MANY THANKS
FOR YOUR PATRONAGE

Santa without
whiskers
By LYNDA HILLMAN
J.A.D. McCurdy
What would Santa look like
without his beard?
Nothing would fall off his chin as
he peered.
He wouldn't look like our
Christmas time should,
The children would just laugh at
him, they would.
The kids would all say, "Santa
Claus isn't real,
Christmas isn't Christmas, just
think how we feel!"
The happiest, joyous time just
wasn't there,
Why would he give up his beard,
it just isn't fair?
No cookies were left for him
anymore
We won't have a Santa, we'll all
go to war!
We'll protest, we'll argue, we'll
even fight,
Santa, we want to see your beard
so white!

"Well I'm not exactly Fibber

I watched him as he did his
numerous exercises on the floor.
The bell on the back of his cap
rang merrily as his little feet
tapped about. His funny upturned
nose and rosy cheeks made him
look all the more funny as he
tried to keep his sour expression
when I smiled at him, *,

the popcorn and cranberries

cookies on just dripping with
frosting. It all looked so good you
could hardly help but take a bite.
I got quite used to eating all the
goodies and the familiar smell of
the pine trees I sat on.

Modern childs'
view .of Santa
By PATTI DOWN
Grade? Usborne C.S.
One day Mrs. Santa. Claus,
Santa Claus and Pokey their elf
were sitting down to dinner when
some mail arrived. Mrs. Santa
Claus was helping Santa and
Pokey opening the letters when.
Pokey threw his letters down in
disgust, Santa lifted his glasses
and asked Pokey what was
wrong,
"Oh Santa! they want so
much!" said Pokey,
"Well!" said Mrs. Santa Claus,
"I am ashamed of you Pokey."
"'Why they demand just as much
as you did and still do!"
"Why Mrs. Claus!" said Santa,
"If you remember back Pokey's
father was like that." "No ac-
tually I was only kidding Pokey."
"But Pokey modern children are
no different than childern back in
the olden days."
"But Santa I don't demand so
much do I?" asked Pokey.
"Yes Pokey, I am afraid so,"
said Santa.
"Well Pokey, I think you
learned your lesson," said Mrs,
Claus.
After that they finished the
mail and had rest of their dinner,
Always after that Pokey (the
modern elf) tried to be less
demanding.

What Christmas
means to me
By FRANCES NASH
Grade 8
Mt. Carmel
ChriStmas just isn't presents you
know
Its things to do and places to go
You go shopping with mother,
sister or brother
and each one buys something for
the other.
Buying a trees exciting too
Theres so much decorating for
you to .do
Preparing a feast for that special
' day',
When a baby was born in a
manger of hay.
Christmas is really Christs birth-
day
But many take it a different way
You go to church on Christmas
day
come home and open your
presents right away
Christmas just isnt seeing Aunt
Heather
Its a time for your family to be
together.

Santa gets
a red suit
By CONNIE KING
Huron Centennial
Long ago Santa had a suit, •
It didn't go right with his boot
It was a gloomy snowy night,
It looked dull not bright.
Santa wasn't happy just sad,
It looked like he was mad
He had lots and lots of toys,
He gave them to girls and boys.
A story of
Christmas
By BRAD SCOTT
Grade 5 Precious Blood
T'was the night before
Christmas. We all lay snug in our
bed. Not peep or squeak was in
the house. All the stockings
hung straight in a row. But in that
house was one little boy who just
couldn't get to sleep. Till he came
out of bed. And all of a sudden he
heard a rustle coming from the
chimeny. He said "It's Santa."
He ran like a jack Rabbit straight
for his bed. But he said to himself
"I wish I would have made it to
the frige." But finally he went to
sleep. The next morning he
rushed for his presents. He went
out side and the snow was packed
so deep. And boy was it
refreshing!
