At 50, he's a physical
Im an old man now I've
had five ball joynts put in
my hips, three golplate
operations,four broken
legs and one bad back.
But there is one thing for
sure I've allways made it
home for Chistmas, When
Chistmas does come now
beleive me we have a lot
of fun.
Now a day they have
them stupid little
automatic trisicals. The
other day my grandson
made me ride it. He said,
"sit grandady sit." He
said to my wife "sit
granny sit. They also
have miny-bikes that can
fly.
When Chistmas araves
we open our presents and
- play with them. We do
selabrate that Chistmas
has come. In the after
noon we tell stories of
long ago and how cars
looked. But theres one
thing that has't changed
or never will chang we
still prey and give thanks
for Jesus Chist. Then we
eat the turkey and other
things. I hope you have a
Merry Chistmas

Christmas is only one
day away and I have got
to get a present for my
grandchildren. You know
I think I will get Mickey a
miniature jet car, and I'll
get Linda a talking doll.
i I think I will have to
have my wife to do the
Christmas shopping now
because my joints are to
stiff. I hope that I get a
high powered wheel chair
for Christmas.
Well it is night time
now and there's nothing
like breakfast in bed.
Now I'd better go start
the car and wait for my
wife to come. We had just
pulled into the Janeway
and all the grandchildren
were waiting to see how
big their presents would
be.
We went into the house
where all the family was
waiting. First we had a
feast then we opened the
presents. They called my
name first I looked in
amazement I had got a
high powered wheel
chair.
My wife got a ring, and
Mickey and all the others
loved their presents to. So
I guess fifty years older
isn't so bad after all, and
besides we all had a very
merry Christmas!.

Christmas is just 1 day
away and the grand-
children are corning up
christmas day so we can
give them their presents
tomorrow when they get
here. Well I guess we
should conclude by
putting the lights on the
christmas tree. I have the
-pies, tarts, cookies the
salads are made. The
turkey is stuffed ready
for the oven tomorrow.
Well I do hope the
children will enjoy them
selves.

as Christmas is now
except it will be highly
priced and it will be hard

When I'm 50 years old
Christmas will be a
joyous time in my life. All
our familys' will be there.
I'd have to have a cluster
of money for my gran-
dchildren's presents. I
won't like it as ,much
because I won't be able to
be with my mother.

Here I am at fifty with
my grandchilddren of
five.
When all of a sudden
Santa came down with a
dive
with a little red suit with
a big fat belly
which shook when he
movie like a big bowl of
jelly.
With the lights aglow
he placed all the gifts in a
row
Then Santa scrurried to
get out
to continue his long route.
Santa took off on his
sleigh
Because it was soon
Christmas day
Now Santa deed is done
for the year
So celebrated by having.a
beer. -

When I am 5Q years old
it will be outrageous,
Presents now can be less
than seven dollars, In
half a century presents
will cost more than fif-
teen dollars. Food will be
twice as much as it is
now. It won't be fun
enjoyment buying
presents that cost a lot.
And food will ,cost a lot
more than it is now
maybe evan twice. as
much as it is now.

Christmas would be old
fashion. And my gran-

Last year. I went to old
grandmothers house. But
this year. I am 60 years
old. 60 years old said
grandma "60 years asked
Sandi." Yes. All the
decorations are made of
popcorn and some of
them are make of plastic.
Christmas is change for
some people don't you
think. All cards were
diffrent Christmas is nice
don't you think so.

Its two thousand
seventeen,
When four grandchildren
gather round my knees.
I hope the'll be en-
chanted,
When in their Christmas
boxes, the'll find what
I've planted.
Three little dollies,
With curley hair named
Polly.
One tiny race car
That races in the dark on
a trick of tar.
I can picture it now,
But I wonder how
Old they'll be
When I'm fifty.

"Last year I was gone to
cusin Fred but I am home
children I am glad to be
here I love you very very
much. Now do not let me
tell you all about my
Chistmas last year lets
open up the presents."
"® Grandfather
thankyou very very very
much. 0 my very own
doll house. You know you
only get one present each.
Thats all ok grandpa we
all understand. We are
not very very rich like
most people. One gift is a
nought for all. Even me."

On Christmas - 2028- I
was opening the present
that my children gave me
and grandfather. My
little girl was now longer
a little girl. She was
maryed and had three
girls. My oldest grand-
child. gave me a good idea
how to celebrate Crist-
mas day. She said we
should have a turkey and
potatos. Gather the hole
family and have the
biggest Cristmas ever so
we did my littlest
grandchildren loved the
feast. Every Cristmas we
had a big feast with the
hole family.
