"Christopher Columbus was never a good boy was he?", Mrs. Claus asked. "Gosh no! Never did. I even see such a disobedient child," bellowed Santa. What abobt Bobby R. Jr.?" asked Mrs. Claus. "Yes," replied Santa, "He won't get any toys this year. "The toys are ready Santa," reported the Chief elf. "All right," said Santa, "But gosh times have changed," At 12:00 p.m. Santa returned from his trip and sat down to his Christmas dinner, There was turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, peas and corn and all sorts of candies. Soon Mrs. Claus arrived in the dining room. Every year it takes you longer with your trip," Mrs. Claus said. "Yes, and every year your cooking gets better," said Santa and helped himself to a drum- stick. IF I WERE AGIFT By LORI KERSLAKE Grade 2 I'sborne Central If I were a gift I'd like to Show love to The whole world. Everyone would be happy all the time and every one would like me. MARILYNBy FORD Grade 8 Mt. Carmel What does Christmas mean to me? Let me think and you will see, When I see the snow covered ground, That's when all my ideas are found. Decorated Christmas trees. People praying on their knees. Eating all the turkey dinner When your finished your not thinner Now as you can plainly see This is what Christmas means to me. CHRISTMAS By CATHY KOEHLER Grade 7 J.A.D. McCurdy Christmas is a "Happy Time" But sometimes it can be a crime Sister might bring in some snow From the outside sunny glow All these troubles are very common But they're not ruled by any lawman So sit when you sit down to dine Christmas is a "Happy Time." Nick no THE REAL CHRISTmAS. POEM By.M9NAHoopINS Stephen Central Long long ago, On a dark warm night, Shone in the East, A star that was so bright Wise men and sheperds followed the star They traveled days and nights because it was so far. When they came to Bethlehem, The star shone bright over a shed, It gave a wonder to these men to see that a shed was a king's bed. The wise men gave him diamonds and jewels, also in the stables were some lambs and a mule, The people of Bethlehem got out of their beds to see the great King that lay in the shed. I have told you the story of the real Christmas Day It isn't receiving and giving away, It's the great Christmas spirit that lies In us all, to think that our king was born in a stall. AN ACROSTIC By BARB GUENTHER Stephen Central C is the cradle baby Jesus laid in. H is the animals hovering around the cradle. R is the rough wood the cradle was made of. I is the inn that they asked to stay in, S is the straw in the cradle. T is the three wisemen that brought the gifts. M is Mary watching over baby Jesus. A is the angel that spread the news. S is the stable in which baby Jesus was born, WHO CARES? By ALICE BROWN SCS Can you imagine your house without Christmas displays, or tables empty from the lack of food, even, children without many toys? Well, believe it or not, things are this way in some or most homes. Many people realize this and won't do anything. They have lots of food, clothing, toys and lots of other things, also, above all they can celebrate Christmas. "Why should they care," many people say. Yet there are other people who would do anything to help. All the world needs is more people who care. Again, imagine yourself as someone without many of the important things in life. THINK ABOUT IT! MR. PRESENT'S CHRISTMAS By BRIAN RADER Rm. 2 SCS Hi! My name is Mr. Present. I am one of Santa's presents along with the others in his big red sack which is in his sleigh. Tonight he is going to deliver me to some little boy. Oh! Here he comes. You can hear him say Ho! Ho! Ho!. Away we go as Santa says on Dasher on Dancer on Prancer, Vincent, on Comet on Cupid on Donner on Blitzon and Rudolph too. We went down the chimney and I was placed under a nice little Christmas tree just waiting for the little boy to open me up, I think I'll take a nap. Oh! here comes the boy and his mother and father. His name is Billy. He is opening me up. He is very happy that I am a new toy tractor. How glad I am that he likes me. WHERE WOULD THE WORLD. BE .WIT.HoUTQL.P$T,NICK?- By DENISE MANSELL Grade 6 Exeter P.S. Where would the world be without old St. Nick? Christmas just would'nt be fun, Children would cry and clocks wouldn't tick, If Santa stopped making his run! In Australia and France and Japan, All little young ones would sob, And just picture this if you can, Rudolph would be out of a job! Christmas morn would be so dull and dreary, Just one more old day in the week, Spirits just wouldn't be cheery, The whole world would be up mud creek! So when Xmas arrives, please be thoughtful, Don't be a Scrooch or a Grinch, Stockings will never be not full, For Santa, Gift giving's a cinch! On Christmas Eve if you leave a treat, On a table right out in plain sight, And something for Rudolph to eat, Your sure to get presents that night! A LONG AGO CHRISTMAS By RUTH MORGRET Grade 7 SCS Two lonely, travellers wan- dered down the dusty road. A huddle of buildings loomed ahead of them. As they approached, they noticed people sleeping in the streets and others chatting around warm fires. The couple headed toward an inn. The young man knocked on the door. Behind the wooden door a gruff voice explained hastily that there was no room. Joseph walked quietly away. Door after door was knocked, but the answer was always the same. Finally the couple came to a slightly run-down inn on the edge of town. "Sir my wife is in labour. Do you have a room?" the young man asked. "I'm sorry there's no room here except for the stable." the host added with a twinkle in his eye. After a short conversation with his wife, Mary, Joseph said the stable would have to do. The stable boy was summoned to take them to it. As Mary lay down on the floor, she began thinking back. The angel Gabriel's coming, Joseph's dream he had told her, about, their marrige, and now she lay in a Bethlehem stable about ready to have a baby boy. Three hours later a cry broke out. Mary, quite out of breath, looked at her first baby, a boy named Jesus. A slow, weak smile spread across her face. "My son, My Lord," she whispered and then fell asleep. HUMOUR By DICK DOUGALL Grade 8 UCS When my brother was small he went to bed on Christmas Eve and he was so excited that he could hardly get to sleep. He was so anxious that he woke up in the middle of the night. Not wanting to waken Mom he very quietly tiptoed down stairs. He was just about to open a present when he heard the snowplow roar past. He was so frightened that he raced upstairs and jumped into bed waking everybody up saying "Santa's on the roof, Santa's on the roof!"
