CHRISTMAS SECTION

Hints of Harmony, a musical group based in Wawota for the past 32 years, hosted their annual Christmas Concert on Sunday, Dec. 13, to a full house at the Wawota United Church. Approximately 90 people stopped by to enjoy the musical renderings of the Hints of Harmony and their special guests for the performance. The group pulls in a variety of talented women from the southeast who are passionate about music and singing. The concert began at 7 p.m., with admission being a collection for the Food Bank. The group sang various beloved Christmas carols and blew the audience away with their beautiful vocals. Joining the Hints of Harmony throughout the evening’s performance were young pianists and vocalists who took to the stage. For some young performers it was the fi rst time taking the stage in front of a crowd and they handled the new experience wonderfully. Ultimately the crowd enjoyed a beautiful evening of song, which included “Bethlehem Boy,” “O Holy Night,” “Old Toy Trains,” and many more favourites. Following the concert Santa Claus stopped by with a few pre-Christmas treats, which was a hit with the youngsters in the crowd. They were very happy he was able to take the time to stop in for a visit.

Hints of Harmony celebrate the holidays

The Hints of Harmony concert in Wawota also welcomed a youth choir who practiced for one week before, but sounded as if they had been singing together for much longer with their beautiful renditions of Christmas tunes.

Youngsters also performed on the piano while others sang.

The Moose Mountain Health Care Recruitment Committee hosted its annual fundraising event on Friday, Dec. 11. The event was rather well attended with over 180 people stopping in to enjoy the evening. “We are down this year, some of the businesses who usually buy tables were unable to this year,” Sheila Sim, one of the members of the Recruitment Committee explained. The fundraiser began with cocktails at 6 p.m., followed by supper at 7 p.m., and entertainment beginning around 8 p.m. with Don’t Mind Us Comedy by Saskatoon comedians, Mark Schweighardt and Lee Bells. Also entertaining the crowd was the new local band, Prairie Sun, which took to the stage before supper and following the comedic performance. The work that the Recruit Committee does benefi t both the Carlyle and the Arcola clinics according to Sim. This includes three doctors currently practicing in Arcola and two practicing in Carlyle, as well as taking care of a locum doctor working out of the Arcola clinic. “We’re currently in the process of recruiting a fourth physician,” Sim stated. “We’ve been talking to residents who graduate in June, we’ve also been talking to doctors entering SIPPA in January and we’ll see how that goes – the soonest we would see them is in June as well – and we’ve also been in discussion with two U.K. doctors. Those two don’t have to go through SIPPA to come here. So we’ve been working hard to fi ll that position.” “We’re always in need of interested people to help, there is always work to be done, and we’re a

Moose Mountain Health Care Recruitment Committee working hard to bene� t communities

The Moose Mountain Health Care Recruitment Committee hosted their annual fundraiser on Friday, Dec. 11. Currently the group is working towards bringing in a fourth practitioner in Arcola and have a few di� erent leads they are following. The Recruitment Committee is made up of (back row left to right:) Bev Grimes and Sheila Sim (front row left to right:) Lynn Brady and Brenda Walter.


If you missed your chance to enter Arcola Daycare’s ‘Trip of the Month’ lottery in 2015, it’s not too late to pick up a ticket for the 2016 edition of the contest. Each $120 ticket not only supports Arcola’s non-profi t daycare facility; purchasers also receive 24 chances to win trips to destinations that include London, New York, Las Vegas, and Hawaii. In addition, ticketholders are also entered in a monthly $120 cash draw.

small group,” Sim explained. The Recruitment Committee is currently made up of Brenda Walter, Lynn Brady, Bev Grimes, and Sim. “This is our main fundraiser for the year and we also participate in the Creative Tables for Cancer, those are the only two events we’re really visible, but there’s always something going on for us,” she said. “Right now we have locums coming in so we make sure the house is cleaned – we don’t physically do the cleaning but organize to have someone come in – then we arrange to have the keys at the hospital for them, and it’s just nice to have a local presence for when doctors come to visit.” “We maintain four houses for doctors in town, all of them furnished, so we’re paying for heat, power, and telephones in the houses, and our group owns one so there’s the mortgage and maintenance on that as well. A few years ago housing was very diffi cult to fi nd so doctors have been appreciative that we have something for them and they’re attracted to the community because they’re houses with backyards and not just apartments. It’s nice to have that security of having a home which is move-in ready because these doctors are all moving from somewhere.” The small group is very thankful for the support that the community and surrounding area has given them. Sim added, “There’s been support through donations and we’ve seen a lot of support of people using our clinics and our outposts: Stoughton, Lampman, Wawota, and White Bear. White Bear has been a great outpost and we’ve seen a lot of support from the residents there. We’ve also been thankful for people reaching out and welcoming the doctors to the community as well; we’ve had a lot of really good support.”

Arcola Daycare Trip of the Month Lottery tickets for

2016 now available “One ticket gives you 24 chances to win over $36,000 in prizes,” says Arcola Daycare director, Kayla Breti. “And it all goes to help us towards the purchase of our building.” The fi nal draw of 2015 took place at Buddy’s Pub in Arcola. The winner of a week-long Hawaiian vacation was (Mrs.) Terry Johnston of Kisbey, while Curtis Glennie of Arcola took home the $120 monthly cash prize. “Now that Christmas is almost here, a ticket makes a great gift for yourself or someone else,” says Breti.

Six-year-old Tayo Sedor’s medical journey be-gan when he was a toddler, and although he is now a healthy grade one student at Carlyle Elementary School, his experience with Montreal’s Shriners Hospital for Children has left a lasting impression on his family.

“It’s not only our experience at Shriners Hospi-tal,” says Tayo’s mom, Jenn. “It’s the other families we saw there. For example, on the hospital shuttle, there was a young mom from Toronto whose baby had already undergone 21 surgeries. We got our happy ending, but a lot of families don’t. As a result of what we’ve seen and learned during our experi-ence with Shriners Hospital, we’ve decided to help the Shriners help other families like us.”

The Sedors encountered the Shriners after Tayo had been diagnosed with both scoliosis of the spine and a Chiari 1 malformation of the brain.

“Basically, his back looked like a big ‘S’,” says Jenn. After he was diagnosed, he was fi tted with a body brace that he had to wear for 23 hours a day. It only came off when he bathed.”

By placing Tayo in the brace between the ages of two and three, doctors in

Saskatoon (where the family had intially been referred) were attempt-ing to mold the bones in Tayo’s back from their crooked position into a straight line.

However, an even more alarming prospect

for the family was Tayo’s diagnosis

of a Chiari 1 malformation of the brain, which came

when he was 18 months

old. “He

was unable to walk or talk,” says Jenn. “And a piece of his brain was compressed from his upper neck into his spinal cord, which forced his little bones into an ‘S’ shape.”

“The orthopedic surgeon called us from Sas-katoon, and she gave us the diagnosis over the phone,” says Jenn. “She told us Tayo would need brain surgery.”

“We were completely overwhelmed with the idea of brain surgery,” adds Jenn. “We’d had our diffi culties with Sask Health and we wanted a sec-ond opinion.”

“A friend saw an ad in the paper from the Shri-ners and phoned them. We were actually on our way back from a doctor’s appointment in Saskatoon for Tayo, and the Shriners were in Regina, holding their patient reviews. They told us to ‘Bring him and his fi le.’”

“Because we were returning from an appoint-ment in Saskatoon, we had Tayo with us, we had his fi le with us, so we were ready.”

“We had breakfast with the Shriners in their hall and they were so welcoming and warm, she

says. “After a few weeks went by, we heard from them and they let us know that they had ac-

cepted Tayo conditionally.”Soon the Sedors were on their way to

Shriners Hospital for Children in Mon-treal for the second opinion they had

hoped for.“We had a really

good appointment,” says Jenn. “We didn’t have to wait, and of course, best of all Tayo was out of his brace.”

Jenn says the Shriners do a seamless job of allaying much of the stress for families who are already dealing with the signifi cant strain of having a sick child.

“What they do is amazing,” she says. “They pay for airfare for one parent and their child, as well as picking up the cost of the hotel

stay. They even have a shuttle bus from the hotel to the hospital, which

is where I saw many chil-dren who were sicker than

my own.”“The hospital itself

is incredible. It’s Cana-da’s only Shriners Hos-pital for Children and it provides state-of-the-art highly-specialized pe-diatric orthopaedic care for kids from all across

Canada and parts of North America.”Tayo’s dad, Tim Sedor was inspired to become

a Shriner as a direct result of his family’s experience with Shriner’s Hospital. As a member of the Este-van & District Shrine Club, Shriner Noble Tim says, “The hospital is an amazing place, and it really is a hospital for all Canadian children who need it.”

“I decided to become a Shriner-which takes a while-because I wanted to be part of a group that cares more than anything about getting the best possible outcome for children, no matter what the cost.”

“For the Shriners, cost is no object when people are in a tight spot. It’s just our way of paying it forward. And I’d like to say that anyone who who thinks they might need help from the Shriners for their child to talk to Jenn or I. ”

“We are so grateful to the Shriners and for Tayo’s health,” adds Jenn. “But what we saw there really changed us,” she adds. “We saw some kids who had conditions that were far more serious than Tayo’s and we saw some kids that didn’t come home.”

“I saw kids that were much sicker than my own,” she adds. “When we got home, Tim made the commitment to become a Shriner and I knew I wanted to join him because of what the Shriners have done for us.”

“We’re committed now as a family to fundrais-ing for the Shriners and getting the word out to families who may need their help like we did,” says Jenn.

“It’s our way of paying it forward.”

As a result of his son Tayo’s experience with Canada’s Shriners Hospital for Children, Tim Sedor has become a Shriner and the entire Sedor family are determined to “pay it forward” by fundraising and supporting the Shriners’ e� orts on behalf of all Canadian children.

