Christmas Christmas is a time when people sit by the fire. It's a time when people sing songs and admire, the beautiful voices in the choir. Christmas is a time when families sit at the table all in a row. And all the children look out the window. They look outside for any glimpse of red; and 8 tiny reindeer attached to a sled. If they see him, they hurry to their beds; and all of them rest their little heads. Christmas is when everyone decorates a tree. When the tree is done, everybody is filled with holiday glee. Christmas is when stockings are hung in a line; including the little one which makes all nine. Christmas is a time when you hang up mistletoe; and go outside to play in the snow. But most of all, Christmas means to be with your family and everyone you love; (and all of the above). By Halie Ferguson, age 12, Choctaw, Oklahoma--2001
