I will try to be better. Please forgive my sins. I want to wish you a Happy Birthday and a Merry Christmas. The End. By Cynthia St. Joseph's Christmas At Grand-Ma and Grand-Pa's Hi my name is Katie. I am 10 years old. I have one younger brother, brother, his name is Matthew. He and I don't always get along but sometimes he is fun to have around. Matt and I are very excited about Christmas. We are counting the days. Mom says that for Christmas we will be going to see. Grand-Ma. I love going to sec Grand-Ma, but I wish we didn't have to go for Christmas. I don't think it's going to be the same without being home. I keep asking Mom if Santa is going to know where we are. Mom just keeps on telling me that Santa will know exactly where we will be. Finally, it was Christmas Eve. We had to wake up early to get ready. Dad said that we will all have to be in the car by 9:00 a.m. and no later. We all got in the car while Dad was busy loading up the car. It took us 6 hours to arrive at Grand-Ma and Grandpa's Grandpa's house. They live near a great big lake. It's beautiful there, especially in the summer. I was so happy when I saw Grand-Ma and Grand-Pa. They wouldn't stop hugging Matt and Me. 1 think they really missed us a lot. I had fun that evening. I was playing cards with Grand-Pa. But I think he really loves to cheat. He's so funny! After playing two games I was really beginning to get tired. I went to bed knowing that when I wake up in the morning it will be Christmas. The next morning I woke up bright and early. I quickly ran downstairs downstairs and saw all the beautiful wrapped Christmas gifts. I guess I was so happy that I woke everyone in the house. It took us several hours to open the gifts one by one, but it was fun! I was so happy to have received my very own pair of skates. They were just beautiful! Grand-Pa said that now I should go outside and skate on the big lake. Boy it was a lot ' of fun! I even went tobogganing and skidooing. This was the best Christmas Christmas that I ever had. I hope that Grand-Ma and Grand-Pa will invite us next Christmas. The End Yvonne St. Joseph's Just Window Shopping? _ 1SI W mmmmarn iBIace) REJOICE May you find peace in the light of His love.
