Family and friends with love,
A beautiful Christmas tree,
For the twinkling North Star of the night,
For a jolly fellow to come down the chimney,
For a hundred little candles to be lit,
And the greatest food in the world,
To tell us it's Christmas time.
Three Wishes
Ashley Staines,
Huron Centennial
My name is Ashley Staines. I am 7 years old. I
have 3 wishes for Christmas this year. My first
wish is for the poor to all have food, water,
clothes, shelter and toys. My wish for the world
would be that every one should have toys . The
last wish is a Fairtopia doll for me. But, if I only
had one wish, it would be for the poor people to
get what they need. Have a Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year.