Weekly RCMP report

The Carlyle detachment of the RCMP responded to 123 fi les from Friday, Dec. 4 to Thursday, Dec. 10. RCMP responded to calls within the Carlyle area reporting two separate incidents of fi ghting. One call reported two individuals fi ghting with sticks. Another reported people fi ghting on a road. Police made patrols, and although the parties involved had presumably dispersed by the time members arrived, the RCMP encourages members of the public to call the detachment if they are need of assistance by police. Alcohol-related off ences In two separate incidents, two Carlyle area individuals were fi ned $360 for having open liquor in a vehicle. Breach of release An individual from the Carlyle area breached conditions of their release. Breaking and entering Members responded to fi ve reports of breaking and entering. Two took place within the Carlyle area, two took place within the Town of Carlyle and one occurred in Manor. Two boathouses, two garages and one residence were broken into, and RCMP believe that some of these incidents may be related to the break and enter spree in the area the previous week.

Fire RCMP were called to assist at a grass fi re in the Redvers area.

Fraud In Redvers, an individual used a fraudulent

credit card to pay for purchases. Impaired driving RCMP have charged two individuals with impaired driving, both on Hwy 9. Two other incidents of impaired driving are currently under investigation. Littering An individual was fi ned $150 for discarding a burning substance from a vehicle. Parole violation An individual violated the conditions of their parole.

Mischief RCMP responded to calls regarding loud parties-one in Arcola, and one in Carlyle. In addition, members responded to fi ve other reports of mischief-all of them within the Carlyle area-related to property damage and arguments in residences. Motor vehicle collisions An injury collision occurred on Highway 13 near Carlyle. In Redvers, a collision on Hwy 13 resulted in an individual requiring medical attention. A vehicle collided with a power pole and a fi re hydrant in Wawota.

In the Carlyle area, a car hit a cement block. There were four other collisions which occurred during this period.

Over 150 cadets from across Manitoba and southern Saskatchewan joined together at Canadian Forces Base Shilo, the weekend of November 13-15 for the annual MusiCon event. MusiCon is the abbreviation for “music concentration” and is a gathering of air, sea and army cadets to come together for musical instruction in both the Military Band and the Pipes and Drums. This year’s participants came from 27 diff erent corps and squadrons to the military base just east of Brandon. MB Lieutenant Brent Lowrie, band instructor for 2520 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, Brandon, was this year’s training coordinator for the Pipes and Drums program. “The cadets are brought together for an intense weekend of instruction to learn, practice, play and rehearse together, eventually performing as a group. This is something many have not had the chance to do,” Lowrie says. “A lot of cadets are in locations where they don’t have enough players in their bands to experience a full band setting so this gives them the opportunity to perform with cadets from all over the province and to experience a larger, broader band environment,” Lieutenant Mark Neuman is the Commanding Offi cer for 675 Bow Valley Air Cadet Squadron which parades out of Oxbow, Sask. This the fi rst time the southeastern Saskatchewan corps have come to Manitoba’s Musicon, as previously they attended the Saskatoon event. “We brought 19 cadets and 2 staff from Oxbow, 3 cadets from 723 Moose Mountain

RCACS Carlyle and another cadet from Virden. So we had quite a contingent to represent our area. I think this has been an amazing opportunity for them. They get to see the larger picture what the cadet movement is like and what kind of staffi ng and support system they have to help develop the skills that prepare them later on in life, not only in the music side of things, but just in everyday life skills.” Lt. Neuman recognizes the value in bringing the army, air and sea cadets together. “It is really something to see when you bring all the three elements together here. At home in their local corps they don’t get to intermingle with the other elements. Here they get to see the other uniforms, other offi cers and to talk with each other and fi nd out what their other element partners are doing in their own squadrons and corps. It’s just an amazing experience for them to see that and participate in it fi rst-hand.” Cadets are between the ages of 12-18 and often have opportunities in their schools to learn and become fl uent in an instrument. Many cadets who come to MusiCon are already actively involved in their school, cadet corps or squadron, or community band programs. This annual weekend provides extra instruction in a more concentrated form as the youth are rotated through specialized instruction with their particular instrument and then come together as a mass band, divided into Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels. However, there are also those who come out of curiosity. “There are cadets here who have never touched an instrument before,”

Lowrie states. “This is the fi rst time some of them have been exposed to music instruction like this. Some have played with their school band for only a few years. But also, there are cadets here who are quite experienced and are at the top of their profi ciency level and are here as staff cadets in a supervisory position as well as instructing.” Flight Seargent Pearl Barnes, parades with 675 and plays the alto saxophone. “It was really fun here this weekend. I learned a lot about playing the saxophone. And I was really happy I got to be in the advanced band cuz these guys are cool and we played awesome songs!” Instructors are brought in from various places and walks of life to tutor in both Military Band and the Pipes and Drums. Some are Cadet Instructor Cadre offi cers and work with cadets on a regular basis. Some are civilians and are school band instructors. Others are in the regular forces or are reserve non-commissioned members. Most are professional musicians in their day jobs and are accomplished in their fi eld of expertise in Military Band (brass, reed and percussion), and/or the Pipes and Drums (bagpipes, snare drums, tenor drums and bass drums). This was the fi rst time MUSICON was held at CFB Shilo and it was a great success with

the perfect facilities for parading, practicing and performing with this many youth involved. Final performance was an in-house concert on Sunday where each

band performed for their peers. The Cadets is a youth program sponsored by the Department of National Defense promoting

leadership, citizenship, physical fi tness and community involvement for Canada’s young people. Visit www.cadets.ca for more information.

Everybody get ready to say a big “bah humbug.” Go ahead..I’m ready. I deserve it. I mean it…you can all say it. I. don’t. like. Christmas. shopping. At all. Seriously.

Okay, hit me with the “bah humbug.”

It’s not that I’m opposed to gifts. I enjoy the surprises under the tree. My Scrooge-like at-titude (don’t cue up the ghost se-quences quite yet) is that despite our increased access to informa-

tion and awareness of all the struggles in our world, we continue to buy stuff to excess, all-the-while navigating the ‘what do you get for someone who has everything’ conundrum.

According to a 2014 survey, about 9% of Ameri-can families have done away with the practice of gift giving at Christmas. One of the respondents said it had changed everything since instead of spending time and money searching for presents for people who have too much, they put that money together to ensure everyone had the funds needed to get to grandpa and grandma’s for a family cel-ebration.

Another family shared the story of the year the grandparents headed to a bargain store and bought small, funny gifts that were gender neutral. They wrapped them all up and put them in a big bin. At Christmas, names were drawn and one-by-one people got to select which present they wanted.

The next year it was the teenagers who asked what time they were going to start the draw. They weren’t looking for expensive gadgets or high-priced clothes. They remembered the fun and laughter over the $2 items.

Every Christmas I try to read something from the Laura Ingalls Wilder series, or a book I stum-bled upon years ago called “The Biggest Day of the Year: the old-time school Christmas Concert.” What appeals to me most is the scarcity of resources all were faced with, yet the abundance of hard work and imagination that created memorable celebra-

tions. Foil wrappings were saved all year to be turned into stars and icicles. School boards scraped together what money they could to buy a small gift for each student.

Laura Ingalls talked about the excitement of Christmas morning as she shared, “In each stock-ing there was a pair of bright red mittens, and there was a long, fl at stick of red-and-white-striped pep-permint candy, all beautifully notched along each side.” That was all she received. That was all she needed. But oh, what appreciation she expressed.

I was on the phone with my 20-year old daugh-ter explaining that I didn’t want her spending much money on gifts for us knowing how tight fi nances can be for our young people starting out.

I went on and on about spending less on ourselves and giving more away when she said, “Mom, we can do both you know. How about just letting someone do something to show they love you.” She was absolutely right. The ‘bag humbug” in me was humbled.

If we aren’t blessed by the prospect of giving, perhaps we need to look at what we’re giving and why. Whether it is a gift to charity in someone’s name, something handmade, or a Christmas wish someone is hoping for, we will fi nd it a far more meaningful tradition if the focus is on the spirit of giving, and do away with the stress of the giver.

In the last couple of weeks I have heard some truly precious gift ideas: a grandmother who wrote a letter to each of her grandchildren at Christmas; a girl who told her dad that hanging lights with him was her favorite holiday activity; and a woman who’s elderly mother wants one thing--to sit and drink tea with her daughter while they watch “The Sound of Music.” The anticipation that can build for those types of things is far more precious than anything run through on a sales receipt.

Perhaps discovering the joy of gift giving does require us to be a little like Scrooge; recall the past and the excitement we had as children, allow anticipation to build in the present, and fi nd mean-ingful traditions to pass on to those will carry them into the future. Nothing bag humbug about that. That’s my outlook.

The other day I was reading through the comments on an article about how the Liberals have already run into trouble with keeping to their platform. Are there any political par-ties that have come in after a diff erent government has been in power for nearly a decade that was able to create immedi-ate change? The answer: No. Change takes time.

The article addressed the Liberals pulling fi ghter jets out of the Middle East and opting for a diff erent military contribu-tion, which as at the time I write this has not been released. I personally prefer when Canada acts in peace keeping missions as opposed to being as aggressive as Americans which under the Conserva-tive Government seemed to be the case.

The comment from the person “trolling” the news site stated, in reference to our Prime Minister, “He’s anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, as was his Father. And, I would be very surprised if he wasn’t very anti-American… also like the old man. My guess he actually sympathizes with ISIS.” This rather strong statement garnered 15 likes at the time I read it.

My fi rst thought, “Really? Just because our Prime Minister would rather take a diff erent role in the confl ict in the Middle East he is anti-Semitic and anti-Israel as well as an ISIS sympathizer? No.”

Looking at the historical legacy of Israel, I’m personally not sure it was the best decision and would actually argue the world possibly made a mistake in the way they went about creating Israel. It’s not the state of Israel I’m against, I just fi nd that its creation has been a source of contention in the Middle East ever since.

The land once belonged to Jewish people, but 2,000 years ago the Romans expelled the Jewish people from the land and since about the year 600 CE Muslim people began thriving there. The State of Israel was simply proclaimed on May 14, 1948, without the people there agreeing to it. In fact they called it “al-Nakba” or The Catastrophe.

