I was briskly walking home after play- ing ithm ýfriends on Windale Dr. Meanw fe ,up at the North Pole, Santa was having a bit of a problem. He did not1li'e his Qld sack so he chucked it out the wincioW. "Mrs. Claus, make me a new sack" Santa pouted. "Why?" Mrs. Claus replied. Santa whimpered, "My old one b1? 'ï" Mrs. Claus replied un- willin gly. Baélk at my house the snow had made a velvet covering al over the place. Christmas Eve was only one day away. Even under my jacket it was cold. I just remembered the hockey game! I hoped it was still on, I thought as I hurried home. When I got home, the garne was over. So I got into my pajamas and bounced into bed. Soon Christmas day had corne. I raced down the stairs looking for some coloured boxes or toys, but the tree was bare. AIl I saw was Santa sledding away. lie ran out of presents, I guess. I sighed as I gloomily went back to my room. Up at the North Pole, Santa was grumblin g.Hiedid not like his new bag.ge got 1o ut of his red and whlite snowsuit and walked out the door and hurried into the darkness. lie felt like he had walked over the whole North Pole but there in the distance was his old bag. He ran over to the bag and stomped home. Soon Santa was back in his sleigh. Off' he flew to make a late delivery to the last town on his route. Back at my house everybody was cursing Santa but by morn- ing everyone had chan ged their tunes for Santa had deIiver~ed to ail on his route. lie would neyer chuck his- bag out the window again. After that he made ail his deliveries on time. I hope. By Burke Rutherford Teva Suruj paul Beau Mc Quat Gr. 5, Pringle Creek LETýTER To Santa, You are nice.
