McFADDEN'S Car Wash & Laundromat Year after year, a lot of people are sitting, till their hearts content. alot of them are preparing cakes and bread, etc. Christmas to me reminds me of Christ who died on the cross to forgive our sins. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be existing. Its just a wonderful story, and it brings back memories in the olden days. Christmas makes me also think of how we are well off, and enormous supplies, e.g. gas. Everybody is joyous and happy because soon the greatest miracle shall arrive like the blossoms in spring. Isn't if just great going to comfortable church ser- vices, plays,.etc. "Carol" is a great word combining with Christmas. "Deck the Halls", "Joy to the World", "God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen". It ties in greatly with our society today. Gee, if everybody would have been there then. Sometimes Christmas goes overboard. I'm sure if everybody helped pitch in a Santa's on his way fo deliver a happy day! PORT CLEANERS Everyone's singing out in merriment and joy, announcing to the world that it's Christmas!

WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME Christmas eve is coming near, Soon Santa will appear. On Christmas eve stay in bed Santa will leave when the reindeer are fed. Jesus gave us this very nice day. If it wasn't for him. children just wouldn't he gay. It was on the news on Christmas eve, That some children saw Santa leave. Don't look under the Christ- mas tree, Until Mom and Dad let you see. Stacy Brown Grade 5 Epsom P.S. WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME Christmas is gifts and trees and candies and all the other things but really Christmas is Jesus' hirth- day. We give out gifts to each other. We hang up bells and decorate the tree with candy canes and other pretty decorations. At night we tern on the coloured lights to light up the tree and house. On Christmas eve when Jesus was horn 3 wise men came to the stable to see the baby. They gave the hahy Jesus gifts. In the stable with Jesus was Mary and Joseph. the cow, the sheep and the donkey. Baby Jesus slept in the cows manger. Janet Hofstee Grade 4 Epsom PS. CHRISTMAS A special moment is very near Christmas time again is here. Snow is falling everywhere, Christmas music is in the air. Nineteen hundred and seventy-five years ago, In a land without a flake of snow, Christ was born in Bethlehem, People brought gifts and offered them. With Him He brought light, On that cold, dark night. A bright glowing star That could be seen afar. And now years later from that day, We celebrate Christmas in a joyful way. Exchanging gifts as we always do, Wishing a Merry Christmas to you! Lisa Feasby Prince Albert P.S. May the blessings of the holy season fill you with peace and joy.
