Christmas on the Farm
My 8 year old granddaughter Amelia always loved to visit Lester's Farm on Brookfield Road to feed the animals, and of course to buy ice cream. When she was 3 1/2 years old it was her poppy's and my turn to spend Christmas with her family. The house was nicely decorated for Christmas and her mom had a nativity scene on the hearth. Amelia and I sat by the fireplace and I began to tell her the real meaning of Christmas. I picked up each piece of the nativity scene and explained to her the meaning of each piece. When I picked up the baby Jesus, I told her that he was born in a manager where the animals were. She quickly replied, "Yes, up on Lester's Farm." Edna Way Gander, NL