I’m not surprised that there has never been peace. Palestine was divided up and Israel plunked down. 700,000 people were moved out of their homes and relocated because the rest of the world decided to create Israel. However, that land wasn’t empty; there were people there.

It’s really no wonder the Middle East is unhap-py with the Western world. Since Israel’s creation there has been continual confl icts with Egypt, West Bank, Gaza, Iran, Iraq during the war over Kuwait in 1991 and were under attack again in 2006 by Iraq, and Palestinian guerrillas based in Lebanon. It’s a place in this world that’s never seen peace.

It makes me think there had to have been a better way for establishing Zion because plunking down a country with its arbitrary borders displac-ing others was exactly the same as what happened 2,000 years earlier. It’s also similar to the parti-tion of British India. This became the largest mass migration of people in history. A series of borders were created and countries made at a whim which didn’t actually follow where people were living. They thought they were giving Hindus, Sikhs, and Muslims their own countries essentially, but the random borders of the countries created issues.

So, I feel as though the person who made the statement about or Prime Minister and the 15 people who liked his status may not understand the intricacies of the Middle East and how volatile it is there because the Western world drew up random boundaries without the consideration for those people that were already living there.

~ Albert Camus

Now I haven’t read the children’s book that tells the story of the Elf on the Shelf, but on the Elf on the Shelf webpage I discovered that it is a “special scout elf sent from the North Pole to help Santa Claus manage his naughty and nice lists.”

So, when a family adopts an elf it receives magic, which lets them fl y back to the North Pole each night to report back to Santa about the day’s activities. Then they return, some-times getting into their own mischief that evening after they return, and sits again to watch over the family.

I’ve seen photos of Elsa from Frozen having caught the elf in a giant ice cube, the elf has made a mess in the kitchen with fl our as they baked cookies, and I’ve even seen a photo of him having set up a barrel racing course to enjoy with a toy horse on a counter.

I’ve even been told by some people who have adopted an elf that if the child touches them while the elf is sitting perched there’s a chance they’ll lose their magic and be unable to report to Santa. This seems quite sad, I never asked if they can get their magic back, but I would hope so. What if a kid touches the elf by ac-cident?!

Now parents give the elf assistance as needed, if the elf goes to make cookies, the parent is usually awoken by the elf to fi nd all of the ingre-dients to use and where the bowls, etc… are, which means that helping out the elf can be a fair amount of work for the parent every night.

And the elf has to wake the parent up for help, not the kid, because they want the youth to have a good night’s sleep. This means kids will sleep

through the night and will be well rested for the next day. This means that the parent doesn’t always get to have a good sleep though as they sometimes help the elf or sit up worrying about what kind of shenanigans the elf might get up to.

It seems like a lot of work for the parent to me.The elf is a little bit materialistic too in my

opinion as there is a whole line of clothing for them as well. Elves wear their uniforms and have

grown up in the North Pole which means they are resilient in any weather, they’ve already dressed

for the weather, so do they really need other costumes?

Also, I understand that Santa needs to know who’s naughty or nice, but does he need to know everything that happens in a day? People make mistakes, kids make mistakes, and would it not be stressful if you make a mistake and know somebody is going to be reporting you to Santa.

It seems like a situation that would make kids worry about messing up and when you’re a kid you make mistakes, you have to learn from them and move on, but I just personally don’t know if I like the idea of someone always watching

you. Before, Santa would just check in on occasion throughout the year at random times without you really knowing when

he’s checking in. It means the kid is being more themselves than when they’re constantly

being watched to me.However, many people love having their elf

around and very much enjoy this new Christmas tradition. I’m just saying for someone looking in on the tradition that I don’t think I care for it, then again I haven’t read the Elf on the Shelf origin story either so I might be way off in my interpretation of it. And I guess elves need jobs too and these are the jobs Santa gave this particular group of elves.

When I fi rst learned about the stealthy signifi -cance of the “Elf on a Shelf,” I was in a Chapters store in Calgary and sure enough, the creepy little fella seemed to be the hot-ticket item that Christ-mas, with stores unable to keep him in stock.

The next year, ‘he’ became ‘it’, as the Elf was available to purchase as a male or female version. Then, the Elf was (fi nally!) manufactured with a variety of skin tones, and soon, the little creature started popping up on my Facebook page (most memorably-and hilariously-in a hot tub with Bar-bie).

Now that I’m acquainted with more young moms in this area, I am witnessing the eff ects of the Elf’s antics on kids I know personally. I won’t men-tion any names, but one smart, spunky kid I know in town woke up the entire household one night, seemingly terrifi ed and traumatized by the sight of the Elf in the family home.

So I am inclined to dislike this little plastic spy, whose job it is is to keep kids under seasonal sur-veillance and report back to the big guy at the North Pole nightly, through the month of December. That is, in addition to the Elf’s very presence making more work for parents, as they are inevitably pres-sured to come up with a slew of scenarios for the Elf to inhabit during an already busy pre-Christmas season.

However, in spite of my immature snickers at the Elf’s own seasonal slips on Facebook (see: Elf, Barbie), I have slightly revised my opinion on the little guy, thanks to a high-school English teacher named Stephen Womack.

This year, Womack, a teacher at R.F. Staples Secondary School in Westlock, Alberta, became a real-life “Elf on a Shelf” for the junior high and high-school students at his school. As his elf-y alter-ego, Yukon Cornelius, Womack shows up at the school every morning, ready to surprise students and staff . Acting as “a certifi ed naughty and nice specialist,” Womack has-so far- been found: making snow angels in a pile of fl our, on a swing suspended from the school’s (very high!) ceiling, atop a Christ-mas-wrapped car outside the school, and resplen-dent in a tux, escorting the school’s mascot at the annual school formal and more...which by the way, can be viewed on the Westlock Elf’s Instagram ac-count, @whattheelfontheshelf.

Womack’s portrayal of the Elf personifi es the best of the season. He’s giving of himself to spread some holiday cheer, as students and staff excitedly check out whereabouts of their school’s Elf each morning. One student even said he was, “Having the worst morning of my life, until I came to school and saw the Elf.”

And there are even attempts to land this par-ticular Elf’s antics on The Ellen Show.

With Womack, the Elf’s appearances are all good-hearted fun and entirely without an ulterior-and potentially unsettling-motive, which warms me towards the idea of the ‘Elf on a Shelf’ just a wee bit. However, I’m very grateful I didn’t have “Elf on a Shelf” to contend with in my mommying days, and I’m not certain I’d let the little plastic snitch in my house now.

Instead, I’ll just continue checking out The Elf’s activities on Facebook, because two can play that game. Right, Barbie?

The Carlyle Pee Wee team played the fi rst two games of three games in a row. Saturday they played an away game in Wawota, the rubber match being they won and lost to them previously. Carlyle came out with the victory with the score being 5 to 2 after one, 8 to 4 after 2 and then in the third Wawota came out strong and each team garnered a goal in the third, however, Wawota really took it to us and proved the game is not over until the game is over. We took four penalties to Wawota’s two penalties. The newly minted “Driver of the game” award was shared by

Caydence Chapman and Cooper Humphries. It should be noted it was their drive and determination that earned them the recognition. Nathan Simons surrendered it after earning it the previous game. Sunday was a home game against a strong Redvers Team. The team came out a little fl at being it seems that they had already accepted they were going to lose. We took 4 penalties to their 0, and, let us just say Logan Romaniuk was pelted with more pucks than could be counted. One of our defencemen even commented that he counted up to 12 shots in short order but then lost track being math was not one

Letter to the EditorThe Carlyle Sports Arena

Dear Editor, With hockey and skating season upon us, the rink board and facility ice technician have been fi elding many complaints and concerns regarding our facility - specifi cally why it’s so cold in the rink.

1) Why aren’t the heaters on?a. Water has unique properties. It boils at 100 degrees Celsius, freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and melts at 0 degrees Celsius. The ice is formed in the rink by removing heat from the water (on the surface) through piping under the concrete fl oor and existing ice layer. As the water goes from +1 degree (liquid) to -1 degree (solid) it takes LOTS more energy to undergo this change. The heaters are not on until freezing has taken place - giv-ing the water a chance to freeze more quickly.b. The radiant heaters warm what is directly under them but also spill some of this heat. This ambient heat raises the buildings air temperature. Our building has no way of control-ling this rising air temperature. Skating and hockey is actually only played on the thinnest top layer of the ice at the microscopic level. Op-timal temps at the surface should be -2 degrees to -5 degrees. When our building’s air temperatures get up to +4 degrees the surface no longer freezes properly causing pucks to stick and player safety to be compro-mised.c. At the start of a game the heat-ers are not running because the ice technician is often helping to get the time keepers and referees sorted out, waiting for the fl ood to freeze and watching to see where the crowd is

sitting. Where the crowd is sitting de-termines which heaters to turn on and how many, thus conserving energy and maintaining cooler air temps to maintain quality ice. d. With approximately 5 minutes left in the period (7 minutes if straight time) prior to a fl ood the heaters go off in an attempt to let those areas cool. This allows the fl ood to set up faster so the heaters can come on sooner.Because of this we encourage people to sit with the crowd, not in small groups of 2 or 3 people. The heaters can then be used more effi ciently. 2) Why can’t we be like Estevan, Whitewood, etc.?a) We are not Whitewood or Este-van. This rink was completed in 1968 and was not built with the standards necessary for the air temperatures to be higher. The building would require insulation, the sealing of the interior space away from the exterior, a heat exchange system, a way to control humidity and a larger refrigeration plant. Basically a brand new rink.b) When you compare these facilities you must compare things like build-ing’s age, structure and design. Sask Power did an energy audit on our facility about 3 years ago. This build-ing was found to be one of the more effi ciently ran in the province and was used as an example for other rinks of the same class to use as a model. We as a board are quite proud of that fact. Other rinks ask us “How do we get our ice to be better and building more energy effi cient?”

