Christmas means so much to me
With all the candles, and Christ

The baby Jesus who was born
On that lovely Christmas morn.
The three wise men who came
from far
Came following the Eastern Star;
Offering gifts to the lovely Babe
When in its manger it was laid.

What Christmas Means to Me.
Christmas means a lot to me.
It is the birthday of Jesus instead
of merely a day of giving and re
ceiving gifts. The day is set aside
in holy worship of His birth, so we
should think of the true meaning
of Christmas instead of Santa
Claus each Christmas. Think of
your gifts you send this year as
those that the three Wise Men
gave Jesus at his birth, and your
Christmas carols as the ones the
angels sang that night. If every

Christmas this year, I think we
would have a happier nation.
By Carolyn Stroud.
What Christmas Means to Me.
This is what Christmas means to
me,
It means Christ was born to die on
the tree.
He was born to save us from sin;
This includes children, women, and
men.
To some it means business;
To some it means happiness.
But of course you have to have
a tree,
Or it wouldn’t be Christmas for
you and for me.
By Wendell Lee Brown.
What Christmas .Means to Me.
To me Christmas means the
birthday of Jesus. It means the
act of Riving gifts as the Wise
Men brought gifts to Jesus.
To little children it means San
ta’s coming and the giving of gifts.
Christmas means the giving of
Christmas plays with the Wise
Men and the Shepherds coming to
worship the new born King.
Christmas is a wonderful time,
and I think we should think of it as
the birthday of Jesus instead of
thinking only of giving gifts.
—By Ann Hall.
Christmas.
Christmas means a lot of things
To all the girls and boys,
To little ones it means just one—
Santa will bring them toys.
But most of all it means to us
It was the day that Christ was
born.
Everyone came from near and far
They followed the bright and
shining star
They found Him in a stable dim
Away, far off in Bethlehem.
Today they still worship Him
Away, far over the sea,
And if you will do the same—
What a great child you will be!
—By Evelyn Rhodes.
What Christmas Means to Me.
About this time of year there
comes an enchantment in the air.
There is especially to the young
ster- a thought of Santa and toys,
which, of course, is the spirit of
giving.
But the main thing which you
should think of is Christ. If there
was no Savior there would be no
Christmas. The things which make
Christmas are Carolers standing
in the white glittering snow, and
inside, you find candles standing
with boughs of holly and mistle
toe on the mantle of a nice, warm,
cozy fireplace. Adding to this is
the sweet laughter of a small
cl ild underneath a Christmas
tree, shining bright with a color
ful array of lights.
All this put together makes a
beautiful scene of Christmas.
-—By Dian Miller.
The Meaning of Christmas.
Christmas is a time of great joy.
Many years ago, a Savior was born
in a lowly stable. No one knows
the exact date but a person as im
portant as Jesus should have a
birthday. The birthday of a King
gradually became December 25.
To some Christmas is the most
wonderful holiday of all. It is a
day of giving and getting. All
around Christmas Day there are
decorations, trees, wreaths, lights,
and all kinds of greenery. Every
body decorates. From the great
trees and lights down to the little
bells and holly boughs, there is
beauty. There is beauty because
the hearts of the people are filled
with beauty —Frank Justice

pers, the chimes, the carols and
me lighted churches, show that the
Town of Old Fort is ready for
Christmas.
