HOW WE CELEBRATE
CHRISTMAS
Christmas at our house
means love laughter and hap-
piness. Some people just think
Christmas is presents I want
you to now that the real Christ-
mas is Christ. If you celebrate
Christ and go to mass you will
have a real Christmass. It is
nice to get some presents for
Christmas. I go to mass on
Christmas and you should to.
Believe me it's nice to go to
mass: You feel _so good after
you have done something good!

FROM GENERATION
. TO GENERATION
I'd like to talk on our itodern
days
Our customs and our special
ways
About the way we celebrate
And the ways that we relate
On Christmas at this time of
year
And all our friends that are so
dear,
Visit us on ChrisTmas Day
- And listen to what we have to
say.
Now let's go back to olden days
When they had very different
ways
On ' Christmas Evening they
would sine,
And through the streets •their
voices would ring
Every little girl and l&oy
Would be happy with one„cheap
toy.
It doesn't matter when it was
Or what you all receive
It's all because Jeal$ was born
Is that what youbelieve?
