By Julie Steeper and Mandy
Thomson
McGillivray Public School
The Christmas tree was big and
bright,
The stockings were hung oh just
right,
The children's eyes were filled
with joy,
Wailing for their Christmas toys.
Inside the candle glowed so bright,
Outside the wind howled in the
night.
The homes were filled with good
cheer,
Merry Christmas and a happy new
year.
Christmas
By Stacey Case
Grade 6, Stephen Central P.S.
Christmas is a time for caring,
And a time for sharing.
Christmas is a time for hugging,
And a time for loving.
Christmas is a time for presents,
Or a time for pheasants.
Christmas is a time for girls,
And a time for boys.
It is a time for joy!
How Santa Came To
Be
By Sean Fletcher
Grade 2, Hensall Public School
Once there was an old man. His
name was Santa Claus. His friends
were elves. The elves had .flying
reindeer and a sleigh. They made
toys.
Christmas Dinner
By Tasha Isaac
Grade 6, Stephen Central P.S.
The family all gathers on this spe-
cial day
To have a good visit and some
might just stay.
The dinner is cooked. Everything is
quite hot,
If I don't sit down soon, I won't
have a spot.
Please pass the potatoes, the gravy,
the meat,
And when we're done, we'll have a
treat.
Cookies and squares! Oh, how de-
lightful!
My eyeballs bug out and my stom-
ach is frightful.

The Christmas Family
By Samantha McKay
Grade 3, Exeter Public School
One day it was Christmas for the
mouse family. All the little mice
were hanging their stockings by the
chimney. They were all happy be-
cause today was Christmas eve. All
the little mice were named Jane
Smarts. The family were all putting
up the Christmas tree, and the Dad-
dy mouse said, "time for bed." "We
will go to bed", said Smart. But
Jane didn't want to go to bed, but
she did. She wanted to see Santa. In
bed she could hear footsteps. She
said, "Santa" and she ran out the
door. But it was only her mom and
dad. Her mom and dad said, "Why
are you out of bed?" "I thought you
were Santa." "Go back to bed."
"When is Santa coming?" asked
Jane. Mom said, "He is coming at
12:00 a.m." "Oh, okay, bye." Smart
started snoring. 7.77. Jane said
"Smart be quiet!". "Why?" "Be-
cause Santa will hear you." Smart
said, "Santa's here." "No he is not.
But he will be back at 12:00 a.m.,"
said Jane. "Oh good night, 777.7",
said Smart. Jane had a scary dream.
It was about her mom going away
to Africa. Jane yelled, "Ahhh!" Her
mom and dad came running in the
door. "What is the matter?" they
asked. "I had a dream about mom
and she died," said Jane. Mom said,
"No I did not die, I'm here." "Mom
you are alive," said Jane. "No I'm
not dead," said mom. "Yes you
are," said mom. "Shh" said the
Dad. Then Jane went to bed. the
next morning Jane and Smart went
downstairs and opened their
presents. Then they said, "Thank
you Jesus for the nice gift."
Christmas
By Steve Guenther
Grade 8, Zurich Public School
This time of year is for a lot of
cheer,
We have this cheer because of the
time of year,
We open our presents that are un-
der the tree,
We find something in them and
then yell yippee.

Christmas
By Ryan Denomime
Grade 3, St: Boldface School
Christmas is a time of year when
time is spent and laughter is heard,
Presents are brought from Santa
and friends,
When hot cocoa is served and
Christmas cakes too.
The sight of Christmas lights and
greeting signs,
But most important of all is Jesus'
birthday.

Baby Jesus
By Tonya Westman
Grade 7, St. Patrick's School
In Bethlehem, so long ago,
In a manger, we all know,
A child was born that wondrous
night,
And in the sky a star shone bright.
Three wise men came travelling
far,
Bearing gifts they followed the star,
They reached the stable where Je-
sus lay,
And praised the Lord on that fine
day,
He gave his Son, our Lord above,
To teach us to live in the glory of
his love.

Christmas Eve
By Shannon O'Shea
Grade 7, St. Patrick's School
Aunts and uncles from far and near,
Come to celebrate with lots of

Frosty windows, falling snows,
Pretty gifts and bright red bows.

Santa Claus is around the bend!
Christmas Story
By Cassandra Morrissey

For Santa to come,

And then I'll know it's Christmas.

A Christmas Wish
By Meghan Stuart
Grade 3, Exeter Public School
I wish, I wish
A Christmas wish.
That the world will
Be filled with happiness
On Christmas day, on Christmas
day,
The world will be filled,
With happiness forever,
There will not be any more,
Wars and fighting,
Because the people of the world
will be
At peace with each other.
