a long time and when we had to go to the clinic a lot it was like a substitute mother for him because he had someone to cuddle and units could chat with him a lot because. the owner smits of poppy in the park just 12 weeks old lots of.

the sun and it's still a dream for me he says. to settle down she average it's difficult to fiona need sterile conditions to push to the dog wouldn't just live outside but it would be allowed into the house and we can't do that sad as that is. to say it's too risky we're not brave enough and if you can. in that. decries child i want many friends please tell saint nick i was good today. for christmas i want to see my friend again. because she moved and so did i.

mike's friends were shocked when he told them his christmas wish almost all of them have been to the zoo several times. this year the children also don't understand why mike came to after school care without socks on this cold december day. this almost. there are 4 children and the 5th is on his way mom has a baby on her tummy. good god can i mention i would like to go to munich soon but that's not possible because mom's boyfriend has to work. like he always has to work even at christmas. and. dad is never there. yes they let. the kids.

used to be chairs in the stadium. those are better could stand to be as tall as the adult. box and. so on can see otherwise he says on home says he had split up and got rid of them now i want to know how did i like watching them play in the stadium. not just at home in front of the t.v. fiancee. his mother puts it in the envelope but he's wired that thieves could get it. yet on. football wasn't so important to kilian in the past but his sister emily died of cancer 2 years ago my florida ever really took me for he didn't need football as much back then but now it's football all day long. he used to play with family for hours it was in the

hunt cotton. club oxer mother and son recall the day amalie always wanted to play to. you could be 40 but she wasn't allowed to. she always wanted to play not just at christmas. day christ child died this year she's sitting on a cloud somewhere give her my love we miss her a lot. amylase grave is right next to kill ian's school he often stops by after class with his friends. the last form of the sound and the cheeky boys always

extinguish the candles with the holy water but i can understand that. with him i don't get. it that's our angel. it's the 3rd time the family have celebrated christmas without emilie. killian still chooses a present for emily every year he opens it for her after church on christmas eve last year he bought her an angel it's now lying on her grave. and this year he's going to get her a horse. these. thieves. help was not enough we are the main quest and. you. have an officer stepped up to the. there feridun in real time. the 5th.

year christ child i would love to see you this year can you tell me how jesus is doing in heaven. christ child please make sure my grandparents stay healthy. i want my whole family to stay healthy and never want to lose them. since i am a death angels have played a big role in killian's family. and has a number of children's books about guardian angels.

you don't and. everyone has a guardian angel or maybe i'm a liz guardian angel had different plans for her. to kinda get the children don't belong to us they just a company has for a while. this can be that r.e.i. . that works for the christ child. just filed for. the taliban army on it at all possible to killian's looking for a horse figurine for assistance graham. so many similar to this issue he's found one he likes. you never thought of that.

was what this is what is it he knows much. it's not too big and looks like it would cope with the outdoors they decide to buy it. and that if. we're lucky monument here we don't go to church as much as we used to. we can't understand it why would he do that. just as almost why would the sweetest child have to suffer so much. to see him some and that's why we're angry sometimes so we don't then go to church . again given this sort of rituals are still important to the family of. people who father and son decorate the nativity scene together.

after so. you know it's time to dress up. for the hangover was not today and. the children of the uk want to rehearse a new to the t play in time for christmas. it's a challenge every year for teacher and chip leader the children come from difficult social backgrounds many a migrants and refugees it doesn't matter what cultural background they have they all look forward to christmas. and the angel said to mary you're going to have god's child can come and. they went to jerusalem and then to bethlehem. where they had little do. not feed them enjoy bethlehem's my country interrupts another child. getting so much from.

the hunger struck don't get beaten i think they prayed. the forgiveness but 1st they went to a man may i asked him and he said they had remained the stable and. then the baby was born i want to say that. just. for a fact until now did not yet these children are writing their letter to the christ child to. all schools family fled the congo and came to germany. struggles to concentrate he has many fears. and. the best clearest dear christ child. my name is oscar. he threw a chair i wish that nobody could kill me. down thank you. there

