The Mystery of The Double Claus
I wasjust walking along trying to think of
what to get my mother for Christmas, when
suddenly something hit me on the head
from behind. I don't know what happened
from then on because I blacked out.
But when I awoke I was lying in, an old
shed with my arms and legs tied together.
What was I going to do?
I started to try to shout for help, but just
as I gave my shout,. I heard a mean laugh
from just outside the door.
I then decided that probably there
wouldn't be anyone nice enough to get me,
out. So I would have to escape myself.
I lociked around to see if there was
anything within -reach of me. There was but
I would have to 'roll over to get it.
Just then the door opened and somebody
dressed in a Santa Claus outfit came in. I
knew it wasn't the real Santa Claus,
The Greatest Gift I Could Give
I would like to be good on Christmas day,
If I had the power, •
I would do the hay,
And do the chores for an hour..

• Angels are singing,
Candles are burning,
Bells are ringing,
Trees are lighted,
Presents are opened,
People are delighted,

Christmas
I love the Cherries bright and red
And the hills I go down on my .sled'
And in the night I'd think of him
• You know Jesus that we bid.
I'd see him laying in the hay
• And his mother knelt down to pray.
And three kings that gave him presents
• The star above glowed with' silence.
• I lay me down to sleep and rest
To think of what. I want best
So now I'd like to be alone
• Until you call me on the phone.

because he gave a mean laugh as he came
in.
He threw some meat at me and told me
• to eat it carefully because I might be here
for a while. He then wentout.
After, he went out I rolled over to the
trowel that I had seen before I rolled on top
of it and started rubbing the ropes against
it. After a while they broke. I quickly undid
the rope on my feet' and ran to the door.
It was open, I ran outside but I didn't
know where I was. I looked at my watch to ,
check the time. It was 12.00 p.m. on
Christmas Eve. I should be home in bed.
I saw a reindeer walking along so I asked
him where I was. He said I was in
Belgrave.. I asked him if he would take me
to Langside. He would!
• We rode along and finally got to
Langside. I thanked him and asked him, if
he would like to come into our house for a
piece of celery or, something. ,
- Santa's Worst Christmas Eve
"Hurry up!" said Mrs. Claus. ',You're
going to be late!"
"I know. Have the elves hitched up the
sleigh?" said Sant.
"Yes everything is ready. Now get on
you're coat. You must get along on your
routes," said Mrs. Claus.
• "Alright bye!"•
"Good luck in your routes and keep
warm and don't get a cold lik•e last year!"
said Mrs. Claus.•
Santa was just about to go when he
noticed one of the reindeer was missing.
He :counted them. There were only six.
"Where is Blitzen?" he said worriedly.
He went into the stable. There was, Blitzen.
His nose was stuffed up and he had a bad
cough.
• A Superhero Christmas
Why do you want me to dress up as
Santa Claus? said Iron Man.
"Because Doctor Doom, Magneto, and
Blacklash want to destroy him. So this
Christmas you have to take his place," said
Captain America.
Why me? Why not the Hulk? Anybody
would know it was the Hulk if he dressed
up. Okay I will.' But I'll remember this.
1 The next day was Christmas Day and it
was'near nightime. "I feel like a fool," said
Iron Man. But nearby there was a star -
O cruiser. In it was Doctor Doom, Magneto,
and .Blacklash.
There he is. Turn on the tractorbeam.
Yes Doctor Doom Z -z -z -z -z -z -z -z-. Help!
It's time for Iron Man. Captain America I

fie would. Just as we got in I heard a
noise over by the Christmas tree and I
looked over and saw a man in a red suit.
The reindeer I had been with ran over to
the red suited person and said, 'There you
are Santa Claus." Ap the person turned
around I yelled, "That isn't Santa. That is
Double Claus,"
Mom and Dad came running down the
stairs and captured the Double Claus. Ltold
them the whole story and we asked the
• Double Claus a few questions. It turned out
he was trying to steal my presents.
I said, "Qh well, at least he didn't steal
my presents." Just then (ouch) I felt
something heavy jump on my bed and then
I awoke and there sitting at the end of my
bed was the cat sniffing at my stocking. It
• had all been a dream!

"I'm sorry, he said with a deep voice, "I
can't make the route."0
The rest of the reindeer are sick except
the reindeer on the sleigh and Prancer.
"Prancer, he's no good for' nothing,"
said Santa.
"Well then, you'll just have to go with
six' reindeer," said Blitzen.
"No I just can't," said Santa woefully.
"Well I guess he's not that bad," said
Santa, "We'll try him cut."
At first he was' bumping into every thing,,
but he soon got used to it and everything
turned out right. ••
Santa and I wish you a Merry Christmas.
