HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2015-12-24, Page 34North Woods Elementary School’s Grade 1A class had some unique ideas when The Citizen asked what they felt Santa Claus would have for his Christmas dinner. “Santa Claus has bread and milk for dinner because he doesn’t have time to eat a big meal. He has just enough time to sit down and eat his bread and drink his milk but he does it very quick. That’s okay, though, because he eats a lot of cookies.” Vanessa Albrecht “My family hunts deer and I bet he does too so I think he has deer. He doesn’t hunt though, he has his elves help him and hunt for him. We load ours up and go to the butcher and he sends some of ours to Santa. We hunt deer for Santa. He likes jerky.” Jeffrey Bauer “I think he has chicken because it’s probably his favourite. I like the skin on the chicken and I think he does too. He also has corn with his chicken but he has magic corn that is very juicy, but not messy and dry.” Madison Bragan “I think Santa has chicken because you can eat chicken forever because of all the different kinds of chicken. You can have chicken burgers and chicken fingers and chicken nuggets and chicken salad and chicken and vegetables and all kinds of chicken. On Christmas Santa has chicken noodle soup and chicken legs.” Damian Detzler-Ashley “I think Santa would have turkey because that’s the kind of supper you’re supposed to have on Christmas. He would have fruit salad and stuffing with his turkey because you’re supposed to have that too.” Liam Fischer “I think Santa Claus would have turkey, peas and potatoes for dinner. I think that’s the food he eats. He likes mashed potatoes and he has it with butter and gravy because it tastes better that way.” Rowan Gaspire “I think Santa and Mrs. Claus would feed their reindeer apples, but not themselves. They would eat carrots, cucumbers, grapes and oranges because they are healthy and good for you and Santa needs to have what’s good for you.” Maddy Hickling “I think he eats chocolate chip cookies at Christmas. He eats 20 cookies. He just eats them because he likes them.” Payton Illman “I don’t know what Santa eats. No one can see him because he hides at the North Pole. That’s a silly question.” Lexus Jenken “I think Santa has turkey because he likes turkey because turkey is his favourite food. He doesn’t have potatoes or anything else, he just has turkey with gravy on it.” Seth Kerr “I think Santa has cookies and milk because every night we put that out so we can be good and he can give us presents. That’s how he eats all year, he takes the cookies from good kids and stores them and eats them and then leaves presents for the good kids.” Reagan Laidlaw “I think Santa Claus eats a skateboard for Christmas dinner. He rides it and then eats it. It’s a special skateboard and the wheels are made of chocolate chip cookies and the rest is made of gingerbread. He also has milk with his skateboard.” Maxx Logan “I believe Santa Claus has apple soup because he likes apple soup. It’s made of real apples. I haven’t had it before, but I think it tastes yucky because there are apples in it. I like apples, but apple soup would be yucky.” Abi McNaught “I bet Santa likes turkey for dinner. On Christmas it helps him get his energy back from going to all the houses and giving out all the presents.” Owen Mulvey “Turkey is what Santa eats and he does that because it’s Christmas. He has chicken too. He eats the whole chicken for dinner and a whole turkey and then he has beef and stir- fry, bone soup, chicken noodle soup and milk to drink.” Triston Piper “Santa likes chocolate ice cream because it tastes so good. It’s the best kind of ice cream and he eats for everything, not just dessert and not just Christmas.” Seder Ryan “I think Santa likes turkey because it’s a Christmas thing. He likes stuffing too. He has mashed potatoes and gravy and a bun and butter and everything people eat for Christmas.” Hannah Silcock “Santa has cookies and milk. He really likes cookies and milk. He has chocolate chip cookies and regular milk. He doesn’t like chocolate milk with his cookies.” Olivia Van Beek “Santa eats turkey, chicken and potato chips for dinner, water for a drink and has strawberries for dessert.” Addison Bootsman PAGE 34. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 2015. Dutch treats for Kroeses Amateur chefs design dinner for Santa Continued from page 32 secret, but also make sure that people know what kind of things their gift recipients are looking for. The site allows users to not only set up their Secret Santa, but also allows those involved to create gift lists so that it takes some of the guess work out of finding the right gift. “It’s helped out a lot, that’s for sure,” Kroes said, noting the only downside was that everyone had to sign up before the program could be used, so sometimes it runs later than some people would like. After the gifts are handed out and the games are done, the family enjoys some traditional snacks including eggnog and oliebollen, a traditional Dutch doughnut or dumpling that Kroes said the family enjoys. The family also enjoys some time with extended family as part of Christmas, Kroes explained, visiting her paternal relatives on Christmas Eve and having lunch with her maternal relatives on Christmas Day. Quite the dinner The Grade 1 class at North Woods Elementary School had some crazy ideas in answering the question “What does Santa Claus eat for his Christmas dinner?” Back row, from left: Jeffery Bauer, Maddy Hickling, Payton Illman, Reagan Laidlaw, Lexus Jenken, Vanessa Albrecht, Triston Piper and Abi McNaught.
