18 -- Port Perry Star Christmas Edition -- Monday, Dec. 22, 1975 x Ig = x RF A = -- WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME --- Christ's name is in the word Christmas and that's one reason I think of him. We remember his lowly birth in the manger. Also, we think of the sheperds and wise men who bore gifts unto him. That's like us today we give also. If you want a good Christmas think of Christ our Savior. He will help you appreciate and get something out of this day not only presents and food. Christmas is a wonderful day With Santa coming on his sleigh All the gifts are under the tree, I hope there are some for me. The tree with its gleeming lights Give the people many delights, In the fields the people are tilling, THIS CHRISTMAS Christmas will be full of joy, A doll for a girl, a train for a boy. We not only think of food and, toys, We think of Mary and Joseph's young boy, It's because of him that we have this day, To be happy, joyful and very gay. Let's get in the spirit, let's sing and let's shout, Christmas is coming there is no doubt. Tracey Elson Grade 6 Epsom PEACE...
