Christmas means that Jesus was born! We like to give presents to people. My family gave a shoebox gift at my school. I like to sing Christmas songs. We bake Christmas cookies at my house and give them to my grandma. I love to help my dad set up the Christmas tree and put up our stockings!

Christmas is about Jesus! When I think about Christmas, I feel happiness. It is a time for joy!

Adrian Ryther

Christmas means giving. I gave a shoebox to Operation Christmas Child so someone far away could have a special present. Sometimes I give gifts to my parents and friends. I like to help my mom decorate our tree. My family goes to church. I am so excited about our Christmas concert at my school!
