Merry Christmas
BY PAUL VANNESTE
Grade 5
Mt. Carmel School
Merry Christmas, Merry
Christmas
Santa is so small,
Down the chimney, black and
sooty
He will fall.
Place the candy and the toys
Without a stall.
Up the chimney with a blast
Santa leaves the house at last
In the morning all the toys
Will be found by girls and boys.
A Spatial Star
BY LORRI MCDONALD

• Mt, Carmel School
One bright night
Shown a light
As Mary was giving birth to her
child.
In a manger He lay, quiet and
sweet,
As the angels watched and sang.
Saint Nicholas
BY RANDY HULLEY
Exeter P.S.
Is there a Santa Claus? Well do
you want there to be? As long as
you believe in him he lives. When
you stop he exists only to others.
Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus is
really the spirit of this joyous
occasion we look upon as
Christmas.
This gift giving holiday brings
much, much happiness to many
children an around this large
planet, earth. Also it is very,
very much enjoyment getting
prepared. Children look upon
him as really a sort of a second
father.
To them he is very, generous,
good, kind and other such things.
To little children without him
they would not have as much fun
at Christmas, So as long as there
is a Christmas there will be a
Santa Claus.
There's a little bit
of Santa Claus in
all of us
BY LINDA SMITH
Grade 7
E.P.S.
When I was little I beleived in
Santa Claus, i like everyone else
my age. It wasn't until grade four
that I found out that Mom and
Dad weren't really sending my
letters to the North Pole.
Now...I know that there is no
Santa Claus...at least not a little,
old man with a red suit and white
beard who drops presents down
everyone's chimney.
Santa Claus is, though, a part
of everyone around Christmas
and very real indeed. You see, if
Santa was real he would have to
be the kindest, nicest old man on
the face of the earth, so, as
Christmas comes we all get this
same Christmas Spirt.
By this, I mean that people are
happy, kind and nice just like
Santa Claus would have to be.
Christmas Spirit is also when
people think more and enjoy
giving gifts instead of receving
them. I may not beleive in Santa
Claus any more but I know that
there is a little bit of him in
everyone.
