Some people forget the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas 'is not about eating dinners, and remembering Santa Claus, id's about Jesus' birth. 1 think we should celebrate Christmas by retelling the Christmas story. But the most im- portant thing to remember is Jesus is the reason for the season. Heather Lootsma Grade 8, LDCS. When we celebrate Christmas we celebrate the corning of Jesus. We have plays at schools with the wisomen and the shepherds. We celebrateJesus coming down to earth, to save us from our sins. Some, people • just think about Santa Claus who was adopted by St. Nicholas. (St. Nicholas was a man . who went around giving people presents in the Netherlands). When we celebrate Christmas we celebrate Jesus. Andy Luchics Grade 7, LDCS. .In Holland, people' celebrate two parties. One is held on .December 5, called Saint 'Nicholas. And on December 25, they ccicbratc. Christmas. The Dutch •people give gifts on Saint Nicholas and not on Christmas.. Saint Nicholas is a fel- low who wears a big red robe and a red hat with a cross on it. He has a golden staff and rides on a white stallion. He gives toys to the children and his helpers. Black Peter' gives them candy. Saint Nicholas comes from Spain in a ship and is to be a Bishop.
