The Citizen, 2015-12-24, Page 20PAGE 20. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 2015.
When The Citizen visited Huron
Christian School in Clinton recently,
students were more than happy to
share their first memory of
Christmas.
“My first memory of Christmas is
a Playmobil present. I have lots of
Playmobil that I play with. The first
set I remember is a set that is a
policeman station.”
Drew Boersma
“I remember opening up presents.
I got a toy horse once from my mom
and dad. I remember it because it
was special because they gave it to
me.”
Kelsey Boersma
“I remember putting the lights on
the tree first. We have normal lights
that are white and we put them up
together with our family. We put
ornaments on the tree. We get new
ones every year. The ones we got last
year sing.”
Jordan Boersma
“The first thing I remember about
Christmas is the story of Jesus. Our
teachers and parents tell it to us
every year. He will come back to
earth soon and take us to heaven
with him.”
Madison Donald
“The first thing I remember about
Christmas is last year when I went to
church with my parents and my
brother to listen to the pastor talk
about stuff. I can’t remember what
he said though.”
Tristan Guichelaar
“Every Christmas I put up the
Christmas tree with my mom and
dad and my brothers. My sister
doesn’t help yet because she hasn’t
turned one year old yet. We put up
little balls and decorations and we
have a decoration that’s a Christmas
tree so we have a Christmas tree on
our Christmass tree.”
Junior Brown
“I remember the presents that we
give to each other at home when I
think of Christmas. Last Christmas, I
got a lot of presents but one thing
was very important. I can’t
remember what was important
though. I got a movie, but I don’t
remember what it was. We had to
throw it out because there was a
mouse in the big truck where we
stored it.”
Mitchell Helder
“I remember putting up our
Christmas tree. The whole family
does it. We have tractor ornaments
and Santa ornaments and we have a
special star on the top of the tree. It’s
the last thing we put on and the best
part of the tree.”
Sieger Kootstra
“The first thing I remember about
Christmas is seeing my mom putting
the stockings out. She puts them on
the ground because we don’t have a
fireplace and eventually we get
presents in them.”
Wyatt Meinen
“I remember putting presents
under the tree. I put presents there
with mommy. I like putting them
there with her.”
Makenna Ramaker
“I remember decorating the tree
with my mom and my sisters. I
remember that because it’s fun. We
put angels on the tree but we don’t
put a star on the top because we
don’t have one. We have a white bow
with gold sparkles that goes on top
of the tree.”
Megan Ridder
“I remember Jesus being born in
Bethlehem because of the songs
about it happening and the stories
that we are told. Those are important
songs and stories because they
remind us about him.”

Good memories
Christmas memories can be some of the fondest memories of all for people of all ages,
including young people like the Grade 1 students at Huron Christian School. The students
recently took some time out of their busy schedule to talk to The Citizen and tell them what
their favourite memories are. Back row, from left: Mitchell Helder, Makenna Ramaker, Jace
