And I also get clothes I like the clothes I just don’t like trying the clothes on because it’s waisting so much TIME! And I don’t care about trying the clothes on. And I don’t care if it’s to big or to small all I care about is it I like it and if I don’t then take it back to the store that you got it from.

Onther thing I like about Christmas is that I get to

gether with my family because I get to go to one grandma’s house for lunch. And I get to go to my other grandma’s house for dinner and I get ot see my cousens at my grandma’s house and we are at my grandma’s house for a couple hours. And all the kids get to the presents first. When we are all done the grownups open the presents and there presents are relly boring because all they get is boring stuf. While they open there presents the kids get to play with there presents if there parents let them open something they got. Sometimes my parents let me open one of my presents but not all the time. Only somtimes they let me open one of my presents but not all the time.

What Christmas Means To Me by: Lomira Elementary School 2nd Grade Students means being with my family and giving gifts to my family. Family is spending time with people you love. Spending time with your family is really special. When you wake up on Christmas Day, the first thing is wanting to know what you got from Santa and your family. Most kids are really focusing on what they got from Santa and their own family members, but I focus on my family. I love my family. - Collette Brookins

In addition to singing, Lomira Elementary students acted out short skits during their Christmas concert on December 7, including Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. (Zach Cook | Dodge County Pionier)

Christmas is snow. To start, snow is fun to play with. You can build a snowman and a snow fort. Another thing you can do is throw snowballs. The best reason is to play with your BFF. Snow makes me excited! - Alexza Bosley

Christmas is not about gifts. It is about sharing and love. It fills you with love because you see

family. Love is like joy when we give gifts.

Christmas is a delightful thing to me. Christmas is a fun season. Love is what Christmas means to me. - Amara Keiler

To me Christmas means we get presents.

But not all people get presents. If they are bad, they get coal. If you be good you will get presents. I love Santa. Aryanna Rekowski

To me Christmas is love and family and presents. Most important Christmas is about love. My family loves me because they give me presents. Also people that have elves at their house, they come back I think. I love my family. - Cain Schibline To

Happy Holidays

Christmas

To me Christmas means time of peace, friendship, love and the most Christmas means to me is being together with family and friends.

To love your family is the most important thing of all. It’s a time to celebrate with your family and friends. It’s a time to be thankful for what you get from Santa and for what you already have.

It’s also a time to enjoy the best time of the year with your family. - Collin Wonders

full of love. Christmas is love and fun. Love is a piece of joy. - Hailee Frank

To me Christmas means all about my family. First I think that because my family is so nice. I also think my family is soooo much fine because they are my family. I may be going to my cousins’ house for Christmas. - Harmony Peters Christmas is a holiday to be with your family.

Family is the first thing that Christmas is about.

Family is love to me because they are with me all the time. Second my family does anything they can do for me.

Christmas is not just for family but for everyone.Isabel Westphal

Christmas is special because I get to see my friend in Florida. On Christmas I get to sleep in my mom’s bed and the living room before

Christmas means being together to me.

Most important about being together is fun be-

cause you can play with other people. Another reason is being together and giving gifts. I also think it’s fun being together playing in the snow. And to my family it is being together and talking about Jesus. Nathan Leiter

Christmas means happiness and fun to me. Happiness to me is giving gifts and giving hugs. Another thing is having fun with family and they hang out with you at home. They love you so much.- Randon Retzlaff

Happiness is what Christmas means to me.

One reason I think this is because I’m happy when it’s Christmas and I feel happy. Another reason is because other kids are happy. Another thing is that you are happy when you get presents. Also you are happy because your family is with you. - Sydney Pribnow

Mrs.

Christmas is a special holiday. Christmas is the day that Jesus was born. We should think of Jesus. It is also the day that Santa comes and your elf leaves.

Christmas is a special thing because we are with our family. One reason I think this is because my family loves me and takes care of me. Another reason is that I get to spend time with my family. Another reason is that we get to see everybody. Christmas is for everybody.Dawson Casper

What Christmas Means To Me Kayla Adamson’s Class

Christmas is special to my family. Santa comes and delivers presents to good people that are thankful to others, like moms, dads, and kids, too. We go to my grandma’s house to celebrate Christmas. Mason Schelvan

What Christmas means to me is when we decorate the tree. Decorating the tree is special to me. When I first put an ornament on the tree this year, I felt good inside. We put more ornaments on the Christmas tree. I love putting ornaments on the Christmas tree. - Natalli Moede

What Christmas means to me is snowball fights. Me and my Dad build a fort and throw snowballs. I win. When I get inside, I drink hot cocoa. Then, I go to bed. Do you have a snowball fight? - Noah King

Christmas means family, Jesus, gingerbread houses, and love.

