Homemade for Christmas
By: Amanda McClain
Gifts are a big part of Christmas to many, but how
does a store-bought gift compare to a homemade
one? Homemade gifts are easy and simple to do. If
someone were to open a homemade gift, they
would know that you took the time to think of what
they really like or something that would make them
smile. The giver was creative and really thought out
the gift. If someone were to open a store-bought gift
they would know that you might lack creativity; it
might seem that they just took the easy route.
Some people may have a hard time thinking of
homemade gifts, but now you can go on an app
called “Pinterest.” This app gives you many ideas on homemade gifts and step to step on their way to do it,
but you can change it and do it yourself. Store bought gifts are not wrong in anyway but try expressing your
creativity by making a homemade gift this year!

VETERAN’S DAY
By: RaNay Casper
Veterans Day came to be on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918- which is when fighting
between the Allied nations and Germany ceased seven months prior to the signing of the Treaty of
Versailles. As such, November 11, 1918 is generally regarded as the end of the “war to end all wars.”
Litchfield Public School hosted a Veteran’s Day program on Friday, November 11th at 10:20 am in the
Litchfield Spartan Gymnasium. They sang songs and watched videos about Veteran’s Day. Lunch was
provided and military veterans and their families were invited. Students were honored and proud to have the
Veteran’s Day program.