Squad members from Carlyle Fire & Rescue ready themselves to undertake cold-water rescue training, on Tuesday, Dec. 1. The training-which was held at the Merit Ford dugout near Carlyle-was held after dark and began with � re� ghters cutting a hole in the foot-deep ice surface, immersing themselves in the freezing water and carrying out mock rescues under extreme conditions. Before the exercise, members of the squad were reminded to follow safety procedures before any rescue. “It really is about safety � rst,” says Fire Captain Rob Klassen. “We have to make sure we’re protected ourselves, because if we put ourselves at risk, then we can’t do our job-which is helping other people.”

Recently, 10 � re� ghters from Carlyle Fire & Rescue-Brock Andrew, Adam Bee, Eric Brown, John Brownlee, Taylor Hoey, Rob Klassen, Michelle Orsted, Jordan Simmons, Chris Spry and Travis Van Meer- participated in cold water rescue training at the Merit Ford dugout near Carlyle. “We do train on a regular basis,” says Fire Captain Rob Klassen. “We’re not just a bunch of guys doing it by the seat of our pants. It’s a large commitment-with practice times and our regular meetings. But we need to respond to calls 365 days a year, seven days a week. And what we do, we take very seriously.” Here, members put on cold-water rescue suits, which allow them to immerse themselves in frigid waters long enough for them to lift a victim to safety.

Fire� ghters repack a “throw bag,” which is a bag packed with nylon rope. If an individual is trapped in water, but is conscious and able to move, rescuers will � rst toss them the bag and once they grab it, � re� ghters can pull them safely to shore. “It’s our � rst line of defence,” says Fire Captain Rob Klassen. “And if they’re able, it allows us to get someone out of the water and onto shore as quickly as possible.”

During cold water rescue training, Carlyle Fire & Rescue members learn various techniques for rescuing someone who is submerged in frigid water. One of these scenarios involves a � re� ghter tethering a victim to their back and dragging them to safety. In that case, tethering techniques must leave nothing to chance and are one of the skills squad members must practice and perfect in less-than-ideal conditions.

Fire� ghter Chris Spry and son Damien pause for a photo in the Carlyle Fire Hall before Chris heads out for cold-water rescue training. As one of Carlyle Fire & Rescue’s 24 members, Spry-like his fellow squad members-has to be ready for calls that include extinguishing grass and structure � res, responding to motor vehicle accidents, dealing with situations involving hazardous materials, snowmobile rescues and aquatic rescues. “”We really do a bit of everything,” says Fire Captain Rob Klassen. “And the satisfaction comes from helping our community.”

Mother Nature has given a very nice fall and into the winter---however, we have had a taste of rain, ice, snow and trees coated with their white jackets- lessons we have had drive slow, watch your step and enjoy life.

Gerry and Halina Hourd travelled to Yorkton on Saturday to visit with Gerry’s brother Edward who had surgery recently and his wife Bernie. They continued on to Foam Lake for an early Christmas gathering with Halina’s family. The two granddaughters Brooklyn (2) and Katelynn (3 months) were there and fi lled everyone’s faces with smiles and hearts with love. They had a great weekend.

December 11th to 15th, Stewart and Connie Dayle enjoyed having their daughter Danielle from Regina, granddaughter Ava and grandson Porter Frank (his fi rst visit). They also visited with other family members especially great grandparents Doug and Dell Dayle.

Living in a small town-some folks think there is nothing to do however, this past while it has been a busy place with a bingo last Monday. Winners: Lil-lian Hardy, Esther and Joe Barsi, Gloria Bourhis, Dee Brickley, Della Szilagyi, Agnes and Marvin Hyde, Pat Heines, Ashlyn Dovell. Carla Dovell won the 50/50 draw. A number of door prizes were won, thanks to everyone who took part in the evening and a special thanks to our visitors.

The Kennedy Langbank school had their Santa Day, when the community was invited to attend, yes, some of the seniors had their photos taken with Santa. Music was supplied by David and Heather McMillan, children had a chance to do Christmas shopping for their parents, sleigh rides were for every-one, hot dogs and goodies were free for the taking. A great afternoon for all. The old time dance was also held on Saturday, there was a fairly good crowd, everyone had a great time - a couple of small children enjoyed the afternoon learning to do some of the dances. Janet Kessler of Kipling and Beth Miller of Moosmin shared the 50/50 draw, a number of folks enjoyed winning the spot dances, Jerry Kessler, Adeline Markle, Bob and Marion Hourd, Stewart Law-rence, Jeannette Poirier. Again there was lots of food and the music was great. Watch for posters for the upcoming dance in January. The United Church had their Blue Christmas service which was well attended, both the United Church and Catholic Church held their Christmas potluck dinners and nativity presen-tations this past Sunday. Take time to have a tour around the village to view the decorations at the homes and especially the memory gardens.

There were a number of folks from Kennedy who attended the “Hints of Harmony” Christmas program at Wawota on Sunday evening which was held in the United church (the fi rst time I have been there, what a great investment, hours of planning, collecting money, etc. a very worthy project). The evening included a number of younger folks taking part, the singing was awesome, thanks for the entertainment and thanks to Santa for his visit. The young folks certainly enjoyed his visit and they were all given a gift.

This year seems to be fi lled with donations for food and clothing for the needy, in Kennedy the response has been very good.

Many family members and friends of the late Ken Colborn gathered at the Wawota Town Hall on Friday, Dec. 11 to pay their respects. Ken had passed away on Dec. 6 at the age of 84 years. Ken was an active member of the com-munity, served in the Korean War and was involved in the Legion and the Museum. He and his wife of 60 years Joan were active members of the Free Methodist Church. A private family interment took place at Sunset Gardens in Moosomin.

The Lions Club of Wawota hosted the seniors once again at a supper held on Tuesday, Dec. 8. This was the 47th annual Christmas meal supplied by the Lions. Nicki Ford and Mark Humpheries entertained after the meal. What a great Christmas gift this is and as far as I am concerned it was the best yet!!

The Hints of Harmony held their annual Christmas Concert at the United Church last Sunday. This is always a well attended event with not only the Hints musical talent but several younger singers and players. I heard that Santa Claus was also in attendance!!

Sunday, Dec. 13 the church bulletins were dedicated to the late Shelly Corkish. Shelly passed away last December and although she was only in her forties she had contributed her time and energy to many causes. She worked especially hard as a member of the Raise the Rafters group and the comple-tion of our new sanctuary is partly due to her commitment. For this we give thanks!!

So many books, so little time. Last July I ordered Harper Lee’s book, “ Go Set a Watchman” and fi nally received it this past week. I have just started to read it and plan on reporting on it when I am fi nished. The story thus far is interesting but perhaps the history of the book in more interesting. Apparently Harper Lee wrote this story in the 1950’s and when she submitted it to the publishers, it was refused. Later she wrote ,”To Kill a Mockingbird” which was published and became well known world wide. In 2014 this transcript, which was thought to be lost was discovered and it was published in 2015. Although it was written fi rst, it is the story of the children from “To Kill a Mockingbird” as grown -ups. So it makes sense to read ,”Go Set a Watchman” only after you have read ,”To Kill a Mockingbird”.

Word was received of the death of Cliff ord Barber of Shannavon, SK who passed away on December 7, 2015 at the age 71. Cliff was the son of Pauline Barber (Carnduff ). He was predeceased by his father Garnett (2000), brother Wayne (1990), sister Valerie (1967) and nephew Jason (2005). Sincere sympathy is extended to his wife Marie and son Tim (Grand Prairie, AB) and family. Condo-lences are also extended to all other Barber family members.

Act One Productions held their auditions for the play “A Party to Murder” on Wednesday, De-

cember 9. The follow-ing persons will be this year’s cast members – Tim Cowan, Wes Smith, Rachelle Smith, Shanna Carriere, Margaret Peet and Tracy Praski. Good

Luck to these actors/actresses as they prepare for the production.

On Saturday, December 12 the drama tickets went on sale at the Hall. There were approximately six waiting (since the wee early hours of the morn-ing) for the tickets to arrive and begin their sales. They are still a popular item to purchase and a great Christmas gift for that something special.

Shelly and Ainsley Cowan spent December 12-13 visiting in Minot with the Nilsen family and doing some shopping.

We have now had a taste of winter, the white blanket is covering everything, but temperature wise - it’s not bad at all (as long as the wind stays away). One shouldn’t complain too much though as we could have had a month or more, so this has surely helped to shorten the season. One more week and it will be offi cially winter by the calen-dar – sure hope it that doesn’t bring the real cold temperatures. El Nino is much appreciated right now, should help to dry out the ground and maybe one can get back to farming all their land. I do believe that this is the last week of school before the holidays, so one will be busy – with attending Christmas concerts and getting things done around home before the little ones are there to lend their helping hands. Oh time does fl y by so quickly – we’ll soon be saying goodbye to the whole year. Just a reminder to please call me (306-443-2496)

or text (306-485-8561) or e-mail ([email protected]) with your news, I greatly appre-ciate all the help you provide. Until next time – Keep smiling – Think positive – Drive safely and Take care.

Country recording artist, Eli Barsi, who grew up north of Carlyle in Kennedy and now calls Moosomin home, stopped by the Moose Mountain Lodge on Wednesday, Dec. 9. Barsi, a country singer, was well enjoyed by the residents as she shared with them her original country songs, original Christmas songs, and covers of old favourites. All residents were tapping their toes are keeping time by tapping their � ngers or hands lightly on tables. While performing, Barsi also impressed many residents with her yodelling abilities. Her performance was a nice way to bring holiday cheer to the residents at Moose Mountain Lodge. The performance at the lodge followed her Hometown Christmas held in Kennedy on Friday, Dec. 4, and Saturday, Dec. 5.

