The house was quiet and still all except that old grandfather clock at the top of the stairs. Ding -dung, ding-dong as it struck twelve mid- night. The children set out cookes and milk, then went to bed. A little while later jolly old St. Nick came bouncing down the chimney! As quick as a wink he put stuff in he stocking, than went back up. Do you believe that myth? The day before Christmas, all our family gets together for a big Christmas supper. On Christmas morn we would run down the stairs and open our gifts from mom and dad. We would susually have a light lunch, then go out snowmobiling, which was of great fun. When we come in, mom would have a pot of hot chocolate on for us. Then we went into the living room and passed out the gifts that we had for each other. By that time we were all hungry! It was a good thing too, because we had another big meal and some Christmas cake that mom made. After supper we were all tired, filled and thankful for all the gifts. Christmas is one of my favorite time of the year. - By - Mark Bachert, Grade 8, Seaforth Public School THE FIRST CHRISTMAS The first Christmas was when Jesus was born. Jesus was born on Christmas. He was born in a stable. Mary knew He was very special to her because God told Mary she was going to have Jesus. Mary was very happy to be Jesus mother. As Jesus got older, Mary taught Jesus to pray and how to help her and Joseph. That's how Christmas began. - Michelle Feeney, Grade 3, St. Columban CHRISTMAS LONG AGO Long long ago a man named Jesus invented Christmas. Christmas is Jesus' birthday so be thankful you have a Christmas. I don't mean be thankful because you get gifts, Christmas is a time to think about Jesus. Jesus gave us life. He is the best man on earth. Well he used to be on earth. Christmas is a good time to be good to your mother and father because then Jesus will really love you. Christmas is the best time of the year. I like Christmas and you should too. Christmas is my favourite time because we get to wake up and play animal—rummy. Once its time to go downstairs and open our presents we all go "Hip hip hurray". - by Steven Poppe, Grade 3, St. Columban THE MOUSE THAT RUINED AND SAVED CHRISTMAS In a place called Hank everyone was getting their Christmas letters back. The Vink Mo family was not happy. Darrell and his sister Julie started to cry. Santa's elf had writ- ten to say they would not be coming to Honk this year because Santa had received a nasty letter. The mice family in the house heard the children crying. The dad mouse said, "Scratchy id you write that mean note to Santa?" Scratchy said "Yes, but I only did it because last year Santa never gave me a truck." The dad mouse said, "You ruined Christmas." The Dad that lived in the house was a clock maker. He made a clock that. at midnight, would sing to Santa. He brought it to the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister said "That is a great idea." So everyone came and the dad started the clock, but it went heserk. Everyone said "b000000000000000." Then the dad mouse asked "Did you brake that clock?" Scratchy said "Yes, I did. It was fun." The dad mouse was so mad. He said "get to your room". Then on Christmas night Scratchy said to his dad,"1 am going to fix the clock." His dad said "You don't know a thing about clocks." Then Scratchy got a dock book and went to fix the clock. He got done dust in time. When Santa went by the clock wig. Then Santa said "I think I will give them toys." and he did. - by Darrell Scho ndcrwoezd, Grade 1, St. Columban HERE COMES SANTA CLAUS, RIGHT DOWN OUR CHIMNEY It usually all starts the day after Christmas when all of Santa's hel- pers (which are known as elves) they start making those wonderful toys for our dear Santa to deliver. You see on Christmas Eve, our dear Santa goes to all the houses of the little children to deliver their gifts. Except everyone always wonders, HOW Santa gets down our chimney. Well this is why I'm writing this short piece, to tell all the mom's, dad's, aunt's, uncle's, grandma's, grandpa's and all you little children. HOW SANTA CLAUS COMES DOWN THE CHIMNEY. You see many people say he flies on his reindeer to the top of your house, and slides down the chim- ney. Others say he gets to the top of your house and touches his nose. Then with a twitch of his nose, he disappears into your house just as quick as the snap of your fingers. Well to tell you all the truth, what really happens is ...On Christmas Eve, the reindeer eat up some magical broccoli and makes it so they can fly. Then Santa eats some pea soup. What he doesn't know is, ther is magical dust in his soup. When Santa arrives at your house, he lands on your roof and ever so quietly goes to the chimney. With the touch of his nose he gets on the top of your chimney and slides all the way down to the bottom. You see he touches his nose so that he doesn't hurt himself when he lands. Then he quietly delivers the gifts and goes to the fire place. With the touch of his nose he dashes up the chimney to his wonderful reindeer and he dashes off to the next house. - By Sabrina Wernham, Grade 8, Seaforth Public School JESUS BIRTH Long long ago there lived a young woman named Mary who was engaged to Joseph. Joseph was a carpenter. One day an angel appeared before her and said "You will have a baby boy and he will be named Jesus Christ, The Son of God", and Mary said " I am the Lord's servant, I will do what he says". Then it was jsut a little later and they had to go pay their taxes. Mary got to ride the donkey because she was pregnant. When they arrived at the inns, the in- nkeepers all said that they did not have room. One man showed them to a stable. That is where they stayed for the night. That night Mary had a baby. Three kings came to worship Jesus. The kings gave him frankincense and myhrr. - by Cassandra Vink, Grade 3, St. Columban. CHRISTMAS IN THE COUNTRY Christmas in the country is special to me. My brother Lawrence and my sister Carrie and I go sleding down the hill, go skating in Seaforth, go skiing around our yard. We go to Christmas parties all over the place. And sometimes we just stay in the house and play games. It's most fun when we go shopping and up the tree. I like it when we put on all the ornaments. 