Frank and Isabel Peter Grade 1 CDCS e greatest lift of all... ...a puppy, almost By Paula Allen Hallett Central School Grade 5 Bobby ran into the house. Today was the last day of school before the Christmas holidays. Oh what fun! All those presents. Bobby ran through the living room to the kitchen. "Hi mom" then he asked for his presents. "Your father and I didn't get anything for you." "Why not?" "You are going to learn the Christmas story." Bobby's eyes were as big as saucers. "I know the Christmas story is all about getting presents." "Even your friend Steve's mom is doing this. If you don't learn it by December 30; no presents next year. Grandma always gives you at least two presents." The truth was Bobby was a greedy boy. Bobby wasn't going to learn it and he was sure Stevie wouldn't. The next day Bobby went to Stevie's. Stevie couldn't play because he was learning about Jesus's birth. Bobby was positively stunned. He went home and learned the story. Then he told his mom. On Christmas morning he got a puppy. Spot was a great gift but not the greatest. ...baby Jesus, Mary :and .j-oseph By Eva Hallett Central School The best gift of all was Jesus. On Christmas morning Jesus was born in Bethlehem. There were three sheperds and they looked upon a star shining bright. They followed the star and they got to a stable. They found a baby laying in a manger, and there were animals surrounding him. Mary and Joseph were proud of thier son. Mary and Joesph agreed on his name. His name was Jesus. When he got older a woman and a boy stood before him. The woman said "Why don't you be king, then when my son grows up he will sit beside you." Jesus answered, "I don't want to be king. Someone rich can take his place. My riches is love." And he walked away. At night the Isrials took him to a cross and kissed him. Jesus knew ne was going to be killed. So he forgave them because they didn't know what they were doing. On Easter morning He rose up from .the dead to see the people of Isrial to talk to them. He made the children and the adults well when they touched his white cloak. The people of Isrial were happy and they fiver] well. Santi's 24 -Hour Repair Service T'was the Night Before Christmas and all through the town, The streets were all empty, no one was around. The pumps were all quiet; the tank was full too. It seemed all would be calm, with little to do. When all of a sudden, the phone it did ring. My beeper was beeping; bad news it would bring! It seemed that a driver, with a car that did swerve had leveled a hydrant on the Chillingsworth curve. 1 rushed to the scene, from the warmth of my bed. The drunk was all right, but the hydrant was dead. With shovel in hand and a job 1 must claim, I knew hours would pass before my Christmas came, When out of the sky, I saw such a sight. of a giant red sleigh and a glowing red light. It landed in front of the place I did stand; There were reindeer and elves and a jolly old pian. With shovels and wrenches, a hand they did lend, and the work was all done with the speed of the wind. Before I could thank them, they rushed to the sleigh, loaded their tools and just flew away But as they were leaving, Santa said with good will, "Don't thank me yet; I'll send you the bill!"