The Viewfrom the desk ofMarga Cugnet,CEO,Sun Country Health Region

Gratitude is in Season! Some hae meat and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it; But we hae meat, and we can eat, Sae let the Lord be thankit.-- The Scots Selkirk Grace. The previous saying is a simple prayer from a simpler time, intended to give thanks to a higher power for meeting simple desires. It’s a notion I especially like to remember at Christmas, the season when we may overindulge in food and drink and gift-giving and sentimentality and emotion. If we’re not giving, we’re receiving and if we’re doing neither we often feel deprived. Christmas and the holiday season can be a tough time for people with little and equally dif cult for people with a lot if the expectations are very high. I have three wishes for this Christmas: A little moderation of the expectations, a little moderation of the indulgences, a little moderation of the emotions. The residents of this part of the province are among the most fortunate in the world. Despite some economic dif culties in some corners, we are relatively prosperous and very peaceful. For the most part, we have good food, warm homes, family, friends and acquaintances. We are out of the line of re when it comes to the violence and warfare experienced in so many other parts of the world. We even have enjoyed an incredible period of good weather this fall. It has been a very good year. Let us focus on giving, especially to those with challenges, and being good neighbours, rather than receiving. During this joyful season, members of the Sun Country Regional Health Authority, the Leadership Team, Staff and Physicians of Sun Country Health Region send you the warmest wishes for this festive season and all the best as we approach the New Year.

Arcola Buck Night honours Darlene Chapman

2015’s Arcola Buck Night at Prairie Place Hall also boasted the event’s largest attendance to date, in honour of ABN member Darlene Chapman-who sadly passed away in October 2015. Committee members Brenda Milligan (left) and Lindsay Brownridge (right) are pictured here, and Milligan says, “Darlene and her husband Je� have been part of ABN for 15 years. In July 2014, Darlene was diagnosed with breast cancer and in October 2015, she lost her battle. Proceeds from this year’s event will go to the Chapman family as well as the ‘Look Good, Feel Better’ program.”

Caydence C., grade 6 This is the story of the best Christmas ever. It started when Shay-lynne ran downstairs and found an empty space under the tree where she expected her presents to be. Shay-lynne had no idea whee her Christmas presents were, maybe her Christmas present was too big to go under the tree. Shay-lynne said, “Where is my Christmas presents?” As Shay-lynne was looking around the house, she saw a white pompom and heard a noise. The noise was coming from the living room. Shay-lynne and her family had their stockings up, but noticed that they were gone. Then Shay-lynne heard a big BOOM, it came from the chimney. So Shay-lynne went back to bed and fell asleep. In the morning when Shay-lynne woke up, she went down to the living room and a big present was under the tree with Shay-lynne’s name on it. Shay-lynne screamed “Santa Claus came” and he fi lled our stockings too!

Hannah L., grade 6 This is the story of the best Christmas ever. It started when Hannah ran downstairs and found an empty space under the tree where she expected her presents to be. I thought for a second, where are my presents? I felt sad, so I went to wake my parents, but they were not in bed! I got scared, so I ran to the telephone but it was ripped out of the wall! I didn’t know what to do, should I go look for them or stay where it is safe. I then heard a thump, thump, thump, someone was at the door. I looked out the window to see who it was and seen that it was my sister, Mackenzie, who looked frozen like an icicle. She was so cold! I ran as fast as I could to open the door, but it was froze shut. I cranked the heat, so the door could thaw out. It worked. I told Kenzie to come in, but she needed help so I picked her up and brought her in. I asked her where Mom and Dad were and she said, at work. I asked why at work and she said because it’s only December 24th!

Kara B., grade 5 It was Christmas Eve and everyone was in bed. The clock ticked towards midnight but I couldn’t sleep. When I fi nally fell asleep I woke up and thought it was Christmas morning. It was so early thought, it was 3:00 in the morning. So I snuck into the living room and turned on the Christmas lights on the tree and looked through my stocking and there was little presents in my stocking. I got an orange, chocolates, and some shampoo. I put all the stuff back into my stocking and just sat and stared at the Christmas lights for hours and hours. I fell asleep on the couch. When I woke up it was 5:00 in the morning, so I shut off the Christmas lights on the tree and went back to bed. When I woke up it was 8:00 in the morning and everybody was up. We opened our stockings fi rst (don’t tell anybody that I was up and looked through my stocking already, shhhh). After we had all opened our stockings we opened presents. When it was my turn I heard a meow, when I opened it, I found a kitten. I named it Princess.

The Christmas season truly is the most wonderful time of the year. It is a time when friends and family come together to celebrate the blessings that occur in our day-to-day lives. It is also a time to relax and enjoy a slower pace of life as we gear up for the new year. When the holiday season arrives, it is almost palpable. The decorations, lights, and Christmas music infuse a certain spirit into the air that is not found during any other time of year. As the people weave through the streets while doing their shopping, the smiles on their faces make it clear: Christmas has arrived.We are so fortunate to live in this wonderful country where there are many opportunities to get outdoors

with your loved ones and enjoy many of the fun winter activities that Canada has to off er. I encourage all of you to get involved this holiday season. As I drove to work this morning with a light dusting of snow all around, I heard “The Gift of Christmas” by Gipp Forster playing on the radio. I always love hearing these tales at this time of year. It always makes me smile, occasionally brings a tear to my eye, as well as dream of days gone by and those to come. As Member of Parliament for Souris – Moose Mountain, I would like to extend my best wishes to all constituents for a Merry Christmas fi lled with love and happiness, and a Happy New Year.

Christmas Greetings 2015 from Robert Kitchen

The Crazy Reindeer The very fi rst Christmas a crazy reindeer was born. He wiggled and jiggled then he woke up. Three years past by and he started to get crazy. He did fl ips somersaults. But one day, when he was about six years old when he had to leave because of how crazy he was. He ran far in the forest where he was alone. The little reindeer’s name is Sven. He was very sad. Why Sven had to leave was he was crazy and did not fi t in. Sven was the craziest reindeer ever. Twelve years he stopped being crazy and he came back home. All the reindeer got very happy to see Sven back home. Sven stopped being CRAZY and fi t in. By Sarah Goudygrade 3Stoughton school

Stoughton School grades 3 & 4 continuedThe Lost Reindeer

Once upon a time there was a reindeer named Rudolph. He was going on a trip to Mexico with Santa so they were getting to the airport. So Rudolph went to get a Christmas cookie and Santa got on the plane and then Santa sat down and the plane left. Then Santa said, “Where is Rudolph?” And he was still eating cookies. Then he went to where the plane was and he said, “Where is Santa?” And then Rudolph fl ew and jumped but the plane was fast and it fl ew away without him. So then Rudolph had an idea. He went to go ask for directions to Mexico so he fl ew for days and I mean days so he fi nally got to Mexico and he said, “How do I fi nd Santa in this huge city?” So then he called Santa’s phone number. “Hi Santa ? It is me Rudolph.” “Oh hi Rudolph. I am at the hotel in Mexico,” said Santa. “Ok bye. See you there,” said Rudolph. So he got to the hotel and said, “Oh Santa, I missed you so much !!” “So did I !!!,” said Santa, “Let’s go sit in the sun,” said Santa. “Ok,” said Rudolph and they lived happily ever after. By: Aaliyah Walbaumgrade: 4Stoughton School

Once upon a time Santa had mechanical problems. And Santa’s reindeer ran away. The elves went on skidoos to fi nd the reindeer. They didn’t fi nd the reindeer. The elves dressed up like reindeer. The elves rode back on the skidoos with the suits on. Santa said, “Where’s the reindeer ?” The elves fi xed the sled. Now that the sled was fi xed, they could deliver the presents. By Rhett TannerGrade 4, Stoughton School

The First Christmas Once upon a time there was a fox and she met a wolf. They had babies and their names were Waffl e and Wafer and Jingles. ingles said, “What’s this?” “It’s snow,” said the fox. “Cool,” said Jingles. And there was a house and “What’s that on the house?” all three said. “It’s decorations for Christmas on the 25th”, they said. They wanted Christmas right now. But they had Christmas when Christmas came. They baked meat bisquits. They put up a Xmas tree AND they woke up and ran down the stairs and under the Christmas there were presents!!!!!!By Lucas Eagan Grade 3Stoughton School

All about Christmas Once upon a time, it was Christmas. People were decorating and putting their Christmas tree up. It was Christmas night and people were going to sleep. Then Santa put presents under their trees. Then the people woke up and looked under their trees. Then they opened their presents. Some people who were naughty, they didn’t get cool presents like the other kids. Then they had really good fun with their families and their toys.By Jhett Brigden Grade 3 Stoughton School

Santa’s First Gift Santa woke up for Christmas and he went to the elves to go get his coat and his pants and his belt and his hat but his hat was missing. He had no time to look for it. So he went without his hat and he did not realize that he left the presents. Then he went into a storm. The storm hit them and all the reindeer fl ew away. The reindeer went back to the elves and then the reindeer saw Santa’s hat. The reindeer wrapped up the hat and then they found Santa Claus. They all wanted Santa to wake up. And one day Santa woke up the reindeer and they all gave Santa a present. Santa was so happy that the reindeer all found the hat. When he got better from the storm, he gave all the children a present. The reindeer really loved Santa so they picked up Santa. They went to give Santa a very special gift. It was a new sled because the old sled was falling apart and they fl ew away. Jessie Pascua Grade 3, Stoughton School

Fun at Christmas I remember a Christmas at my grandma’s house. We had a delicious supper and dessert. We got lots and lots of gifts. Two of the gifts given to me were two robot dogs! One was a boy and he was big! The other was a girl and she was little! I decorated her. We played lots of games. Me and my cousins went downstairs and we played with fl ashlights. We liked hiding with our fl ashlights off and then the tagger tries to fi nd us. If the tagger found us we turn on our fl ashlights. We went upstairs when our moms and dads called us. It was a fun Christmas at grandma’s house.By Hunter MankoGrade 3, Stoughton School

It was Christmas eve and there was a boy named Charlie and he was so excited for Christmas so it got to twilight so he had to go to bed. So he woke up in the middle of the night and he heard a noise so he ran out and he saw Santa. So he pretended to be asleep so the next morning he didn’t want to get out of bed. His mom got him out of bed and he saw lots of presents for him and he opened them all.By Grayson Clements Grade 3, Stoughton School

