The winners of Malibu’s 2009 “Keep Christ in Christmas” art and essay contest were recently announced. The theme of the contest was “Keeping Christ in Christmas Through Family Traditions,” and participants included students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade at Our Lady of Malibu and Malibu United Methodist Church. The works of first place winners are on display at the Malibu Library until Jan. 4. The awards ceremony for all winners will take place Jan. 6 at Our Lady of Malibu at 6:30 p.m., followed by a reception in the adjacent meeting room.
