What is your most un
forgetable Christmas? Mrs.
Faye Williams’ fifth grade
social studies class at North
Summerville wrote about
Christmases that they
remembered.
Here are their comments:
“Last year was the
Christmas I'll never forget.
When we got our Christmas
tree, we got it in a funny way.
You see, we live in the woods
where a river runs close by.
We saw a good fir tree that
would make a good Christmas
tree. It was across the river on
the other side. My daddy had
to wade across the river, chop
down the tree, and float the
tree back across the river. The
river was very cold. We put
the tree into the back of our
truck and took it home. My
brother, momma, daddy and I
decorated it gaily. My brother
and I got almost everything
we wanted. I don't know if
you agree with me, but that is
the Christmas I'll never
forget!"-CH ARLENE
STEPHENS.
“One Christmas 1 did not
get to buy my mother much. I
was flat broke but I got her a
little something. She got me
some big stuff and I felt bad.
But 1 learned that it's not
what you get it’s how you give
it. So I started to feel good
and I did not tell her. So we
ate supper and then got ready
to go to bed. I went to bed
feeling good because I had
done the best I

"My brother was going to
get his picture taken with San
ta Claus and after he got his I
was going to get mine. Mom
set him up in Santa Claus’ lap
and they started to take the
Eicture, but they stopped
ecause my little brother pull
ed his beard off! I started
laughing because he looked so
funny without a beard, but,
Santa didn’t think it was fun
ny.”—KERRY KIRBY.
“My best Christmas was a
long time ago. I got up at 3:00
in the morning. When I was
finished getting dressed I
went into the living room. It
was too dark for me to see any
of the presents except a very
big bicycle. I went into my
daddy’s room and woke him
up. I asked him if it was time
to get up and he said, "Go to
Bed." I just went back into
the living room and went to
sleep on the sofa. When I
woke up my brothers were
opening their packages. Guess
what? The big bicycle belong
ed to me!"—ROBERT BUR
DICK.
"One Christmas while I
was playing with the toys that
Santa had brought for me I
heard the shattering of glass
breaking. 1 did not know what
I heard but it just hit me that
the cat was in the house
because it was cold outside.
Then I ran up the steps to the
tree and there was the cat. He
had broken the star on the top
of the tree!’’ —KELLY
STOKES.
“The Christmas I had a'
broken arm was the
Christmas before last.
Although I had a broken arm
I sure did tear into those
firesents. Everyone felt sorry
or me and had given me extra
presents."—JANlNE HAMP
TON.
“It was a white Christmas
down in Florida. We were on
our way down there we arriv
ed there at 12:00 p.m. 1 can
see it now. They were playing
with their toys just having
themselves a-a-a- ball
laughing, joking and having
such fun. I could hear
something “Jingle bells.
Jingle bells, Jingle all the
way” on and on I heard that
song.’’—SHEILA MOSLEY.
“It was Christmas Eve. I
was still awake when Dad and
Mom were coming down the
hall. I closed my eyes so they
wouldn’t know I was awake.
They were in the bedroom do
ing something. Then I saw
Dad and Mom come up the
hall with presents in their
hands. Then I knew there
wasn’t any Santa Claus—the
secret was out!’’—GAßY
YOUNG.
“This is a Christmas I’ll
never forget... The day
before Christmas my mother
put that mud cleansing for
mula on her face. My Uncle
Dan was sitting in the den
watching TV. My mother
walked in the room and my
Uncle Dan almost jumped to
the moon. My mother just
stood there laughing her head
off, while my Uncle Dan was
scared to death!”—CHRISTY
SMITH.
“I was six years old and I
got my first bike. It was red
and it had training wheels.
That day I wrecked on the
sidewalk. I ran in and told my
mother. She told me to stop
crying. You see I was scared
because a training wheel had
broken.’’ — JANET
BELLFLOWER.
"One Christmas after we
had opened all of our presents,
my brother was looking inside
his stocking. He turned
around and someone snapped
a picture. When the picture
showed up, he was cross-eyed,
and had his mouth like Jimmy
Carter’s — without
corners.”—KßlSl WYATT.
“This was a killing
Christmas. I was up and walk
ing on the wooden floor. I saw
my toys so I took off sliding
down the floor. I passed my
toys and hit the wall and fell
to the floor. I saw I had a train
set so I got every thing in the
middle of it and played. I
would put a cow on the track
and kill it by running over it. I
killed everything and I had a
mess.’-CLARKE HAIR.
“Our tree Top Christmas:
Our angel on top of the tree
was the prettiest I have ever
seen. It is delightful with our
tree ornaments. And on
Christmas I got a stereo, 3
albums, and a
watch.’-MICHAEL CHAS
TAIN.
“One Christmas I heard
something on the roof, and it
sounded like a clitter-clatter.
So I ran to the fireplace, but
no one was there, so I went to
my bed and I heard it again. I
came back to the fireplace and
there I found all my presents
waiting for me.” —REED
CALDWELL.
"My funniest Christmas
was when my cousins and I
were making little stick
houses. We played army with
a stick like gun and sang a lot
of songs. Tne funny part was
when my sister got up that
morning she didn’t know it
was Christmas for over an
hour.”—BRAD JOHNSON.
“My favorite Christmas
was last year. I got out of bed
at 7:00 o’clock and went to
open my presents. I ran in the
den and there was the 10
speed I had wanted. Early
that year I wanted a beenbag
and Santa brought me one.
That was my favorite
Christmas.”—JOE MONEY.

Pour Your Tree
Plenty Os Water
The rules for keeping a
Christmas tree safe are
simple— buy it fresh and keep
it that way as long as possible.
A fresh tree isn't much of a
fire hazard, says Lamar Mer
ck, Georgia Extension Service
forester.
“If you want to enjoy your
Christmas tree longer during
the holiday season, buy it
fresh and keep the base of the
trunk immersed in water. The
water will prevent the needles
from drying and the boughs of
the tree from drooping. The
tree will remain fresh all
through the holiday season
and it won't be a hazard in the
home. A Christmas tree with
moisture in its branches and
needles is no more flammable
than a damp leaf,” Merck ex
plains.
Christmas trees respond
quickly to moisture if the tree
is reasonably fresh to begin
with and then properly
prepared before it is put in the
water-holding stand. Proper
preparation means sawing off
about an inch of the butt of
the tree straight across before
putting the tree in the stand.
The cut removes possible clot
ted resins that could prevent
the tree from absorbing the
water.
Once the tree is securely
mounted in the stand, says
Merck, keep the stand filled
with water by adding to it dai-
ly. A tree may absorb from a
pint to a gallon of water daily,
depending upon its size and
condi toin.
The water helps keep the
tree needles pliable ana the
boughs in their natural shape.
The moisture also helps to
maintain the natural
Christmas tree aroma
throughout the holiday
season.
Merck suggests a few tests
the tree purchaser can make
to check for freshness of the
tree. “Gently stroke the
needles. They shouldn’t drop
off if the tree is fresh. Look on
the ground around the stan
ding tree. If there is an ex
cessive number of green
needles on the ground, it
might be wise to reject the
tree.
“Another test for
freshness is to take the tree
and lift the base about one
foot off the ground. Then firm
ly hit the butt of the trunk on
the ground. Too many green
needles dropping indicate the
tree is not too fresh."
After you have selected
the tree, bring it home and
keep it outdoors until you are
ready to bring it in for
decorating. Keep it in a pail of
water. Warm rooms without
sufficient moisture are tough
on natural, fresh trees and
cause them to dry out un
necessarily, adds Merck.