Going to Grandma’s House My Mom and I go to my Grandma’shouse so we can set up the Christmas tree. We put the tree together and then we put on the Christmas lights and all the ornaments. We make a Christmas list of what we want for presents. It is fun to think of what we want. We celebrate with a Christmas dinner then we open the presents. And then we go to bed Every day before Christmas we do a prayer before bed. By Davin Cheney - Grade 3, Stoughton School

One cold winter day there were four kids named Lane, Slumber, Polar and Whisker. They all wanted pets and videogames. But unfortunately at Santa’s workshop, the elves were making too many toys for another kid. They put in double the toys for ds tablets and other stuff . So when it was Christmas Eve, Santa was delivering his presents but his reindeer were sick. He had to stop at his last place which was the boys’ house. They woke up and 4064 toys were lying around. Dad said “I told you Santa was bad at delivering presents.’’ Polar said, “Who cares!’’ and he jumped into the presents and he tried to fi nd his name. He found his name 7 times and so did the other kids. They got 9 tablets, 5 ds, and 64 Iphones. And then they found SANTA and they helped them get home.Aiden Baker Grade 4, Stoughton School

The Lost Baby Deer On Christmas Eve there was a herd of deer and one family of deer. And the mom and dad had a little baby deer named Bambi. And his dad worked for Santa and his dad worked very hard so he can keep seeing his boy. But one day Bambi’s dad passed away. But Santa gave them a deer for them to survive. But Bambi doesn’t like talking to the deer but his mom looks after him. One day Bambi and his mom were going for a walk. Then Bambi wanted his friend to come so he asked his mom if he can bring a friend. And his mom said “ok.” “Ok” said Bambi. And one friend came and her name is Fleny. And her mom said “yes”. Then they asked their moms if they can go for a little walk in the woods. “Ok” said the moms. Then Bambi kicked the tree and snow fell in front of Fleny and she ran away. Then Bambi said, “Fleny, Fleny where are you?” No one was there. So Bambi followed the foot prints where Fleny had stepped there. Then he found his mom. And his mom said, “Where were you Bambi?” and Bambi said, “I miss you.” So they spent Christmas Eve together.By Brianne Ksenych Grade 4, Stoughton School

The Elf that went to the Woods Once upon a time there was an elf and he was eating and he said, “I’m bored.” The elf decided to go on a journey through the woods. “I think I need some water and food,” said the elf. Off the elf went on his journey. The elf got lost. “Oh, no where is my house. I think I see smoke. Wait a minute! I left my pie in the stove. I can follow it home.” So he continued on his way. “Wait ! There are more than one house smoking. Which one is it? I think it is the one on the left. No right! No left! No right! I will go left instead of the right because I remember that I went right when I started.” So the elf went right. “Hey I found Santa’s workshop.” “Who are you?” Santa said. “I have no name,” said the Elf. “Ok,” said Santa, “I will bring you home.”By Brighton CoderreStoughton School, Grade 3

Seeing Santa On Christmas day, it was Jake’s birthday. In the morning for breakfast he had pancakes and then it was time to play games. Jake played tag and hide and seek and I spy. It was time to open presents and he got what he wanted and he said, “I’m eight!!” That night he saw Santa. He yelled to mom and dad. The dad said, “What?” Mom said, “I saw Santa honey!! Jake said, “Santa is real.” Then Jake ran to his room and he cried. Then it was Christmas and his mom and dad ware staring at Santa. Then Santa fl ew away. Then mom called 911. She wanted them to call her if they ever saw him again. Then the family had a happy new year.By Chayse HemphillGrade 3, Stoughton School

Santa’s trouble at Christmas Once upon a time there was a big Santa Claus and he was in charge of the North Pole. And he decided to go to Hawaii and he totally forgot about Christmas. And he all of a sudden got a call from Mrs. Claus. It is Christmas in a week. And he forgot about Christmas so he freaked out. So he thought and he said, “I have to get a plane ticket right now but the plane tickets costed $30.” So he got one plane ticket. It took him four days to get to the North Pole. Then Mrs. Claus got mad at him and said, “There are two days until Christmas. Get your elves up and tell them to get to work. They only made 40 gifts for 40 kids. Now go tell them to get to work!!!” Mrs. Claus got really mad at him because one he didn’t tell her where he was going and two he had to tell his elves to get to work and three he had to drop off the gifts and put it under the tree.By Emmah DelormeGrade 3, Stoughton School

Stoughton School grades 3 & 4 continuedThe reindeer that went on vacation

Once there was a reindeer named Dansher and he wanted to go on a vacation to the Arctic Circle. But he didn’t know that he lived at the Arctic Circle. He still wanted to go on a vacation. His little brother Comet wanted to go with Dansher. Dansher started packing for his vacation. Pransher is Dansher’s big cousin. Pransher said ‘’Go to Alaska.’’ Comet said, “No Dansher is going to the Arctic circle”. Pransher said “ How are you going to get to the Arctic Circle?” “By hoof ” said Dansher.’’ “Ok, let’s go Comet,” said Dansher. They started travelling around the world looking for the Arctic Circle. When they got back home, they didn’t fi nd it. Dansher asked Santa, “ Where is the Arctic Circle?” Santa said, “You live at the Arctic Circle. That is right here so your vacation can be right here at home!!”By Bronte Big EagleGrade 3, Stoughton School

The Magic Snowman There once was a guy named Charlie who made a snowman that was backwards. But it was no ordinary snowman it was magic. But one day a snow storm hit and blew the snowman into a nearby forest and while he was getting blown away, sticks got blown on him and gave him legs. Then the wind stopped. He was far from home and was lost. So he got up and saw smoke. He followed the smoke to a house, the people were a little scared but then they got used to him. He asked for directions back to Magicville but they didn’t know where Magicville was. The snowman was very sad and he was crying ice blocks. And then he remembered it was Christmas so he could ask Santa for directions plus Santa promised to help all snowman in need so that night Santa took the snowmen to the North Pole. Santa saw the snowman wasn’t melting so Santa said, “Why don’t you teleport home?” So the snowman teleported home in time so Charlie didn’t notice. By Carson BaumgartnerStoughton School, Grade 4

THE BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS On Christmas Mica wanted to see SANTA, and Mica was so excited to see her gift. One day it was night and SANTA put Mica’s gift in front of the Christmas tree, and now it was morning Mica laughed because she saw a beautiful gift. Her mom and dad woke up and her mom and dad said, “What did SANTA give you?” “My favorite book, but how did SANTA know my favorite?” said Mica. Her mom and dad said, “Because SANTA all knows our favorites!” “Oh! SANTA gave this to me because SANTA loves all of us,” Mica said, “Can I open it please. I want to read it!” Someone knocked on the door, and Mica opened the door. “Merry Christmas Mica,” she heard. Mica says, “Mom and dad, it’s my cousins, and Auntie” The three cousins asked, “What did SANTA give you?” Mica said, “It’s a book with stickers that are eight colors.” Her cousins said, “That is so beautiful. Can we see it?” Then another cousin said, “Do you have another gift?” “Yes,” said Mica, “it’s a doll house SANTA gave me!!” “Ho, ho, ho,” she heard. “Who said that? Is that SANTA?” she wondered. “Yes it’s me SANTA!”he said. The girls hugged SANTA, and SANTA had candy for all the girls. THE ENDBY:GILIAN BOQUIRENGrade 4, Stoughton School

Stella’s Christmas Fun On Christmas eve night this little girl named Stella was so excited for Christmas that she went to bed so early so it would be quicker to open presents. She woke up at 2 in the morning because she thought it was 8. When she did wake up she went downstairs, looked at the Christmas tree and there was nothing there! Stella got upset and she sat down and she heard something strange like a fall. She went back to the Christmas tree. She hid right away because she saw SANTA! She was so happy after all. But Santa looked a bit hurt, so she walked to him slowly and tapped his shoulder. He turned around in fright and said, ‘’Oh it is just a little girl. Umm ho, ho, Merry Christmas,’’ said Santa,‘’What would you like for Christmas?’’ Stella said, ‘’a pony or a purple fuzzy winter coat.’’ “Ha ha,’’ said Santa, “now go to sleep and you will be in Christmas morning in no time.’’ ‘’Ok,” said Stella. She went upstairs and fell asleep. Next she woke up it was 8 o’clock. So she went downstairs to the tree and she saw the tree full of presents. Her parents came downstairs to open presents too. She opened her fi rst present on her present she had a card that said ‘’from Santa to Stella: Look outside in your fence. You will receive something you want.’’ So Stella looked outside and there was a pony. A lovely painted pony. Stella screamed in happiness. She had no idea that was coming. Stella and her parents were excited. The next night Santa came back to tell Stella to give this note to her parents! It said “You now have a hidden present that you will love and you will need to use it for the pony.” They found it on the window sill. It had the money for a mansion and still have lots for the pony. So right away they went shopping for the stuff for the pony to keep it healthy and protected, and happy. Stella was happy if her pony was.Tia Dupas Grade 4, Stoughton School

Stoughton School grades 3 & 4 continuedThe Elf Problem

One Christmas eve, the elves were working hard on making presents. They had to make 40 000 presents. One elf named Raper said, “We are only at 4,071!” But they had a lot more to make. But suddenly Santa said, “The reindeers and I have to leave in two hours!” And Cony the elf said, “We have to work super dewper hard to get 40 000 presents!” IN ONLY TWO HOURS! And then Rudolph yelled, “I can’t go. I’m sick’’. And the other reindeers said, “We are too tired to go”. So Santa said, “I guess I’m going on my own.” But Conrad said, “But how are you going to get to 4,000 houses if you can’t fl y?” Santa thought, “Well I am going to have to fi nd an idea I guess”, so he was already thinking for 40 minutes and he had to fi nd one in 60 minutes. And fi nally Santa thought of one. He maybe thought he could get an elf to drive a skidoo. So he decided to ask Rumbel. And Rumbel said, “I am way too short”. “Well,” said Santa, “I guess we will have to make a tower of elves”. So now the elves had only one more hour. But in the end it all worked out the elves pulled Santa on his sled. And the reindeers were having a party they were not sick and tired. They just didn’t want to deliver to houses this year! So in the end it all worked out! Shelby Vogel Grade: 4, Stoughton Central School

