Christmas is waking up
BY Grade 4-5
J.A.D. McCurdy
Christmas is waking up in
the middle of the night and
watching Santa trying to get
down the chimney.
Christmas is lighting one
of your mother’s best can
dles and when it is all burnt
down your mother comes
home and kills you.
Christmas is a time when
you meet people you have
never met in a long time.
Christmas is getting out of
school early. Yeh!
Christmas is hoping your
snowman will come alive.
Christmas is a bright
yellow star.
Christmas is when
Grandma and Grandpa
come over
Christmas is the best time
of year.
Christmas is finding coal
or something you hate in
your stocking.
Christmas is a time to give
gifts and at the same time
spend money.
Christmas is when your
class has a Christmas draw
and you get a girl’s name
and you don’t know what to
buy her.
Christmas is a large green
Christmas tree with many
gifts under it and they’re all
for you
Christmas is a time to
celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Christmas is being one of
Santa’s a nlay.
Christmas is ripping your
sister’s dolls arm off and
taking her candy.
Christmas is writing
Christmas stories.
Christmas is sneaking
downstairs and watching
mom and dad kissing under
the mistletoe.
Going Outside In
The Winter
BY SUSAN McCLURE
Grade 8

Have you ever tried to get
a three year old ready to go
outside? Perhaps you were
babsitting or home with your
kid brother.
First you have to find his
outdoor clothing, which was
thrown everywhere after the
last excursion. The
snowsuit goes on without any
problem, except the zipper
get’s caught on his shirt,
Then come the boots; are
you supposed to wear shoes
in them? Oh no. You tug and
pull until there on, then you
find they are on the wrong
feet! The hat goes on but
seems a bit high on the
forehead. Ah, here’s the
problem; on backwards.
The scarf your sister knit
is tied on and you pray it
doesn’t unravel. Now comes
the tough part, mittens. The
child just won’t co-operate.
'‘Now just push, please."
Just as one goes on the other
is shaken off. After threats,'
bribes and pleadings they’re
both on, at last.
You get dressed, won
dering when, if ever he’ll be
able to dress himself, while
he complains of the heat. The
door is open and you’re
ready to go when Junior
pipes up with, “I gotta go to
the bathroom.”

deer. The other laughed and
laughed about his ice
gripped feet.
The little deer said, "I
went and saw Santa, he said
in a spunky way I couldn’t go
out on the big trip tonight.
Comet said you wouldn’t
even get around the coner
with those feet.
They kept on taunting him
and taunting him, about his
feet. Blizten exclaimed,
“Let’s call him Iggy the ice
gripped foot reindeer. The
little reindeer went out
beside Santa’s red sliegh he
said to himself why couldn’t
I be like my brother Rudolf
with the Red Nose?
Just then the bell rang it
was time to go on the big
ride. Just then it started to
rain and was very slippery,
but Iggy had no trouble at
all. Santa was ready to go,
and he slipped and fell.
He called over Iggy, he
attached him to the front of
the sliegh. They got all
around the world. The next
day Iggy was offically
named the non-skid rein
deer.

BY BRENDA THOMPSON

One snowy day a little
reindeer came to Santa and
said “Santa may I come with
you on that special night?”
“No. little one you are too
small, next year,” said
Santa, “Nextyear.” The tiny
reindeer went off out into the
stable with the other rein-
Santa To The
Rescue
BY PAUL LOVE

We were flying at 10,000
feet over the North Pole
when we ran into some
turbulence. I tried to keep
our 747 steady but could not.
The fourth and second
engines died and then we
began to lose altitude. My co
pilot spotted an open ice bay
and I decided to attempt a
landing.
The last thing I remember
was hitting the ice and
lossing consciousness. When
I woke up I was looking
straight into a white beard. I
heard a loud Ho lHo Ho and
then sat up straight. "It must
be a dream’’ I said.
“No”, said Santa, “you are
in my toy factory.”
“But what about my 300
passengers?” I asked.
“They are safe and are on
their way to Toronto
International Airport on my
eight reindeer passenger
sleigh.”
“Oh” said I and the Santa
winked at me. “How would
you like to help me deliver
toys tonight?”
“Swell,” I answered him.
“Good, I’ll finally have
someone to open the front
door for me. I always had to
go down the chimney
before."
So that was how I, George
Prescott, became Santa’s
middle man.

