A CHRISTMAS LONG AGO
By Jason Veenstra
Grade 8, Hullett Central P.S.
Twas the night of Christmas Eve
And we really had to leave
The pumpkin pie was all gone
It was ate by Uncle Don
Everyone was tired, grandpa was
too
But we still had something to do
All the children gathered round
Not daring to make a single sound
Grandpa sat in his favourite chair
And opened the book with the
greatest of care
All the children listened in awe
As he told of what the angels saw
Long ago on a dark, dark night
A star appeared bringing
tremendous light
Showing people where Jesus lay
Fast asleep upon the sweet
smelling hay.
Everyone had something to bring
To lay before their newborn King
Each year as we celebrate his
birth
It unites people throughout the
earth.
SANTA CLAUS
By Kurt Beuerman
Grade 8, Hullett Central P.S.
I was two years old and I got up
Christmas Eve. Standing beside the
Chrfstmas tree was a big fat man
with a white beard and a red toque
and a red coat. He had roscy
checks, and tall black bools on his
feet. He had told me his name was
Santa Claus. He had a big bag filled
with toys. He gave me a big green
Santa elf doll.
In the morning I told my mom
what I had seen but I'm not sure she
believed me but I know I had really
seen Santa.
MY LETTER TO SANTA
By Pamela Morrison
Grade 8, Hullett Central P.S.
DEAR SANTA,
This Christmas I don't want
anything. I live in Auburn with my
mom and brother. If I had any three
wishes they would be: 1) world
peace, 2) more people would be
like you and give 3) nobody in the
world would ever go hungry or be
cold. I think it is very kind of you
to give to everybody and never take
like some people in the world.
Talk to you next year.
From, Pamela.
FLUFFY THE PUPPY
By David Schultz
Grade 8, Hullett Central P.S.
Fluffy the puppy with fur as
snow played with his ball, wagging
his tail, happy and all. Fluffy ran
through the house but did not wake
a soul, not even a mouse and
jumped up on the bed. Fluffy is
sleep and starts to yawn, so Fluffy
the cute little puppy, sleeps on the
lawn.
THE NIGHT BEFORE
CHRISTMAS
By Kevin Trewartha
Grade 8, Hullett Central P.S.
It was the night before Christmas,
And all through the house,
Everyone was sleeping,
Even the mouse.
The children were sleeping,
snuggled in their bed,
And Santa was sleeping while his
reindeer were fed,
Mrs. Claus woke up Santa with a
shove,
It was time to deliver the presents
with love.
In the bag, Santa put the very last
doll,
He climbed into the sleigh, careful
not to fall,
He said to his reindeer, "We had
better get going,
We must get this done before the
moon stops glowing."
Santa was sleepy by the time he
was done,
We wish all of our customers and
friends a MERRY CHRISTMAS
and a HAPPY and PROSPEROUS
NEW YEAR!

Tommy woke up with a new
water gun,
Children were waking up as
morning came near,
Santa went home to wait for next
year.
CHRISTMAS EVE IN
SANTA'S SHOP
By Pam Schneider
Grade 8, Hullett Central P.S.
T'was the night before Christmas
And all through the workshop
Everyone was scurrying
To pack Santa's pack.
With toys of all shapes
Size and colours
To give to all girls, boys
Fathers and mothers.
As Santa gets back
From his long, long journey
He sits in his recliner
And eats milk and cookies.
After he is finished
He goes to bed
And hears happy voices
Of children in his head.
SANTA
By Maranda Blake
Grade 8, Hullett Central P.S.
He was big and jolly with a great
big smile
He spread joy and laughter mile
after mile
He comes on Christmas Eve
Presents under the tree he will
leave
He wears a big red suit
And a big black boot
Over his back
Hangs a great big sack
All over the world he flys in a
sled
"Dasher, Dancer and Prancer" he
said.
He slides down the chimney with
care
In hopes that the child is not on
the stair
He'll watch you through the year
Making sure you are being a dear
So be good throughout the year
Because Santa is watching you
very near.
DEAR SANTA,
I wish that everybody was nice,
wish people didn't die.
