Letters to Santa
Dear Santa Claus
This is Doug Scott. Some
people believe in you and some
people don't. I am one of the
people who do believe in you. I
live in Exeter Ontario., I don't
think it's as cold down here as it
is up in the North Pole.
Wu just had a few snow storms
down here but now it's raining
out again. I hope we have a lot of
snow for Christmas for your
raindeer can come. But if not I
guess you will have to use your
helicopter.
Thats about all I have to say so
see you at Christmas time.
DOUG SCOTT
E.P.S.
Dear Santa,
How are you? Fine I hope. I
have been a very good boy this
year. For Christmas I would
like: A set of drums, Hugo,
Stretch Armstrong, Super Joe,
Tim Can Alley, vertibird and
Darta Race Set.
Love, George Pratt
P.S. I hope we don't have a green
Christmas or else you won't get
to the merry old town of Exeter.
GEORGE PRATT

Christmas Time
BY LAURIE HENDERSON
Grade 5
J.A.D. McCurdy
Christmas time can be fun,
When you have the shopping
done.
Christmas time can be dull,
When you don't get any toys at
all.
Christmas time can be happy,
With your grandma and
grandpappy.
Christmas should be happy and
fun,
Look on the bright side, look at
the sun.
