"When are we going to set the Christmas Tree up?" "I'll get it in a minute Adam." "OK!" When she got it all out we had to put it together. It was an ar- tificial tree. I try to put the decora- tions on but my mom just moves them. We have some special bulbs and ornaments. Most of our decora- tions are broken. Then I put on the glittering tinsel. To top it off I put on the star and the lights. DECORATING THE CHRISTMAS TREE by Laura Phoenix Gr. 6 - Greenbank Public School Every year Christmas comes anc its time to decorate the tree. I want to tell you about one particular year, the year when I was just a toddler. I remember standing on my tippy toes trying to reach up the big tall tree and then big strong hands came up behind me lifted me up to the big tree. My favorite time of year is Christmas and I will always think back to that vear of being a toddler BUSINESS DIRECTORY MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES Country Ceramic Studio * Workshops * Large Greenware Selection * All Supplies Available * Authorized Duncan Dealer * Air Brushing * Custom Firing WHERE EXPERIENCE COUNTS PORT PERRY PLAZA DON CORNEIL Auctioneering Services Sales at Your Residence Or Our Auction Barn R.R.1, LITTLE BRITAIN Call (708) 7868-2183 Hwy. 1A Phone 985-0242 CLARENCE WILLCOCK WELDING Shop & Mobile Fab. & Repairs PHONE 985-2589 EMIVIEF E BROKERS LIMITED 193 QUEEN 8T., PORT PERRY All Lines of General Insurance REPAIRS TO ALL MAKES Washers - Dryers - Stoves BUY -- SELL -- TRADE 'Scugog Alliance Repair Fridges - Dishwashers - Freezers "all 986-B312 Anytime CREIR=1=1=Twgc]e] 1 ip TOM VANDERENDE Greenbank Public School Christmas tree trimming and decorating that tree. DECORATING THE CHRISTMAS TREE by Shannon Tromas Gr. 6 - Greenbank Public School Last night my dad went out and chopped down a small Scotch Pine for our Christmas Tree. My sister and I were busy stringing popcorn when it got home. My mom put it in a corner of the living-room. I started to put the tinsle on it. Mom put the star on the top.- Holly and Pam put on the ornamants, I put the presents under. It looks terrific! DECORATING THE CHRISTMAS TREE by Kylie Kearns Gr. 6 - Greenbank Public School Decorating the Christmas Tree is a tradition that many people: celebrate. At my place maybe things are different so I will tell you what goes on. We always have a happy time picking out the tree. My brother usually finds the best looking tree, then we bring it home. My dad gets the lucky job of putting it up and then we all set to work putting on the pretty decorations like the lights, the carolers, the glass people, the garland, the pretty red beads and of course don't forget the angels. We always have a good time and I just can't wait till next year. DECORATING THE CHRISTMAS TREE by Craig Robinson - Gr. 6 - Greenbank Public School Decorating the Christmas tree, Is really fun for me. I wait for it all year round, When we put it up, and take it down. We put the tree up together, In all sorts of weather, We decorate the tree, Just my Mom, Dad, sister and me.
