Christmas
By Chris Fisher, Gr. d, Zurich PubI4c School
At Christmas time there is snow and parents are
spending dough.
The boys want their toys and the girls want their
pearls.
The kids want to go sledding so they make their bed-
ding.
fhe parents want to rest but the kid is being a pest.
The kids do the dishes so they get their wishes.
The kids can't rest because Santa's the best.
The parents can't sleep because the children leap.
The kids open their toys with a great deal of noise.
The kids are sad, it's done, they can't have any more
fun.
The parents are glad they can rest,
The kids think the presents are -the best.
A Dws4(eii� Nelidag G�fiicg

we wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Wein mighty happy to have served you this year.
stop by and see us again, soon.

The Day I Wrecked
Christmas
By Travis O'Neil
McGOlivray Public School
Its Christmas Eve, I can't
get to sleep
But then was a noise, a
crash, and a creak.
I ran down the stairs to
see what it was,
Santa was there, and then
we both paused.
He broke into a sprint and
so did 1,
He ran pretty fast for an
old chubby guy!
Around the table, around
and around
Then straight out the
door and flat on the
ground.
He had slipped on the ice,
Oh! What a fall,
He might not be clever
after it all.
I felt so bad, so glum, so
sad,
For I had hurt Santa and
he woald be mad!
Knocked out on the ice, a
sight for sore eyes,
Would bring millions of
children, minions of cries:
A toss and a turn, Santa
awakes,
I gave him my hand, he
gave it a shake.
It's okay Travis," said a
low jolly voice,
"Of all the good boys,
you're my first choice!"
He twinkled his eyes so
big and so blue,
And said "Merry
Christmas! •I won't forget
you."

How We Are
Working Up at the
North Pole
By Gregory Regier, Gr. 4
St. Boniface School
Hello. My name is Lazy.
I am the head elf at the
North Pole. There is lots
to do before Christmas. I
feed the reindeer nutri-
tious food like lettuce,
carrots and peas. The
reindeers' names are
Rudolph, Dancer, Cupid
and Comet.
The elves make toys like
planes, trucks, cars, tools
and teddy bears for peo-
ple who are afraid of the
dark. The elves make
sparkling cookies for
Santa.
Santa makes sure that
everything is in the sleigh
on time. Santa makes
sure that every one of the
elves is working.
Santa stays in his house
for a rest before his big
long trip.
When he comes back
from his long trip, Santa
praises his elves at what a
wonderful job each elf
did.
After Christmas, the
elves have pillow fights
and have a good sleep
until March.

Or were attacked by a

Dear Santa:
This is my first letter to you, and I had to get mom
to help me since I'm only about 2 months old. I've
been working on my wish list between eating and
sleeping, and mom and dad say I've been a good
boy so I thought I'd ask you for a red wagon with
big rubber tires. Could you also bring something
nice for my cousin Emily too? What kind of cookies
do you like?
