But this year was different from all the earlier years, because it was the year of 2000. Santa had just sent a letter to our little town. It,said: "Dear children" "Please do not leave any cookies or milk because my new electronic Santa Claus will be delivering all the presents. So be good. Love always, Santa Claus." All the children were very disappointed. Now it was Christmas Eve. All the kids went to bed very early, so that the new Santa would come. And before they went to bed they made sure that they didn't leave any cookies or milk. In the morning, Susan went down the elevator and opened her presents, but she was surprised because she had asked for a twin cabbage patch kid, and instead she got a dump truck. So that night she wrote a let- ter to the real Santa Claus, it said "Dear Santa Claus I was very disappointed with all my gifts, not that I needed them but they were all boys gifts. So don't bother letting that fake Santa come back., I'll miss you Santa Claus. Love always, Susan" When Santa read Susan's letter he was so sad that he fired the electronic Santa, and wrote back to the town of Goderich. "Dear town I'm very sorry about all your gifts but I'll be delivering all the new ones again. So I'll see you tonight. Love the real Santa" And ssci Christmas became a joyful one, just like the years before. Angie Larder Grade 8 Roberton P.S. MURRAY KELLY CHRISTMAS IN THE YEAR 2000 We were all sitting around the Christmas tree opening our presents. I was opening my fourth present. Another video game. Everything was all computerized now. My friends and family loved it. I hated it. My mom was opening her second present. It was a pair of pants with pac-man on them (Everyone is wearing them now). She also got a shirt with Mrs. pac-man on them so now she has a matching set. She also got socks with Mr. Do on them. Sometimes she acts just like a teenager. Well, I sure wish things were like the way when grandma explained it. Christmas trees, I mean real Christmas trees. One good thing came out of Christmas though. I got a home computer of my own.
