THE COASTLAND TIMES
Wanchese Christian Academy Fifth grade The true meaning of Christmas is Jesus’s birth. On Dec 25th 3 wise shepards arrived at the manger where baby Jesus was. Angels had told the sheperds to follow the star, and that’s what they did. They brought 3 gifts God, frankinsense and myrrh. Jesus’ birth was a beautiful thing!! –Meri-Grace The true meaning of Christmas isn’t about presents or santa or even the Christmas tree, but something way better. Christmas is about Jesus! When Christ was born God brought forth a star! The star is what guided the shepeards and wisiman to Jesus. Alough the wisemans got thier when he was two, they still comitted to seeing Jesus. Like we should committ to giving God our life. –Kennedy The Maker He made the mountains so high in the sky and the grassy fields where bees lay. We celebrate every year for praise, on Christmas days, where angels sing and people pray. – Isla Cordeiro

Dear Santa, I kow you’ve been busy making toys for us kids and thought you might have wanted to have a break after we are jumping for you and i think you would love Ocracoke! I think you should go to Springers Point. it’s a long nature walk but it’s worth it because of the outstanding view of the Ocracoke sunset in the evening. i bet your raindeer would love a good rest in the soft sand. i think you should also go to “ride the wind surf shop” you can get some clothes for the beach like t-shirts, bathing suit and swim trunks. i know you are a Part of history so i thought you might want to visit the Ocracoke lighthouse and the historical house. Ashby
Watching your favorite player is just as cool as watching the game, but the most exiting things are, the touchdowns, a guy sacking the quarter back so hard, the fumble and fumble recoveries. and the suprising kick return touchdowns, you never know what happens! Being famous is good enough but being on the jumbotron pushes you out more or you want to have fun in ways like hearing the shout song and Mr. Brightside, the fan cam and its random filters! Traveling is not that hard for you but something that is hard is watching the Bills lose, hope you have a wonderful trip, and always Go Bills.
