There was loo much stuff to do. To be Santa you have to love the children and be nice which would be hard to do all the time. Rick Oliver Grade 7 Seaforth Public School W IW'(IC'1.1) NOT LIKE TO BE SANTA CLAUS I would not like to be Santa Claus because I would get very tired delivering presents all over the world. it is nice to get presents but to he Santa (Taus that is a different story. 1 like to be my self. You would have to get up early in the morning and start to work as soon as you get up. And 00 Christmas you would have to pack the sled and take off. And 1 would not get any ('hrist mas dinner, W ho would want to he Santa (Taus any way? Sheila Litt Grade3 Seaforth Public School '1'IIE(HUNCH W 11O STOLE CH RISTM AS Once there was a mean man sort of gie. And he heated Christmas. Every year he tried to find a way to keep Christmas from coming but every year he had no luck. Every year he got very very mad. Because every year they sang and the grinch heated singing. So this year he stole Christmas rethes, Christmas trees, all the food, and decoracions, but that diden't stop Christmas from coming and lam glad. Caroline Dyck Grade 2 Seaforth Public School A YEAR BOUND HOLIDAY Being Santa would be like being on a year round holiday, The only time I would have to work would be on December 24. And 1 could be in all of those Christmas parades. The rest of the year would be easy sailing. The best thing abput my being Santa would be I'd get to ride the sled that the reindeer pull. I'd also make all the kids happy, like a hero. Just thinking about being Santa is so much fun, I think I'll start in training right now , in case a replacement is ever needed. Stephen Pletsch Grade 7 Seaforth Public School MY FAMILY'S CHRISTMAS At our house, like most others, Christmas is a time to celebrate with many traditions. First, about a week before Christmas, we go to a small bush owned by a friend of ours to cut down a tree. W e decorate it about three days before Christmas. We usually have our grandparents and a few other relatives over. W hen we wake up on Christmas morning we empty our stockings. We aren't allowed to open our presents until after breakfast. After breakfast my brother and I hand out one present to each person. W hen everyone has opened one present we hand out another one. After that we talk a lot. We have a Christmas dinner at about one o'clock, Eventually our relatives leave and we start cleaning up all the paper. We wait for a few days before we take down the tree, W e never get tired of these traditions on that special day. •ti• :, e., ham .d,,^.

But there are some things about it that i would really like. For instance, I could bring lots of happiness to children's faces all over the world. Then there is that other great reason. That's right, i would have all those stories written about me or at least have my name in them. As a matter of fact 1 would be one of the most famous people in the world. lean just see myself now flying through the air with my nine reindeer, It would be great. i really would enjoy being Santa, even though I would have to watch my weight. All those goodies the children leave Santa are so tempting. Susan Rowcliffe Grade 7 Seaforth Public School WHY !WOULD NOT LIKETOBE SANTA CLAUS !would not like to be Santa Claus because I would be afraid i would get stuck in the chimney, or be late on Christmas Eve, i would be sad if f disapoint a little boy or girl or not have enough presents by Christmas Eve. My suit might rip in ahouse orsomthing like that. That's why I would not want to be Santa.

Our family was just falling asleep with excited thoughts about Christmas. I couldn't sleep because 1 was thinking too much about Christmas and how exciting it would be. Finally 1 feel asleep. Before i knew it, it was Christmas morning. i looked at my watch and it was 5:55, I figured i couldn't get back to sleep so i got up, woke my brother and we both went down stairs to examine the presents. It was 6:30 and our parents still weren't up so Stephen and 1 started to think of ideas to. wake them up. Stephen thought that if we give them breakfast in ted they would wake up faster. Michael Pearce So I made the coffee and Stephen engineered Grade e the toast. That did wake them up and finally Seaforth Public School Grade7 at 7:1111 they were up. it didn't take long to open the presents. It was only 9:00 and all the presents were opened. Stephen and I both agreed that Christmas always goes quickly. But it wasn't over yet because we always go to our grandma's place. Dad went outside to see how deep the snow was and to his amazement there was a metre of snow out there. Mom knew right away that we couldn't go because we had enough trouble with our four wheel drive when there was half that much snow. So mom phoned Grandma partly 'to wish her a Merry Christmas and partly to say that we wouldn't be coming down. And this ended the Christmas of 1988 for our family. Christmas- One very special day One special day when people pray When all their blues are thrown away, When we celebrate a special birth, And when there is peace on Earth A day when special love is there, W hen joyful songs fill the air. W hen a smile is nn every face. And happiness is every place. A day when friends come and stay. All in one very special day.
