Gone has the snow goose, the robin and the bear, Leaving only the Blue Jays to chatter and to stare. Mornings when frost carpets shimmer all around. Herald more signs of winter next the snow will come around. It seems as only yesterday but a year has gone by So fast, that I remember December days and their Cold and wintery blast.

WHAT HAPPENED TO SANTA CLAUS What happened to Santa Mom? 'I don't know Tom. Now let me tell you a story about Santa. All through the house not a sound could be heard for one minute. Then there was a bump-bump and out of the chimney came Santa with a bag of toys. In the morning a boy named Dan had received the toys and was very happy. The End by Lee Rott Greenbank P.S. Grade 2, Age 7 THE FUNNY SOUND On Christmas Eve I heard Santa Claus saying ho ho ho. I saw a red light. I went out- side and it was Rudolph. It was cold so I went back in. In the morning when I woke up I saw all the toys and things. So we opened the presents and had a good time! The End. by Kristy Hutcheon Greenbank PS. Grade 2, Age 7 CHRISTMAS NIGHT On Christmas night it was very cold. That night the wind was very strong. It was so strong it took Santa right out of Santa's sled and there was no Christmas that year. By Gavin Dem» Greenbank P.S Grade 2, Age 7 Dear Santa I have tried my best to be good. I hope that your elves are not sick. And I hope that your reindeers are not sick for Christmas. For Christmas I would like star wars figures or cake mix or dishes or batterys or light bright or radio R2-D2 or a watch or Barbie doll clothes or car or a book. I will try to leave a snack for you. I will try to leave some wat- her for your rain deers along along the house. Your friend Angela Thompson Epsom P.S. Grades 1 & 2 CHRISTMAS IS HERE Christmas is coming Christmas is coming Wrap up your gift with red tinsel and a blue bow. Santa is coming in a red shining suit a big fat belt and shining black boots. The little elves are getting ready to put the toys in for the good girls and boys. Decorate the Christmas tree with ornaments and lights. The reindeer are harnessed with Rudolph in front with the shining nose that will shine in the night. The baby Jesus is born tonight and the star of Beth- lehem will shine tonight. Christmas is coming Christmas is coming. Roseanne Brygman Age 10 Cartwright Central P.S. MY FIRST CHRISTMAS One day I woke up. I noticed that a tree was in the living- room. I wondered why. Then I saw presents under the tree. On the fireplace there was a thing that looked like a sock. In it there was candy, a book, a bell, and a doll. I thought it was my birthday! Just then Mom and Dad came into the room. I asked, "What's in the sock and under the tree? My mom told me that it was Christ- mas. My Dad told me it is Jesus' birthday. I asked why I got all the presents. Mom said, 'Jesus' did so you and other children get presents." So I unwrapped the gifts and in the boxes there was a teddy bear, a top, a ball, a game called Blip and other things. The End. Barbie Shaver Grade 3, Room 7 Prince Albert P.S. Merry Christmas to All!

NONQUON TRAVEL SERVICE Corner of 7A Hwy. & Water Street Wising you all At his time of the year A plentiful measure of YULETIDE CHEER Mar-Laine MY EXPERIENCE WITH SANTA Twas the night before Christ- mas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse. I sneeked down stairs to see what I was going to get, and boy did I get a surprise. I quickly ducked behind a chair. Sitting by the fire- place was this fat man all dressed in red with a long white beard. He was eating the cookies we had left out for him. He finished the last one, washed it down with a glass of milk, he stood up and let out a yawn that sounded like a fog horn. He went to work scattering presents everywhere. I ran up stairs and got back so I wouldn't see what I was going to get and spoil my surprise! John Moore Grade 6 R.H. Cornish -ASNOWY DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS My boots come walking through the snow. Up and down and away we go! Jumping through the frozen leaves, Squirrels and chip- munks are gll you see! Deers and like run away, on this bright and snowy day. All the lakes are frozen over, It's hard to find a 4 leaf clover! Horses in stalls, Cows in barns, All the animals on their far- ms! The bright and shining sun goes down, With all the people in their little town! All the children tucked in bed, With visions of Christ- mas dance in their heads! The children are warm in their beds made of silk, The dog is tired, he's not drinking his milk! The children a anxious to get up and play, For tomorrow is Christmas that merry day! Tomorrow is Christmas, but soon will be gone, While the sun rises up, it soon will be dawn! Christmas is a very, day. An excellent time to get up and PLAY! by Darren Scala Epsom PS Grade 6, Age 11 merry WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME It is the day that Jesus was born and when Santa comes with presents. Santa comes with Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer and goes to people's houses. On Christmas you open presents. Jeff Anstey Greenbank P.S. Grade 2, Age 7 WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME? Christmas means giving Christmas means receiving Christmas means lots of toys. Christmas means a week off school. Christmas means lots of things but most of all Santa Claus comes to town. Christ mas also means Christmas shopping or going to a Christmas dinner at my Grandma's house. Wendy Gray Grade 5, Age 10 R.H. Cornish DECEMBER To me December 1s like a dream, It's full and pure and bright It snows and snows it's shiny white And gleam The leaves have gone. the trees are bare, Birds no more perch there They are missed like victims of theft And silence is all that's left makes the country Kevin Ferguson CCPS.
