We also put up our Christ- mas tree. I was getting a box ready for Operation Christmas Child. The next morning when I woke up, I said, "It's Christmas, It's Christ- mas," to mom and dad. Then we went in the living room to get our presents, but when we got there, there were no presents. Then 1 said, "Santa Claus was not here this year," "Oh well," said mom. "I guess we will have to have Christ- mas without presents this year." "But mom..." "No buts." "Okay mom. What's for dinner mom?" "Oh it's a surprise." "But I want to know now. I am going to play outside with our next door neighbour, okay? See you lat- er, Bye mom." "Bye." When dad got home I was still outside playing with my friends. We were playing tag. I was "it". I caught my friend Steven. Soon they had to go inside for dinner, but I was on my doorsteps, waiting for Santa Claus. Just then I heard bells ringing. I looked up in the sky and I saw Santa Claus and his reindeer going from roof to roof. I got up and ran downstairs. I saw Santa Claus putting presents under our tree. I saw him drink the milk and eat the cookies. I laughed at him because he had a milk moustache, but he saw me laughing at him. Then I ran back upstairs and went hack to sleep. Letter to Santa By Amber McCuligh Grade 2, Huron Centennial P.S. Dear Santa: How are your elves and reindeer? How is Mrs. Claus at making cook- ies? I hope they are good. Do you have a reindeer called Olive? This year I would like Gak. Yours truly, Amber If I Was An Elf... By Natasha Raymond Grade 2, Hensall Public School If I was an elf I would help Santa make toys. If I was an elf I would talk to Santa. If I was an elf I would listen to San- ta. If I was an elf I would ride in the sleigh. Happy Holidays Thanks to our customers and friends for your patronage.

Santa Claus By Alyssa White Grade 2, Hensall Public School Santa Claus is good. he gives presents. He is a nice person. Santa Claus Is Coming By Kendra Smith Grade 3, Exeter Public School Santa Claus is coming, You better get to bed, Because he is watching, For good boys and girls, To get presents, When he comes for them. Christmas By 'Carmel Smith Grade 1/2, Stephen Central P.S. The best Christmas was when I got a horse and cradle and my family was there. We made Christmas cookies. During the Holiday Season more than ever, our thoughts turn gratefully to those who have made our progress possible. And in this spirit we say, simply but sincerely flhank you and BestWishes for the Holiday Season' and a Happy New Year From the management and staff of CDMETAL PRODUCTS LTD, Christmas Is for Giving By Annamarie Bedard Grade 7, St. Boniface School Once upon a time there lived a rich king in Salfar. He was a very greedy and selfish man. He had no queen because no woman would marry such a conceited man, even if he was rich! Salfar was a very poor city. It was surprising that it was poor because in the city lived a king. The king was the only one that had money out of the whole city. Since the king had so much money, he didn't ever have to leave the castle for a job or to shop. Everything he ever wanted or need- ed, he already had! The king hadn't seen outside the castle walls since he was born! Christmas was coming in a week or so and the king was still very selfish. The maids tried telling him about the real meaning of Christ- mas but all he could think about was presents and money. "What am I getting for Christmas? What should I buy myself this year?" were the questions he often asked himself when Christmas came around. For the king didn't realize that there were other people in the city that weren't as wealthy as him and when Christmas came around they didn't get love, a home or presents. All he thought about was himself! One day the maids got very furi- ous with the king because they had seen what it was like outside and the king refused to go and see him- self! So they stopped working for him and laid around all day like he usually did. The king didn't realize why the maids were being so stub- born. So he finally went to see the outside for himself. He went out- side and saw all the people on the streets, homeless and unhappy! Since it was Christmas Eve, the king opened up his big heart and took the homeless and unhappy people into the castle and fed them a scrumptious meal!. Then he let all of the people stay for the night so they wouldn't be alone on Christ- mas Day. The next morning everybody woke up and opened presents. The maids were so happy for the king and the king was proud of himself! They had never seen so many smiles! I guess Christmas isn't for getting, it's for giving. Miracle on 1-75 By Chris Boyes Grade 6, Grand Bend P.S. It was a cold day in December. Joe was walking around town. Things were pretty boring in a small town like Timbuctoo. For once in his life time, Joe would ac- tually do something different: he would jump in a garbage dumpster. No! he would walk along I-75 which was quite a ways away from his little town. He walked and walked until finally, he reached Exit 12 off 1-75. He was amazed at all the people with signs in there that said "Florida or bust". He even saw a few motorcycle gangs doing the same thing. Joe walked non-stop until he was run over by a reindeer then by sev- en more after that, and then he was pulled up onto a sleigh by a huge man. They flew up above the clouds and the man dropped him off at West Palm Beach where a band of hippies tried to hold him upside down and make him meditate. Joe ran away from the hippies and spent Christmas in Florida. From that day on, he had been a part of the miracle on I-75. Who's Santa By Christina Davies Grade 7/8, Usborne Central P.S. Last night, when 1 was sitting on the steps, I saw Santa. Bushy, white beard, great big stomach, it was Santa. The thing that surprised me was he walked through the door, and we have a chimney. 1 shouted gleefully "Santa! You're here!" He jumped almost a metre in the air, landed on the floor and 1 no- ticed that his hair had slipped off his egg-shaped head. 1 looked at him and gasped loudly. He slid his hand around his bald head. "Darn! My hair!" He searched madly, then looked at me with my mouth hanging wide open and my eyes bulging like tennis balls. What had I done? He looked a little mad, especially when he ripped off his beard so fluffy and white. Don't tell him I told you, but he looked at lot like my dad. The next day I scurried down the stairs skipping a step. When I got downstairs I tore open all my presents. I had everything I wanted and more. What else could I ask for? Welt...I could have asked for a ride in Santa's sleigh. Boy, maybe I'll wait on the steps next year. This time I won't forget to ask him about it. Better yet, I think I'll ask my dad. Christmas By Nicole Bulanda Grade 7, St. Patrick's School Snowflakes falling to the ground, When friends and family gather round, Candles glowing very bright, So carolers can sing at night. Santa Claus is on his way, In his big red Christmas sleigh, Bringing presents for you and me, To put underneath our Christmas tree. Children going to sleep at night, Dreaming of presents with delight, Children running down the stairs, Looking at presents that are theirs. A creche is underneath the tree, Baby Jesus looking, up at me, Mother Mary calms his cry, A star shining brightly in the sky. Jesus Christ was born this day, In a manger far away, Now, I say without a doubt, That's what Christmas is about. appy 91ofiday wishes to all our wonderful customers We enjoy serving you Nancy and Ted Ducharme Vehicle Licence Office Ted's Replacement Windows Zurich 236-4830 Letter to Santa By Alesia Kurlek Grade 2, Huron Centennial P.S.

Love Alesia Christmas By Ricky Regier Grade 4, St. Boniface School The most important things about Christmas are... • Seeing the Christmas lights all over • Helping my mom make Christmas cookies for Santa • Lighting a candle of Advent • Hearing the stories about baby Je- sus and the star above the stable • Giving each other presents. My Christmas Wish By Stacey Pfaff Grade 3, Exeter Public School 1 wish we would just get 10 cm of snow that would lightly cover the ground. Then we would sit and feast and feast. Me and my mom and dad and brother will open the presents. I wish that all of the other people in the world would have a Christmas like me.
