I would like to wish all my

BY CAROLYN FORD
Grade 7 E.P.S.
First of all is there or is there
not a Santa Claus? Well to my
knowledge there is a Santa
Claus. There are many books out
that have a picture of Santa
Claus shown.
He is a pleasant jolly fellow of
who gives toys to all the boys and
girls. Santa has always come
down the chimneny every
Christmas Eve, and has
delivered toys to everyone.
Santa is an important person to
all the little children. I feel that
it is great that such a person can
do such wonderful little things
for all the little children.
I think that everyone should be
happy to receive a gift from
Santa. Santa is a symbol of
happiness and enjoyment, and
brings a very happy holiday
season. Everyone enjoys getting
gifts.
For just one time out of the
year, I feel Santa should be
awarded a great deal, because he
brings and gives so much to
everyone in just a short time. priced quilts.
