Jesus's birthday and setting up Christmas decorations. All my family comes to my house for dinner to be happy with what we have! To pray to Jesus who gave us life and to pray to God, Mary, Joseph, the shepherds and the wise man. By Cameron ­ Grade 3 Christmas means giving, sharing and others. People come knocking on doors to sing Christmas carols. Elves are really good at making stuff. I hang all my ornaments on my pine tree. God is Jesus's father. By Noah ­ Grade 2 It is sometimes joyful. My friends come over to play. We have snowball fights. We make snow angels. It is fun! By Elliot ­ Grade 2 What Christmas means to me is friends because my friends come over and I play my piano and sing Christmas carols. It means when Jesus was born. Christmas is all about the presents that we get and the joy that we get by having fun. It is going tubing with Andraya and Barbara and John. Have a happy Christmas. By Jelena ­ Grade 2 Christmas means to me Jesus's birth is on that day so people have Adam celebrations. In my family we bring lots of joy! We put up our trees and stockings. We go shopping to give people gifts. I try to be good so Santa gives me toys. Each Christmas I go outside to play in the snow. Christmas makes me feel happy because Jesus was born on that day. By Zachary ­ Grade 2 Katrina My tree is nice and cute. We hang candy canes on it and put presents under it. It is joy, love, happiness when Santa comes saying "Ho! Ho! Ho!" Christmas is a joyful time! By Lauren ­ Grade 2 Luke Chantelle
