"TRAVEL IS OUR ONLY BUSINESS"
My Mom and Dad's Christmas
When they were s fungChristmas
Lots of presents, stocking
Christmas candy!

Now that's paradise. 13ut imagine
Maybe
ut
stockings and not very many presents.
a few Christmas decorations and some can-
dy now thats okay but it could improve quite
a lot.
This may sound familiar with some and
m d and
some maybe not but with my
it was.
In my mom's family she used
to o to otock ng r her
dad's drawer and get the biggest
bigger the hang up. I guess they say the
bet-
ter. How about a candle light service on
Christmas eve, my mom did, that's different
for me. The present part I was wrong on. I
thought they wouldn't receive very many, but
with a big family you got lots. On my mom's
side it wouldn't be too bad.
Now on my dad's side its a different story
because my dad's family was very small so
he usually only got two presents. One from his
mom and dad and one from his brother. Im-
agine waiting all year and only getting two
presents! How about for decorations one liv-
ing Christmas tree, sounds exciting doesn't it?
For me maybe and maybe not. My dad once
told me about one of his presents. It was a bike
horn. Of course he found it before Christmas
day so he decided to try it out. He got some
batteries and snuk upstairs and to see if it
worked, he found out that it did work very well
"BEEP!", and after that who might he hear
coming up the steps but his mom! He never
did do that again!
Of course my mom and dad didn't get any
high-tech stuff like five -hundred dollar ghetto -
blasters or giant robots that both take about
twenty dollars of batteries to get them to do
anything but it didn't really matter because
what they got when they were kids wak prq-
bably an awful lot to them. Their Christmas
wouldn't be too bad, but our Christmas I like
it just the way it is!

When Grandpa and his family were young
at Christmas they'decorated their house with
cedar boughs. They put up their own socks for
stockings. They got oranges and mixed can-
is). LLS) LIVPitaP.Psal•, .l.lP...........:.�.^::
brought their stockings up to bed, and ate all
the goodies. For their Christmas dinner they
had a plump goose which they raised
themselves.
When Grandma was little at Christmas her
family had a Christmas Tree. They decorated
it with Christmas balls and popcorn strings.
She put uli-her own stocking too and got fruit,
candy and she always got a small doll. They
ate goose which was raised by her family.

My Mother's Christmas
My mother had Christmas three places a
year. One was at her school, where they work-
ed the hardest but had the most fun. They
would work for about three weeks doing hard-
ly any schoolwork at all. Finally the concert
came and nobody could wait until after. For
who would apear in the doorway but Santa.
He would give gifts to all the children, and a
bag of candy too. At her church they had a
concert and got presents later.
At home she got one present and another
that she needed, like a pair of mittens. And
thats what my mother's Christmas was like.

In a little while mom and I met mom and I met dad racing
down the street in our oldsmobile ( and I mean
olds) without saying a word. I secretly snuck
in the back of dads car. Its faster than a bike
%4r�rl :rrry WHY7i C was missing cartons so 1 need-
ed to get home tact. What a ride! i Liken u
when I pushed the gas peddle to the floor and
we almost reanged Macy's display window. I
loved it but I don't think dad did. I never
thought we'd get home but we did and I got
to see the of the flinstones!
After the Flinstones I went.outside to play.
While I was out there I found a five hundread
Dollar bill in the snow. Little dollar signs
flashed through my head and I could hear
cash regasters opening. I could do three
things...stuff myself with junk food, buy a'lot
of toys or buy a big present for the family. So
I disided to get a big present for everyone. The
time mom and I went shopping I bought a
gumball machine because everyone likes
gumballs don't they?
The End
The Greatest gift of all is....
Once upon a time in New York also known
as The Big Apple I Finster Gladstone was
riding on my baby seat of my mothers bike.
We're going at a nice pace only problem is
that I'm getting soaking wet. Here's mom
driving down a bike path so she doesn't get
stuck in a crowd of people and any ways driv-
ing a bike down a busy New York street can
be suicide. So here I am getting soaking wet
just because morn wanted one more bike ride
before the big snows come.

\` Christmas Night
Santa was packed and ready to go,
When all of a sudden it began to snow.
It piled up in a giant heap,
Till Santa was in very deep.
He called for his reindeer but they wouldn't come,
Santa said "Think of the children it has to be done."
The children r" alone on Christmas day "would come to the tree and they'd say "Hey" ,
Where's all the presents that Santa's to bring and the ornaments and bells that go Ding -a -ling.
Thenthe littlest one would start to cry and he'd say "Santa didn't come But why?"
So we must go,
Even though the wind and snow,
Will slow us down,
My sleigh will be lifted off the ground.
So Santa and his reindeer fought the storm,
And when the children woke on Christmas morn,
They came to the tree and they said "Hey"
Santa did come "Hurray".

Christmas was like this: On the night
before Christmas my dad would cut a tree
for Christmas. After supper they' would put
Christmas tree ornaments, on the tree. The
ornaments belonged to my mother's grand
father. Then they would play carols on a old
organ. When it was time to go to bed mum
put some milk and cookies on the table for
santa and his reindeer. Then she went to
bed. When she woke up she ran down stairs
to see if santa had been there. And he had!
So she woke up het -mum and dad and they
all opened the presents. She got a wagon and
a kaleidascope and they all had sausage
rolls for breakfast.

Christmas is approaching and everybody
is filled with joy and cheer. Wishes are be
made and letters being mailed, along with
the most important one to Santa Claus. To-
day boys wish for space copters, computers,
ghetto -blasters, he-man and many other
things. Girls wishes for stereos, my little
pony, cabbage patch dolls, fluppies and
many other up todate toys and games.
When mom was a girl, her Christmas
went like this: They would have a real tree
to decorate not an artifical one. Santas let-
ters were made up of wishes for a doll and
doll buggy or a pair of skates and boys
wishes for a truck or sleigh. Christmas eve
they had company and went to church with
her dad. Then on Christmas day her grand-
ma and grandpu would be there and they
would open their gifts and have dinner with
lots of homemade cookies, cakes and can-
dies for desert. Then they sang carols and
went to bed.

Dear Santa
Please Santa - I have been a very good girl
this year and worked very hard! I've tried
to be a good teacher and not be too cranky!
(Well, most of the time!) All I really want
for Christmas is some snow please as I've
never had a white Christmas and I go home
to Perth, Australia in January! We never
have snow there at Christmas as it's too hot!
( usually around 40°C!) So won't you please

make it snow for Christmas? ! ! Thanks a
heap! (of snow! ).
