"Look at all the people staring at us " appears to be what this group
of St. Mary's French Immersion Kindergarten students are think-
ing. Thn soon found out that singing "Les petits lutins" in front of
a gymnasium full of people who attended the St. Mary's Christmas
concert Thursday night wasn't that hard after all. (photo by Lou -

Christmas Memories
"Come on get up, its five o'clock". That
was when my dad and mom would get up
and find what they got for Christmas. There
was a doll for mom. And dad probably got
something for his horses. After they un-
wrapped their gifts, they would head out to
the barn to do the chores. They would really
move . fast in the barn to get everything
done, before their cousins and Aunts and
Uncles came. In mom's case she went over
to her Grandma's.
The first thing they would do was tell each
other what they got for Christmas. Mom's
Grandma had a big wood stove going full
blast so the turkey would be cooked in time
for dinner and the kitchen was so hot that it
made everyone go in the living room.
Well, as for my dad, soon as the rest of the
family got there they would go tobogganing
down their hills till dinner time.
For dinner my mom and dad would have
tomato juice, cranberries, mashed,potatoes
with gravy, dressing, jello, corn, carrots,
peas, homade pickles, pickled beets, cab-
bage salad, and the juicy turkey that tasted
•
so good out of the wood -stove oven.
For dessert they had pumpkin pie with
homemade whipped cream right from their
own cow. There was Mintsmeat pie and
nobody could resist the butter tarts.
After this gigantic meal the women of the
house did the dishes (and lots of gossup
would be said while doing dishes) In the liv-
ing room you could find men sprawld out on
the chair or sofa sleeping, and some chat-
ting. On my mom's side the kids would run
around teasing each other and babysitting
any babies or young kids.
In my dad's family the kids would go out-
side and hook up the pony to the sleigh and
go sleigh riding across the snowy fields.
Later in the afternoon everyone would
gather back in the living room to open gifts.
Lots and lots of gifts were under the
Christmas tree for each and everyone. Pic-
tures were taken of each family and of all
the grandchildren withtheir grandparents.
Then everyone said good-bye and went
home.

CHRISMAS TOY
I'm under a Christmas tree. Suddenly a
boy saw me. What do you think! I am
Donald Duck! I like to be Donald Duck
because I'm a duck,. One day I was sailing. I
fell asleep. I splashed in the sea. I had to
swim. Of course I coud sWim! I'm a duck!