I think of Jesus on Christmas because it is the day Mary gave birth to Jesus. I think of family because we get together to open presents and eat dinner together.

I also think of gingerbread houses because I decorate them with my family. - Evelyn Mendez I love going outside because you can have a snowball fight, shovel snow, or ride a snowmobile. A snowmobile is really, really fun, and it goes really, really, really fast. Have a merry Christmas! - Michael Koth

by: Lomira Elementary School 2nd Grade Students

Shoveling snow makes me feel happy because when we shovel the snow we throw it at each other.

We get snow in our faces. We eat it. It is great, and we laugh. To me snowball fights make me happy because me and my brother make forts. One of us goes on one side of the yard.

The other goes on the other side of the yard.

Then we fight. I duck.

So does my brother.

Then we stand up. We throw the snowballs. My brother gets hit in the face. Then I get hit in the face. We laugh and then we go inside. - Kennedy Goebel To me, Christmas is about family because I go to nana and papa’s house to have breakfast.

We eat mashed potatoes, turkey, green beans, and corn. We eat it with them. Then, we wait for people who are still eating. Then, we open our presents. Lacey Zielinski

What Christmas means to me is giving presents to my family. I like spending time with my family. I love finding my elf on the shelf, too. I am thankful for my presents. Are you? - Adalyn Chitwood

Christmas means snowmobiling to me.

Me and my brother race around the house and we make a jump and turns and zip-zags. And I can’t forget this part because it is the best part…we jump hills and fences. This is what Christmas means to me.

What do you think of Christmas? - Landon Kindler

To me, Christmas is about an elf and snow.

Papa bought the elf a long time ago. The elf is funny and a troublemaker. He sleeps in the Kleenex box. It is fun to play in the snow. Dad also pulls me on the sled with the snowmobile. Carter Everard-Zurn

What I think of at Christmas time is being thankful and kind. At my house, we give presents and we always have a really good feast. We decorate, too. My house is really pretty after we decorate. There is always an ice skating rink made by my daddy. After we skate, my mom always has hot chocolate and cookies ready. Another thing I think of when it is Christmas is my elf. I’ve never seen him fly, but he always hides. At night, he always goes to the North Pole to tell Santa if we’ve been good or not.

- Norah Langjahr What Christmas means to me is to go sledding and to be kind.

Are you thankful? I like being with my family very much and to give presents. Do you? I like finding my elf with my family, and I like to play with my friends on Christmas Eve - Alanna Lau

Christmas means to me family. Because family means more to me than presents! Christmas means to me love and peace because it’s not about toys. Christmas means to me giving. Because it’s not all about presents and candy and decorating. Olivia Valle

Christmas means to me and my family to find our elf princess. I love to get up and find her every morning. Me and my brother do what we have to do in the morning.

Then, we go to our Mom and Dad’s room and tell them where she is and if she is being naughty.

Sometimes she gets a black marker and draws whatever she wants. I love to read her notes that she gives me. I made a cool note holder for the notes. I hope she still gives me some more notes. My elf loves to be naughty. Do you have

Christmas means love and peace to me. It is great to spend time with my family. I wear matching pajamas with my sister and open presents with my family. I go to a party. I play games and play with my family. We play Twister and Guess Who. Christmas is great! I love Christmas.

I hope you do, too.

Merry Christmas! - Tori Haefs

an elf? - Mackenzie Zepka

To me Christmas means watching movies. I like to watch Frosty the Snowman.

Days when school is off are great because I get to go outside to play and have a snowball fight.

Decorating a Christmas tree is fun to see how pretty it is. I get to decorate the gingerbread house. I get to eat the house. I get to go sledding on a hill because it’s fun when I go fast down the hill. I like shoveling snow because I get the snow in a big pile and make a lot of snowballs. When my brother comes out, I throw the snowballs at him.

Camden Schromen To me Christmas means having fun with my family and having parties with my family. I love having to do Mom’s work for her. I love family. I also love to snow-

ball fight, and I eat snow.

I get to build a gingerbread house and eat it. I feel excited for Christmas. - Airenna Haynes

What Christmas means to me is having a snowball fight. Me and Dawson go on opposite sides of the lawn. I make a big fort. Dawson makes a small fort. I throw a snowball at him, and he throws one at me. Then, I throw it at him again. I win the snowball fight. - Tanner Schneider

To me, Christmas means having a snowball fight. But we have to follow some steps.

First, you make a fort.

Second, you make a lot of snowballs. Third, we get to our bases and say, “Ready, set, go!”

Then, you throw a lot of balls. If you destroy their base, you win. So that is what Christmas means to me. - Alex Almeda-Potter
