Put Jesus first
at Christmas time
WHAT DO WE MEAN?
Do 'you' know the true meaning of
Christmas? A lot of people think it's just a
party with a lot of presents and a Christmas
tree. Well that's part of it, but there's more
to Christmas than just that. When I was lit-
tle I thought if Santa Claus didn't come,
neither would Christmas. But mom said
"Even if•Santa doesn't come, Christmas wk ill
always come in our hearts." Christmas
should be a time of brotherhood and charity.
Money, parties and presents should be„ the
farthest things away from our minds! But
some people think these things are what
Christmas is all about. You and I know the
right way, with our family, putting God first
and not our parties.

WHAT DO WE MEAN?
Do you know the real meaning of
Christmas? Some people think it's one big
party! All the little kids think if Santa Claus
doesn't come, Christmas doesn't, or if they
don't get a Christmas tree Santa won't have
a place to put the presents. Christmas
should be a time of peace and brotherhood.
You can still have a party but put God first.
When I was small, I always thought parties
and presents were the best thing but now I
know I should always put Jesus first.

CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS IN
DIFFERENT WAYS
I don't think I should write about: who
doesn't celebrate Christmas and why
because I don't know enough about any
other religon besides my own. It is wrong to
make fun of other religons. I don't want
other religious groups to get bad impres-
sions of Catholics. I don't think grade five
students should have to write about other
religons and put it in the paper. I wouldn't
like to read a lot of wrong things in the paper
about my religion. That's why I don't think I
should write about who doesn't celebrate
Christmas and why. I, as a Catholic
celebrate Jesus' birth on Christmas Day
because I believe Jesus is the Messiah and
came to redeem all men.

THE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS
As a Christian, I feel that I know the real
meaning of Christmas. The true meaning is
that Jesus Christ's birthday is on Dec. 25.
Year after year"we celebrate His birthday
by bringing love and joy to the world. To
show love and friendship to one another, we
give gifts. Some people don't know the real
meaning of Christmas and think it is only a
big party and Santa. Other people may not
believe in Jesus or Christmas but I'm glad I
do.

WHAT "PEACE ON EARTH"
MEANS TO ME AT CHRISTMAS
I think that it means to be free and t do
what ever you want. Jesus didn't make this
world to fight. He made this world to be free
happy and to have peace with other people.
Thats what Peace on Earth at Christmas
means to me.

WHAT "PEACE ON EARTH"
MEANS AT CHRISTMAS
"Peace on Earth" means when everyone
puts down their weapons and come together.
"Peace on Earth" means when "U.S.A.
for Africa" donated thousands of dollars for
the poor people in Africa. Everyone helping
everyone.
"Peace on Earth" means everybody loves
everybody.
by Paul Dawson
What do you think Peace on Earth at
Christmas time is. I think Christmas is be-
ing kind to everyone and it shouldn't matter,
what colour or what problems they have or
don't have. Christmas is a time for giving
and to be generous and kind. I think peace
should be made by everyone all over the
world. Christmas is a time when Jesus was
born and we should celebrate his birth.
Christmas is many things but I think it is to
have fun, rest, families getting together and
to remember the true meaning of
Christmas. Merry Christmas and may there
be peace everywhere in the world.
