizard asked slyly. "Well you just wait and see. Christmas will never . come again!" And in a puff of smoke he was gone. • "What are we :going to do?" wailed Arthur. "Christmas is ruined." "No it isn't," his mother the queen said. 'We can still have fun. ' So the royal family played games, sung carols, had a feast and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. "That was a good Christmas," Phillip remarked as the two boys got into bed. "Yes," said Arthur, "But I still wish everybody had. 'their presents and trees: Some kids were mighty disappointed this morning." "Hey!" Phillip had an idea. "Why don't we go to the wizard's castle tomorrow to get their gifts back?" So, the next day, bright and early, the two princes set off on their horses towards Castle Gloom. When they got to the gate they tied their horses to a nearby tree and pushed open the gate to walk through. "Quiet!" hissed Phillip as Arthur shut the gate with a clang. The boys sneaked under an archway, down a hall and up the spiral staircase to the tower. On the way up they heard a voice. Phillip peered around the curve of the wall. He saw a soldier, talking to himself, guarding the door to the tower room. "Quick, listen." Phillip whispered to Arthur and the younger boy nodded his head excitedly. The Phillip ran up the stairs and yelled at the guard. "Catch me you lazy oaf," he shouted. The angry guard ran after him, clanking in his armour. "Now," shouted Phillip to Arthur. As the guard ran past, Arthur stuck his foot out and tripped him. There was a loud clanking and clanging as the armoured guard went tumbling down the stairs, head over heels. "Oh, oh," said Arthur. "1 hear someone coming." The two boys skipped up the stairs to the door and opened it. There they saw a beautiful sight. The room was filled with trees and presents and decorations. They ran towards the trees and the presents, as foot steps came hurriedly up the staircase. "What is going on here?" boomed the evil wizard from the doorway. The two princes turned in fright to the door. What they saw made them gasp in amazement. The wizard was no longer there but instead, a shimmering figure of an angel, as beautiful as could be, stood in his place. The magnificent lady spoke in a gentle warm voice: "Well, it's the two princes from the Palace. I was hoping you'd come." "Who are you? Where is the wizard?" Arthur asked uneasily. "Fear not, for I have good news for you. The kingdom was given a test. I posed as an evil wizard to see if you remembered the true meaning of Christmas. You have passed the test • by having a • Merry Christmas even without presents. I will now return all the presents, so have a MERRY CHRISTMAS.
