She became an orphan after her parents died in a terrible car crash the Christmas before. Jennifer was a very sad child, but she had a kind heart. A week before Christmas the or- phan's mother took all the children to the mall so they could tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas. It was Jennifer's turn to sit on Santa's knee. She was the only one not to ask for toys. She asked for some- thing different. She asked for some parents. On Christmas day some people came and they saw Jennifer opening the presents and they knew she was the one to adopt. So, they did! They adopted her the next day. Christmas By Dean O'Brien St. Boniface School, Grade 5 It was very exciting when we got to the rest home for Christmas. The first thing we did was the inter- view. I learned that Ruby ate turkey for Christmas supper when she was young. i started a Gods Eye for her, but she dozed off. 1 started to laugh and she woke up and said, "What are you laughing for?" I said, "You dozed off for a moment." She start- ed to laugh too. When we started to make our paper chain, she helped make the circles. Then I took her back to her room. She said, "When are you coming again?" 1 said, "Not till January." She wanted me ,to come sooner. She gave me a cookie and I said good bye. All the things we did together made this a special visit. •r Season's Greetings To all our customers and friends, along with sincere thanks for your continued support.

Lucre and Tom were asking what their children wanted. "1 would like some books, I want some clothes, 1 want some Lego." There was going to be a pa- rade and the family had entered a float. The week before Christmas was when the parade was to be held. The theme for the float was "Christmas in Other Countries". The family was walking home when they met Mr. Crab (a friend). "How are you today Mr. Crab?" "I'm finc but Mrs. Crab is very ill. The doctors think she might die," said Mr. Crab. "We're very sorry to hear that. We hope she gets better," said Tom, as his wife and children bowed their heads. That night Lu- cie suggested that they go carolling. "Great idea," said Ashley. "Let's all get dressed and go." They kept singing and singing and soon the whole town was singing. As they got to Mr. Crab's house the notes Meggie and Sarah were playing sang out as they sang.

Carmel It was a bright sunny morning, and the binds were chirping, the dogs were barking. Emily got out of her bed and looked outside. "It's bright as ever," Emily said. It was Christmas! So Emily ran down the stairs jumping off of the last two stairs. Emily looked under the tree and ran back up the stairs to wake up her mom and dad. Her mom and dad came down the stairs and watched Emily open all of her presents. When Emily was done ripping off the paper and cleaning up her mess she walked over to her parents and gave them a big hug. "Thanks for everything", Emily said. "You're welcome," her par- ents said. "Next year," said Emily, "I'm going to get you a present too". "Time to go to church" OK mom!"
