When' 1 heard a noise in the chimney. 1 went into the living room and looked up the chimney. There in it was Santa Claus. But... he was stuck! 1 was about to call my parents when Santa yelled "Who's down there?" Then 1 ex- claimed "It's me, Rachael Wood". Then Santa asked, "Can you help me get down? l'm stuck." 1 didn't know what to do sudden- ly I heard footsteps on the rooftop. I went outside and looked on the roof. I couldn't believe my eyes! Right there on the rooftop were eight tiny reindeer. 1 went back into the chimney. I got a pot of steam- ing hot water and put it into the chimney. When Santa Claus touched the water boy did he ever scream. In fact the water was so hot that he shot right out of the chimney and landed right in his sleigh. Then he rode off to another house pretend- ing nothing had happened at all. Christmas Time By Jelin Mardlin Kiddullph Central We get up and dart to the living - room, tear open our gifts and who knows what they'll be! The deafen- ing racket well make will prob- ably wake up our parents. Who knows, they could be happy or as mad as a hatter. But who cares, they should be glad because its boring when they're not. We'll make our gifts do what they're made to do. We'll turn on the tree lights and watch TV or get inter- ested in our presents, whatever they are. Don't forget the stock- ings! 1 hope they're full! What tiny trinkets do they hold? 1iiERRY C%R?Z`PlTM WTl'PY TZEW YERR WITH MANY THANKS. PERRY'S DRYWALL 228-6837 WE'D LIKE TO SEND YOU EACH A CARD But there's just too many of you!

Not the Last By Kieran O'Rourke Exeter P.S., Grade 3 Back in 1864, when Santa was supposed to come to the children, he had gotten very ill from food poisoning. So Santa couldn't go give people presents. "But you don't know how to fly the sled," said Santa. "But. you can teach us how," they said. "No. 1 am too ill to even get up. Perhaps there will be no Christmas at all," said Santa. "Please Santa, just give us one chance," said the elves. "Okay, Go out side and practise flying the sleigh," Santa said. "Bur. Santa, the reindeer won't listen to us." Santa said. But the elves didn't give up. After Santa had gone to bed, the elves would go and try to get the reindeer to listento us", the eives said. "Sec, I told you that there will be no Christmas," Santa said. But the reindeer still wouldn't. But one night, on Christmas Eve, the elves surprised Santa by giving the presents out and flying the sled. The Special Gift By Connie Gingerich Zurich P.S. Grade 7 One day a girl named Sally was up in her room trying to think of a gift for her mother. But she had only 2.50 and that wouldn't buy a great gift. The next day Sally was walk- ing in front of the .stores in town she passed a store with a beautiful dress for 5.00 whole dollars. Where was she going to get 2.50. Then an idea struck her! She would sell Christmas cookies! So the very next day Sally woke up bright and early. She went down and started cooking. By 10:30 Sal- ly made 30 Christmas cookies. She loaded the cookies on her wagon and took off! By 11:45 Sally sold all her cookies -then she -ran all -the way to the store and bought her . mom the dress. On Christmas day when .Sally's mom woke ,up she opened Sally's present she jumped up and hugged Sally and said "Sal- ly this is the most special gift in the world." On Christmas morning Santa said, "Where are all the toys?" "We wanted to surprise you," the elves said. "Well, you sure did," and Christmas went on forever. ,sinzpler times of slower paces People net with smiling faces, Greeting friends while children played.
