The Lucknow Sentinel, 1994-12-21, Page 38Page 14A - Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, December 21, 19 Try 'barbecue sauce on your turkey First of all I get a big, fat juicy turkey. Then I'd help pluck its feathers. Well we all know about that. Then I would stuff the turkey with bread to make dressing. Oh, did I forget to tell you about the garlic on the dressing. You also add some salt and pepper and then I would put it in the oven for about 21/2 hours. Then 1 would take it out and there you have it folks a nice hot juicy turkey and you can put some barbecue sauce with it. (so- rry,no name) In this celebration without stop, we'd like to start... by saying thanks for all your kindness and support. From Management & Staff GORDON T. MONTGOMERY LTD. • School & Chartered Buses LUCKNOW 528-2813 There's no better time df the year to say thanks and wish you all a joyous holiday. Traditions vary in each househctd Some traditions at my house are that every year mom buys me, Joelle, and Yolanda a new Christmas ornament for the Christmas tree. Another tradition at my house is having a fondue every year. My favorite tradition isopening our presents on Christmas Eve. That is important to me because it is a very happy time with my family. It is a time whcn the whole family can sit down and be together when usually every day everybody is bt>tsy. This Christmas it won't be as much fun because we have to go to Kitchener and we won't be able to make it home in time for our own Christmas. But it will still be good. One other tradition, one of my favorite's is setting up an Advent wreath and lighting .the candles. Another is that mom buys us a 25 day count down chocolate treat. The one thing to remember is that Christmas is the birth of .lcsus in the manger who came to redeem mankind. Chad Ritsema Grade 6, LDCS.

On Christmas Day we usually go to my grandma's and grandpa's in Strathroy. When wedo go there, all my aunts and uncles are there. The day before Christmas we usually go to my grandma's. We have our Christmas dinner there and open our presents on Christmas Eve. On New Year's Eve we wait and wait until 12 o'clock and while we wait we play games. ,Sometimes on Christmas Day we just stay home and go to church and hear the story of the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. We also go to the candlelight service at our church. When we're there all the. advent candles are lit and the big candle in the middle of the wreath is lit, and the Christmas story is read. I like Christmas because our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem. Matthew Jurjens Grade 6, LDCS. At our house we open our presents on Christmas Eve.

Another favorite tradition of mine is when we go out to my Grandparent's house and visit with all of my family and open presents and eat the best food in tho'wholc wide world. One more tradition' I have of my own, is eficry Christmas morning I'm the very first one up and I'm not allowed to open my present until everyone else is awake. Boy does that boil my pot! But the wait is worth it. Well that's all. I hope yourhave some hristmas traditions too. "Over the hills we go laughing all the. way, Celebrating Christmas in our own special way. Michelle Carruthers, LCPS. I'm dreaming of a White Christmas. "Today it is the McAdams' family Christmas reunion. We always. have. it in November on a Sunday and the whole family gets' together.' We also put up a nativity scene. We call them pachyderms and set it up by the patio door and we set gifts in it until Christmas morning. On New Ycar' Eve we stay up' `til midnight and watch movies and eat chips and pop. And some times we invite people for the night. On Christmas morning we cat breakfast and then we open gifts. Brian Dodge, LCPS A couple of weeks before Christmas my family and I go out and get a tree from somewhere. We take it home and decorate it. Then when it becomes time to have the family get together with everyone we go out and buy a turkey or a chicken and cook it with all the other. things that go with it. • When it is Christmas Eve, before we go to bed, we all get to open one present from under the tree. When we wake up Christmas Day we go to my grandma's for break- fast and then go to my other grandma's for supper.
