Spaghetti, cookies, roast beef make Santa’s menu
The students in Mrs. Binotto-
Peel’s Grade 1C Class at Maitland
River Elementary School had a lot of
traditional and not-so-traditional
ideas when The Citizen asked them
what they thought a traditional
Christmas Eve meal in the Claus
house would look like.
“Santa would wear his red hat with
a pom-pom on it to dinner and eat
spaghetti. I know that because I saw
a spaghetti piece he left on my table
from his beard once. Then he would
have cookies and drink milk.”
Cierra C.
“Santa eats chicken, corn and
potatoes. He has to eat healthy and
eat that kind of stuff so he can be
strong and deliver presents.”
Ashlyn H.
“He eats cookies for dinner
because he needs to get ready to eat
cookies all night long. I don’t know
why he likes cookies so much, just
because I guess.”
Denise M.
“Santa and Mrs. Claus eat
snowflakes because they live in the
snow in a little cabin and there are a
lot of snowflakes there. Santa just
eats and eats and gets ready to eat
lots of cookies.”
Jasmine D.
“Santa can’t eat crunchy stuff. He
has to eat things like potatoes and
corn and soft stuff because he has a
wiggly tooth.”
Isla d.
“I think that Mrs. Claus would
make spaghetti because it’s good.
Santa would like it because he can
put parmesan cheese on it and that’s
what makes spaghetti good.”
Broghan D.
“Santa gets ready on Christmas
Eve by having a lot of pies. He eats
pumpkin, cherry and candy cane
pies so that he has enough energy to
guide his reindeers through the
Christmas snow and give out gifts.”
Nellee F.
“Mrs. Claus makes chicken and
French fries for Christmas Eve. I
don’t know why Santa likes them, I
just know that he likes to eat chicken
and French fries.”
Mia H.
“Santa eats Christmas cookies and
milk for dinner on Christmas Eve.
He really likes those things because
I know that he drank all the milk and
ate all the cookies that I had at my
house last year.”
Ava S.
“Santa eats milk and cookies for
dinner and he also likes sub
sandwiches. The elves make them
for him. He likes to eat a foot-long
sub with cheese.”
Miles M.
“Santa likes roast beef first
because I think he likes what I like
and that’s what we usually have for
dinner at home. Then he doesn’t
have dessert because everyone puts
cookies out for him when he gives us
presents.”
Sarah H.
“Santa likes milk and cookies for
dessert. That’s why people leave
them out for him all the time. But he
has to eat something else so I think
he likes bologna sub sandwiches. I
don’t know why, he just does.”
Connor M.
“I think that Mrs. Claus would
make red meatballs for Santa Claus
because he likes red. But meatballs
aren’t enough so he puts soya sauce
on the meatballs. I like soya sauce.”
Hayden J.
“Mrs. Claus has to make turkey for
Christmas Eve dinner. She makes
lots of turkey and berry-red ice pops
because he likes the colour red. He
likes ice pops because I like ice
pops.”
Madison L.
“Santa eats cookies. He has to eat
a lot of cookies to get ready for all
the other cookies that kids give him
around the world. He likes chocolate
chip cookies and white milk. Then
he likes to drink hot chocolate
because it keeps him warm and
tastes good with cookies.”
Tyler M.
“Santa would have to eat fruit for
supper so he could be healthy. He
would eat fruits like broccoli and
grapes. He would have chocolate
chip cookies for dessert because
he always has cookies for
dessert.”
Adler S.
“Mrs. Claus is going to make beef
pie for Santa Claus for his Christmas
Eve dinner. He needs something
good like beef pie. He likes it so he
won’t go hungry while he goes
sleighing. He has cookies for dessert
from other people’s houses so Mrs.
Claus doesn’t have to worry about
that.”
James S.
“Santa Claus would have a ham
sandwich for dinner on Christmas
Eve because I like ham sandwiches.
There would be lettuce, cheese, ham
and other stuff and really good, soft
bread.”
Morgan S.
“Santa likes cookies so I think he
would eat cookies for supper. He
would eat normal cookies, just like
chocolate chip cookies.”
Landon V.
“I think that Santa would ask Mrs.
Claus to make him a meat sandwich,
like a liverwurst sandwhich, because
he has a lot of houses to visit and he
needs to keep his energy up. Then he
is going to drink milk. I’ve given
him milk so I know he likes it.”
Maddie P.
“Santa would like fried chicken
drumsticks, pizza with ginger ale
and cake for dessert, as well as
cookies and donuts.”

Not exactly a turkey feast
Mrs. Binotto-Peel’s Grade 1C class had some fairly unique ideas when it came time to tell The
Citizen what they thought Santa and Mrs. Claus had for dinner on Christmas Eve before the
magical gift-delivering man took to his sleigh. (Denny Scott photo)
