The Citizen, 2012-12-20, Page 16PAGE 16. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2012.Maitland River students play Santa’s decorator
Mrs. Evers’ Grade 1 class at
Maitland River Elementary School –
Turnberry Campus, had some
unique ideas when it came to
answering the question, “What does
Santa Claus’ house look like?”
“I think it looks cold. I know he
has elves there to help him and Mrs.
Claus helps him by doing chores in
the igloo. His house is an igloo that
looks like a workshop with a roof on
it. It looks like penguins live
there and he has a sleigh and the
reindeer and they stay in the
penthouse.”
Austin M. from the Brussels
area.
“Santa’s house is a red one with
big green spots. It’s a small house
with a big workshop and he also has
a post office in the house too for all
the letters he receives.”
Maddy B. from the Brussels
area.
“It looks like a regular house
except for the roof. The roof is big
and red with green squares that show
him where to land his sleigh after he
gives out all the toys.”
Alayna B. from Wingham.
“Santa’s house looks like his white
beard with red and green stripes
through it and a big chimney. The
workshop looks like a regular
workshop but it’s smaller because it
has dwarves inside it, not elves. The
dwarves live underground, so
Santa’s house doesn’t have to be
very big to keep them in it.”
Brett B. from Wingham
“I think Santa’s house looks like a
red and green house with lots of
snow on it and lots of decorations
around it. It’s a big house because
the workshop is there and all the
elves and Mrs. Claus and the
reindeers and the sleigh and Frosty
and the Little Drummer Boy all have
to live there.”
Garrett C. from the Belgrave
area.
“Santa’s house is a log house, but
it’s a big one, a lot bigger than the
houses around here. He has a lot of
toys there that the elves make and
his workshop is another log house
beside his log house.
Nicholas C. from outside of
Wingham.
“Santa’s house is a big red house
because he have to fit in all the elves
that work in his workshop. He also
has to keep all the reindeer there and
Mrs. Claus, Mrs. Claus needs a place
to keep his suit bright and clean
because he only has one.”
Telly C. from Bluevale
“I think Santa’s house looks red
with swirls on the front. I saw a
show and that’s what it looked like.
It was a big house because he is a
very big man.”
Dylan D. from Wingham
“Santa’s house is a big one but it
doesn’t have any windows so that
people can’t see what they are
getting for Christmas. It has a
kitchen and bedrooms and all that
stuff and a workshop with long
benches in it for the Elves to sit on
and work at.”
Mary H. from outside of
Wingham.
“Santa’s house is full of candy, but
it’s not made of candy, but there are
candy canes for the laneway so you
can find it in the North Pole whenthere is a lot of snow. It’s a big house
because Santa couldn’t fit in it
otherwise.”
Gabby J. from the Wingham
area.
“I think Santa’s house is a normal
house and just made of wood. It’s
red and green and would be very big
because Santa needs a big house to
fit in.”
Landreanna L. from Wingham.
“I think Santa’s house is a big one
because they have to make and keep
a lot of presents and live in the house
too. The elves have to live there I
mean. They’re small but there are so
many of them that it takes a lot of
space.”
Kurtis M. from Belgrave.
“I think Santa’s house is made of
red bricks, has a blue chimney and a
sign that says welcome to Santa’s
workshop. He has a really big
Christmas tree, like huge, and he has
a bucket of winter hats and a
Christmas tree blanket and he has
pet polar bears around that protect
the house and make sure no bad kids
steal presents.
Morgan N-B. from Wingham.
“I think that there are candy canes
all over Santa’s house on it and thatthere are candies all around it on the
ground with red and white stripes,
and there are stars on it and all sorts
of pictures on it of elves and their
families and Mrs. Claus.
Melina P. from between
Wroxeter and Bluevale.
“Santa’s house looks like a
Skylander’s house, so I think he
would like the Skylander that has fur
around his neck since their houses
are the same.”
Keaton R. from Wingham.
“Santa’s house looks like the
North Pole, it looks like the red and
white pole up there. He lives in the
red and white pole, but it’s tall and
wide so people can fit in it and live
in it.”
Owen S. from outside of
Wingham.
“Santa’s house is shaped like
Rudolph with a great big glowing
red light above his workshop so he
can see it and so his sleigh can find
his house in the dark.”
Haven S. from Wingham.
Absent from the class were
Johnathan A., Bradley C. and Philip
H. the day the students answered the
question.

How Santa lives
Mrs. Evers’ Grade 1 class at Maitland River Elementary School’s Turnberry campus had some
great ideas when it came time for them to imagine Santa Claus’ home and tell The
Citizen what they believed it looked like. (Denny Scott photo)
