Santa, Santa is real nice Santa, Santa sings at night Santa Santa eats cookies That's why he's got a belly. Why Christmas is Special to Me By Trent Taylor, Grade 3/4 Usborne Central I like Christmas because we get a lot of toys. I'm glad that Santa's eight reindeer help him especially Rudolph the red nosed reindeer or else if there wasn't the eight rein- deer, there would be no Christmas. Letter to Santa By Billy Brand, Grade 2 St. Boniface School Dear Santa: I want a bike and Lego and a watch for Christmas. I really want my family to be happy on Christ- mas. I want a computer for Christ- mas. Love Billy Santa's Christmas By Brent Ingram Grade 3, Heiman P.S Santa went on a vacation in Flor- ida because he was tired of the North Pole and all Elfs missed him. Well Mrs. Claus didn't even know he was gone. And then Santa for- got all about Christmas and it was Christmas Eve. He tried to get there. Guess what, he just made it in time to deliver the presents. And he never went on a vacation through Christmas Eve again! Christmas is Coming By Sarah Parker, Grade 5 Stephen Public School Christmas is coming Hear the bells ring Outside our window Carollers sing As we gather 'round the tree I'm amazed at what I see We go outside To have a big ride Sledding across the country hillside The wind's in my face It bites my nose I shiver right down to my toes As our mitts dry out By the fire so bright We sip hot chocolate And all say good night! f erre hrisfmas V Thank you for your patornage and we look forward to serving you in the New Year • Wal per's Service Centre Ltd. 99 Thames Rd.

I love you. Christmas is the best thing in the year. I wish I had everything good and fun in the whole wide world but I know you can't give me everything. Maybe you can at least give me three or four things. I hope the Reindeer don't get cold on Christmas. I love everyone. I hope you don't forget one person. My teacher is real nice. I hope you give her good stuff. My aunt just loves breakable stuff. She has a lot of breakable stuff. My aunt and uncle give me lots of stuff. I hope the elves are making good stuff for eve- ryone. I hope everyone is being good. My class is nice to me, so you should give them pretty good stuff. There is this one girl in my class. She is funny. You should give her some things that make her laugh. Her name is Megan. She is really nice. I hope you and the elves and reindeer have a good Christmas! Your friend Scott Stire Letter to Santa By Amanda Ducharme, Grade 4 St. Boniface School Dear Santa: Merry Christmas! Thank you for the presents that I got last year.

Love your friend, Amanda P.S. I am a nine-year-old girl. Letter to Santa By Devon Bedard, Grade 2 St. Boniface School Dear Santa: I don't really need anything be- cause I am going to Florida with my family.

Love Devon Maybe Next Time Invisible Man By Lindsay Love, Grade 6/7 Zurich Public School He watched over People-ville! The Invisible Man checked his eyes! Then he fel!! What he saw was an amazing sur- prise! Every Person down in People- ville, even Jason and Paul, Were dancing with the most presents of all! He hadn't stopped the gifts from coming! They came! Somehow or other, they came all the same! And the Invisible Man, with his big feet in the snow, Stood puzzling and puzzling: 'How could it be so?' 'They came with ribbons! They came with tags!' 'The packages came in boxes and bags!' And he puzzled for hours, till his puzzler was sore. Then the Invisible Man thought of something he hadn't before! 'Maybe presents,' he thought, might come from the store! 'Maybe presents...perhaps... mean a little bit more!' And what happened then...? Well...in People -vile they say That the Invisible Man's little heart Grew a lot larger that day! Poems There once was a little kitten Who only had one mitten Santa came along And sang a graceful song And the kitten got frost bitten. There once was a Christmas tree Who obviously couldn't see He tried to walk far But all he has is a star I would know because he ran into me.

Frosty the Snowmobile Grade 6/7 Zurich Public School Frosty the Snowmobile was a re - vin' happnin' soul, With electric start and 800 cc's, And two skis with awesome car- bides. Frosty the Snowmobile is a 90's kinda machine they say; He was made of plastic and steel, but the Party Guys squeal how he came to a race one day. There must have been some gas in that old gas tank that they found, For when they placed it in his mo- tor he began to spin around, Oh, Frosty the Snowmobile as fast as he could be, And the Party Guys lied he could slip and slide, and if you did you could collide. Revity rev rev, Revity rev rev, Look at Frosty go; Revity rev rev, Revity rev rev, Over the hills of snow. Celebrate the big and srnaN wonders this season. We appreciate your patronage and hope to serve you in 1997 19'74e*. Brad and Jan Barnes &. _a I Sense Christmas By Jessica Gingerich, Grade 8 Zurich Public School Eyes see the glistening lights upon the Christmas tree, Eyes sec the sparkling snow that falls so gracefully, My nose smells the turkey dinner from which we eat, My nose smells the evergreens their aroma is so sweet, My ears hear the Christmas bells chiming merrily, My ears hear the carolers singing faithfully, My mouth helps me eat the food my grandma always cooks, My mouth helps me sing the songs from the Christmas book, My hands help me open gifts of all different sizes, My hands help me eat my food, cakes and Christmas pies. These senses help me get to know what Christmas is all about, These senses are what I need when Christmas comes around. Lotter to Santa By Chantal R.
