It is a time to be joyful on Christmas Eve, to be joyful when you get presents, to be joy ful for your family on Christmas Eve, and to be joyful to the world. Victor S.

It is okay to enjoy the fun part of Christmas with Santa and presents, but you really have to remember the part when Jesus comes to us with joy and love. Just think what would happen if we only paid attention to the fun part of Christmas, just think how selfish and greedy we would be. That would not be good. Please God help my wish come tme!

So the next day really early in the morning, I went to the room where the presents were and when I got there my mom was standing right in front of the door. So I had to wait until Christmas.

It was a cold winter day and I was just getting out of bed at about 8:00 in the morning and that's when I remem bered that tomorrow was Christmas and my whole family was coming over to celebrate. I dashed downstairs excitedly" and ate breakfast. Then I dashed back upstairs and got into some clothes. Then I heard my mom calling me. She was trying to tell me that we were going to church (as usual) then we were headed to my friend Julia's house and my aunt was coming to spend Christmas with us. That night I got all dressed up to go to church. At church I saw Julia and her family. After church was over I asked Julia if she wanted to come in my car but she said that she just wanted to meet me at her house so I got in my car and she got in her car and then we were off. Once we were at her house we got in our bathing suits to go swimming in her hot tub. After we got out of the hot tub we had a big feast and I went home and went to bed because it was late! My whole family went to my broth er's room to read `Twas the night before Christmas. After the story we went straight to bed. The next morning I got up at 6:00 a.m. and ran into my parents room where my brothers were and we went downstairs together. After opening presents we ate break fast and waited for our guests to come. Then we heard the doorbell and this time my brother Jeff got to answer the door. After everybody was here all the kids played while the parents prepared dinner. After dinner everybody went home. The reason that this is my favourite Christmas memory is because this is where most of our Christmas traditions started. Laura P.

One crisp morning it was really windy and snow clouds were getting bigger and bigger and bigger. They were white and it looked like rain was going to come. People all over Magsnowlia were busy getting ready for their season that is like our Christmas called "Fairies in Christ's birth". My name is Crystal and I am a fairy who makes ice crystals or snowflakes. I am a mystical fairy who makes weather and lots of it. I started turning some clouds into ice crystals. They looked beautiful as always but not as nice as the ones that fall on "Fairies in Christ's birth". I flew off to have a break after all the work I'd done. I drifted off in the clouds. Mean while some fairies were off in the distance. Someone called Mino was o.k. What I didn't know was that he was planning to try and take over "Fairies in Christ's birth", which was not good. His plan was to destroy some of the fairies and steal their pow ers. While I was having a super time I didn't know what trouble I was headed for. I headed back with some of my fairy friends to see Mino floating around, around looking strange. I asked him "What are you doing around this part of the clouds?" and he responded "Just flying around." But he said it in a sly and suspicious way. After a little while he pulled out ajar and suddenly captured us. We tried to get out but it was no use it was sealed. He took us to his cavern and put the jar down. Two days passed and we were still locked in it was almost "Fairies in Christ's birth" and we hadn't even start ed to make snowflakes. All of a sudden Crystal j.r. came flying into the cavern and let us out. After we got out we asked Mino why he had tried to wreck this holiday season. He explained that he didn't like living up high. So Snowball queen sent him to earth and we made our snowflakes just in time to create a white Christmas. Natasha R.
