What is Christrnas?
WHAT IS CHRISTMAS?
What is Christmas?
Is it Santa Claus?
Maybe wrapping a
present without any flaws
Or is it Jesus the holy
babe?
People ask this as
Christmas draws near,
So I am going to make it
-clear!
What about Santa?
He should not cause
Us to -forget the Christ-
mas that is true
Christmas is not com-
mercial through and
through
This is our cue
Declare Jesus's birth
among all People
Jesus is Christmas.

AROUND THE WORLD
Giving gifts is fun but it
isn't the true meaning of
Christmas.
Christ's birth is. The
three wise men gave
what they had to Jesus. Im
know you can give a feW
gifts but always
remember that Jesus
Christ was born on
Christmas Day. This
Christmas go to church
and find the real meaning
of Christmas.
Oh! and when you
decorate a Christmas
'tree this year put an
angel on to instead of
Santa Clause. Put a scene
of Mary and Joseph and
Jesus Christ up instead of
Santa Clause and his
reindeer on the rooftop of
a house.
Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.

THE TRUE MEANING
OF CHRISTMAS
AROUND THE WORLD
The ' true meaning of
Christmas is almost all
One. The real meaning
of Christmas is described
below.
It is when the Lord tells
Mary and Joseph that
Mary is going to have a
child. This child will be
called Jesus. When there
was no room in the hotel,
they had to sleep in the
barn. There was where it
all happened! The Lord
was born but everyone is
forgeting about the Lord
Jesus today. They' are
stopping from going to
church. Don't forget the
true meaning we have of
Christmas..

WHAT CHRISTMAS IS
The true meaning of
Christmas is sharing with
others, giving things to
others, getting things
from others, and talking
to friends. As well as the
family getting together,
sending cards to far away
friends or relations and
the- most important thing
is Christ's birthday and
getting everyone to
remember his Birthday.
The real meaning of
Christmas is not
decorating a tree, and not „
saying bad things, So.
remember Christ's Birth-
day and all the true
meanings about
Christmas. - P.S.
Remember! Okay?

THE TRUE MEANING
OF CHRISTMAS
Christmas is coming,
so jump for joy because
you'll receive a shining
new toy ! ! But STOP and
think is that what
Christmas is really
about? When I see people
with their arms filled
with presents, sometimes
I wonder if people do
know the true meaning of
Christmas. Sure its nice
to receive and give
presents, but let that not
be are only reason.
Christmas should be in
your home and in your
heart not wrapped up in a
present.!!

WHAT AM I?
What am I?
I'm not a spy,
,Look at me,
I'm a Christmas tree.
My fame became from
single star,
Not a bar a star.
People hang cand on me
I don't mind, but I wish I
could see.
In bethlehem,
The animals saw them
Who were they,
Mary and her baby.
