It wasn't here so where did it go? Snow was predicted for that Christmas Eve, When it didn't show up it was hard to believe. "How could old Santa arrive in his sleigh?" The girls and boys to each other did say. As they lay down to sleep and dreams filled their heads. They tossed and they turned about in their beds. But when they woke up Their presents were there All wrapped up in paper and ribbon so fair. "How can this be! ," they shouted and cried. Who gave old Santa his Christmas Eve ride. They ran to the window and stared through the night. Just in time to see Santa roller skate out of sight. Galen Gower. Grade 6 Holmesville School It was Christmas Eve and there was no snow. I had hoped for a 'white Christmas. Now Santa would have trouble getting around and maybe he won't come at all without snow. That night I had a dream that Santa was coming. I couldn't think how though and then it came to me. He was coming on a skate board. Then I decided he was on roller skates. Then either way he would be coming in the door: So I jumped out of bed and ran to unlock the door. The next moring when I woke up there Christmas without any snow was still no snow. So I slumped down on my bed and said, "Some Christmas this is going to be without any snow." The rest of my family was waiting for me and we went down stairs and to my surprise Santa had been there and left all kinds of presents. We started opening the presents. I looked under the tree and found a toboggan and it was for me. It was made of wood. What a beauty! I said, "All We need now is some snow," and by noon it was snowing and by three o'clock we had a whole foot and a half. It was the best Christmas ever. By Bill Ingham Grade 6 Holmesville Public School 7 ANNOUNCING THE WINNERS! OF THE FIRST ANNUAL • : No snow, what do you mean no snow. Why that would be awful - no sledding, no outdoor skating, no snomobiling and worst of all how could Santa drive his sled on Christmas Eve? Oh well maybe he'll get a car. Well I've got some solutions for their problems. Some of them are fairly funny, then again some are quite logical. For instance, Santa's problem can easily be solved as far as getting around is con- cerned. He should get his elves to mount some wheels on the runners of his sled. This might cause some problems on the rooftops but other than that it might be all right. Now comes the problem of snomobiling. This might cause some problems if you're a little short on cash. All you have to do is buy an arena and fill it with snow. I'll admit that that one is a little crazy but I warned you. There's also the problem of skiing. This one is real easy. Just go to your local ski resort, they have sno making machines. But then again if you want a little adven- ture in your life this Christmas and you're prepared to pay a large hospital bill it just might be fun. This to might prove rather costly. First you need°a tall greenhouse with a slanted roof. All you'have to do is ski down the roof on the glass. Like I said it's kind of dangerous. Some of these stunts are very dangerous but I hope you have fun. Jeff Wain Grade 6 Holmesville School The Greenes were looking forward ,to Christmas. They found it hard getting into the Christmas spirit with no snow. They almost had all the Christmas shopping done and still there was no snow. Little Mq ;reene was getting tired of staring out 4. the window and imagining snow. She knew Santa could not come with no snow. She was very bored. "Why don't you go outside and play at the neighbors," suggested Mom. "No," replied Mary. "I was just over there." A while later Mary asked, "If there is no snow, how will Santa get here?" Her mother did not say anything. On Christmas Day they started opening their presents. Mary got a new pair of boots, a red sled, a pair of skiis and a new snow suit. She couldn't wait until the snow would come. Days and days passed. One morning Mary - woke up and locked out her bedroom win- dow. There was a centimetre of snow on the ground. She jumped up and got on her clothes. She skipped down the stairs, pulled on her new suit and boots then ran outside and rolled in the snow. She made messy and muddy snow angels, but she didn't care. After that Mary played with her skiis. A while later she came and found out that her mother was staring at her. "Oh No!" she thought as soon as she was inside. Mary slowly looked down. Her new snow suit was covered in mud. "Get that mud out of this house," com- manded mom. She was a mess! How could she have been so stupid! Her skiis were scratched too. Mary decided right then that she would wash her suit and wait for the snow to get deeper.
