Christmas Time
By Lea Mudge
Grade 3, Stephen Central P.S.
C is for the cradle Jesus slept in
H is for the hay Jesus slept on
R is for Rudolph with his shiny red
nose
I is for icicles hanging from the
roof
S is for Santa who comes at night
T is for tree that we can decorate
M is for Mary, mother of Jesus
A is for angels
S is for stockings that hang on the
mantle
T is for too many presents
I is for I love Christmas
M is for Merry Christmas
E is for elves that make toys for
you..

Christmas in the country,
Christmas in the air,

Christmas everywhere.
Going Christmas shopping,
Going with a friend,
Going in each store,
And going to the end.
Christmas in the morning,
Christmas in the night,
Opening my presents,
') thein with delight.
Going to my grandma's,
Going there to eat,
Playing with m) cousins.
Christmas is real neat!
ejoice!

Santa's Special Night
By Curtis VanderHyden
Grade 7, St. Patrick's School
Christmas magic fills the air,
Reindeer receive loving care,
Soon they'll be flying on their way,
And hope to be done by Christmas
day.
Santa will put the gifts in his sack,
They're off! Rudolph's leading the
pack,
Even though it's a dark foggy
night,
Rudolph clears it with his nose so
bright.
Santa's bag is full of toys,
For all the thoughtful girls and
boys,
He will make the next day great,
Although after that, you'll have to
wait,
For next Christmas to come along,
With more carollers, singing their
song,
So next time you see the man in
red,
Wave to him and nod your head.
Christmas Story
By Jacob Hovius
Grade 5, Hensall Public School
Once upon a time there was a
land far, far away. A boy named
Joey was worried that Santa Claus
would not come to his house on
Christmas. So he went to the closet
and found some Christmas lights.
Then he went outside and put them
up and went to bed.
The next day he found a lot of
presents. He went to his friend's
house. His friend said that Santa
was not true. Joey went home cry-
ing and opened some of his
presents. Then he had some lunch
and he opened more presents. He
had supper. Joey went to bed.
In the middle of the night he
woke up and saw Santa Claus was
at the end of the bed. He said,
"Don't believe your friend. He
didn't get any presents this year."
"Well I will give him one of my
teddy bears."
Santa said, "You have a good
sense of humor."
And he left. And Joey went back
to sleep. In the morning Joey went
to his friends. And gave him his
own teddy bear. And it said, "From
Santa."

