REFLECTIONS I tried hard not to shed that tear, on Christmas Day with so much cheer - Glimpsing one rolling down your cheek, for just awhile we could not speak Just viewing that droplet on your hand, then my tear fell to form a band, Of sacred memories reflecting clear, Friends and all our "kid's" first year, Like we did once, just move around, storing experiences newly found, Except for those who've passed away so very much in our thoughts this day, Their laughter, their voices crystal clear rippling the surface of our blended tear. For just a moment there waS this sorrow, then a tear of joy did follow, Our moody thoughts receding far,- as ar;as through the door, now ajar, "Happy Christmas Mom Happy Christmas Pa!" - Happy Christmas Pa!

The Glory of Being a Tree by Karen McKay Grade 7 Stepbea Central There you are sitting quiet and still, until the wind blows, The snow has covered your branches, but you do not care You love the snow, it makes you a part of a wintery scene, You watch the people toboggan down the hills, and skate on the pond. You're happy until the day when you are introduced to the fact that you will soon no longer grow, no longer be part of the wintery scene, for someone will . take the life away from you. You will then, tree, be covered with an assortment of lights, and decorations, With kids shaking boxed surprises and there is where you will realize, the glory of being a tree, in all the peaceful scenery.

CHRISTMAS by Tammy Durward Stephen Central Christmas was begun by Jesus born in a stable in a manger on Christmas morn. The Shepherds and the three wise men brought gifts to them. The angel of the Lord came upon the shepherds and said "A baby boy is born the city of David who is born for all men. The shepherds left their flocks and followed the star in the east above Bethlehem. King Herod saw this and told the three wise men to find the baby so he can go worship him too. So that's the way we got Christmas. MODERN DAY VERSION — Spectators at Tuesday's Christmas con- cert at Precious Blood School saw a modern version of Snow White.
