Bryan Szwarz Grade I Pringlo Creek Publi c hool CMfUSTMAS EVE It was Christmnas Eve. The excitement was in the air, but for me, I was a little too excited. So much I wanted ta meet Santa Claus. Yes sure, there are the ones at the mail, but I think there's only one SÉuta and tbat's the one that lives up at the North Pale. Evey Christmas I tried te meet the real Santa but uanally I felI asleep. This time, bowever, I made a plan that couldn't fail. I bought a taop of the lino security alarm like the ones mn the stores I installed the alarin right in front of the fireplace. That night the alarm went off. Sa I ran downstairs as quick as I could but Santa had already left and left a lot of presents. Oh well. There's always next year. James Treadheli, Grade 7 MleadowoeS" Publi c hool WENT ALL WRONG Hli, rFm Sleepy and this lu My friend Weepy, we are two of Santa's bout elvea. We would 1k. ta tell you about how last years Christmas didn't go as Santa had planned. It was the lest week before Christmas, Santa was checklng over his Ilut cf the bad and good girls/boys. Weepy and I were rushing around trying te koep thinge in order when the lunch horn blew, ail the elves ruuhed ta their little cabins te catch a quidk bite before the back ta work horn blew. Weopy and I were eating and looking over the instructions of a new garne, this gaine was called wltches and wizards. Weopy and I were playing the game when I utarted ta notice that there was no way ta wln, I tald Weepy tegoteilSanlta. Santa aid, "that game is a game that half the ida want and they will ho disappointed if it doesn t work, we will have te malce the gaine botter." I teld the other elves what Sant.a wanted them ta do and tbey got iright ta it. On Chriutmas ove one of the other elves came up ta me- and said, I think yau. should tel Santa that the tey machine bralce and that we're not done the new board gamnes." I said in a loud voie back, 'Mhis can't ho happening te poor Santa. W. wilI have te fix it ourselves. Santa already bas enough ta do other than fix some silly tey machine." Afler an heurs work on the tey machine, it stil wouldn't work. It was getting late and we didn't have much time ta work on it. Weepy came in and saad '"W. b ave te get te work on the new gaines we only have nine hours Ieft.' I asked hlm how we were going ta do this with the tey machine broken. He uaid, "We will have te make them by hand." He told them te get te work and to get it done fast. Santa was finally ready te go when the elves were flnishing off the last new gaie. We brought the gaines ut and put them in Santa7s bag. Santa thanked us for ail the bard work we had done and teok off. Se as you can ueo last year's Chriutrnas didn't go as easy as it should have but I guese it turned eut okay. Bye fromn Sleepy and Weepy and ail the other elves from Santals workuhop.