The Bears Replace-
ment Santa
By Shane MacGregor
Grade 3, Exeter Public School
December 25th was soon coming
up and Alex, an 18 -year-old boy.
Kelly, a 12 -year-old birl and Tom-
my, a IO -year-old boy, were all ex-
cited about the holiday season and
so was Mike, a 30 -year-old man
and Carly, a 28 -year old woman.
Carly was getting out and putting
up Christmas decoration. Alex put
on a Christmas tape that had the
songs "Silent night, Jingle bells,
Noel, The night before Christmas,
Frosty the snowman, Oh Christmas
tree, Joy to the world, We wish you
a merry Christmas, Santa Claus is
coming to town, Boy in the manger
and Little drummer boy". When
Carly finished, Mike started putting
lights up on their artificial Christ-
mas tree. Meanwhile Alex, Kelly
and Tommy watched and listened
to the tape. The days went on and
the Grizzlys got more excited. Fi-
nally the day came and they felt
warm and cozy when they looked
at the Christmas tree. They had
supper and hung their stockings
over the fireplace and left out some
cookies for Santa. Then they went
to bed and tried to go to sleep but it
was hard, finally they did.
In the morning Alex, Kelly and
Tommy got up at 3:00 in the morn-
ing and yelled "Mom, Dad, get up,
it's Christmas morning". In about
an hour (4:00), momma and poppa
Grizzly got up and looked under
the christmas tree. There were more
presents. Then they 1poked at the
kitchen table. The cookies were
gone. Alex, Kelly and Tommy
started to rip open their Christmas
presents when they heard someone
say "Ho Ho Ho, I'm stuck and I
won't be able to deliver the Christ-
mas presents unless I get out of
your chimney. Please help me".
Alex, because he felt like it and
Mike, ran to the chimney and
looked up. There was Santa. Quick-
ly Alex and Mike pushed Santa but
he wouldn't budge. So Alex went
and got changed into his clothes
and put on his coat and went out to
the den and got a ladder, climbed
up onto the roof, got to the chimney
and went down the chimney but he
couldn't go any farther than about a
foot.
He got out of the chimney and
climbed into the sleigh and said
"Now Dasher, now Dancer, now
Prancer, and Vixen, on Comet, on
cupid, on Donner an Blitzen".
Quickly the reindeer took off and
went all around the world in about
three hours. Alex came back by
daylight. They had a wonderful
Christmas. The next year the same
thing happened.
The Truth About
Christmas
By Heather Irvine
Grade 5, McGillivray Public
School
Very, very long ago there lived a
women named Mary. She was a
virgin. One day she went out on a
walk with a fellow named Joseph.
When they were walking, a white
light shone upon them. A voice
said you will have a son. You will
name him Jesus. Then Mary said
unto him, but how? I am a virgin.
And the Lord put out his hand and
laid it on top of her head. Then she
felt a touch of hope. In a week or so
the son was born. Mary did what
she was told and named him Jesus.
When he got to be older his par-
ents, Joseph and Mary moved. Je-
sus was left behind by accident. For
months no one could find him.
Then Joseph and Mary went back
to where they had been living and
there he was sitting with the old
men. They were so happy to see
him! When he was growing up he
began to help sick people. He cured
many people with sickness. Now
we know him today as Jesus Christ
all over the world. We celebrate the
birth of Jesus through Christmas.
Christmas Poem
By Katie Fox
Grade 7, Zurich Public School
Christmas is a time for love, a time
to think of heav'n above.
We celebrate Jesus' birthday. He
was lying on the hay,
On that night, the star shone bright,
Jesus came to save our lives; the
girls, boys, husbands, wives.
Christmas
By Allison Masse
Grade 4, St. Boniface School
To me, the most important things
about Christmas are: Making gin-
gerbread men and looking at the
Christmas lights. I feel happy when
I open presents, and sit on Santa's
lap. But the best part is Jesus' birth-
day.
Christmas Poem
By Jessica Gingerkh
Grade 7, Zurich Publk School
Christmas is a time to hang the mis-
tletoe,
To put the lights upon the tree and
play in all the snow,
Christmas is a time to ride upon the
sleighs,
You look up at the window sills
and see the sunlight rays,
Christmas is a time to sing the car-
ols sweet,
And open up the presents that are
so very neat.
Merry Christmas!!
Christmas is Special
By Brandon Consltt
Grade 2, Hensall Public School
Christmas is special because you
get to put on the decorations. I like
to light the Christmas tree and put
on the star. I get presents too. I like
to make Christmas things for my
mom and dad. Christmas is fun and
I like the snow. The best thing is to
make a snowman. Santa gives us
toys.
The Santa Claus
By Jessica Murray
Grade 4, Grand Bend P.S.
In the North Pole, by the North
Pole, in a village at the North Pole,
Santa lives and Arnold Swartanger.
Where polar bears direct the traffic
and elves can fly with certain ma-
chinery. Santa and his elves have
to get ready for Christmas. The
reindeer have to be bathed, brushed
and groomed. Santa has to rest up
and do some work. The elves are so
busy they only have time for a
short lunch. They only have a tur-
key sandwich on rye bread, a glass
of orange juice and a snack pack
pudding and that's it. At supper
they take a taste test of the candy
(for dessert of course). Theh back
to work. Before they know it, it's
bed time. (Bath and brush your
teeth time too!) It's morning. An-
other hard day at work. A really
hard day at work because it's
Christmas. Breakfast, lunch and
dinner are over. It's almost bed
time. The elves help Santa. Then
they get ready for bed. Even they
have a Christmas.

The First Christmas
By Johanthan Loerchner
Grade 8, Huron Centennial P.S.
Three wise men travelled afar;
Following the large glistening star,
That told of the babe so bright,
Born upon this Christmas night,
And in that small stable, the name
of Jesus
Echoed in the harps of the angels
above,
Telling of young Jesus' love.
The shepherds peered into the sky
of night,
Their young faces betraying their
delight,
Mary looked down on her baby so
young,
And the first Christmas song was
sung,
Now for all to see and all to hear,
Baby Jesus brought the first Christ-
mas cheer:

Christmas Day
By Danny Masse

Christmas time is a fun time with
sledding and snowmobiling, cook-
