Kids TALK BACK

The Daily Pilot visited Andersen Elementary School in Newport Beach to

ask fourth-graders from Mr. Qualey’s class, “What does the holiday season

mean to you?”

‘It means thanks for what you get. It’s not all about presents and

getting. It’s mostly for giving.’

‘It should be peaceful and goodwill to the nation, to make the poor

happy.’

‘Family time together and being loved. It’s not just getting presents,

but having someone that loves you and is kind, and to be loving to

someone else.’

‘A special time to spend with family and a good time to share stuff

like gifts.’
