Merry Christmas!
E ach year, we ask several classes from elementary schools in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to draw or colour a picture of what
Christmas or the holiday season means to them. This year, classes from Alexander Robinson, Fairview and Pitt Meadows
elementary schools obliged. The above was created by Grace Smith, age 8, from Mrs. Hickey’s class at ARE. You can see more of
their art on our inside pages, beginning on page 7. You can also view all their contributions in a slideshow at www.mapleridgenews.com.

Gift of gratitude
T
he greatest gift is a smile of gratitude
born from another’s act of selflessness.
As we enter Day 358 of 2010, can you
say with honesty you have given such a gift
this year?
Christmas is regarded as the season of giving
– and it should serve to be much more than won-
dering whether to get dad another tie this year.
It should be much more than a chore of con-
sumerism.
Along with lavishing our loved ones with
wrapped presents – and there is nothing wrong
with lighting up the eyes of our children on
Christmas morning – we should be cognizant of
the need all around us.
When you walked into that store the other day,
did you hear the Salvation Army bell?
And did you dig into your pocket for some
spare change?
When you took your food to the checkout coun-
ter, did you donate to the cause mentioned by
the cashier?
When it snowed some more this past weekend,
did you take some time to shovel your elderly
neighbour’s driveway?
There are seven days left in the year.

Can you spare an hour or two among the 168
left to visit a lonely senior?
To stop and say hello to that homeless person
on the corner?
To help a child learn to read?
To volunteer at a shelter or at the food bank?
George Strait sings that “life’s not the breaths
you take, but the moments that take your breath
away.”
