One day when Pooh Bear 1)had already visited some of his friends and had nothing else to do, he 2)thought he 3)would go round to Piglet s house 4)to see what Piglet 5)was doing. It 6)had been snowing since early morning. Pooh expected 7)to find Piglet 8)to warm his toes in front of his fire, but to his surprise he 9) saw that the door was open, and the more Piglet was not there. "So what I 11)will do," said Pooh, "is this. I 12)will go home first and see what the time 13) will, and perhaps I 14) will put a scarf round my neck, and then I 15)will go and see Eeyore and sing my new hum to him." Pooh 16)hurried back to his own house. When he 17)opened his door, he suddenly 18) saw Piglet 19) sitting in his best armchair. Pooh could only 20)stand there 21)wondering whose house he 22) was in. "Hallo, Piglet," said Pooh, "I think you 23) are out." "No," said Piglet, "it s you who 24) is out. I 25) have been sitting here for an hour already." Pooh 26) looked up at his clock which 27) stopped at five minutes to eleven some weeks before.
Christmas is the holiday of my soul. It is cold outside, and the sky is gloomy, but the flowers burst into bloom deep in my heart. Christmas is the victory of good over evil. All sins disappear on this day like rats, hiding in the deepest holes. They can’t bare that light, that love which is given to us on the day of Christmas. People go home loaded down with toys and Christmas presents, which will be hidden under the Christmas tree or in the knitted stockings. The tables are set. Christmas goose, potatoes, salads, cakes... There is a delicious smell in every house! People sit down at the tables, and grace is said. Candles flare up on the Christmas tree, and people wish happiness to each other.Christmas is he time to forget all the offenses you had to bear, and to forgive everyonewho hurt you and was unfair to you, who was not kind to you. To forgive and to forget... It is not very easy. But you should try. Just do it. That’s what Christ did. He died on the cross to save us. He forgave our sins. Why shouldn’t we try to forgive? But if you say, “I can forgive, but I cannot forget,” it is only another way of saying, “I will not forgive.” To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you. Every person should have a special cemetery lot in which to bury the faults of friends and loved ones. This is the main meaning of the spirit of Christmas. I wish you to get to know it, and live with this spirit not only at Christmas time, but all during the year. God bless us, everyone!
