Christmas feeling
It was a cold and
blizzardy day outside as I
watched through the
window. My two little
sisters were over by the
fireplace keeping warm
and dreaming about
Santa Claus. We had just
emmigrated from
England in search to find
freedom and room to
raise our familys. I was
much to young to
remember England but
mom and dad told us
wonderful stories about
the old land. This was to
be our •first Christmas in
this new land. Our gifts
were all wrapped and
syaiting for the tree the
decorations were made
and ready to be hung on
the branches of the tree.
Mom had made •
Christmas cookies in the
shapes of Santas,
Reindeers and even a few
Angels and Stars!. There
was only one problem we
did not have a tree to put
the presents under and to
hang the decorations on 0.
and it was the day before
Christmas. The weather Q�•ti
was to bad to see into and «. \
much to bad to walk in
there for father was not g. ti
able to get us a tree. We yy//
all knew that father had M
tried his best to get a tree
for us but the weather kl
was just to bad. Evening Q�•
came and mom called us
over so that she could
read the night before 4
Christmas. One of my Wi
little sisters asked mom '''�(J
to tell us about Christmas �1A'
in England. The stories
sounded so wonderful and
so full of celebration but
not once did we regret i'y'�
being in this new land. �Y
For we had the greatest y,
gift of all, each other.
That was the first
Christmas in this new and
wonderful land. (Home).
Merry Christmas.

The fond memories of an old-fashioned Christmas stir
misty recollections of snow-covered hillsides,
the freshly cut family tree, kitchens rich with the aroma of
holiday delicacies, the cold, clear air ringing with friendly
greetings. Today, we echo those same warm
sentiments as we wish you all a very..Happy. Holiday!
