School Children's Thoughts at Christmas
WHAT IS CHRISTMAS?
( by Veronica McKenzie)
Christmas is the annual birth-
day of our Lord. The night of
his birth, his mother Mary, and
his father Joseph, were bedded
down in a stable in Bethlehem
for there was no room in the inn.
During the night the babe was
born. Mary wrapped the babe
in swaddling clothes and laid hirr
in a manger.
There were in the field, shep-
herd keeping watch over their
sheep, when an angel appeared
singing " Glory to Cod on High."
The angel fore -told the shep-
herds where the babe was and to
hasten unto Bethlehem.
As the shepherds hastened to
Bethlehem, a star grew bright
leading three wise Icings to the
stable where Jesus lay. The babe
received incense, gold and myrh,
And from that night forward
Jesus has been a redeemer of
man.
SANTA CLAUS
(by Henry DeMooy)
On December twenty-five
Santa will come to your home
alive.
But if you're bad
Santa will still be glad.
Just to see you
And to give your presents too
He goes to everyhouse
As quiet as a mouse.
Down the chimney he goes
Even if it snows
He sneaks to the Christmas tree
With a happy smile you see.
If your awake
Santa will not give you the candy
that he had to make
Some people wonder why Robert
Peary didn't find him
And they think he was hitting
behind a rim.
So when you grow up
Don't fool around like a duck
Try to find Santa and his hiding
place
Up in the North Pole and that
just might finish the case.
North Pole.
Dear Santa Claus,
How are you and Mrs. Claus?

ESTABLISHING CRIB
Though legend says that
St. Francis of Assisi first in-
troduced the Christmas crib
in the 130. century, history
records that the first manger
scene was created by Pope
Liberius in 354 A.D.
May a
happy
and a
peaceful
Yule be
yours.
And
.many
thanks!
