A dairy tale Christmas
This is the Gingerbread Man taking Presents to the kids... Matt Teatero, Grade 6
A merry Christmas after all
Once upon a time, •
'In the Land of Rhyme,
Lived a little boy named
Timmy,
And his twin sister named
Kimmy.
In this land, all was merry
and bright,
Until it came upon one
Christmas night. ,
When for some strange
reason,
It turned out to be an 'un -
merry' season,
For Santa Claus did not
show!
"Was it because of all the
snow?"
"That can't be it. Oh no, oh
no!"
"Maybe Rudolph's nose
wouldn't glow?"
"Maybe Santa's stick and is
a wheezing?"
"Well, whatever the
reason,"
Said Timmy to his sibling,
"We must find Santa, the
Christmas King!
Arid I know we can!"
"Then what is your plan?"
Asked his loving sister,
Kimmy,
"Well, it's obvious," said
Timmy,
"That if we clitnb to the top
of Fairy Tale Mountain, •
And visit the sacred Fairy
Tale Fountain,
•He will surely know where
Santa has gone!"
"Well what are we waiting
for?" asked Kimmy, "Come
on!"
So off they went with a
jingle,
In search of good old Chris
Cringle.
And up they scaled higher
than high,
Meeting characters such as
Little Jack Horner with his
pie,
Little Miss Muffett, Wee
Willie Winkie,
Little Boy Blue and
Humpty Dumpty.
When alas they reached the
top of the mountain,
And there in front of them
was the Fairy Tale Fountain.
"Where, oh where has
Santa Claus gone? •
For when we woke up on
Christmas dawn,
Santa was late!
No presents were left, no
cookies were ate,
So tell us Fountain, where
can he be?"
And then in search of him
we will flee!"
"My dear little children,
There is indeed a problem.
Santa's sleigh is overloaded
with presents too heavy.
For his poor little reindeer
to carry.
So quick hop on Mother
Goose's Goose,
(Though don't hang on too
loose!)
And fly to the great North
Pole,
To help Santa pull his
heavy haul.
Now go quickly, please
hurry.
For it looks like on its way,
is a flurry!"
So off they flew as they set
forth, '
To find Santa up in the
North.
But when they got there,
They saw something so
rare...
A sight that was not
"merry" to see.
For there sat Santa sad as can
be. -
"Why, what's the matter?"
asked the two,
"Oh!" cried Santa, "What
to do, what to dot
There's no way my aging
reindeer can pull that sleigh!"
"We can help!" "What's
that you say?"
,Well, with the help of the
goose, maybe..." Santa said
dimly.
"It will work, you m•..,t
believe!" exclaimed Timmy.
"You're right, anything's
possible if we believe!" Santa
said with a grin.
So off they went, delivering
presents to all of their kin.
Although delivery, this
Christmas Eve was a little
late,
The children exclaimed, "It
was well worth the wait!"
And finally in the Land of
Rhyme;
It was a merry Christmas
after all, and just in time!

Jack
Frost
steals
the
sleigh
It was the night before
Christmas and Santa had a
big problem. His sleigh
was stolen by the evil Jack
Frost: who did not like
Christmas.
Santa called a meeting
withhis elves. reindeer
and Frosty the Snowman.
Santa said, "What are we
going to do? Do we have
time to build a new
sleigh?" Thinkful the elf
had an idea. "Let's make
Jack Frost a special toy.
then maybe he'll give hack
the sleigh."
The elves got right to
work making a snow globe
ice palace forJack.
Four hours before Santa
needed to deliver the
presents to the boys and
girls he and Rudolf were at
Jack Frost's place door.
Santa presented the
present and Jack was so
overcome with Santa's
generosity he gave hack
the:sleigh and wished him
a Merry Christmas.
