Zurich Citizens News, 1977-12-15, Page 38Citizens News, December 22, 1977 Page 19 Christmas is just another day BY Grade 5 Zurich Public Christmas to a lot of people means getting together with relatives. But to some people Christmas is just another day because they are too poor to do anything about it. In some ways it is a happy time of year and in some ways it is sad. What I mean by sad is, itis as if you are really hungry and you are with a friend who has an ice-cream cone but you don't have any money to buy one. Your friend would probably give you some because he or she would feel sorry for you. What I mean by happy is, you open presents, get together with relatives, sing carols, and have fun sleighriding. But I think you should, especially -now pray and give money to poor people so they can have a Merry Christmas too! BY SCOTT JESNEY Grade 6 Hensall Public Christmas is seen In all the stores, The streets, the houses. It's coming closer and closer Bringing Christmas gifts for all. Bells are heard Every night, Just before Christmas day As you know Santa comes Bringing joy to people. Santa is in the North Building and wrapping Just before Christmas. As you wait You will see Gifts around your tree. BY JEFF MC KELLAR Grade 7 Huron Centennial Christmas is a time for giving A time for receiving too - With childrens hopes of seeing gifts Under the big cedar tree Church bells are ringing merrily Carolers are singing happily Decorating the house with wreaths and holly With lights and stars too Christmas is a happy time The funnest time of the year BY MARY BROWN Grade 7 Huron Centennial The night before Christmas is almost over For Gerry, John, Elizabeth and Rover. The girls all hope for lots of nice toys And electric trains hope the boys. They hang their stockings by the fire And on this night they seem never to tire. The decorations are all on the tree And no-one is as happy as me. The children are alltucked in their beds With lots of sweet things running through their heads. Their waking on Christmas will come with haste And with their candies nothing will they waste. Mama and Papa will shed many a tear When they open the gifts that their kids gave them this year. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! BY LORI BEDARD St. Boniface If I could make the world better I wouldn't have so many factories to pollute the air and water. I would make people pay a fine for killing wildlife they kill without reason. Food, medical care, doctors and other supplies could be sent to the poorer countries. I would get jobs for the Indian, black and for other coloured people. If people stopped smoking and drinking we would have a much safer world to live in. BY BARRY TURNER Grade 7 Huron Centennial Lying in my bed, Things spinning 'in my head, Of what those presents under the tree, Might contain for me, It was quite a fuss, In the Christmas rush. Will it all be worth it, Just to make Christmas day a hit? Christmas day's worth anything, So our house with joy will ring, Merry Christmas to all, And a Happy New Year. BY KATHY ANN KELLER Grade 4 Zurich Public C is for Christmas day H is for the herald angels. R is for our Redeemer dear. I is for Israel. S is for the shepherds who came. T is for the three shepherds. M is for the manger that Jesus lay in. A is for the arrival of Jesus. S is for the Saviour's birth. BY JOANNE McKINLEY Grade 7 Zurich Public The spirit of Christmas some people say Is the feeling you have on Christmas day. Some say it's candles with fragrance sweet Or the luscious turkey we love to ea t. But the Spirit of Christmas don't you see, Is not the snow, or wreaths, or trees. The Spirit of.

I wanted to know if he put a pillow down his shirt or he ate lots of fat. I asked him and he said he ate lots of fat, I still wanted to know where he got all the stomach. He said I talked to much. Then he asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I said I wanted Mr. mouth. Then I said good-bye. He gave me a little bag of candy. BY PETER MILLER Grade 7 Zurich Public The Christmas tree is a symbol of spirit of the Yuletide in many homes. The are several stories about the origin of this distinguished tree. It is still a mystery which story is true. There are several variations of these trees, spruce, scotch pine, cedar and fir, but there is still more. The way that we use this beautiful specimen, is to decorate it with colourful ornaments and lights. • Everyone waits for the evening to put it up, at least I do! There is one special ornament that everyone should have, and that is the star which shone brightly when Jesus, our Christ child was born. BY DAVID GINGERICH Zurich Public Dear Santa I have been a good boy. How is Mrs. Claus. I want a Mieecano set and a walkie talkie for Christ- mas. I want you to think of others too. Your friend David Gingerich. BY DWAYNE MARTIN Grade 7 Zurich Public Christmas dinner, what a delight, After the sparkles of Christmas night. ' With turkey and stuffing and all good things, And candies and cakes fit for kings. Christmas dinner, what a treat, It always brings good things to eat. To the table I feel a pull, I'll soon be very, very full. BY GREGORY HARTMAN St. Boniface The world would be better in 1978 without as many wars or battles or deaths. Everybody can help plant trees to make our world look better and help prevent forest fires. It would also be nice to have a world that is not polluted.
