They always have hats," says Mattie. Olivia says the elves wear all sorts of different colours. "They have green, and red, and blue, and orange cos- tumes, in every colour." He might not be sure what the elves look like, but Taylor Goldsworthy is pret- ty sure he knows where they live. "They live in Santa's house." That sure would make things crowded, but not if Noah Mcllory is right. "The elves live under- ground." According to Taylor, Santa's getting some help not just from the elves, but nine reindeer as well. "His reindeer pull him in a sleigh through the sky." It probably would be too far to walk from the North Pole, according to Olivia. "Even Santa has to have a sleigh, he can't just walk." Mattie says. Santa just hooks his flying reindeer to his sled, and of course, "the leader is Rudolph." "He puts all the toys in Hayden Flood (the sleigh). He says `ya' to make the reindeer go." Laura Ashwin isn't quite sure how the reindeer can fly, but sure is glad they can. "The reindeer don't have wings, but they're special, they can fly up in the air." Laura says it is that same "special" power that allows Santa to fit his jolly figure down skinny chimneys all night long. "He has a special finger that will make him smaller." Haden says Santa just goes "feet first, and then his whole body." But what about when there is no chimney? Laura has the answer for that too. Abby Thomson Laura Ashwin Mattie McGregor Noah Mcllory "He quietly walks into the front door. He probably uses his magic finger to get in." Mattie says her chimney is too little for Santa, so he just goes through the front door as well. But only once you're sleep- ing, says Mattie, because he sees you when you're sleep - Olivia Riley ing, and knows when awake. If Santa's magic powers aren't working when he gets to Noah's house, Noah doesn't have to worry. "We leave the door unlocked." Olivia says Santa can use his magic to go skinny or fat if he wants, but some- times he'll use the front door. "When he's magic he can open the door without making a big bang, or close them quietly." "He goes down the chimney, then he finds the tree and puts the presents underneath the tree," says Haden. "Then in the morn- ing we open the presents and see what Santa got us." Taylor and Laura both want a Tamagotchi for Christmas, and hope- fully for their sake, Santa knows what that is. Santa should have no problem with Noah's list, which consists of a truck and race car. Abby is hoping for not just a pink bear, but "an elephant with a bow on his head." you're HURON PERTH HEALTHCARE ALLIANCE Clinton Public Hospital St. Marys Memorial Hospital Seaforth Community Hospital Stratford General Hospital WE WISH YOU WELL!

Thank you for caring for us, as we care for you" Taylor Goldsworthy Haden is asking for a remote control airplane, while Olivia wants a puppy furby. "It does anything you tell it to," she says. She also hoping for a sky dancer. "They have wings and they fly up in the air and dance." Mattie isn't afraid to shoot for the stars with her wish list. She wants a "blue flying pony with shiny blue wings." The presents are definitely the best part of Christmas according to Noah, Taylor, Olivia, Laura, and Haden. Abby says Christmas is celebrated because Santa comes and "he gives toys to everybody." Mattie agrees, that Santa must give toys to the whole world, because "everybody wants at least a single toy." But what could be better than getting toys on Christmas? Spending time with your family of course. "Because that makes Christmas be even better," says Mattie.