. so i have an enemy. it is not. you know over at night i'm scared he's overawed. he mutters when the robber hops in plus comes on d.q. the wife. there's nobody here and the doors are squeaking. own lawyers doctors are really in. the midst of an e.p. has 7 knives and one pistol. he thinks he's funny cause he is really bad to deflect attention and i can't get him out of my head when it's dark i start thinking i'm in the woods.

dear christ child my dad says even the trees in this village are criminal and the police do nothing but have christmas the balance time and your angels come and sing christmas carols. i'm a bit sad i don't know why i'm scared at night when i run to my mums dads but otherwise all is well. yeah yeah well. my. parents just separated she wants nothing for a self she wants something for her mother. for love nor my youngest. ever sadness the scheme. teacher wants to see what she's written maybe she'd like to read her letter out loud that says no

secret of us and sure enough. but she confirms it's a nice wish her mother would be happy if it came true and so would she. if i said is that after a moment. a 6 pack. i mean from palestine. here there this team is. here christ child i would like to have lots of muslims it's cool if you can protect girls. kind of remind you. my girlfriend said she like me that's where i got the idea. we've been boxing for 2 weeks that trayvon looks media. i want to become a boxer likely to score or a doctor or a construction worker. but to dr humes more rehearsals for the nativity

play who will get to be joe's if you ask my spirit on the teacher reminds the children that the baby's not in mary's tummy right from the start but it was. ok it's all a bit confusing at 1st i mean is playing the innkeeper and gets his lines wrong his wife's pregnant he says they need to concentrate. on since their teacher goes through their lines with them. mind of house let's run the fun topping our china. runner comes to a plot find and then they enjoy listening to some german christmas carols. out.

that night. different and who don't celebrate christmas but here at the our club i play the recorder and i perform with and maybe i'll do a hip hop with an hour for all and a few other boys and this will not be any have to sing then we're allowed to. have to sing a few times then we hold hands this after that we're allowed to take our presence and i pin them i think that's boring and then give myself the how this one and he sang any issue i'm going to get my tree out of the cellar and celebrate christmas

cards. i'll put the candles on the tree and buy a present for my mom then i'm allowed to watch t.v. all day and don't revert to even discuss the bell rings and we all come downstairs and then the curtain opens and there's the christmas tree. on customs and to cap flag the candles are lit on the tree and there's christmas music and then we sing. but don't it is mikey so. as i g s as it's better if you rush in open the presents and eat you can sing afterwards well back our neighbor singing isn't as important as opening presents. 1 dear christ child i want to know why you never come to me i believe in you maybe it's our dress.

in the after school care and even faden it's not just the gingerbread men who've got difference in colors the children come from lots of different countries and continents. is turkish. just. so. can hear cries child i would like you to visit me. match. that i'm muslim so the christ child doesn't come to my house this can. jam me if. i would love to see how christmas is celebrated. by the gifts i. visit again the pet

as fire when he makes a fire the fires goes and the smoke coming out of the chimney is so over just i just don't believe in him. like i would have that my mother always stays home when we go for christmas will and i we get to chat and dad stays home to our middle east with c.m.'s family and i always spied through the keyhole when you were arranging the presents. he asked. me are. you've never told me that before. that i got a little slow with. your christ child i want to talk about you i think the romans were very cruel to you. i'm especially story about the nails he said in have said you're the son of god they didn't like that.

than is that suspicious and i really got some and you again ita i think the easter bunny lives far away. to house initialisation version fears. image that is also far away from land our and some wishes can't wait. like we're cooking a lovely steak today because you asked for that. but that's nothing else liza and junia still haven't defeated their leukemia entirely that's why the christ child is making their wish come true before christmas a cooking course in a proper children's cooking school. and. chance to catch up for the club that. i like my. they're getting everything you really and liza weren't allowed to eat for a long time.
