The Citizen, 2012-12-20, Page 22PAGE 22. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2012.Students speculate on Claus family origins At Hullett Central Public School, Mrs. Thompson’s Grade 1 class had some unique ideas about how Santa and Mrs. Claus met and, surprisingly, none of them included online dating. “Santa and Mrs. Claus met in a winter wonderland when they were playing tag. Santa tagged Mrs. Claus and then they fell in love.” Ashley K. from Seaforth. “Mrs. Claus and Santa were at a dance party in London and they saw each other. Santa thought she was cute so they got married and then got a lot of elves.” Macey A. from outside of Clinton. “Santa and Mrs. Claus were going down a hill sledding together, they were having fun and then they got to the bottom they wanted to get married. The hill was far, far away somewhere and they fell in love on it.” Kiersten B. from Auburn. “When Santa was getting ready to deliver all the presents, Mrs. Claus was sneaking in the North Pole and she saw him through the window. Then they went somewhere together to a party and got married after.” Caitlyn B. from Auburn. “Maybe the elves said to Mrs. Claus that she should get together with Santa. They set up a meeting in Blyth because all of their friends live there.” Kayla C. from Auburn. “Maybe an elf knew them both and introduced them to each other at the North Pole near Santa’s workshop. They made toys together and had some cookies together and then they went to bed together. Then they got married.” Shea C. from the Blyth area. “Santa and Mrs. Claus first grew up together in London then they started going out last Friday. They aren’t really married, they just have the same name and live together and share a bed to stay warm. On Friday, they got dinner at Crabby Joe’s and then they went to get a drink, then they went to make toys and then they gave the toys away.” Connor D. from Blyth. “Mrs. Claus and Santa were snowboarding and then they got married. They were snowboarding in Blyth because there’s usually a lot of snow there by the arena. They got married in Londesborough because the church there is nicer than the one in Blyth.” Cassie E. from Londesborough. “Maybe Mrs. Claus took Santa’s sleigh without asking and they met when he had to get it back. They saweach other and then got married inClinton because they like Clinton.”Sophia G. from Londesborough.“Maybe Santa and Mrs. Clauswere at a friend’s house on the otherside of the country. They were meeting with their friend, since they were both friends with him. They decided to marry each other. They got married at a ball.” Nathan H.-L. from Blyth. “Maybe Mrs. and Mr. Claus met when they saw each other in the only coffee shop in the North Pole, or maybe at the only hot chocolate shop or maybe the elves introduced them. Anyway, they had a snowball fight with each other and when theywere done they wanted to marryeach other.”Kaleb M. from Blyth.“Santa and Mrs. Claus met atsomeone else’s wedding. I don’tknow what happened, because I wasn’t there, but they went on a date to a pizza place in Blyth because that’s closer to the North Pole than Londesborough is. They fell in love when they ate pizza together.” Landyn M. from Londesborough. “Maybe, because Santa and Mrs. Claus were both delivering presents, they met each other. Then they got Over the past few years, the use of candles in the home has greatly increased — and so has the number of fires caused by candle misuse.
