What can we make? A snowman, or a funny man, or an old man, or a woman. That's what I know about snow. Erin Grade 6 ! What Christmas Means To Me Christmas is about what's not in your hands, but what's in your heart. On Christmas morning, I like to see my relatives and friends. Christmas is when baby Jesus was born. That was a gift to people; to see Jesus born in a manger. Whenever I sec the Christmas tree, my heart and lace fill with joy. I like to see my sisters get excited with the lights and decorations. decorations. Christmas is a time to think about giving instead of just receiving. When the snow sets on the ground, I know that Christmas is near. I enjoy having Christmas meal with family and relatives over the holidays. holidays. It doesn't matter to' me if it is just a simple meal, as long as we're all together. My family being with me on Christmas is more than enough than a present. Kayian Ashley Carolers sing in the street... Holly has been cut... Reindeer arc ready to fly... Icicles arc shining... Santa checks his list... Tinsel is hung on the tree... My stocking is hung... Angels are heard on high... Shepherds arc watching... watching... These arc the signs of Christmas Laura- To me Christmas doesn't doesn't mean presents. To me Christmas means being pleasant. Christmas is a time to remember Jesus; and bow he loved us. To me Christmas means joy, hope and all other good things in life. I hope that when you think of Christmas it brings better things than toys to mind. That's what Christmas means to me. Elizabeth My Most Memorable Christmas My most memorable Christmas was in 1996. All through the house there was not a peep. Everybody in my family was completely silent. There was one big, humongous present under the tree and everybody was waiting because my mom and dad do*this evcrÿ'ycar.i They put one big present under the tree with no name on it then at Christmas they give it to someone. This year they pushed it over to me. I rapidly lore off the wrapping paper and saw a box. At first I thought it was a prank and they wrapped a lot of boxes together with something little inside but they didn't. As I opened the box a gigantic dog popped out at me. The dog was stuffed but it was still gigantic. I got a little dog to go with it. That was my most memorable Christmas. Leslie Christmas Christmas is here we have it once at year. The snow is so white and the sun is so bright we play in the snow all day and night. We go bob-sledding on a hill at a place called Bowmanvillc Mill. Sweaters and coals as furry as goats hot chocolate and tea all for me. Christmas has ended why so fast the snow and the gifts all in the past. The snow melts away as I say we will sec you next Christmas when the fun will stay!!!
