For decorations we made popcorn and cranberry strings, home made cookies, puffs of wool and candles. Then we went to church. After church we had Christmas dinner. For dinner we had a nice plump goose, carrots, pota- toes, gravy and for dessert we had a Christmas pudding. After that we sang carols by the fire. Well I have to go now.

We wish you a Merry Christmas. Leah Driscoll, S.A. Cawker A beautiful Christmas When we have Christmas we put the tree up the day before Christmas. When we put the candles on the tree and light them we don't leave them or go to bed. We put the stocking on the fireplace. The stocking is a sock. I got a wooden doll and an apple in my stocking and a wooden Santa doll. My brother got a wooden train and a reindeer that was made out of wood and an orange in his stocking. My mom gave me a story book and my dad gave me a fishing rod that he made and my mom and my dad and brother gave me two can- dles. My mom and my dad and I gave my brother a wooden twin of himself. At dinner time we had lots of food. We had a big turkey and potatoes and we had lots more things to eat. By Katie Adams, S.A. Cawker Our Wish | : May this Christmas be your merriest.
