Hicken family Yule
It was almost Christ-
mas in a town called
Happiness. There was a
poor family called
Hicken. The Hicken
family hardly had any
food or money. What
were they going to do for
gifts for their little boy
and girl. Mr. and Mrs.
Hicken's tried to think of
a gift for Terry and
Laurie. Mr. Hickens
asked the children what
they wanted for
Christmas as a gift.
Mr. Hickens"said, "We
can only buy on gift,
between you, you must
decide what you want for
a gift from your mom and
me."
So Terry and Laurie got
together to decide what
they wanted, They
decided to get a dog
because they always
wanted one. They told
their mom and dad that
they wanted a dog for a
gift.
So the day before
Christmas Mrs. Hicken
went out to buy a dog for
Terry and Laurie. That
was the only gift that
Terry and•Laurie got that
year for Christmas.

THE TRUE MEANING
OF *CHRISTMAS •
Do you really know
what Christmas means?
It doesn't just mean
getting presents. It
doesn't just mean getting
a holiday. It mean's when
Jesus was born so he
could die for us.
Long long ago 2012
years ago to be exact
there was a baby born to
-Mary and "Joseph in a
Manger.This was the
baby Jesus. Many wise
men and shepherds came
to see Jesus': They were
guided by a bright star.
Jesus had come to teach
the world about God: But,
the main, reason was so
he could die for us on the
cross. When he died ,he
was 33 years old. This
happened 1979 years ago.
The world was sinful so
Jesus had to bare our sins
by dying for us.
That is the true
meaning of Christmas. It
is alright to get gifts and
enjoy the holidays but
remember what the true
meaning of Christmas is.
Just remember -a little bit
how Jesus was born long
long ago.

The night before
Christmas we were all
huddled around our
Christmas tree talking
about the presents we
wanted. There was
nothing under the
Christmas tree yet. My
mom said Santa Claus
forgot to come to our
house. But secretly I
knew there was no Santa
Claus and that the
presents she ordered for
us had arrived late.
The next day was
Christmas and there was
still nothing under the
Christmas tree. My
brother and sister wanted
to cry because they were
so disappointed. In fact
my whole family was
disappointed. After lunch
we all ,went to Kitchener
to buy some presents. We
had to stay in the car so
we couldn't see the
presents.
'When we got home 'we
saw a big box in front of
our door. The Christmas
presents have arrived.
We all had a merry
Christmas that year.
