Max Masse Grade 6 St. Boniface School My favourite Christmas memories are when my brother and I would go downstairs at about three o'clock in the morning and open all of the pre- sents that we would get from Santa. Then we would go and wake up my Mom and Dad and tell them what we got from Santa. My house was always busy on Christmas day because I have seven broth- ers! The best part was when we all sit down together and open our gifts. Charlene Neilands Grade 5 St. Boniface School I remember last year that I asked my Mom for a Winx club doll and I received two Winx club dolls for Christmas last year. I am also collecting My Scene dolls and I also received two last year, a boy and a girl (the boy came with a skate- board). I usually ask Santa for barbie dolls and when I was seven he left me with a pink barbie. She had curly blonde hair and a very nice sparkly pink dress with a pink crown. There were guards who put her on the top of the castle and there was a rose bush growing up the side of the tower. The princess barbie grabbed the rose and put it in the middle of her dress and then the guards let her go. When I was eight, I received a swan lake barbie suitcase from Santa Clause. I really like dolls! Merry Christmas everyone. Trevor Love, Grade 2 Stephen Central I think get- ting that special pre- sent — the Robot. Spending time with my family, too. Janna Henry, Grade 6 Stephen Central My favourite Christmas memories are putting the Angel on the tree every year and hanging the orna- ments with my family. One year, my family got me a special fish that eats other fish. Scott Regier Grade 8 St. Boniface School I was seven years old and my dad and I went out- side and had a snowball fight. We made lit- tle forts and then we had a big war. The most I remem- ber is when my dad grabbed a huge snow block and crushed me. Then I got my revenge on him by shoving snow in his face. This was the best Christmas memory for me. -77 Nick Gervasio Grade I St. Boniface School My favourite Christmas memory is when I was in the junior kinder- garten Christmas concert. I was a rein- deer and I was very excited and proud to be a part of the play. Sydney Groot Grade 3 St. Boniface School One day I slept in until 9:30 a.m. and I wanted the day to go fast so I went out- side and I built a snowfort. I stayed out there for two hours. It w a s almost lunch time and there was still a few minutes left so I went to colour in my pony book. I ate lunch and when I was done I went to go read. I read three chapters and then I wrote a song for a Christmas carol. it was sup- per time already and we ate dressing, potatoes and meat. It was very good. Then I went to bed and Santa must have came. When it was morning I woke up everyone then we opened my presents and that was the best Christmas ever! Lindsay Geberdt, Grade 8 Stephen Central I like going and seeing my family. I like when they appreciate what I get them for Christmas. I like when my sisters get up before me and Brittany and try to beat us downstairs. I like how every Christmas Eve we get together with another family in Dashwood — it's a tradi- tion! Tamara Mellin, Grade 3 Stephen Central T h e year that my broth- er got this robot that shoots balls out of it because my uncle Dwayne always buys him something crazy! I like to eat the turkey meal because it's the only time I get to eat a lot. It's yummy! My uncle Dwayne also got my brother a plastic guitar that is really noisy and it drives my parents insane. Jessica Houston, JK Stephen Central Santa comes. Presents. I know what my m o m does — Christmas cookies .. . there's snowmen a n d Christmas trees and a star. No more cookies — that's it! Maggie Smith, Grade 4 Biddulph Central School M y favourite Christmas memory is when my whole family gets together and sings Christmas carols Everyone picks their favourite Christmas carol. The rest of the people sing it. It goes youngest to oldest, starting with my cousin Callum and ending with grandpa Dan. This is my favourite Christmas memory because everyone comes together and has fun! Caleb Trotter, Grade 5 Biddulph Central School My favourite Christmas memory was when I was 5 - years -old. At the time I had a nick- name of "The Little Monster." I was fighting with my older broth - e r and I w a s told that I was on the naughty list. But on Christmas, I woke up as early as I could to see if Santa had come. I gtee remember wak-� ing everybody up, Cik tmai gemor TIMES ADVOCATE telling them Santa had come. It was six o'clock and I was told to wait until seven a.m. I couldn't wait an entire hour so I snuck down- stairs and tried guessing my presents. I don't know why but I don't remember the presents or the Christmas dinner. What I do remember was the blue wrapping paper with little polar bears skiing down hills. That's what I remember from my most memorable Christmas. Karlee Marsden, Grade 8 Biddulph Central School I don't have exactly one memorable Christmas mem- ory. I have many! One thing that I will never forget about Christmas would be our tra- ditional Christmas Eve. We start with a German dinner. We have meat rolls (roladin) and potato dumplings (cler- sa). After this we all go to our church service. When we finally go back to my nana and grandpa's we find room in our bellies to eat a f e w munchies. We also drink hot chocolate. Someone in our family (normally my dad or brother Josh) hands out the gifts to everyone. My brother and I normally get pajamas, so we run and put them on and everyone enjoys the time with our family. At around eleven or 11:30 p.m., my parents, brother and I say goodbye to my grandparents with many hugs and kisses. We quickly run home and put out some cheesecake and beer for Santa and hurry off to bed! We are always so excited when we go to sleep! Can't wait to see what we get the next morning! Melanie Vivian, Grade 5 Biddulph Central School My Christmas memory is going to my grandparents house in Ancaster, Ont. Last N 0 - year it was the last Christmas in the house and we have always gone t o the same house for many years. We would have the whole family down for dinner and go open our Christmas presents from all our family members. We would always have a "Santa" to hand out all the gifts under the large Christmas tree. While din- ner was cooking we would all play with the toys that we got. We would also go spy on the parents since it was a big house!! That is my Christmas memory! Melinda Van Arenthals, Grade 6 Biddulph Central School My best Christmas memo- ry was when I went to a baby shower with my mom. My cousin who was having the baby got a medium sized brown bear with heavy feet. I was about six or seven and fell in love with it. At that time I loved big animals, but it was September so I would have to wait three months until Christmas so I could get it. I asked my mom if I could get it sooner and she kept say- ing no so I didn't know if I w a s going to get it. Just in case I didn't, I saved up $50, because the bear was around $30 and I needed extra money. So Christmas came and to my surprise I opened a huge box and found the brown bear and I still have the bear! o - N Old Nemotreed, • • r:II:P-elm • ■J4.tlin-ma l°>`a■J▪ J▪ I\-F-?-L■ °AA -KA NI:▪ 11-I IIia■�4!1•
