Everyone knows that Christmas comes once
year and that Christmas is the best holiday
IN the year. I will first tell you how we came
to have Christmas We did not have Christ
mas before Christ was born. Christ was born
in a manger. He was born in Bethlehem. His
fathers name was Joseph and his mothers
name was Mary. We do not know exactly
whether Christ was born on the twenty-tifth Of
December or if he was born later or before the
ty-hfth OF December. In the far off lands
like France, Holland and Norway they do not
have Christmas the same way as we do. We
al KIN wv that the Holland children wear wood
en- shoes. and every Christmas eve ST. Nicho-
las comes and fills each little shoe with pre-
SCENTS. The Holland children call their Santa
Claus St. Nicholas. The way we have our
Christmas is to have q tree and hang up our
stockings and expect Santa Claus 1t is better
to give gifts than to receive. We should al
ways try to make others happy. l wish you
all happy Christmas and happy New Year

Christmas is the day on which the
birth Of Christ is celebrated. The
children are delighted on this particn-
lar day because they expect to get so
many presents, and when Christmas
Eve comes they delight in hanging up
their stockings to be filed by the good
old Saint Nicholas as we call him but
old folks as a rule do not hang up
their stockings. The tree is thought
Of the most by the children. Christ
mas is a day for young and old, high
and low. The candles are generally
used to add to the brightness of the
tree. On Christmas carols are sung.
The holly sprigs are used mostly to
trim the house. In some countries
the festival is held in the month Of
May or April but we keep it on Dec.
18th. There is usually a family re-
union or a Christmas tree in every
family.

Christmas comes on the twenty fl fth
Of December. We keep it in memory
of Jesus Christ's BIRTH Many hun
dreds of years ago some shepherds
were out at night herding their flock
OF sheep. They looked up and beheld
a star shining in the east, they be-
came frightened but an angel came
down from heaven, and told them not
to fear, for on that morn Christ the
Lord was born. He was born in a
Manager in a stable at Bethlehem. We
have Christmas every year. We keep
Christmas by giving each other pres
ents. This day we should try to make
every one happy as we'll as our selves.
In the old countries of Europe the peo-
pie used to put up a large stick, and
on it they placed some grain, for the
birds to eat

The CHRISTMAS FEAST
Why We Observe the Merriest
Day of the Year.
Essays Written BY Pupils of
the Wil1fnar Public Schools.

Christmas is the happiest time of all
the year. We Set it apart as holi-
day because on that day Christ was
born. On Christmas friends and rela-
tlves gather together to have a pleas
ant time. In the evening a Christmas
tree is had and is loaded with presents
from top to bottom till the branches
nearly break, then the tree is soon re-
leased from It's heavy burden and the
presents are distributed to their own
ers and everyone seems happy. Bed
time soon arrives and the big and the
small fellows all crawl in bed and
hang their stockings up in a corner
where Santa Claus is most likely to
find them and fill them when he comes
that way. In the morning before
dawn all are up to get their stockings
and See whether they were filled with
candy, or saw dust which all bad boys
and girls receive.

sion for the claimant, our people will be
required to go down deep into the pock ct
to satisfy the demand. And if these
claims shall be fairly established by law,
against the Boro, those in authority must
admit having been grossly negligent.
