What Christmas means to
me is remembering the birth
of Christ. Every year we put
up our Christmas crib and
go to Christmas eve mass.
We also put up an advent
wreath, 4 Sundays before
Christmas. There are 3
purple candles and 1 pink
candle. Every candle
represents a Sunday before
Christmas. The pink candle
is the candle you light the
Sunday just before
Christmas. We always say
the whole rosary each night
of advent.
Christmas is also about
giving, just as God.gave his
son to the world. We should
give to others, either give to
your family and friends or
give food to the bank. Even
going and visiting people in
a nursing home is giving,
your giving them a friend to
talk to. It's not about getting
it's about giving. Everybody
likes getting gifts for
Christmas, but enjoys giving
to others and seeing how
glad you had made them.
Michelle Kroonen
What Christmas means to
me is that Jesus is one year
older and that me and my
family go to church on the
night before Christmas.
After church we get to go
home and watch shows on
the TV.
Christmas is a time when
we get to show our love for
each other that we may not
always do during the year.
On Christmas I know that
my family loves me because
if they didn't why would
they get me all of the
presents that they do?
We have some family
traditions at Christmas time
too. Usually the week
before Christmas we
decorate our tree and parts
of the house. We have
relatives over on Christmas
Day and we play a trading
game while we open our
presents. Usually these
presents are small, fun gifts
to open and trade for. The
best part is that if you don't
like your presents you can
trade it for someone else.
Before we open our gifts we
sit down and eat a
traditional Christmas dinner.
I love my family even if
they are mean to me
sometimes but I will still
love them.
Zach Benninger
I love Christmas! It is my
favourite time of the year. I
love giving and I love
receiving. I enjoy
liC
decorating the tree and the
house with lots of
decorations.
I love to go Christmas
shopping because I enjoy
buying presents for my
mom and dad and my sister.
I buy my cat things too.
I love giving toys and
money to the less fortunate.
I hope most of the less
fortunate get food and they
find a warm home.
I like Santa Claus and
every year I give some beer
and some cookies. Dad
never knows when I take his
beer. I have never told him.
He just asked me where his
beer went.
Every year is wonderful
because I love everything
about Christmas. My dad
does not like Christmas as
much as my sister and I.
Merry Christmas to all and a
Happy New Year.
Muranda Van Bakel
I like Christmas because
of the presents. I like them
because I wonder what will
be inside each one. I also
like them because it gives us
a chance to give and
receive.
Another reason I like
Christmas is because I can
see my cousins and
grandparents. I enjoy that
because I don't see them
very often.
That is what Christmas
means to me!
Merry Christmas.
Devon O'Reilly
Christmas is a very
special time for me because
I get to spend time with my
family because they live far
away from me and I don't
get to see them very often.
We have a Christmas dinner
and we also get to open
presents.
Waiting for Christmas is
the worst. To wait for
Christmas my mom tries to
make time go past quickly
by buying chocolate
calendars.
The best part of Christmas
is opening presents, going to
church and grandmas hot
chocolate. We go to church
on Christmas Eve and we
sing (except for my dad).
On Christmas morning, we
start by opening presents.
Then we drive to my
grandmas and grandpas and
have a nice Christmas
dinner, and open more
presents.
When we get home from
my grandparents we are sad
that Christmas is over. My
brother and I always feel
better when we play with all
the stuff we received. We
are very lucky to have such
a special holiday.

To me Christmas means
it's the time of year when
everyone is getting ready to
celebrate Jesus's birthday. It
is a magical time of year.
The world is lit up with
Christmas lights. People act
nicer towards each other and
try to make peace on earth.
Alan Sinnamon
What Christmas means to
me. What Christmas means
to me is to go to church and
remember that Jesus was
born. Then we go home and
get ready to visit friends,
aunts, uncles and
grandparents.
We might go
snowmobiling with our
uncle Ed. He has a caboose
that looks like a
snowmobile. Only four
people can fit and there are
five of. After are done we
have hot chocolate.
