Decorating, and putting on the final touches, made the Christmas tree a glorious sight to see.

A Dixieland Christmas Christmas Means Giving By: Charissa Smith Christmas to me means takin time to stop andglook at what the bringing of baby Iesus into the world did for us. We can share what little we have with one another and not be so self- centered in what we are given Monique Ketchum l12l. nn-L. When people were asked what Christmas meant to them, what was the first thing that came to most minds . . . Christmas means more to me now than it used to. I guess I notice more at Christmas than any other time now that I am getting older, growing up and leaving things behind. Christmas used to mean toys, parties, and food.

Now, Christmas means a time to help others, a time to grow closer to my family and God, and a time to think about growing up, said Jeff Utzinger. It was a Christmas to remember . , . a time of giving and caring, and a time for peace, and joy. For the needy, Christmas was a time of thanks and happiness. Not only were there people in distant places who needed help, but there were also people in the community who were commonly overlooked. Richland classes, clubs and organ- izations took part in the sharing of food, clothes, and furniture for peo- ple who were less fortunate. Students gave to families to make their Christ- mas as special as Dixieland's Christ- mas. an Designed by Tonya Davis The Rebel Choir under the direction of Miss Patricia Neighbors Ifacultyl sang Christ- mas carols that rang throughout the foyer.
