He went to several more stops like this, And then he was done with his very last trip. On the way back to the North Pole, Santa said "Merry Christmas" and his last "Ho, Ho, Ho!" BY LISA TALBOT Grade 7 Huron Centennial 'Twas the night before Christmas, when poor Johnny had a dream. He woke up in the morning, ran downstairs to see what he got for Christmas, because he wanted a new bicycle badly. To his surprise there wasn't even a Christmas tree! He walked down the street, and saw some men at work, building a house. Johnny shouted, "Why are you working on Christmas morning ?" The. men said, "Christmas, Whats Christmas?", and they went back to work. Everyone was just working like a normal day. Johnny ran home. He heard his mother calling him to get up. He woke up to find it was only a dream. Johnny went downstairs, and his new bike was sitting under the Christmas tree. He told his father about his dream. Johnny's father said "If Jesus wasn't born there wouldn't be a Christmas and no time to show friendship. So Johnny went Upstairs and prayed to God, for Jesus being born, and thanked him for the time he gave for BY TIMMANN Grade 4 Mensal! It was the night before Christmas. The Cook family were all asleep except Peter. He was putting up his big red stocking by the fireplace. He was looking up the chimney for Santa Claus but he wasn't there yet. Peter decided to sleep on the couch, He finally got to sleep. Then something clattered on the roof like somebody was on it. It came down the chimney it came it was Santa Claus. He saw Peter sleeping on the couch so he tip- toed with his pack on his back. Silently he went to the Christmas tree. After he put the presents under the tree he filled the stockings. Then he went up the chimney he rose, Next morning Peter got up and opened all his toys, Peter said to his mom and Dad, this is the Merryist Christmas I ever had. 0.5gomo BY HEATHER LOVE Grade 4 Stephen Central Father calls me William. Sister calls me Will. Mother calls me Willy. But the feller's call me Bill. I got me a racoon from June. But I hate it when Grandma ' feeds him prunes. She makes me take a bath on Saturday morn. But I'd rather run away and husk the corn. BUT!! Just Fore Christmas I'm as Good as I can be! (So St, Nick will give lots of presents to me!) Soon they went back to sleep. As soon as John got up to go to work, Mary said, "John I didn't sleep well last night. I kept hearing footsteps." "Come on Mary you know that those sounds were only your imagination playing "John was cut off because of the noise coming frOm the children's bedroom. Mary and Jim went upstairs. Just as John opened the door, he saw a red jacket swing into the closet, "Cathy, Jeff and Janet," he said, "why was that red jacket flying into the closet?" "Oh, Dad," said Janet, "We Were just playing a game to see Who could, er, urn, get it on the hanger." John walked out of the room. Janet said, "Soy I'm glad that I had a red jacket or else I would have to tell what we were really doing," That night John and Mary heard creeking and footsteps again. Next morning Mary noticed that some jam, bread and cookies were missing. "Am," she said, "I wonder who is our little pack rat? I've also noticed the children being awfully quiet.' That night Mary felt eyes on her as she turned out the lights to go to bed. The next morning the paper was gone and more food had disappeared. soon Mary had noticed that a glass and silverware had disappeared. BY KANDY DOBSON Grade 5 Hensali Public The colourful ornaments sparkled last night. As I looked out the window the snow was softly falling. It looked so beautyful. While the colourful ornaments were reflecting on the snow, I felt a nice warm feeling come over my heart. Christmas is coming, reindeer stomping on the roof top, BY ROB NORTHCOTT Grade 8 E.P.S. Calling of the snow, As the newborns grow, When the wind goes, The birds fly south. The snow comes, For the children keep warm, Then you know its winter for all. For the night before Christmas, The stars are so bright, As the little ones try to sleep that night. When John got home Mary said, "Tonight I'm staying up to catch our prowler." Tick, tack, tick, tack, tick, tock, the clock went. It was now 2:45 a.m, and Mary was about to go to sleep when someone came out from hiding. John came downstairs and flicked on the light, Then they both yelled a questioning yell of, "Santa Claus?" The kids were running down the stairs and said, "I guess you found out." "Before you do anything else:" said Santa Claus, "I want to tell you why I'm here. You see I was watching T.V. in my house when a blinding storm came up and ruined part of my house. I came here and met your children. After me telling this story to them they Said I could use whatever I wanted and when I went for some things I did make some noises So here I am," "How long will it be until your house is fixed?" John asked. Santa answered, "About two more days from now." "Well," said John, "you can stay here as long as you like on one condition, that you bring lots of toys to our place," Santa said, "I will; Don't worry I Will. As Santa left next day to get the Christmas presents, he said, "Good-bye," John answered, "See you soon!" Times-Advocate, December 22, 1977 Page 1$ Clased 2:00 pan. Dec. 24 till January 2, BY BETH CONSITT Grade 7 Huron Centennial On Christmas Eve a long time ago, Santa had all the presents ready to go, The elves helped Santa remember his route, And even helped him put on his big boots. Santa threw his pack on his back, And hoped that he would soon be back. He got in his sleigh and set all the toys down, And away the reindeer went with abound. Santa was now at his very first stop, He said to himself "I better not talk," He slipped down the chimney .1 without one sound, And then got out a present for all ' who were around. BY DENNIS KINTS Grade 5 Precious Blood It was December 20, and we were just coming home from a dinner at Mother's Pizza. The time was 10:00 so everyone went to bed. Creek! "John," said Mary. "What was that creek?" "It was probably the wind." Corner #4 Hwy 8s Huron county Roctif#21 opaokit ogo0Vat440;00,10.

We're blending Love and Happiness, adding a dash of Joy, sprinkling with Cheer and serving for your holiday pleasure! On Christmas eve a long time ago BY KATHY SCHADE Room 4 Stephen Central There are two sides to Christmas. The first and most important area is the religous one. This has to do with the coming of the baby Jesus in Bethlehem. The other side is mainly focused on the eve when Santa arrives. Today we tend to centre our Christmas ideas on Santa. Most stories you read have to do with the jolly old, elf. Everywhere you look you see. You know who. The magazines, newspapers, Christmas cards, colouring books, and window showcases are mostly dominated by pictures of Santa. Frosty The Snowman, Rudolph etc. Why not call december 25 "Santamas"? It would seem much more appropriate. At this time of year we decorate our house with gaily coloured lights. This represents the bright light the star gave off as it shone down on Bethlehem. We give and receive, gifts the three wisemen gave the baby Jesus. But this is not enough! This year let's all try to put Christ back into Christmas.
