Dear Santa
On Christmas day I see all the
presents. Some are big and some
are small. I hope to get a suit for
skating and some piano books so
I can practice when I move.
Christmas is a happy day
because instead of just eating
special things you can eat
anything.
Your friend,

UNEXPECTED ADVENTURE
By CYNTHIA GUNN
Grade 7 - Exeter P.S.
As the aliens circled the
earth, they found that this
planet was still in a sleepy daze
of expectation, the morrow
being Christmas Day. Suddenly,
an eerie sound of jingling metal
filled the air around them! A
grotesque looking creature clad
in an unusual combination of
red and white, plus eight
four-legged tawny coloured
beasts swerved and glided past
the bewildered Plutanians.
Noting the psychedelic colours
of queer-shaped objects in an
ancient brown sack, one of the
strangers pressed a control that
splurted the spaceship forward
to follow the oddity. Minutes
later, they watched the creature
disappear up and down
fire-breathing monsters, each
time coining out with his pack
lightened a little. As they
became even more curious, they
decided to venture down one of
the monsters to explore.
A great surprise awaited them
when upon arrival they found
footwear hanging by the fiery
dragon's mouth. A little boy
toddled up to one of the
foreigners and gave him a
friendly squeeze. "Oh look what
Santa brought me — a real live
spaceman." As the Plutanians
exchanged glances, they made a
hasty exit by teleportation to
their own uncomplicated world.
FANTASTIC CHRISTMAS TREE
By BRADLEY CANN,
RICKY SKINNER
and TOR McLENNAN
Grade 4 Usborne Central
Once there was a tree out in the
woods. It was two weeks before
Christmas and he saw all the
other big trees going to a tree
shop. And before he knew it he
was very, very lonley. One day a
bird came and made a nest in
one of his branches. One day a
rabbit came and jumped over it
because it was so small. Then all
the animals laughed at the little
tree. One day the little rabbit
tried it again but guess what
happened the rabbit hit the little
tree. The bird tried it and hit the
top of the tree because it was so
tall. One day a man came and
cut it down. He had to cut it in
five pieces, as each piece made a
good Christmas tree. He sold
them to five men. Each man
gave him ten dolfars. One man'
had ten kids and they decorated
the tree and he couldn't even see
the tree. It was Christmas day
and there was alot of prensents
underneth it. After Christmas
eve the people took the tree
down to the teller. One day a
gaint came down from the
clouds. He took many jewels
from the family. And then he
went back to the clouds. One
night the tree grew up to the
clouds. The next day the
children went down to the cellar
to find a light bulb. They seen
the tree it was so tall they began
to climb it. It reached the sky.
The boy climbed to the clouds.
He saw a castle. He went into
the castle. He found the jewels
that took. He took them home
to his mother and they lived
happly ever after. The gaint died
with hunger.
THE CHR ISTMAS TREE
By JANE VAN ROESTEL
Grade 8 - Precious Blood
No matter where I am in the
world, people hang things on
me.
In Japan they hang tangerines
and rice cookies that tell your
fortune.
In Germany cookies, oranges
and apples hang on my branches.
In Lithuania, my friends hang
circles, triangles and squares
made of straw on me.
In the Ukraine they decorate
me with eggs and chains of
paper.
But in Canada my dear
friends decorate me with things
from every country because
Canada is a proud nation of
many people from every part of
the world.
So now I guess you know
who I am — A Christmas tree.
Do you know who first
started my life?
The Scandinavian countries
did. They once worshipped
trees. When they became
Christians they made me part of
their Christian festivals.
So now you see, that I'm not
just a lonely evergreen but a
Christmas tree that brings to
everyone happiness all over the
world.

MY POINT OF VIEW OF THE
PRESENT DAY CHRISTMAS
By JOHN VRIESE
Grade 8 — Exeter
Christmas now is becoming
more and more commercialized
each year, by some merchants
and other resources putting in
ads about Santa Claus and other
things to help boom business.
Some merchants are concerned
in making a dollar or two and
not thinking of the true meaning
of Christmas.
Santa Claus is, I think taking
the place of Jesus. We're not
making this season joyous
because of Santa Claus but for
Jesus Christ who was born in
Bethlehem, not a make-believe
characters. Some and most
children look forward to the
presents and a visit from Santa
Claus instead of thinking of the
true-meaning of Christmas.
Maybe the little children are too
young to understand this event
but I think it should be
explained to them in some way.
So I think some people are
taking Christmas the wrong way
instead of what it should be.
Santa "s origin
By BRAD DATPRS
Grade 8 —Exeter
Some people believe in Santa
Claus and some don't. Today's
Santa Claus developed from a
real person, Saint Nicholas, who
lived in the 300's A.D. lie was a
bishop of Myra, an ancient town
of Lycia, now in Turicey.
According to his legend he was a
boy who became a bishop and
was extremely kind and often
went out at night taking presents
to the needy. After his death,
school-boys of various European
towns celebrated his feast day
on December 6 by electing a
boy-bishop, who dressed in
magnificent robes and lead a
parade through the streets where
there was much feasting but
later this custom died out and
St. Nicholas still remained the
favourite Saint with children.
Santa Claus's appearance
changed when his name changed.
Santa Claus described many
different ways but it was
Clement C. Moore, who wrote a
poem for his children and
described him the way he is
known today as a round and
jolly figure with twinkling eyes,
a "nose like a cherry" and a
white beard. He puffs a sturnb of
a pipe and rides in a sleigh pulled
by eight reindeer and was
dressed from head to foot in fur.
Santa Claus's activities in
American style became popular
in Canada, England and
Australia as a person who brings
gifts and Christmas Cheer.
If you were wondering where
Santa Claus originated, I hope
this will answer your question!
CHRISTMAS CAR DS
By MICHAEL OTTEWELL
Grade 8 — Exeter
Each year Christmas is
celebrated all over the world. In
Canada and the United States
there is one major problem
conserning Christmas. The giving
of Christmas cards makes this
festive time of year over
celebrated. It is unethical to
send a twenty cent greeting card
to your next door neighbour. A
friendly greeting made in person
or on the telephone does just as
well or better than a fancy-faced
piece of paper with a verse that
does not express one's true
feelings. Also, have you ever
noticed how people buy their
Christmas cards? They go into a
store and purchase a box a cards
and seldom read the verse inside.
I think that givin Christmas
cards in large quantities and to
send cards to your neighbour is
very unappropriate.
DECORATING ME
By ROBIN LITTLE
Grade 4 — Stephen Central
I am a Christmas tree. My
owners are decorating me. Oh!
What a beautiful star! They are
putting pretty lights on me. Oh!
oh! A light burnt out. There!
they replaced it. Look at those
beautiful glass balls! Oh! The
baby broke one! They replaced
it. Now they are putting
popcorn strings around me. Now
they are hanging candy canes on
me. Now they are running
around, pushing, trying to get
decorations they made. They are
banging against me! Oh! they're
finished! I'm glad. Now I can
sleep until Christmas morning.