Working in the workshop all
day long,
Tip, tap, tip, tap it’s like a
song.
The elves work hard all day,
all night,
Getting ready for Santa’s
flight.
They have to make lots of
toys
For all the girls and boys.
They saw, they hammer and
they nail too
There’s lots for every elf to
do.
On Christmas Eve when
work is done
Santa will start his long long
run.
The elves have done their
very best
Now they can have a quiet
rest.

To all our

The fairy saves Santa

It was December 24, 1978,
Christmas Eve. Santa Claus
was getting packed for
delivering his presents to
every good girl and boy. As
he was doing this with his
elves he had the radio on
listening to the weather
forecast. The forecast man
said there was to be a
terrible raging blizzard.
But Santa Claus didn’t pay
any attention to this and kept
on packing. After Mrs. Santa
Claus kissed him good-bye
Santa Claus, was on his way.

Christmas Time
BY PAUL KINSMAN

Christmas is a time for joy
and love, and to remember
who was born on this day. He
is Jesus Christ. He was the
man who spread the word of
God too all people. Christ
mas is were families get
together and and to have fun
opening presents. The joy of
Christmas is to give and
recieve.
Some people don’t believe
in Christmas, they say it is
foolish and waste money. I
think of it as being the person
who cares for others
makes others happy.
We should think
Christmas as a time
greeting other peopl as well
as friends and neighbours.
We sould think of others not
yourselves. This is
Christmas is about.

The Animal Council Christmas Tree
BY DREW HASSELBACK
Grade 6
Exeter P.S.
I say we don’t, I say we do,
The animals argued through
and through,
They tried to agree,
Can’t you see?
Keeping them quiet,
Was a mouse called Wyatt.
“Gentlemen, Gentlemen” he
managed to say,
There’s a problem ’bout
Christmas Day----
In our town we need
something special
"That is puzzleing” said the
gazelle.
I have a motion that is not so
baffling,
Why don’t we go get a sap-
pling.”
The Concil cried "I second, I
third, I fourth”
Mr. Charman said, “There’s
some evergreen up nor
th!”
Did I hear green asked Eagle
the mayor
As he sat back in his chair,
He really loved to golf
With his dog Rolph.
Soon they sat out on this
expedition
It was a successful mission.
Eagerly they chopped the
tree down,
So the took it back into town,
Every one decorated it with
glee
And a merry Christmas it
tutned out to be.

blow after he had been to a everyone was asleep waiting
few houses.
All of a sudden "Cloplop”
right in the middle of
nowhere Santa Claus was
down with all of his presents
scattered every which way.
Santa Claus was unable to
deliver his packages. He
must find a way to deliver
his gifts.
After a while Santa Claus
heard something in his sled.
It was his C.B. Santa Claus
tried to radio for help, but
for him to come. Suddenly a
great idea popped into his
head. The idea is that he
could call the Christmas
Fairy, Holly.
After Santa had called the
fairy, and the fairy had
arrived, the fairy made the
wind and snow stop, with a
wink of her eye. Santa was
off again. So from now on, we
don’t have to worry because
that’s how the Christmas
Fairy saved Santa Claus

“Hey come on Paulette,
David and Mark.” "Where
are we going?” asked Mark.
“We’re going to get a
Christmas tree.” said Dad.
“Is mom coming too?” I
asked. "No she is going to
decorate the house.” said
dad.
"Shouldn’t we bring my
wagon to carry the tree
home?” asked Mark.
“No way! We’re not going
to get a small tree. It is going
to be huge!” said David.
"Forget about the talking
and let’s go!”
"Let’s see what they have
in Exeter.”
“Bruum.” went the .car.
"We’re here now! Everyone
out!”
"Dadthereis a beauty.”
"No, here is one that will
go in my wagon.”
"This one will fit into the
living room.”
"Let’s go to the woods
kids.”
"Okay
"Brum.” After a while we
got there.
"Everyone out!”
It was dark in the woods
when we got there
"Here’s a big tree, dad”
"No, that one too big. It
would not fit in out living
room.”
"Dad this is a nice one”,
"No no, that one is too small!

Kids why don’t you all go

"Okay!” we all said
“We forgot our

“We’ll go in

"Huh!”
"Oh, it’s only an owl. I
won’t get scared.” I said
over and over again.
"Mark, Paulette, David!
we’re going home. I found a
good tree. Forget about
yours. It’s getting late.”
shouted Dad.
After we got home we tried
getting the tree in the door
but it was too wide.
"Get the scissors, Mark.”
"Snip, snip.” went the
sissors.
When we were all in the
house Dad said "Everyone
up to bed. We’ll decorate the
tree tomorrow.”
“Good-night dad, we all
