If I could change the world I would take away all bandits and robbers. By Lauren - Gr.3, Holy Family One Christmas I got a hockey net and a ball and a stick and on the same Christmas my mom and my mom's boyfriend bought a trip to Cuba. When we were at Cuba there was a man that caught a barracuda and walked home. It was the best Christmas. By Camden, Gr. 3, Holy Family My favourite Christmas tradition is... putting the angel on the top of my family's Christmas tree. Every year since I was a little baby, my big brother would put me on his shoulders, and I would put the angel up. I love this tradition! I have done this tradition since I could walk when I was a baby and would like to keep on doing this till I am old and wrinkled and I can no longer walk. I love Christmas. By Sophia, Gr. 3 St. Andrew My favourite Christmas tradition is when my dad comes home from UAE. I feel so excited when he comes home be- cause my whole family is together again. My dad pretends that he did not get any presents for me. He always tricks me by saying he forgot all the presents in the UAE! He opens his big bag and gives my family their presents. We all thank God for bringing our family back together, especially at Christmas time. By Nicholas, Gr. 3, St. Andrew My favourite family Christmas tradition is spending time with my family and loving them and caring for Jesus and going to church and respecting the priest and listening to the priest because he knows about Jesus and all of us love Jesus too. By Jessica - Gr.2, Holy Family My favorito oso de peluche Yo reoy darle la gracias a papadios y a Jesus By Gabriel - Gr. 2, Holy Family It was when my friend got a Ninja mask for Christmas. It was so funny that day. It was cool as well.
