What Christmas Means To Me
By Danicelie Wallace
Age il

I believe in Santa — as a symbol
of love and sharing, and of peace
on earth,

Christmas is a time when family
and friends gather, a time for
celebration and tradition, a time
for goodwill to others.

Some things have remained con-
Stant over the years, as I grow
older,

The irresistible aroma of my
mom's heavenly baking wafts
through the air like a melody.

Decorating the tree, encompass-
ed in the warm crackling glow
from the fireplace.

The excitement of finding that
special little something for some-
one and anticipating that precious
Sparkle in their eyes.

J am enraptured by the innocent,
wide-eyed, wonderment of little
children.

On Christmas Eve, amidst the
flurry of activity, with twinkling
lights reflecting around us, we
Pause to open one gift.

What Christmas Means To Me
By Kristina Griesser
Age 12

-To me Christmas means ‘Love’.

It means peace and friendship;
Kindness and happiness.

Christmas is also a time
mixed feelings.

We are sad because we wish
people who have gone before us
coud be here to enjoy the hap-
piness of the holidays, yet we are
glad because we still have our
friends and members of the family
surrounding us.

Christmas is a time for giving,
but to be honest I should add for
‘receiving’.

For small children it is a time for
the spirit of Santa Claus to enter

for

symbol
sharing

Dasielle Wallace

As I attend midnight church
services with my family, I am
thankful for frietidships, old and
new.

Reflecting on what life has given
me, 1 am thankful for life itself.

It is not the material things that
create the spirit of Christmas, but
a feeling from within our hearts. It
is one of hope and of giving.

Tree, bright lights
are Christmas signs

What Christmas Means To Me
By Margaret Wilson
Age 12

The best sign of Christmas to me
fs a big evergreen tree with bright
lights shining our into the dark
winter night,

Also, presents with bright col-
Ored paper and ribbons.

I can imagine all my relatives
Sitting around a fire watching the
tree and talking quietly with the
smell of turkey and mashed
Potatoes coming front the kitchen.

But in all my happiness, I still
feel sad, thinking of the poor
children without any dinner or
presents to look forward to.

Margaret Wilson

ans ‘love’

remember; it is He who makes
Christmas possible.

Christmas dinner and all the gifts
receive just

their house, and leave many pres-
ents under the tree.

It is also a time for turkey din-
ner and a large or small amount of
friends sharing the meal.

Ob! Lalmost forgot. One of the
most important signs of
Christmas, rhe Christmas tree.

Shining with its decorated bran-
ches and its gleaming star, a glow-
ing angel is placed at the very top.

In concluding, ! must add the

most important subject of
Christmas: the birth of Christ.
Most everyone knows the

Christmas story of the little citild
being born in a_ stable in
Bethlehem, the visit of the shep-
herds, the three wise men and the
gifts they gave Him.
