THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2011.Gr. 1 Hullett students think Santa lives in candy houseStudents in Mrs. Thompson’sGrade 1 class at Hullett CentralPublic School had some unique andsome classical ideas when TheCitizenasked them what they
thought Santa Claus’ house looked
like.
“It’s brown and made of
gingerbread and has candy stuff all
over it. The bricks are made of
gingerbread and the beams are
candy canes and it’s really big and
the roof has candies on it to mark
where the sled can park.”
Alexis
“It looks like a normal, big house
with a Christmas tree outside. There
are lots of candy canes on it and
there are two floors as well as a
garage with skis and ropes all over
the place. Inside, I’m sitting and
watching TV with him.”
Bradly
“The house looks very Christmas-
y and is really decorated for
Christmas. It’s a small house with
the sled parked outside. There’s a
wreath on the door, and a snowman
in the yard. The reindeer stay outside
with the sled because Santa feeds
them and pets them.”
Brady
“I think Santa’s house would be a
medium-sized one and it would have
candies all over it and be made out
of candy canes and chocolate. He
would keep his magical sled in the
magical shed, since both sparkles
and the house only has four rooms: a
bathroom, a kitchen, a bedroom and
a living room.”
Darcie
“At Santa’s house there’s a lot of
snow and presents and elves and
there’s a big flag like a pirate flag
except it says Santa on it. The house
is made of bricks and Rudolph sits
on top of it because he’s easy to see.
It’s a big building that doesn’t look
like a house because it has 25 green
elves there. It’s kind of like a
museum, they work there and there’s
a kind of workshop and Santa has a
fluffy suit.”
Faith-Lynn
“Santa and all the elves live in
their own igloo made out of normal
snow. He might have some
decorations and there’s a factory
besides the igloo. The magic helps
him run the factory and not melt all
the igloos at the same time. It’s a
really nice place.”
Garret
“Santa’s house has candy canes on
the side and a reindeer fence where
they play beside the garage where
the sled stays. It’s a big house
because the reindeer need to sleep in
it and because there needs to
be enough room for the elves, like
seven or eight of them. There is a
lot of snow and ice on the house
and Santa makes the elves work
outside.”
Hailey
“Santa lives in a big gingerbread
house with lollipops, icing, ice
cream, marshmallows and rainbow-
coloured chocolates all around. It’s
200 feet tall and the reindeer stay in
the shed. It’s made out of wood and
snow. The house isn’t made of wood
because there aren’t any trees at
the North Pole and they used all
the wood making the shed so the
reindeer wouldn’t eat the
walls. Santa has crazy hair and he
also has a hot tub filled with hot
chocolate and a pool filled with
milkshakes.”
Hunter
“Santa’s house looks like an iglooand it looks pretty small, but it has a huge basement where all theelves work and the reindeers stay. It’s like a spy base. They
also have a red and white
North Pole that magically
unlocks the door.”Ian“At Santa’s house, you can see allthe elves helping to build stuff. His
house is a whole city with lots of
buildings to keep toys and it looks
like a dump with all the toys andstuff all over it. There are tons and tons of toys all over the place.The only clean place is a big roomfor the sled and the reindeer but the
rest of it looks like a city with toys
instead of garbage.” Kevin
“Santa lives in an igloo, but it’s abigger igloo, like the size of ourschool. The reindeer and the sled stay outside because there is
lots of snow for them to play in. The
elves stay and work in the big igloo
Students in Grade 1 at Hullett Central Public School had
some wild ideas when it came to what Santa Claus’ house
must look like. Whether they thought it was built of candy,
bricks or sheltered like a hardened military bunker, they
each had a different thought as to how the heavyset
man in the red suit must live and were more than
happy to share it with The Citizen.Shown are, back row,
