Gingerbread or wood? Santa's house is brown
David
"I saw Santa's house and it's white
because that's a Christmas colour,
with red. The house is 15 -feet tall
because it has to be a big house for
all of Santa's visitors."
Orion
"I think Santa's house looks like
gingerbread because Santa lives on
Candy Cane Lane. It's super big to
hold all the presents"
Tyson
"Santa's house is red and gray
because gray is Santa's beard colour
and red is his suit. His house can
really fly. I don't know why, but it
can."

Shades of brown
Whether it's made of wood or gingerbread, the students in Mrs. Jamieson's Grade 1B class at
Maitland River Elementary School seem to think that Santa's house is brown. Back row, from

When it comes to Santa's abode
and workspace, the Grade 1B class
at Maitland River Elementary
School feels that there is a definite
brown theme to the site, however
that could be due to being built of
wood or gingerbread.
"There is gingerbread instead of
wood at Santa's house. The house is
made of candy canes, chocolate
chips on the roof, gum drops over
the window and ice cream and
frozen yogurt on the roof on top of
the chocolate chips"
Micah
"Santa's house is red and sparkly
with clear windows. On the inside
there are tables and tools to make
toys"
Spencer
"I think that Santa's house is
probably red because most of his
clothes are red. It's very big because
he lives there and has a workshop
and needs space for the elves, the
reindeer and Mrs. Claus"
Aubree
"There is a barn at the North Pole
and that's Santa's home. It looks like
a barn because it's made out of
wood. It's brown. He decorates with
all the kinds of decorations he can
find. The Christmas lights are
rainbow -coloured there"
Kaleigh
"Santa's house looks brown
because it is made with wood. The
roof is brown. It's all made of wood
because wood is warm and Santa
lives in a very cold place"
Evelynn
"I think that Santa lives in a small
house because there aren't too many
people there, just Mr. and Mrs.
Claus. It's a brown house made of
wood and the reindeer like wood so
they stay there."
Alivia
"Santa lives in a gingerbread
house because he lives on Candy
Cane Lane. The house is all made of
candy and food because it has to be
on Candy Cane Lane."
Maxim
"I think that Santa's house is
brown because he doesn't have time
to paint it because he spends so
much time flying."
Enna
"There is a lot of snow around
Santa's house, but he lives in a cabin,
so you can see the wood at his house
and it's brown. He puts out
Christmas lights and candy cane
decorations for Christmas."
Ryder
"I think that Santa's house would
look a little bit like my house. My
family's house has the same spaces,
but it's dirty and different because
the elves keep Santa's house clean."
Corrynn
"Santa's house has lots of shelves
that have toys on them on the inside
of the house. On the outside you can
see what he flies and where the
reindeer are. I hope I guessed his
house right so he can give me a
Nintendo Swtch for Christmas."
William
"If I went to Santa's house, I bet it
would be all wooden and sparkly.
It's made of wood because that's the
best thing to make it out of. Metal is
stronger, but Santa wants it made of
wood."
Kyler
"I think Santa's house is white and
red because those are Santa's
colours. It also has Christmas -
coloured lights and the house is
made of bricks because bricks are
strong."
Harper
"Santa's house is brown. It's made
of gingerbread, but it's really, really
big because Santa has to live with
his wife, the elves and the reindeer."
Sadie
"I think Santa's house is gray
because it's a real place. He has a
Christmas tree outside that can hold
more decorations."
Cohen
"Santa's house is red and green
because it's Christmas colours. It has
to be really, really big to fit Santa,
the elves as well and the reindeer."
