The Citizen, 2010-12-23, Page 10PAGE 10. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2010.Brussels PS students ponder how Santa gets inWe asked the Brussels Public
School Grade 1 Class...
How does Santa get in your
house?
“Santa has magic that he uses to
get into every house. I saw a movie
that showed him using it.”
Griffin
“We had a chimney, but we took it
down, but our spare room still has a
chimney Santa can come in.”
Katherine
“We have a chimney that Santa
comes in.”
Aliyah
“Santa comes in through our
chimney, and he brings big presents
in through the door once he comes
in.”
Saige
“Santa uses the door, but he makes
so he’s really quiet and we can keep
sleeping. He also makes it really
quiet when he goes through our
gate.”
Brendan
“Santa walks in through the door.
I think he has a magic key that opens
all the doors.”
Noah
“Santa comes in through our
upstairs fireplace and uses magic to
squish the presents too big to fit
down there.”
Joel
“We turn our fireplace off for
Christmas so Santa can get in, but
we don’t have a chimney. My dad
cracks the fireplace open with a
jackhammer so he can get in.”
Erin
“Santa comes in through the door,
but I’m a sound sleeper. I listen to
music when I sleep, so I wouldn’t be
able to hear him at the door.”
Trevor
“Santa has keys for everyone’shouse to get in and drop off thepresents.”Jessica
“Maybe Santa uses the door – he
knocks very gently and my grandpa
or my mom lets him in because my
dad just snores away really loud.”
Kyan
“Santa comes in through the
chimney, but leaves the big gifts
outside, or sneaks them in through
the door.
Chris
“Sometimes Santa comes in the
chimney, as long as everyone is
asleep. He brings big presents in
through the door.”
Patrick
“Santa’s magic.”
Ally
“Santa can come in quietly
because he’s magic. His magic lets
him put presents in the house and
lets him come in the house.”
Aliya
“All I know is that Santa comes in
my door without me knowing.
Maybe his beard makes him
quiet.”
Perrin
“My dad made the chimney bigger
for Santa. He can fit the presents
down the chimney in a bag.
Kaylee
“I don’t know? Santa’s
magic?”
Hailie
“I’m gonna say Santa has a key, a
key to every house. He has a
separate key for every house,
so he has a really big key
chain.”
Jackson
