Times-Advocate, 1981-12-22, Page 9Hockey squads in giving mood
Christmas was marked
early by two Exeter minor
hockey squads in their
Shamrock league action
against St: Marys at the rec
centre, Wednesday.
In the first game, the
Exeter bantams got a gift
from St. Marys but then
promptly returned it as they
dropped a 6.5 decision.
After trailing through
most of the game, the locals
tied the contest with a
minute and a half remaining
when the St. Marys net -
minder tossed the puck into
his own net as he attempted
141' -
to toss it into the corner of
the arena.
With only 40seconds
remaining, St. Marys came
back into the Exeter end and
after goalie Rick Gilfillan
stopped the shot, one of his
own mates had the
misfortune to direct the puck
back into the net to give the
visitors the win.
Scoring for Exeter were
Jim Lewis, Tim Easter -
brook, Sean Whiteford, Scott
Lovie and Steve Gould.
Chris Tiedeman picked up
two assists in the game,

Christmas in 1893 or maybe 1912
By Patty O'Toole
Precious Blood
Grade 6
Look at the presents under
the tree,
And here comes Grandma
walking very, very slowly
Come here, sit down and tell
me of Christmas in 1893.
Well it wasn't that long ago,
T'was 1912 or so,
That I would kiss the boys
under the miseltoe.
Before that in my childhood,
we would.
Sing carols as loud as we
could!'
All the night we'd sing and
dance,
And string popcorn, but soon
We had to go to midnight
Mass.
When we finally went home,
I would lick the foam
Off moma's hat - chocolate.
But still bit by bit
The tension grew,
Oh I knew,
I would never sleep,
I'd just lay awake to keep,
An eye on Santa Claus.
And when the morning came
around,
We would scrounge until we
found,
Our presents that we give or
get,
But still we never did forget,
The biggest gift of all!
A very, very small baby boy!
Born without a single toy,
Or nothing like what you now
have,
But he was and had love,
And like a dove,
Ever so innocent.
When he left home,
He went along and gathered
up some friends,
He gave his life to us!
The baby's name is Jesus,
you know
After the presents were all
put away,
We would sit down and pray

Thank the Lord for our life
And me, for Miss Fife,
The pup I got from Mom.
So just lay down and try to
sleep.
And in the morning you'll
get a peep, at your presents.
Shh now go to sleep...
FARMBOY'S CHRISTMAS
By Ron Walker
Precious Blood Grade 6
My grandpa told me
stories boy you couldn't find
a better storyteller. But
about the best story he ever
told me was the story of how
he spent X-mas. He'd sit
down and "Well" he'd say
"Before X-mas and during
the winter we'd skate in the
bush around the the trees
and if the forest floor wasn't
frozen we skate on a pond."
"And then" he'd say.
"We'd go toboganning at the
steepest hills."
"Then...on X-mas Eve
we'd get ready for midnight
Mass." "Yes and we'd hitch
up the horses to the cutter,
put sleigh bells on them and
go gliding across the. snow."
"When Mass was over we'd
invite our friends and neigh-
bours over for some fun we'd
open one present each".
"Lord what fun we'd have
"Then he'd say "We'd
have to go to bed knowing
that we'd never get to sleep,
but somehow the caroling
started ringing softly in our
ears and eventually we fell
asleep.
"On X-mas morn we'd get
up and run downstairs and
open our presents. Boy what
fun we'd have.
"Gee grandpa thanks for
telling me a story about a
farmboy's X-mas.
