CHRISTMAS
By Jennifer Peartinga

Why I Would Not Like to
be One of Santa's Elves
• By Scott Heid
Grade 2 Hensall Public School
I would not like to be one of Santa's
elves because I would have to get the
sleigh ready and clean the workshop.
I would have to make toy and work
on and on.
A CHUCKLE
By Shawn Willert
J.A.D. McCurdy Public School
There once was a man with a chuckle,
Who had a fancy belt buckle,
He had a beard
That was real weird
Ho, ho, ho what a chuckle.
DEAR SANTA
By Tracy Payne
Grade 7 Stephen Central
How are you. For Christmas this
year is a printer for my computer that
you gave me last year for Christmas!
A mini ghetto blaster, walkman,
roller skates, gold watch, a new stock-
ing, cross country skis, a water bed,
electric guitar, stsilite dish. My
brother would like a Rambo person,
cars and truck. We both know money
grows on trees.
P.S. How's Rudolph! Merry
Christmas.
CHRISTMAS
By Nicole Turkheim
Grade 2 - St. Boniface School
Christmas means people making
laughter. People loving and caring. It
is snowy. Jesus comes into our hearts.
Savior, giving, helpful. Love, stn. -
prise, Jesus is beside you. Jesus
warms our hearts. The Lord is here.
Jesus was born in a manger in a
stable because there was no room for
them at the Inn. Mary wrapped him
in swaldling clothes and laid him in
a manger because there was no room
for them at the Inn.
My Meaning of
Christmas
By Sandra Vanderlaan
Grade 4 Clinton and District Christian
School
Jesus was born on Christmas day
t as a gift from God. Now we have gifts
from each other to -remember God's
gift for us. The presents we open are
like the shepherds that found Jesus
Christ. That is my meaning of
Christmas.
