A jo y lu l nine o f year when you give gilts io people in
your family. It also means loving and earing lor others on
Christinas day. Nor just the gilts, but what you feel in
your heart, even if it isn’ t the g ilt you wanted, you should
love them and be very, very, great I ul and be happy with
what you have, even if you don’ t like the gift that you have
and your parents payed alot o f money. Remember it’s the
thought that counts.

W inter is not a very nice thing. The snow makes you
cold, the ice makes you slide But there is something
good about winter, and I know just the thing. You can
make snowmen and snowballs. And the best thing o f all
is the hot chocolate. Another thing is I can get a cold
and w on’ t have to go to school.
