ree wouldn't stand up
The day • before
Christmas we were
putting up our tree. It
kept falling over. My dad
came in and tried to fix it,
but he couldn't. We
bought a new stand, but
that didn't help either.
We took it back to the
store to get it fixed, but
the man said that there
was nothing wrong with
it.
We brought it home and
tried to put it up again. It
stood up, so we left it for a
few minutes. I wentback
in the livingroom, and
then back to the tree. It
hadn't fallen over, so I
went into the kitchen
where my mom was, and
asked her if she knew
where the cat was. She
Wants to be in 25th century
It all started last year.
Was 1 bad a week before
Christmas. My mother
and father said that I
could ownly get one gift
for christmas. I went and-=,
thought of the only gift I
could have.
Finally I thought of a
gift, where I could go to a
place where I would be in
the 25th century. When I
was there I look at what
earth would be like.
Maybe everything would
be push button and I
would have to do any
work. Robots would bring
you your food and do all
your work. You could fly,.
to a room in a flying chair
and • you wouldn't even
have to move.
Then I w ltild go hack to
the 20th century and tell
every one what happened
and become famous.
Then Mother and Father
would show some respect
for mie.

• Financial problems at
Christmas are big
,problems. If you. have a
Fig fa mil .to buy
everyone a present by the
time you are finished
shopping you owe your
mother at least. $5.
Another financial
problems for our parents
is that all the taxes have
to he payed in December
which causes a problem
in getting ready for
christmas. A problem
everydnc suffers is that
prices rise so you pay
more for gifts. These are
common financial
problems at christmas
that everyone runs into.
But then at my age,
why worry!.

THEBIG PRESENT
One Christmas in 1975
while my family and I
were sitting on the couch.
We were so over joyed to
open our presents when
finally we did. In a few
minutes I was busy
opening a huge package.
Guess what it was?
' I'll. tell you it was a
walking doll. Her name
was Wendy Walker. She
had long curly hair. I
loved her dearly. I asked
her did Santa Claus bring
you to me to be my sister.
My mother said, "she's
even biger than you!" I
'laughed. 'My 'brother got
his presents mixed- up
with me.
We had a very merry
Christmas!

December the 24, 1978
the night before
Christmas I crept from
my Fed and down the
stairs and went to the
christmas tree. There
was lots of gifts under the
tree. I looked under the
tree for my gifts. It was a
small one. I opened it, it
was a rubber mouse. I
laughed, and I also woke
mom and dad when I was
laughing. Morn came in
and screamed, dad came
in and started to laugh.
He said were did you get
that, I 'said in this box.
And we had a good
Christmas day. The next
day.

said he was likely out-
side.
I went back in to see the
tree and it was falltg
over. I caught it just in
time! It was a good thing
that we didn't have any
Christmas balls on it, or
they would have been
broken.
I called mom and she
came in. She went out to
thee .garage and got dad.
�Ie came in with= some
tools, and tried to fix.
When he was done he took
his tools back out to the
garage, and came back
in.
He tried it, and it stoo
up but it fell down in fp
minutes. When it fell t e
cat came running out.
all laughed and the cat
purred.
What a' trouble we had
that day.

On December 18, 1979
we went to the Christmas
concert. At the Christmas
concert I got a present
and I opened it and I said,
"I really liked it".
After that I showed my
mother and she said, It
was very pretty".
It was nice because it
you shook it, it would
start to snow. It had a
snowman and a house in
it too.
