Donald R. Broadfoot Huron Centennial School Time for friends, family Christmas is the time of year, when friends and families should be near. Children singing, laughing and jigging. We tell stories of .long ago, about rudolf and San- ta Why? Nobody knows. Then on a cold winter night, there is but one bright little light. The wind howls and bowls, Why! I don't know. Swarling twirling all around, falling fall- ing down and down. ' Then I hear but one little noise, So I jump in my bed and make not one noise, Wandering, wandering what it might be? But it was only my Father saying goodnight to me. Shellie Stephenson Huron Centennial School A winter poem Christmas is the time of year, When snow flakes fall very near. The lights are bright on the tree, and the ordaments sing and laugh with glee. The children are snug in their bed, if Santa will not come OH I SHALL DREAD! For the children will be out of presents, And that won't be very pleasant. Jack Frost will be nipping at your nose. while icicles will be hanging on your nose. The wind will blow and howl, making the branches bend down and low. The animals search for food with all their might, through the icy, dark and stormy night. We must enjoy Christmas fast, for it will be over and past. Connie Bannerman Huron Centennial School Everyone was happy T'was Christmas morning And all through the house Everyone was happy Even the mouse. The stockings were quickly dumped. All over the floor piled and lumped. Jonny had joy, He had a new toy, It wiggled and winked, Why Jonny thought it "thinked." A dolly was sitting there, labeled with Sally, She could drink and wet, And be Sally's "pally." The new robe she got, Mommy just loved, Her old robe was tattered and torn, And now the new robe to breakfast could be worn. Daddy was happy, Althoug,h Jonny called him "pappy" He got a new tire pump, Out of the box it came, with a great thump: This is the end of the poem, I'm afraid, Cause I'm going to watch, the Santa Claus parade. Susan Kirton Huron Centennial School Amy Wilts Hullett Central A Christmas surprise By Amanda Butt "Good grief Mom," said Amy staring at the Christmas tree, "it looks shorter every year." "Well it goes down Christmas afternoon before we leave for your Grandma's," replied Amy's Mom. "She never gets a tree," Amy said soun- ding dull. "Why don't you buy her a mini -tree, you can get the for about $20," her Mom, Carol, suggested. "Sure, great idea. I have $30 saved up from babysitting," Amy said running up the maple stairs. "Mom, why did we get a piece of wood in our stairs with a knot that fell out." "What!" Carol said looking up the staircase. "See, I found it laying here," said Amy Christmas time Snow is falling in the cold With the wind very bold It is really cold outside The winter months are drawing nigh As the lights shine with pleasure The choir sings in merry measure 'With the shining stars so bright Reindeers prance on white rooftops As Santa makes all his stops Down the chimney there he goes Strait to his work then up with a blow Then he drives his sleigh on To his ice castle far beyond As he went the children rose To see what Santa for them chosse. Nancy Steckle Huron Centennial School Christmas poem Every year it comes and goes It's Christmas time everyone knows When the snow falls on the ground Christmas seems to be around. The Christmas tree is so fine And the star on top of it shines You can hear the Christmas bells Listen to the stories they tell. On"Christmas eve it snows and snows Outside the wind blows and blows However inside the house Everyone's as quiet as a mouse. As Christmas day dawns The white snow covers all the lawns School Christmas has just yet begun And you can see the rising sun. Nancy Lefaive Huron Centennial School holding up the knot. "Hi Grandma!" Amy said as she saw her Grandma, three weeks later. "Hello! Why look at the huge box. I wonder who it's for," said Grandma smiling. "Everyone is here," Carol said as they walked in. "Grandma, you have to open this now," said Amy while handing her the present. "Well -1-1," said Grandma. "Open it," a few others said. "Okay," Grandma said, opening the gift. "Why it's a Christmas tree! Thank you Amy, thank you. I usually don't get one because they never look like a Christmas tree should, but this one does." "Thank you," said Amy. "This will make it the best Christmas ever!" said Grandma smiling happily. MeMiNiMeniE It's Christmas Falling snow and chiming bells. Colored lights and cooking smells. Happy faces, music swells, Yet again the story tells, It's Christmas. Gift wrapped boxes, candy canes, Cardboard angels, snow filled lanes. Frost upon the window panes Yet again the fact proclaims It's Christmas. Family gatherings, Christmas trees Houses decked with holly leaves Doors adorned with bright green wreaths. Every body plainly sees It's Christmas. Steaming turkey, Candles red. Roast potatoes, ginger bread. Rich fruit pudding, all well fed! Symbols that have always said It's Christmas.