The Lucky Coin The day before Christmas a guy named Kaden found a weird looking coin on the ground. Then when he went play football with his friends. He used that coin for the coin toss. When it landed, he disappeared. When he reappeared he found himself at the North Pole. He knew he was there because of the sign that said North Pole. He walked so he walked and walked until he came to a huge mansion that said Santa’s big workshop so he decided to sneak in undetected. Then he saw a big fat round guy with a big white beard. Then Kaden said, “Oh my lanta!” and he fainted. Everybody heard ca-thunk so Santa sent his dummy elf to see what it was. He said to Santa, “He looks more dumb than me.” So the elf decided to dump some hot chocolate on his head mixed with Tabasco sauce also red and green peppers too. That sure woke him up so Santa took him and gave him something he always wanted: a dirtbike.By: Kaden Piper Grade 4, Stoughton School

The Lucky Snowman There was a snowman that came to life and it was Christmas day. The snowman was in a town and Santa fl ew by him and he stopped at the snowman. He told the snowman he would bring him to the North Pole so he would stay alive. If he stayed at the town it soon wouldn’t be any snow and he would melt and he wouldn’t be alive. So Santa brought the snowman to the sled. The ride there was bumpy and the snowman drank some hot chocolate and melted a little. Then Santa got to the North Pole and the snowman hopped off the sled. He went to Santa’s workshop and he saw a bunch of presents. Santa had to leave to deliver the rest of the presents to the kids and the snowman asked Santa if he could come with him and Santa said, “Sure I could use some help.” So they got to one house and the snowman melted a bit more because the chimney was lit. Then Santa gave them presents under the Christmas tree and they went to the next house and then that time Santa only went because the snowman didn’t want to get melted anymore. Then Santa fi nished and came back up. So then they got in the sled and left to the North Pole. Then everyone at the North Pole was happy and they all started a party.

Stoughton School continuedThe Christmas Speck

Kye when to bed at nine and he dreamed oh so kind. Kye woke up at nine thirty.

Oh so very bright he saw a speck in his window. So Kye walked out of bed to see what was this Christmas speck was.

But once Kye found what it was only a traffi c light. So he crawled into bed and then the clock hand changed to ten so he went to bed. But he couldn’t help think if only he saw that Christmas speck again, so Kye decided to jump out of bed and he got a drink of water. Then

he heard Santa at the same time he saw the Christmas speck.

So he only had one choice but he couldn’t make up his mind. And that’s when Santa popped out of the chimney too and hid.

Santa told Kye to follow his heart and so he did. He climbed up the mountain and over Valley Hill street and Kye was very, very tired but that didn’t stop him. So he climbed and he climbed. And fi nally he found the speck. There was a basket that said: Kye Blue Bird, congratulations! Meet your baby sister Vanessa. And that’s when Santa picked them up and brought them home where their parents were waiting for them.

2013 Christmas

On Christmas Eve I was wanting to wake up really early for one reason and one reason only… Christmas! My family has a rule that nobody is allowed to open presents until everybody has woken up. So my sister Sarah and I went to my basement and purposely played a game really loud so that everybody would wake up. Then, we went upstairs after a while and looked at the size and shape of all of our presents. I realized I had more presents than Sarah did. It was very confusing. Most years we are very equal. Then, when everybody woke up we ran as fast as we could to the living room and started opening our stockings, which were nicely hung over the burning fi replace. We took them down and started pulling out presents. My sister Sarah looked at a present for like 3 seconds before pulling out another one. I actually wanted to look at some of the presents for a while. I wanted to actually check them out. Not long after, my whole family had woken up, uncles, aunties grandparents, cousins, and my parents. We opened all of our presents and it was so fun. Sarah got a present that she wanted to check out so we went to go and set it up. After 10 minutes we heard my mom say “Sarah you have one more present. The present was outside. We saw a pony! “That is why I had more presents” I said to Sarah.

Sledding Adventure

It was a sunny, weekend. My whole family was together. My dad was driving the quad pulling a chair. The chair started falling apart. Then dad stopped! We were okay. We got off and I laughed. We all went home and warmed up by the fi re.

The Kids in Candy Land

One night on Christmas Eve, two kids, Diane and Ryan, were going to stay up all night to fi nd Santa and see him. They also wanted to video tape Santa. Then that night SANTA CAME! The children were wide awake. Ryan, who was 6 years old, ran out into the open. Diane, who was 11 years old, went out to grab him but Santa was turning around and would see them. So, Diane pushed Ryan into Santa’s bag. They thought that was okay for now and then they could run out when Santa was leaving. Then, Ryan got stuck on a skipping rope and couldn’t get out. Diane was trying to get him out but it was wrapped around his foot. Santa picked up his bag and went up the chimney with the kids in the bag. When they stopped somewhere, they smelled candy. They got out of the bag and Santa saw them. He said “How did you get in here?” They looked at him and told him the story. He showed them around and they wanted to stay so Santa let them. They worked as elves for the rest of their lives.

The Miracle on Christmas day

One day, a girl named Ashley didn’t believe in miracles but she had a faith in God. She was a clever girl and she worked hard, very hard every day.

On December 15th, she will have the greatest test in her life, it will aff ect 70% of her grades. So she studied all day, she worked hard but when she was studying she suddenly collapsed. Her parents were freaking out. She was laying down in the hospital bed and she was dreaming. She saw a beautiful place, a peaceful place then in her dream she heard a voice, a voice of God.

She was shocked God spoke and said “My child, you are a hard worker. I don’t want you suff ering like this and I want you to understand you are a miracle. I love you so much and I will show you the real miracle on Christmas day.”

She woke up on December 25, 2002 at 12:00 am, Christmas Day. When she woke up she saw God with her own eyes. Then God suddenly disappeared just like magic. Her parents came and they hugged her as tight as they could. She now believed the miracle of Christmas day. Ashley had a big smile on her face but suddenly she remembered something. She forgot her exam. She slept for like 15 days straight. On the next day someone called. It was her teacher saying that she failed. Ashley hung up. After 5 minutes someone called again. It was her teacher again. The teacher opened her mouth and said “I’m just kidding, I didn’t mean to scare you there. You can take the test on January 10th.” Again, she was happy. She was very thankful that happened to her and that was her awesome Christmas day!By: Francine Dian D. Magno

What Christmas really means

Christmas is amazing. I think sometimes people think Christmas is about the presents. Well, that is not the true meaning of Christmas. I am going to tell you what Christmas really means. Christmas is about families all over the world join for one amazing night. On Christmas you get this warm and fuzzy feeling that you can only get on Christmas. Christmas is about having time for our amazing families. Christmas is not about electronics it’s about sitting down with our families doing something together. Christmas is about giving and being so happy! Listening to cheesy music and dancing to have fun. Christmas is awesome and that is what Christmas really means!!!!

Christmas 2014 It was a cold day on December 25th. It was Christmas morning. We were outside building our snow forts and snowballs. After a couple of hours we fi nally fi nished our snow forts and snowballs. We had the total of 120 snowballs for each team. There were two teams, girls versus boys. So the fi rst round the boys won because they had frozen snowballs, so basically they cheated. In the 2nd round it was parents against kids. The parents also cheated because they changed the rules that head shots count. After that fun day we had our Christmas supper. After our supper we opened our Christmas presents. It was a really fun Christmas.

Getting ready for Christmas

Far far away in the North Pole Santa and his elf’s were getting ready for Christmas. Santa brushed his beard ate some cookies and then he went and told his elfs to brush the reindeer. Then Santa went and fi xed and polished his sleigh. At his last house he went and put the last present under the tree and went back to the North Pole. He ate lots more cookies and went to sleep.

My name is Kaila. I have a lot of Christmas memories. For example, when my mom woke us all up the night before Christmas. It was midnight and we opened up one or two presents each. Then we all went back to sleep. When we woke up that morning there were cupcakes on the table and a cake in the oven. And my mom was decorating the cupcakes. I’ll give you an example of how some the cupcakes looked. Ex1 she made A snowman, A snowfl ake, and there was just a random cupcake. Then my uncles, aunties, and grandmas and grandpas were starting to come. I was excited when everyone started to show up. Then after we ate. We opened up presents. And I got an Easy Bake oven. But Emmah and I had to share. But I kept my madness inside. Emmah and I and my auntie were trying to fi gure out how to work it . My mom showed us how to work it. And I cooked a little cake and Emmah cooked little mini cupcakes. Well that’s my Christmas story. THE END!!!

The Christmas Miracle!

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Ally. Today she got a chocolate because she was doing the Christmas count down calendar. It was Christmas Eve and she had one chocolate left for Christmas. Her Mom took the family to shop for their family. Ally had to shop for her mom, dad and sibling’s, her brother Andy and her sister Lilly. Ally was 9, Andy was 5 and Lilly was 3. Ally was most exited to go see Santa Clause. So when the family was ready they got into the car and went to the mall. When Ally, Andy, and Lilly got to the mall they separated. Ally went with her mom and Andy and Lilly went with their dad. Ally went to the Super 8 mall with her family to shop. So Ally went to Andy’s favourite store sup dog and got him some stuff . Then she went to Lilly’s favourite store La La Land. Then she got something special for her mom and dad it cost $100. Then she went to see Santa Clause. When she went to see Santa she wished for a kitten. The next morning she got up and opened her presents. The fi rst present she opened was the kitten. So after that they lived happily ever after with the kitten.

