CHRISTMAS &AcHAPPY GNEW Lucknow and District Co-op MANAGEMENT, STAFF AND HOOD OF 011m(70Eq 1 Remember that Christmas? A Christmas To Remember One of the Christmas's I will never forget was the one two years ago. It was December 25, Christmas Day. There was a big snow storm in the morning. After 12 noon the worst part of the storm had let its power go. The Christmas party was in Blyth. The road between Wingham, Blyth, and Belgrave is very wicked in winter. But we did not even get that far. We weren't even five miles, on the Whitechurch road, when we went into the ditch. It did not look like a ditch because it was full of snow. It was lucky that we weren't too far from this guy's house that knows dad. Dad walked there and about an half hour later came back with the guy and his tractor. He pulled us out and we drove home. Hefollowed us home just in case we went in the ditch again. By Jeff Bakker, Grade 7, Lucknow and District. Christian The Best Christmas I Can Remember The best Christmas was last year when we were opening presents but now there were' no more, so -dad told mom and 1 to close our eyes. Dad, Roxanne, Denny, • Kevin, and Stephanie went out of the family room and brought back two other presents. When they came back they gave me an electric blanket and gave mom a hockey stick. I didn't 'want to trade but I • knew I would get a turn to 'sleep in their bed when it was turned oii. By Mark Broer, Grade 6, Lucknow District Christian.. The True Meaning of Christmas To me the true meaning of Christmas is the birth of Jesus. God sent His only Son to save us from our sins. EventhoughJesus was very important he was bon in a stable lying in a manger. We are very thankful • that God sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our skis. At Christmas time everybody celebrates • with presents and candy, but we should' think about the true meaning also. 'So, this Christmas I think you should at least think about the true meaning. .

We also, ate and did chores. We did all this because we had a storm and • couldn't get out. The next morning the storm stopped and we said our farewells, • By Denny Broer, Grade 7, • Lucknow and Distdct Christian. • The Very First Christmas The.first Christmas was the day when Jesus was born. The shepherds and the wise men travelled a far distance to see Jesus. Their guide was a very bright star, brighter than any other star. They followed it until it stopped above a barn in Bethle- hem. When they got inside, there Jesus lay in a manger filled with straw, ,wrapped in swaddling clothes. They offered gifts of gold, myrrh and frankincense. The Lord Jesus, son of God, has finally come. This is how the first Christmas came about. This is what we should be celebrating on Christ- mas Day. This is why we give presents on Christmas Day, and this is why we give presents to celebrate Jesus' birthday. By Mike teRatt, Grade 8, • Lucknow District Christian. Noel Pour Moi Represente: amour, cadeaux, rois, pai, Jesus, anges, ' famille, • eglise, carols, amis, joie, bergers, sapin, iSges, By Stanley Kikkert, French, Grade 6, Lucknow and District Christian. • What Christmas Means To Me • I am going to tell, whoever is reading • this, what Christmas means to .me. . • Whenever Christmas is . near, I get excited. You know why, don't you? Well it is not just getting.presents. It is also . remembering ,When Christ came to ,the world. So at Christmas time you can also sing songs about Jesus and talk about him, instead of just opening presents one/after another. It doesn't mean that you can't open presents. It just means that you can also sing songs and talk about Jesus. So remember, when you- have Christmas • you should not only open present's. You can also sin on d talk Jesus.Isur The Christmas That I Dream Of , • If I was allowed to sort out the way I want Christmas I would do it right. First I would phone up my relatives. Then I would check the hill to see if it was good. 1 would get the, sleds ready. • Then, when everybody is here, I would tell them the rules of sled races. When that was done we would have a • snowball fight, and then we would eat. We would have lots of food for the family and when they are done eating I would ask if Joey could stay over, Then they would leave. • By Stanley Kikkert, Grade 6, • Lucknow and District Christian. The Best Christmas I Have Ever Had It was 230 a.m. of the 25th of December and we were waiting for my cousins. The first to come was my dad's brother with his wife, children, and my dad's parents from Hamilton and Burlington. Then came my dad's sister from Chicago with her husband and two children. The first thing we did was take their coats and seat them in tilt! 11-ving room. Then the 111s0^-4:-ge came in arid was put in me rooms they were to sleep in. Then we talked,, opened gifts, and ate.

After dinner we went to .the Christmas tree to open our presents., Well, Bob, my brother, opened a .big box from dad. It was a real nice radio. Then we opened the presents from Susan, Nick and 1. -He got his 'present from mom at the end of the night. It was huge. He started ripping the paper off and then he came to a box.. He opened the box and came tciA smaller box. He opened the box and carne to a smaller box. After opening a lot of boxes he came to the box with the present in it. Now Bob didn't even want to guess what was in it. He opened it and it was a Bible. Bob never thought n12,1th 'ti at the time, iiow he uses it every day. Last Christmas he said to mom that the Bible given to him a couple of Christmas's ago, was the best Christmas present ever. By Cindy Bakelaar, Grade 8, Lucknow and District Christian.
