Jesus was born in a stable. The star that God put over Bethlehem was the sign that the son of God was born. The star brought people to worship baby Jesus. Wise men brought Jesus gold and silver. . They were shepherds that came to worship baby Jesus too. That’s what Christmas means to me. Today some people think it is just a “present giving holiday” po it dis not. It is. the day that Jesus, Our Saviour, was born.

Billy Cathey What Christmas Means Christmas means a lot to me. Christmas doesn’t mean that you just get toys. Some people think Christmas is just toys, but it isn’t. Christmas is a fun time, but it is also a special time. Christmas was when God sent his son Jesus to us. God sent Jesus to us because He loves everyone in the whole world. Like the Bible says, “God so lov- ed the world so much that he gave his only son.” (John 3:16). This is what Christmas means Christmas.

Christmas is a time to be thankful for your family and your friends. To me Christmas also means to give gifts just as the wise men gave to Baby Jesus long ago. Christmas is a time for togetherness with family and friends. We also feast on lovely dinners, open gifts, laugh, sing, and we talk about Baby Jesus. To me on Christmas it is our, turn to say that we care about one another and how we feel. Elena Roof . What Christmas Means To Me Christmas to me is a time of celebration. On Christmas we celebrate the birth of Christ who died on the cross to save our sins. Another thing that makes Christmas special is that I get to see and celebrate with other family members. Sometimes we invite my grandmother to eat Christmas dinner with us. We also exchange gifts with each other. Also I like to decorate the Christmas tree when just my family is together. It js also fun to decorate the house and the outside tree. Those are a few things that makes Christmas special to me. Gail Hardin Christmas. .

It is also a time to share love and friendship. Christmas is when our families all get together and exchange gifts and love. To me Christmas is the most impor- tant holiday of all because if God would not have sent his Son we wouldn't be here or have any chance of eternal life. It is a time to go out and help others in their time of need. Christmas is when there is joy, happiness and peace all around us. I hope to have the best Christmas ever.

When other peo- ple are out for Christmas we WNIT Christmas to me is fun. Christmas is a time to give and get gifts. What does Christmas mean to you? Does it mean time to go to sleep and wake up and see gifts? Or does it mean time to sing? It means to do both. For it is a happy time of Christ. and time for love. Love for the Lord. Love for our home, clothes, food and Mom and Dad. But most of all, love for God. | Christmas is the time to love people. That's what Christmas means to me. AIA Jennifer Surratt East School VINA NINII II NINIINS Christmas is my favorite holiday. It means candy, Christmas dinner, presents, Christmas plays, church pro- grams, decorating the Christmas tree, and especially, no school! During the Christmas holidays my family celebrates the birth of Jesus like most families do. We read the Christmas story on Christmas Eve. Sometimes we spend Christmas at a relative’s house. I like that because it means no cleaning up supper dishes. Wherever we are and whatever we are doing, Christmas means being with your family as you celebrate the | birth of the Lord.
