One was 6 feet tall, too short, said my ma so 8 feet it was. The stem was real long so that meant a lot of...presents. Soon it was Christmas Eve dinner with a turkey, baked potatoes, carrots, cran- berry and pudding for desert. We were all too excited to watch T.V. that night so we went to bed early to wait for next morn. Next day we were up just like a shot and zoomed down stairs and looked in our socks.

From then to now Christmas has changed Things have been moved and rearanged. Candles for instance they used to be Instead of light bulbs put on the tree. The cutter drawn by horses have to Be replaced by the mighty skidoo. It speeds around at such a pace, Without any jingles or any grace. Santa now comes, but nobody knows Without all his ho hos.
