1 3 f W. L. H. S. AMPLIFIER, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1929. CHRISTMAS IN MONTREAL, QUEBEC i“THE CHRISTMAS OF A RUSSIAN GIRL.” SANTA CLAUn LETTERS What a lot of fun On Christinas day, to go up to Mount Royal, and take new skiis, toboggans, snow shoes, or skates, and enjoy a full day of rollicking fun in the snow. Because Mount Royal is not as high as some of the mountains here, it is safe for people to go up there in sleighs and have a real good time on Christmas. Montreal, being a French city, does not celebrate until New Year’s; but as nearly half of the people are English, they take ad vantage of the Christmas spirit and join in, too. Have you ever tried tobogganing down a mountain? A person, I think, has the biggest thrill of his life; it about fakes his breath away. Skiing is the most, popular of all winter sports. It is very exciting to watch a ski-jumper? but sometimes he jumps for the lhstT time, Very dangerous! Ice-skating is a favorite sport, too. Lots of bumps, but think of the fun you have earned by just receiv ing a few for the sake of a good time. Snowshoeing is fast becoming a memory. Very few people go in .for that; others like to go flying down the road on skiis behind a horse. As soon as it becomes dark, the penpie light a big bonfire, the re flections of which can be seen in the sky. A' masquerade is planned, and everyone who has a costume competes for the prizes- Some do fancy skating. The masquerade soon comes to an end, and many tired and happy people go home well satisfied with their Christmas day. In an old building in Russia, along the Volga-river, lived a little girl, barely a dozen years of age. The floor was bare, and the glass in the window was broken, with rags stuck in to keep as much wind and snow out as was possible. It was'not a happy little girl who sat on a broken chair on the side of the bed of her very ill mother. She was singing ever so softly, to bring as much cheerfulness as possible to the lonely place. Suddenly at a door a gentle jingle of Christmas bells, was heard, and as suddenly disappear ed. The girl thought she must have been dreaming and said, “Mother, did you hear the . bells ?” The mother was very weak; so her Voice was low, but the little girl eaught the words, for her to open the door. With a little lighter step she went to the door and opened it. A cry of joy escaped lmr,,as her eyes fell dn a basket and a blanket. With full arms, and joy in her eyes, she #an to the bed to show her mother what was left. Never had a blankei^felt so warm, and candies and fruit® tast ed so good as to these two lonely people. Although they never found whb¥eft the things, they had a hap- pier' Christmas than the wealthiest of people.
