SantaWho Forgot
Christmas
By Brett Overholt
Grade 3
Precious Blood School
Once a upon a time
there was a red and white
house at the North Pole.
In the house lived Santa
and his wife. It was
Christmas Eve, Santa for-
got it was Christmas Eve.
Santa thought it was
Happy New Years.
It was getting darker, so
he went to bed but he
couldn't get to sleep.
Then Santa went to see
the elves. He announced,
"Let's make a party!" The
one little elf said, "It is
Christmas Eve." Santa
said, "What!" Then it was
closer to morning. The
kids were mad at Santa.
Santa had an idea, how
about we invite them to
the party. So they did.
Dear Santa
By Shane, Grade 4
Biddulph Central School
Dear Santa:
My name is Shane. I am
nine years old. I have a
brother named Brent. I
have a mother and a
father. I have one cat
named Cola.
I would like some books,
N64 games, movies, a
watch and a bike.
How -do the reindeer
fly? Why do the elves
have sharp ears?
From Shane
P.S. Write back soon.
Merry Christmas.

My stocking is special to
me. My stocking is special
to me ' because it was
made of love. My Dad
made my stocking. In my
family we have a tradition
for the 'stockings. My
great -grandma sta
this tilt() +rn. She
stockings. '1 lien when
had children she put the
name on the stocking,
and anything else on it.
Every Christmas they
would fill the stockings
and not put who the gifts
were from. They did this
on Christmas Eve. Then
on Christmas Day they
would ope all the little
gifts from the stockings.
When my Dad had me he
made me a stocking. If I
have children I will make
them stockings. When or
if I have children I will tell
them this story on how
the stocking tradition
started. I hope if I have
children the stockings I
make for them will be
special to them, just as
my stocking is special to
me.

Do Tract to Ond a way to make snow?
My inion makes snow in an amazing minute. It's
called the snowomatic two thousand! All you've got to
do is put water into it. But that's not all you can do.
You can put.snow into it and make water again!
It looks like a metal tank, the colours are red, blue
and green. The size of it is the size of a desk. It makes
a tromping sound when making sound.
Anyone can use it. Say a kid wanted to ride his sleigh
and there was no snow. It comes in handy here. Say
the weather man told everybody it was -going to snow
but it really wasn't. It comes in handy here too. Plus
you can move it anywhere because it's as light as a
feather.
