The tidings on this page were sent by Tresi Smyth and Andrea Swanson from Pines and Birches Classrooms at Prairie Creek Community School in Northfield, MN.


May God bless all creatures on the earth.
May God give us food for the winter.
May God make the hungry have hope.
May God make Christmas jolly.

M. L., Age 10


May the world spin peacefully.
May we all live peacefully each and every one of us no matter who we are.
May the weak become strong and the poor become rich.
May all violence turn into peace.
May the world rejoice with happiness.

A. B., Age 10


Snow Blanket

Let the world be filled with snow.
Let the ground shimmer with crystals of white wonder.
Let the trees sleep in harmony under their soft blanket.
Let the Christmas joy surround the world's peace.
Let the world be filled with snow.

J. C., Age 11


May you always be strong
May you always be faithful
May you always be peaceful
May you always have love and care from others
May you always be blessed
May you always be happy

S. R., Age 10


A Blessing . . . .

May you always be courageous
May you always be truthful
May you always be loved
May the chips fall in your favor
May you always get home safely through the snow, and
May you live a long and joyful life.

A. L.-H., Age 10


Christmas Time

Church bells ring swiftly in the wind and Christmas time begins
Let the presents be opened and joy and laughter flow through the air

Christmas trees are up with flickering lights twinkling in people's eyes

J. M., Age 10


Bless the hare, the snowshoe hare.
Bless the ears that reach above to hear the joy of merry carolers.
Bless their feet, which help it escape to unwrap presents on Christmas Day.
Bless its nose, its quivering nose, to help it sniff out that Christmas feast.
Bless the hare.

D. E., Age 11


May the best of cheer be with you and yours through the bleakest of winters.
May the snowy winds never chill your bones.
May warmth and glow lace your lives forever,
and let the beauty of the winter ice caress your eyes.

C. B., Age 9


Guidance

To mothers and fathers who brought you to life
Their kindness and strength helped you to grow
They respected you as who you are
They guided you through your life
They taught you to believe in yourself, to believe in what you think is right
They will always love you

K. E., Age 9


Anywhere

I live in the sky
On stars on the moon

I live on land
In fields in shacks

I live anywhere and everywhere
In your heart.


N. M., Age 8


A Blessing

May we walk in delicate footsteps through a world of peace.
The footsteps we walk in will always be followed by others because we are leaders.
Our delicate footsteps will surround the world with peace and love and then joy will come.

C. M., Age 10


Blessing

Heaven spare the ocean
Angels spare the sea
Mother earth save the creatures
Father sky save me
May God keep the universe.

S. B., Age 9


What Should Fill the World

Let the world be filled with love
Let the world be filled with snow
If it is not , let it be filled with man-made snow
Let the world be filled with Christmas lights

Let the world be filled with joy.

G. E., Age 9


Blessing to Birds

Keep our birds flying high
May they be as free as the air around them
All sparrows, all hawks, all winged ones, fly high to the heavens above.

All Creatures

Bless all the earth's creatures from a small maggot to the giant blue
whale. May we all live in a world of peace and compassion.

D. H., Age 10