1 get all excited when it's about five or three days before Christmas Eve. The best thing I like is when we go to my Grandma and Grandpa's house for Christmas. I can't wait till Christmas Eve. That's why Christmas is special me. - Andrea Flanagan, Grade 5, St. Patrick's School, Dublin. CHRISTMAS STORY Long Long ago there were two people named Mary and Joseph. One day and angel came to them and said "You will be having a baby and he would be named Jesus". But the next day they had to go to Bethleham to pay their taxes so they travelled to Bethlehem. When they got ther Mary was going to have her baby. So they went to the Inn's but everywhere the answer was no! Finally one said "1 have a stable over there 0 you can rent there" When they got there Mary had baby Jesus. Every year we celebrate Jesus' birthday an Christmas. - by Curtis Murray, Grade 3, St. Columban School. CHRISTMAS IN THE COUNTRY Ding Dong, the clock strikes 12:00 noon. The dinner smells great and it's almost time to eat. The whole family is there, Grandma Grandpa all my uncles and aunts, and my little cousins. There are about 30 people in the old farm house. It's a big house, last year we had Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's house. It was real crowded but there is lots of room at our house. The only problem is that I'll have to clean up after. It's almost time to eat dinner and everyone is sitting down. It takes about an hour to eat. After the adults play cards, and the children go outside into the snow, everybody sits down at about 3:00 and the children tell everyone what they got from Santa. One of the adults tells about his/hers childhood. Everybody exchanges gifts. The kids try out their new toys and the adult usually try on new sweaters and stuff. The kids go out side for a bit more playing in the snow. The adults sit around and talk about everything. Around 7-8 everything starts to slowdown. We start to clean up the house and take down the decorations and next year Christmas is going to be at someone else's place. - By Steve McInally, Seaforth Public School HOW SANTA GOES UP AND DOWN.THE CHIMNEY One Christmas, mom decided that she would hire a Santa Claus to deliver the presents so Katie's belief in Santa Claus would be restored. He was to bang around so Katie would wake up and see that there really was a Santa Claus. Mom and Dad both stayed up to watch, leading each other to believe that they were in bed sleeping. By the time, Mom's Santa arrived, Dad's Santa was already there. Both of them were making so much noise that it woke up Katie. By the time she woke the Santa's both realized that there were two of them, so they hid. Mom and Dad both jumped in and Katie caught them removing the gifts. She thought that both Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus were there. Mom and Dad, being so shocked to say anything, just agreed and sent her back to bed. Both Santa's came out of hiding and helped Mom and Dad put the rest of the presents under the tree. I then drew the conclusion that Santa does up and down the chim- ney by the front door. - By Sarah Powell, Grade 8, Seaforth Public THE FIRST CHRISTMAS THAT WAS NOT GOING TO COME One day close to Chriattinas in the north pole Santa Claus was feeding reindeer. When he was dune he went to his house to go to sloe because he had a very vary lung travel tonight because it was itumg to be Christmas eve. After five hours of sleeping Sagas wife woke hina up because it was time for turn to hook up his reindeer But when Santa Claus got to the stable reindeer were all sick. So Santa ran to his wife and told her about the reindeer and his wife said OH NO we've sot to make them get better fast. So Sauna and his wife starved to give the reindeer all sorts of medicin. But nothing worked not even the strongest rein- deer mediccn they had Santa: wife said were just going to have to cancel Christmas. OH NO not as i cel Christmas 1'1 find a way to keep Christmas coming. Honest 1 well said Santa. So Santa asked one of his elves if he could borrow his radical ripper so he could delivered his gifts. And the elve said yes and of Santa flow. And preuy soon all the gifts were delivered and Santa went back to his house. And when morning came all the children were happy. So was Santa and his wife. - by Mau Roser, St. Columban SANTA On day there was a jolly old man who was named Santa. He delivered presents all over the world even to the poor children. He never missed one house. One day he did miss a houes. He had to go back! The girl who lived in that house wok up. She saw Sant she was surprised Sant said. Folow me I will take you to my work shop. They went there. They were looking for a while. Let us go now. They got home. She was sad when she left. When she wok up she saw all the presents under the Christmas tree. Her mom and dad came down the stairs and they smiled happily the rest of the day was fun for them. - By Ryan Rader, Grade 3, St. Columban THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS What is the true meaning of Christmas? It may be a time to get all of those gifts you have wanted all year or maybe a time to get to see all of your relatives that you never get to see. Christmas is a time to Celebrate the birth of Christ who was born in an old stable in Bethlehem on December 25. The wise men came and gave presents of gold, frankin- sence and myrrh. The angels came and watched over their new king. Christ was born. This Christmas, remember the true meaning of it and Remember to give is better than to receive. - By Callen Callins, Grade 8, Seaforth Public School THE ELVES GO TO SANTA'S VILLAGE Once there were four elves. They got lost in the snow on their way to Santa's Village. Their names were Dozy, Snoozy, Lazy and Larry. One day Snoozy and the elves saw Santa. They screamed and yelled but Santa couldn't hear them. They tried to follow him but they just got more lost. "When Santa Comes back we'll send him a smoke let- ter," said Larry. When Santa came back, they tried to start a fire but, it was too cold. The i re kept on going out. The next morning there was two meters of sa iow on the ground. They were burried under a meter of snow. In two days there was four meters of snow. One day a hunter came and found the elves. He saved them and took them to Santa's village. The elves were so excited. - Greg Kroonen, Grade 3, St. Columban.
