Claus family vacations designed by students
Continued from page 23
"Santa drinks lemonade on the
Goderich beach. He wears shorts
and a short -sleeved shirt to stay cool
and he sips his lemonade."
Matty
"Santa goes to Florida for a
vacation. He goes swimming in a
bathing suit that's red and white
because Santa loves red and white.
He plays on the beach too"
Peyton
"Santa stays and makes presents at
home all Christmas. Sometimes he
stops making presents to take a
break and the elves take over, but he
has to get back to work quick."
Carlie
"Santa doesn't take a vacation. His
vacation is delivering the presents.
That's his vacation and his job. I
don't know if he would take a
break"
Reese
"Santa takes a break and feeds the
reindeer carrots on the grass. The
grass is in his house at the North
Pole. After they eat the carrots he
gets back to work"
Kaylee
"Santa goes in the water at the
Goderich beach because it's very
warm there and the North Pole is
cold. I saw him there in the summer.
He was wearing a bathing suit. He
was fat and had a big white beard"
Bailey
"Santa goes on a holiday to the
beach. He goes to the Clinton beach.
He plays in the water. The reindeer
build sand castles while Mrs. Claus
stays at home and watches the elves
so they don't stop working."
Brynn
"Santa sleeps at his home while
Mrs. Claus bakes a lot to be ready
for Christmas. He wakes up and has
to find food quick."
Brook
"If I were Santa Claus, I would go
some place warmer like here. We
have beaches here he could go to,
but he wouldn't swim, he would just
hang around with someone at the
beach. Mrs. Claus would take care of
the elves"
Austin
"Santa would fly his sled in a
circle for his vacation because it's
really fun to do. Mrs. Claus would
want to go but Santa wouldn't let her
because he needs to practise flying
and she would make him fly slow"

Students at North Woods Elementary School were certainly getting into the Christmas spirit
thanks to that massive dump of snow last week. It allowed for all types of creativity out on the
playground. From left: Lexus Jenken, Madison Bragan, Alex Reid, Payton Piper and Olivia Van

home in Clinton.
She also has a Pound Puppy, a toy
popular in the 1980s, that has stayed
with her for decades.
King said it was a gift from her
father's work Christmas party one
year and it's just something she's
always kept.
When she grew up and established
her own career, the toy would
always be home waiting for her in
her bed when she returned.
One of King's more memorable
Christmases was the year that it was
so warm and green in December that
she convinced her family to have a
campfire for Christmas. The
community of Fordwich is still
talking about it, she said, for a
number of reasons.
Not only did the rare Christmas
campfire go ahead, but, due to a
combination of a lack of space in the
house and wanting to take advantage
of the unseasonably warm weather,
King slept in a tent in the yard. Her
sleeping quarters were visible from
the highway — an unusual sight in
the winter — and those in Fordwich
still talk about it to this day.
Many thanks to our

"Santa doesn't go on summer
vacation. He has to work.
Sometimes the elves build things but
he still has to watch them so they
don't stop working."
Miles
"I think Santa would sleep. He
would sleep at the North Pole and
Mrs. Claus would sleep too. The
reindeer would sleep too. The
elves wouldn't sleep, they have to
work"
