Christmas Traditions
             Every year families around the world people celebrate Christmas in their own special way. Some families like to spend the days before Christmas decorating the Christmas tree together and baking Christmas cookies as a family. Other families go to midnight Church service and have children in Christmas pageants and plays. Some families bake Jesus a Birthday cake and sing Happy Birthday to Him. Other families have a tradition of opening one present on Christmas eve and the rest on Christmas morning. They even read Twas The Night Before Christmas before they go to bed.  Some families stay up all night waiting for Santa Claus drinking eggnog and having a good time.

Santa Claus
                     
                   Kids believe in Santa Claus because they are told about him from an early age. It is like kids believing in the tooth fairy or the Easter bunny. These things are all done in good fun and to add to the festiveness of the holidays that they represent. However, the real story of Christmas should be taught as well. Often kids put Santa higher on their lists than Jesus.  Some mother thinks Santa Claus is an essential part of Christmas and that her daughter should believe as long as possible.

Find It


             We have hidden something around the school again! The item we have hidden this time is an ornament not too big, but no too small. It's a purple ball ornament about the size of a ordinary-size palm. If you find this item, you will get a candy bar of your choice. Please bring the item to Malori LaPorte if found.
