CHRISTMAS IN THE YEAR 2001
A COMPUTERIZED CHRISTMAS
Santa complained to Mrs. Santa one year
in December. "I'm just too old for this work,
I'll have the elves make a computerized sl-
ed."
Without reindeer the process will take less
time. The reindeer were offended so they
took Christmas off to visit their detested
cousins the Caribou.
The elves for the next few weeks were
very busy attaching the osolator to the ther-
mal overdrive and the thigmatron. to the
whatchama gig. Then finally after myriads
of work and planning, the sled was finished.
It took Santa a week to inspect the sled. He
checked the auto-pac machine the radar and
most important the toys. -
11:55 and all was supposedly well. The sl-
ed was filled with wonderful gadgets and
ready to g�. The count down began. A
perfect lift off NASA couldn't do any better.
The programed route was quickly
monitored and everything was all right. The
sled manovered to escape the space shuttle
and from there on everything was bad.
The sled returned right on schedule, but
already angry children could be heard. The

sled had delivered everything wrong. Jill m
Texas got Jack's present who lived in
Switzerland.
Santa had to do something. The elves
whipped up a hyperdrive wheel chair. 10
minutes later the chair was sailing over the
skies of the world.
It took two' hours for Old Santa to make
almost all the right deliveries. Just before
his last one his chair broke down. Santa got
the_last present in time for Easter.

CHRISTMAS IN THE YEAR 2000
My name is John Stamos, and I am here to
tell you how I think Christmas will be in the
year 2000.
You know how Santa has nine reindeer,
well in 2000 he will not have a single one, he
will have a spaceship so he can just drop the
presents and he will be faster.
When you go Christmas ,shopping you
won't have to walk around the store. You
can just stand at the front of the door and
press the buttons for what ever you want.
And for wrapping your presents it will be
A very Merry Christmas to a11,
and to all a hearty "thank you!"

just as easy as shopping. Just press a but-

The Christmas trees are either gold or

CHRISTMAS IN THE YEAR 2000
WILL IT BE GOOD OR BAD?
It is hard to say what the world will be like
in the year 2000, for that is 15 years away,
but here it goes.
I expect the toy industry to go no in price
and quality. The cabbage patch doll would
be a thing of the past and never be seen
again.
and bombs in their G.I. Joe sets and soon
want the real dieing. They would beg their
parents for automatics .and insist that real
grenades are great stocking stuffers. This
would set the death rate in Canada 50 per-
cent higher. CHRISTMAS WITHOUT COMPUTERS
Most of the great Christmas spirit had Yep, your right! Time to hitch up the
been, forgotten and people would not sleigh. Well, at least it's not as hard as it
remember the true Christmas Spirit. - was sixteen years ago. I got my trusty old
computer now. My Radio Shack P.C.S.
which stands for Personal Computer of San-
ta.
I can remember sixteen years ago in 1984
' when I would be out in the snow hitching up
Prancer and Dancer and Comet and Vixon
,and all the rest. But I'm getting old now and
need my rest before the big night.
I'll never forget that night Mrs. Claus
tried to get me to postpone it, but I said no
way I was going to get it done all in one
night-
It
.It all started that morning when I was
rushing around making and buying presents
for everyone in the whole world. I caught the
flu. I was almost dead when I thought of all
the kids. I had to get out there. I hooked up
my sled, packed my sack and hitched the
reindeer. By that time, it was midnight.
I got my two best elves and all the deer
and off we went through Canada, United
States, Australia and China, until I was at
every house in the world. When I got back I
opened my garage with my new Stanley
garage door opener that Mrs. Claus got me
that Christmas. I slept for three weeks
straight before I shook that cold.
Thank God for computers. You know
some day a computer might be able to do
my whole job. What am I saying? I hope
• nobody heard me! I might lose my career or
even my sleigh!

Real Christmas trees would not be used
and -artificial ones would,be bought by the
gross. There would be aluminum trees
painted pink made .from old recycled pop
cans and bed springs.
Unfortunately Santa `Claus and his
reindeer would have faded away from our
minds leaving no fun and joy for the
children of the world.
What is a Christmas without snow? Pro-
bably in the 2000 year no snow will reach
earth due by the future heavy pollution in
our skies. With no snow many ski resort
owners, snow mobile manufacturing com-
panies, and snow shoe makers would be
unemployed. Then the world would have a
major crises in their hands.
Probably most or any of my ideas will not
occur in the 2000 year and I certainly hope
so, for I like Christmas just the way it is.

Dear Santa,
I would like the Gobot's command center,
a transformer and a race set.
And I think I should have them because I
read stories to people, and I kept people
company and I also used my best manners.
Love,

Dear Santa,
For Christmas I would like a Transforwer
Transportation Trucks, Snakemountain,
Knight 2000 Voice car, a Dragon Walker,
Space Lego (3 sets), a Ghetto Blaster (large
size) and Cobra Kahn. I would also like a
Zoid Monster. I think I should get them
because I haven't got into many fights with
my brother.
P.S. Only Come To My House.
