Christmas

Santa comes in a two more days
I just can't wait to see his face
My mom and dad will not find
out
I watched him go to the neigh-
bour's house
The night before Christmas
Then he came to my house
I ran up to my room .
And when he left, .I went back
down
to see him go vroom! vroom!
Christmas Day
By Marty Vanderhoek
Grade 8, Zurich Public
We all sit around the family table
Singing •songs of Jesus and the
stable
Mother passes the food around,
For a deep night sleep we all are
bound
Because tomorrow is Christmas
Day.
Some families will still use the old
fashioned sleigh
Now it is morning,
For the birds are soarin
On Christmas Day.
Hoping your Christmas will be merry with holidays bright '
and gay. May the best of old fashioned joys come to your
hearts to stay!

Christmas
By Kevin Thompson
Grade 3, Mt. Carmel School
The night before Christmas I
went to bed to sleep. Santa took a
while to get to our house. Santa
Claus got here at 5:00. I was happy
that I got presents.
Everyone was happy in my fami-
ly. We went to church. Then we
went to grandma Glavin's for a lit-
tle while then we went to grandma
and grandpa Thompson's. Great
grandpa _came over to have
presents, too.
We had a Christmas supper, then
we went down stairs to watch T.V.
and we played. We stayed for five
hours. Then we went -home and we
went to bed.
I was a good day. I hada lot of
presents and I liked all of my
presents. Thpn I finally went to
sleep.
Christmas Time
By Angie Clarke
Grade 7, Zurich Public
The stars are shining against the
sky,
While everyone's having a cup of
cheer,
Mom is baking a pumpkin pie,
The carollers outside you hear.
The stockings are hung with such
cane
Times like these are so rare. - •
The tree is lit,
The children are in bed
Jimmy is hoping for a pair of new
mitts.
Santa's cheeks are a bright, rosy red
As he slides down the chimney.
To deliver the gifts to good girls
and boys,
A toy truck, a new doll, or any sort
of toy.
Christmas is a special time,
To get together and remember old
times,
To hear the bells chime and sing in
a rhyme,
That's why Christmas is a special
time!
St. Nicholas (Rapp)
By Dana Dawn Rowan
Way up north it is very, very
cold
There was a man that never,
never sold
He gives to the boys that make a
lot of noise
and to the girls with their nice
little curls.
On Christmas eve he ties up his
sleigh
This happens at night not during
the day.
His name is St. Nick. •
And he doesn't like people to
kick.
For if they do nopresents for
them.
All they deserve is an old green
steam
When he is finished giving the
toys to all the girls and boys.
He has a scat and puts up his
feet
One of the elves named Peter
cleaned. up his toy shop nice and
neat.
Santa was so happy.
But that's whcn he said get to
work right and snappy.
The reason he said this was be-
cause he had fear there would not
be enough toys for next year.
I Wish I Could Be
By Stephanie Rader
Grade 3, Stephen Central
I wish I could be Mrs. Claus's
maid because I can go and see the
reindeer. 1 can make things or cook
and will be washing the elves. I
will be making the breakfast for
Santa or Mrs. Claus or elves.
Some of the things I might do is
train a reindeer to do some tricks or
do jump things. I would have to
clean Santa's sleigh, maybe he
would forget a present in his good
old sleigh. I wish I could clean the
factory but they would be too busy.
I will have to go and tuck Mrs.
Claus in and Mr. Claus in and the
elves in they would not mind I
don't think. I wish my wish could
come true, do you? I hope you do
wish my wish came true.
What Christmas
means to me
By Craig Skinner
Grade 5, Usborne Central
Christmas means having Christ-
mas holidays. Playing with friends
in the crisp, clean air. Not having
to go to school.
Christmas means decorating tall
evergreens with glowing lights and
beautiful presents under the proud
tree.
Christmas means having feasts. I
just love it when they serve the
piping hot mashed potatoes topped
with delicious gravy and the hot,
juicy, plump turkey. For dessert I
love the soft, cold ice cream and
soft squishy jello topped with
whipped cream. Delicious!
But the true meaning of Christmas
is Jesus, who was born in far away
Bethlehem. That's what Christmas
means to me.
Christmas Thieves
By Aaron Shilson
Grade 7, Biddulph
It was Christmas eve and I could
not get to sleep. I walked outside to
get some fresh air. Then I heard a
noise coming from "the roof! Slowly
I looked in the window. Five elves
were taking everything that we had!
I tried to open the door to warn my
family but it was locked.
I decided to climb the antenna that
lead to the roof. There was a sled of
stolen toys. "Let's ,go before they
wake up" an -elf said as he climbed
up the chimney. I jumped in the
sled and hid under all the toys.
"Let's go home, we've done enough
stealing for tonight" the elves
laughed. And we raised into the air.
The sleigh landed while I heard
the elves walk away. I decided to get
out and look around, but a clf
caught me. "Were do you think
you're going?" an elf said. - "Wc
caught another one, guys". Then,
all the, elves threw me down a
slope. I woke up and I knew it was
only a dream.

Christmas is...
By Andy Jaques
Grade 8 McCurdy PS
Christmas is the sight of all the
houses lit up on the block.
Christmas is the sweet sound of
carollers singing Christmas carols
outside your window.
Christmas is the taste of mouth-
watering turkey.
Christmas is the smell of the pine
needles on the Christmas tree.
Christmas is the touch of wrap-
ping paper crinkling in your hand.
