Down the stairs she ran, Thinking about the Christmas dinner she still had to plan. As she ran to the ice box and took out a turkey which weighed fifteen pounds She was amost knocked over by one of her hounds. She found all ingredients and started to prepare, But as she was doing this, Down fell her hair? She stopped her. job she was partly done But just long enough to pin up her bun. Then back to her work as quick as a flash, All of the sudden she heard a big crash. The cook look down at the floor and oh did she howl, What she found on the floor was the fifteen pound fowl. An hour later when the guests had got there, She picked up her turkey and strai • htens her hair. One of 3 e people asked the cook, "1:). 4 you have any trouble, aring this lunch?"

His nose was like a big shiny and bright cherry. The other reindeer used to always say "Look at the therry nosed deer! isn't he a funny sight?" Well the elves didn't think so. They were very fond of him, because he came when the elves needed light, and then they see perfectly. Santa Claus didn't know anything about Rudolph, because he had come later than the other reindeer, and Santa was always in his workshop. Well at last Christmas came. Santa called all the reindeer to his feet and said "I am going to pick a leader to lead the way from house to house. '9! Then suddenly Santa saw a little reindeer with a big bright nose, and asked one of his elfs who it was. The little elf gladly said "Oh, that is Rudolph. His' nose is so bright it shines in the darkness of the night 'and is as tame as a baby puppy." After the elf said that Santa decided to see how Rudolph would do so he picked him. After that Christmas Eve the other reindeer only called Rudolph - Rudolph. Now Rudolph isn't so ashamed of his nose any more.

I'm sure you have, and if you haven't —. well you still have a couple of days to make it up. In fact next time I see Santa Claus, I'll tell him to make a trip to your house. When I was very little I wanted so much to meet Santa Claus that I stayed up all night. I waited and waited, suddenly there was a thump! It was Santa Claus. He filled the stockings up and put presents on the tree, and he spotted me at the corner of his eyes. He picked me up and set me on his knee! Ha! Ha! Ho! Ho! "What are you doing up so late?" he said. I didn't reply, I was astonished. He picked up a story and started reading it. After that I don't know what happened. What do you think happened! I fell asleep! SCOTT'S LEATHER SHOP 120 Sanders St..
