This means, Christmasdinner on the flo�r
One financial problem
that occurs at Christmas
time is when people
spend more money on
Christmas gifts than they
can afford. This results in
people eating the
Christmas dinner on the
floor and walking four
miles to work all`winter.
This is a serious problem.
One solution is to.take
out a loan from the bank.
This way, you will
probably be eating your
food right off the table
and bicycling four miles
to work all year.
Another solution to this
problem is to work
eighteen -hour days for a
month before Christmas.
This solves the money
problem altogether but
you may be sleeping for a
Choose to
get a horse
• „j f,IINv.ere to get only one
Christmas present this
year I think I would
choose to get a horse.
Ever since I was little I
have always loved horses
but my dad always said I
couldn't have one since,
with Holstein cows in our
barn, we weren't allowed
to.
If I were to get one I,
could go to the store in the
winter,and summer or if
ow- .cows were loose I
could round them' up with
my horse. I would also
like to enter the horse in
races and.. other com-
petitions.
I would in the winter go
around and offer rides td" --
anyone who wanted, just
like in the olden days.
I would name my horse
Snowflake, if a girl or
Prince if it was a boy.
I don't really'" know
what kind of horse I
would want but if I could
choose I would want •to
ave a • Pinto or a
P imino.
I • •n't really know how
good .e different kinds
of horse are but I would
be satisfi d with any
kind. I would. refe/a, he -
horse becau /then I
wouldn't have o worry
about baby's, c is and
fillies because I ow I
would be happy with just
a horse.
I don't think my
parents would really,
reai.ly mind having a
horse around, and with
me it would be A O.K.
My bt'bthers and Sisteff
would not think it fair, but
who cares!

The saddest thing that
ever happened to me is
haveing the chickenpox
on Christmas! We have a
dinner on Christmas Day.
We couldn't go to it (By
the way Debbie and
Diane had the
Chickenpox too,) We felt
so miserable. It's a
.wonder Mom and Dad got
it 'too! On Christmas it
wasn't to happy, But it
didn't take long for it to
go away. I guess' it was
just a coincidence. What
a Christmas!

Christmas.
The best solution is to
buy less expensive gifts.
After all, its the thought
that counts.

THE FUNNIEST
THING THAT
HAPPENED TOME ON
CHRISTMAS11''
The funniest thing that
happened to me on
Christmas was when I
was three years old. I
woke up early in the
morning and saw two
dark brown glowing eyes
in a chair that was
downstairs. I thought it
was Santa Claus.
I woke my sisters up
and we went downstairs
towards the glowing eyes.
Are mother heard us,
when we stepped on a
creaky board and sent us
back to bed.
When it was at the"time
we usualy get up we went
downstairs. When the
lights were on, we saw
that it was my big stuffed
bear.
After we had looked at
it we all -laughed so hard
that the house shook.

BREAKINGJIY
NEW TOBOGGAN
On Christmas morning
I received a new
toboggan. I took it to the
Stratford Festival hill. I
rode it down the hill three
times, then we visited my
grandparents.
We ate lunch, then we
asked five other people if
they wanted to go
tobogganing and they
agreed.
We were tobogganing
down the hill when my
cousin hit me. He cracked
the wood on the toboggan,
but it wasn't that big. We
kept on riding toboggans
until we decided to go
back to my grandparents.
When we returned, we
glued the toboggan. We
ate a snack and went
back to the hill.
We rode down the hill
then I hit a tree and my
toboggan broke. That is
how my toboggan broke.

FUNNIEST
CHRISTMAS EVER
One Christmas mor -
ning when I woke up, I
went straight to our nice
big green Christmas tree
to see how many presents
were mine. When I was
looking at the big and
small presents, I noticed
one thing.
None of the presents
were mine. When my
mother woke up I asked
her very politely why
there were no presents
for me, under are nicely
decorated Christmas
tree. She just said that I
wasn't getting any
presents this year.
When it came time to
pass out all the presents,
everyone received a
present except me. I
broke out laughing
because everyone was
staring at me.
When I stopped my silly
laugh, I thought I would
look in my stocking to see
if anything was in it, but
it was empty.
Then again everybody
started staring and then I
started laughing in
amazement. Then I
realized it was all a joke.
My mother brought out
a new stocking just
bursting with candy.
Then my dad brought out
all my presents, I un-
wrapped my presents and
found all sorts of big gifts
that I had always wanted.
This was the funniest
Christmas ever.

FRIENDSHIP!
Friendship is caring
and having a sof heart. If
I had only one gift for
Christmas I'd pick
friendship. It could save
us from a war or a fight
with someone who you
might hurt without
knowing it, Friendship is
what everyone need.
