We were sitting around in the old barn by the pond, opening presants one by one. And telling lies by the bundle, And having a great deal of fun. As you can see this isn't you usual affair, for our drinks I'm sure were not pop. laughing . and dancing was the usual thing, but the outstanding ef- fects was a cop. He asked me if I had been drinking or not, I couldn't say yes, so I lied. Then I ran for the door as fast as I could, When he fired I thought I'd died. I fell to the ground in a great deal of shock Until I found out it was a blank. So to sum up my story from "75" This whole thing was set as a prank. Cheryl Smith Grade 8 St. Mary's School PIONEER CHRISTMAS Long ago when Pioneers were alive Christmas was a, happy and quiet time, With no bells to ding and no chimes ro ring. Father would go out and chop the tree, While all the kids went out to see, With mom in the kitchen baking Christmas goods and all those little tasty foods. When the tree was chopped and stood by the fireplace Little sister and brother would decorate it with lace. Our Christmas days are different from Pioneer's peculiar ways, But the only thing that stays the same, is that Christ our Saviour came. Kawmadhie Weerasooriya St. Mary's School Grade 8 PIONEER CHRISTMAS Long ago in Pioneer times Christmas was very different from today. Instead of buying expensive gifts for each other, they would make things. The mother just couldn't pop the turkey into the micro -wave oven and expect it to cook in a half hour. They wouldn't have had a beautiful tree with all kinds of decorations and colorful lies. After their dinner Mom and the daughter couldn't put the dishes in the ,dishwasher and sit down and watch, television or listen to the radio. You know sometimes I think there was more love and togetherness back than, then there is now at Christmas. Chris Kerr St. Mary's Grade 8 A CHRISTMAS VISITOR Once upon a time in a town called Walnut Grove there was a poor family named the Lootlesses. Now it was Christmas time and since they were poor Mama and Papa Lootless could not give their children any gifts. They were very upset, but their children, Junior and Emma were not upset they knew Santa would come. They had just put up their Christmas tree whenc'they heard a knock on the door, Mr. Lootless went to answer it. When he opened the door he found an old beggar standing outside. "Come in. Come in out of the cold," said Mr. Lootless. The old man stepped inside. "What is your name sir," said Mr. Lootless. "Nicholas Clausen shenacal," replied the beggar, "I need a place to sleep, just for tonight." The Lootlesses gladely took the old man in. They showed the old. man his room and everyone went to bed. The next morning the family went downstairs to have breakfast. When they got there they were astonished . to see the downstairs brimming with presents. Mr. Lootless thought carefully. Then he said. "By George, that beggar was jolly old St. Nichols." - "Santa Claus," replied the children and that year and `every year that followed the Lootless had lots of presents for Christmas thanks 'to jolly old Nicholas Clausen- shanca.
