I wanted a wagon. some candy and a ball. 1 wrote a letter to Santa with care. Asking for presents, with wrap- ping to tear. Now 1 admit n was silly to ask. 1 used to think Santa wore a mask. He wrote me back and said "No way". He said he'd show me on Christ- mas Day' 1 waited and wafted till Christmas Eve And down he came wit. ha Ho and a heave! He filled our stockings, then fumed to me. He opened his sack as 1 smiled with glee. Out he pulled something big with ,wheels. .appy Holiday wishes to all our urondcrfid customers `1)e enjoy serving you Nancy and Ted Ducharme Vehicle Licence Office Ted's Replacement Windows Zurich 23,64830 seasina, s Greetisiss At this joyous Flaw's, may you be blest with the peace, baPpi ness, and love that Christmas always brings.

I was still in my bed looking out the window when i heard a strange noise and it came from downstairs and I quickly woke my sister. She said, "Please go back to sleep?" But 1 heard something downstairs so me and my sister ran quickly down the stairs just in time to see Santa cov- ered in pans and pots. -Me and my sister at the same time said "What are you doing! Santa said "rm looking for the milk and cookies and 1 can't find them" and i said "Well we're plain out of them". Santa said "Then buy some' I said, "the stores arc closed. But we do have cookie mix and cows in the barn. So me and my sister went out to the barn to get the milk while San- ta baked the cookies. Then after we carne in the house Santa was all ready done baking. So when Santa and me and my sister were eating cookies and drinking milk he gave us both presents. We put them under the bed and went hack to sleep. i� HNt lei% teltrlittives syAliela Laye Exeter PS. Grade 3 it was the night before Christmas. My cat was in bed. So was 1. I got out of bed and in my livingroom 1 saw "Santa Claus". He said, "Go to sleep. 1 don't want you to sec your presents." So Leslie, Amanda and I got a notebook and jotted down stuff that Santa was doing. (At school, the nicest teacher, Mrs. Mills said, "Today is the end of school. We are going to do a pro- ject I told you about two days ago in Quiet Writing Time. I will tell you the kids in your group too. Les- lie, Amanda and Alicia arc a group. So we got going on our project about Santa.) So we got the note- book and put all the things down. At 2:30 the project was done. We were the first ones done. We got to go to the washroom and in the washroom we gave a high five. When we got our project back we got A+ and we got to go homc fat before anybody. So when we got home we looked at the toys Santa got for us. We went to the bedroom and said, "Don't tell we saw Santa Claus!!" So Amanda, Leslie and I did not tell that we sats Santa Claus. 1 McGillivray Mutual Fire insurance 127 John St., Ailsa Craig Phone 293-3613 ri % shes ail their policy froitiers a Very Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year itl�i 'IES�T 1 1�ll iaiireglwFaimite To cherished old friends and valued new friends, we would like to take this opportunity to wish oar friends and patrons all the joy, the hope and the happiness of Car stn0as.
