On Christrnas Da`y about 4:00
I raced downstairs to see m.y

And 'to my surprise there sat
a new red car.
With a little man inside aboyut
2 inches wide. IIl
And drove like a hippy having
a ride,
And on his head he had a hat
And it was mde of kitty cat fat
And had blue eyes as little as
day,
And whe e laughed he said

All I want for Christmas is
my polka dot
From Santa Claus I wish a
polka dotted dish
And for my pal Spot a polka
dotted dot .
And for my baby kitten a pair
of golden mittens
And for my baby rat a polka
dotted hat
And for my mom a polka
dotted mat
And for my brother a Cin,
cinatti bat ""
Andfor my dad who gets
scarcely mad, , a bad', bad
polka dotted lad,
And that who leaves my
goldfish last will get a big big
gigantic blast -
And for Santa Claus I'll leave
a polka dotted ee
And for Mrs,. iaus-I think a
polka dotted sink
And for Rudolph the red nose
reindeer a polka dotted bed
Now let's close our eyes and
think of sugarplums dancing
in the sky. "'

Women's Year. I want to be a
participating woman," Mrs.
Claus said.
Mrs. Claus's decision
caused strong protest by the
reindeer and Santa Claus.
"I'm not having any wife of
mine out . work�,ing. If she
thinks, I'm gointo do the
housework while she's gone
she's crazy," Santa said.
Rudolph, head reindeer,
and spokesman for the herd
expressed concern over Mrs.
`Claus's ability as a driver'.
"She's never dri,, n the
sleigh before and' now she
expects us to trust her,
Rudolph said.
"She's going to cramp our.,
style," another reindeer said.
The elves however had no
objections to offer.
"I think it's a great i'dea,"
one of the elves said. "It'll
give Santa a well-deserved
break even if he doesn't see it
that way. Besides I think
International Women's Year
is a great idea. It's about time
women got out and did their
thing."
Mrs. Claus says she made
the decision only because it is
Intern conal Women's Year
and l felt she would be
doing her part,
"I don't intend to make this
an every year thing," Mrs.
Claus said. "After all that
would be taking Santa's job
away from him a d• he loves
it: , Besides he hates
housework."
"There are a few things
that have to be attended to
before Mrs. Claus makes the
trip. For one thing she has to
learn how4to give orders to
the reindeei'.'I' m going to get
Santa to Teach me.," Mrs.
class were singing their favorite Christmas ca, ols in the
Robertson' concert. (staff photo)
women's libber?
,,C\aus said.
Santa has different ideas.
"There's no way," he said.
"Just no- way. I refuse to•get
involved. If she learns how to
talk to the reindeer she'll
want to do this,every year and
I'M not about to let her."
Word leaked out today that
Santa had vetoed Mrs.
*Claus's decision and she has
decided to abide by his ruling.
"I still believe in harmony
at Christmas especially at the
North Pole and if that's the
only way of keeping it, then
that's the way it's got to be,"
Mrs. Claus said.