Holiday story

Once upon a time in a far far far far far away land there lived a man and he was very mean. That man was never nice. He was always negative and down. His name was BOB!!!!!!!!!!! So he was pretty much the 2nd Grinch and scrooge mixed together. He always stole the presents from under the tree and was always fi lling the stockings with coal. He would always fi nd a way to get every single child on the naughty list. One day one kid stayed up to see Santa but he missed him because the presents were already under the tree. What he saw was the mean old rotten no good BOB!!!!!!!!!!! He was taking the presents from under the tree and fi lling the stockings with coal. That one kid saw it all happen and got very mad, so he followed Bob to his home A.K.A Cave Bob. That kid got very mad because Bob stole everything, so the kid destroyed the cave and that was the story of BOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jake’s Best Christmas

Today was Christmas morning and Jake was happy and excited. He went downstairs and went to go open his gifts. He opened one up and he got a toy plane. Next he got an Xbox 360. Next he got a lot of games like Black Ops 3 and Minecraft. It was the best Christmas ever, he even got a new TV for his Xbox 360 and he got all the new games in the world and he got a video cam to catch Santa while he gives you presents. Santa loves cookies. Jake found his cookies for Santa were gone and Jake was happy. He got a new cool bed he moved in his room downstairs. In the living room he played all day and night. When he woke up he saw Santa playing his game upstairs. He liked the Xbox. Then he went to go play without Santa hearing. He went to go have breakfast. He got cookies for breakfast. The End.

The Legend of the Christmas TreeBy the grade 5/6 class at White Bear Education Complex

Two little children were sitting by the fi re one cold winter’s night. All at once they heard a timid

knock at the door and one ran to open it.There, outside in the cold and darkness, stood

a child with no shoes upon his feet and clad in thin, ragged garments. He was shivering with cold, and he asked to come in and warm himself.

“Yes come,” cried both the children; “you shall have our place be the fi re. Come in!”

They drew the little stranger to their warm seat and shared their supper with him and gave him their bed while they slept on a hard bench.

In the night they were awakened by strains of sweet music and looking out they saw a band of children in shimmering garments approaching the house. They were playing on golden harps and the air was full of melody.

Suddenly the stranger child stood for them; no longer cold and ragged but clad in silvery light.


Christmas Eve

It was Christmas Eve. We had dinner. After dinner we got to open our presents and when I opened my present I got an Elf for Christmas. And I named her Elfie. It was a girl and I was so happy that I got an elf and I’d really wanted an elf and I got one. After going to my grandma’s house for dinner I walked home. I’d seen lots of presents under my Christmas tree. I opened a present I got a tablet, that’s what I’d wanted so, so much and when I charged the tablet it had free internet and downloaded games. When I looked on my tree I saw Elfie and I said, “How did Elfie get there? She was at my grandma’s house.” When it got dark we went to bed and when I went to bed I heard jingle bells and I said “Santa might be here?” And I stayed awake until

he was gone. When Santa was gone I went to go see and I seen lots of presents and after seeing lots of presents I went back to bed and got tired. I fell asleep fast and when it was morning I woke up and went to go see the presents. I unwrapped them all and I got a coloring book, books, dolls, teddy bears, art stuff, and a little kitten and my kitten was named Rosey. The End.

The Broken Sleigh

One night Santa tolled his elves to work on the presents and Santa said, “Five more days until Christmas!” The next morning Buddy the Elf was done his presents for the kids and the elves were almost done and Elfy went outside and Elfy broke the sleigh and next morning Santa told Buddy the Elf to look for Elfy. Buddy the Elf said, “OK.” Buddy the Elf saw the sleigh broken, so Buddy the Elf ran to the North Pole and Buddy the Elf told Santa and Santa said, “Oh no the sleigh is broken and Christmas is in three more days! Why did this happen?” The next night Santa fi xed his sleigh. Santa asked Elfy, “Why did you break the sleigh?” And Elfy said, “Buddy the Elf did it.” So Buddy the Elf got grounded for breaking the sleigh.

Well that was it, the next morning, one more day until Christmas so Santa sent Buddy the Elf to the South Pole. The End.

One snowie day there was a little polar bear named Snowie. She loved the snow and she loved the Christmas. Today she wants to put up her Christmas tree, so she asked her dad and mum. A little while later her tree was up Snowie said thanks to her mum and dad. Her mum and dad said, “You’re welcome Snowie,” and they hugged snowie and left to their rooms. Snowie said three more days left until Christmas “Yay!” The next day she got up to play outside. She got her stuff on and ran outside but she forgot her sled inside so she ran back inside, got her sled, and ran back outside. A few hours later, Snowie was so cold so she went to her room. She was playing with her toys. Then snowie fell asleep. She woke up and said I don’t remember sleeping?! Anyways two more days before Christmas. Then she went downstairs and had some food. She looked at her tree and said I love Christmas, I can’t wait. She sat down and watched TV. It was night time. She ran up the stairs and tried to go to sleep but Snowie just can’t go to sleep. She heard a noise on the roof, it was Santa!!! She got up and went down stairs but Santa was not there. Then there were presents under the tree. Snowie was so happy.

Elfi e and Frosty Find the Great Present

One day Elfi e was walking in the snow. The snow got deeper and deeper and then she saw a present. It had stripes and Santa on it, stars and penguins. When she opened it Frosty the Snow-man came out and said surprise! Frosty gave Elfi e hot chocolate. Elfi e fell in a hole. Elfi e called for help. So Frosty came down with her so they looked around. They spotted a reindeer and they saw a bear. The bear chased them but Elfi e had a plan. Elfi e saw a berry so she picked it up and fetched it to the bear. And then Elfi e had another idea Elfi e had a phone so she called Santa but she forgot about the bear. She forgot it was Christmas Eve tomorrow. Elfi e used her magic Frosty saw her fl y-ing magic. Elfi e forgot she could pick up stuff up to 1,000,000 centimeters. So she picked up the bear and threw it. Elfi e was clever. She went in a room full of diff erent kinds of mirrors. She went into one, it had stars and minions on it. So she wrapped it up but Santa texted her. It said “Sorry I can’t come I can’t fi nd you.” She got back to the present and in-side of it was 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 dollars. They said “we’re rich.” It’s past Christmas Eve so they shared it and that was their Christmas present. The End.

The Elf and the Lost Present

One day it was Christmas. Santa and an elf was in his sleigh and a present fell. They didn’t notice, they just fi nished, but they noticed the present was gone. Then the elf said, a boy doesn’t have a present. Santa said we are not going back. The elf said I can, so Santa said you have to fi nd it. In the morning the elf went and he got lost. He was cold and scared, he said I am not giving up yet. There was something in the bush. It was a reindeer. The reindeer was lost too. Then they went together to fi nd a present. They were lost but they found the city. It was a big city. They saw the house with no present. They ran in a bash and then they saw the present but the got lost again. They were cold. They made a campfi re then the wind blew the campfi re out and the found a hat and a snowman. The elf put the hat on the snowman and Frosty appeared and so the elf and the reindeer and Frosty went working and they found a sled that was old. The elf put the sled in the reindeer saddle and they were walking for three hours and twenty minutes. The elf pulled out the sled from the reindeer and the elf said, get on we are going to the city and they made it so they weren’t working. The end.

The Elf

There was one night we heard something. We heard a space ship. We thought it was Santa but it was an elf. Then we heard a Christmas song, then we went down stars. We saw nothing. Then we saw a big long present. We saw toys, stockings, and I heard Ho Ho Ho and Ha Ha Ha. I looked out the window. I only saw my dogs and cats. I went outside. I looked at the back of my house and at the side of my house, but noth-ing. I went inside then I woke up everybody. We opened our presents but then I saw an elf. I got Just Dance and Twister, that’s all we played all day. I saw another elf but I didn’t touch it I left it alone. I went upstairs but then I saw another one. I leftit alone. I went in my room then I went to lay down. I was thinking I was seeing stuff so I went to sleep. When I woke up I found more and more then I went downstairs. I went to tell my mom. She said just ignore it then I tried to but I just can’t so I went to sleep again. Then it kept going so I went walking. Then I saw more and more and more. I walked back home then it went away. Then I opened my last pres-ents. The End.

It’s Christmas! It’s Christmas morning!!! I ran downstairs and everything was gone! I looked around and I went upstairs. “Mom and Dad did you take the presents? Oh on the pres-ent are gone!!! And I looked outside and it was storming and a light stuck to me and I woke up. It was dark all over. I found a door and I open the door. I saw the light I got and I was at the North Pole. I saw Santa I said “Hi!” He asked me “Do you want to ride my reindeer?” Yes, yes!!! I said okay then we ride the reindeer it was fun. I saw my house and I saw a big Christmas tree and saw lots of decorating and we went to a house to drop off the presents. I went in the house and Santa put the presents under the tree and I told him that which presents got to my house. Yesterday he told me that I slept and the elf forgot to wake me up. He dropped off the presents at my house and my mom said “Hi Molly!” “Hi Mom and Dad!” The End.

The Elf is Finding Santa

One time Santa woke up and he looked in Elfie’s bedroom. He was gone. Someone took him. When Santa went to the elf room, lots of elves woke up and Santa said Elfie is gone. Santa said go to my sled and drive it. The sled is full of snow and iced up and Elfie was walking in the snow storm because someone took him at the middle of the night. He looked at the sky, he saw bells falling down. It fell on his head. He got knocked out. When he woke up he saw a reindeer fly away, he saw Santa’s house. When he went there he saw Santa. When he knocked on the door Santa opened the door, Santa looked down he saw Elfie, Santa said everybody we found Elfie. Everybody was happy. The end.

of the best Christmas ever. It started when Clougin ran downstairs and found an empty space under the tree where he expected his presents to be. His brother had presents under the tree. Clougin wondered where his could be. He found out later that it was a side by side and hidden at his grandma’s house. It was fast. My family all went mudding in a big pond where we got stuck. It was fun and the best Christmas ever.

Kallen P., grade 6 This is the story

of the best Christmas ever. It started when Kallen ran downstairs and found an empty space under the tree where he expected his presents to be. I was mad because I thought I was getting a skateboard but if wasn’t there, so I looked around. I heard a noise, it sounded like scratching. I followed

the sound and found a dog. It was the best Christmas ever. I named my new dog Zack.

Caden C., grade 6 This is the story

of the best Christmas ever. It started when Ca-den ran downstairs and found an empty space

under the tree where he expected his presents to be. They must still be in Santa’s sack, he must have forgot to come to my house, Santa forgot all about me. Or did someone play a tick on me and hid them? So, Caden looked all over the house but could not

fi nd them anywhere. Caden went back to bed and was woke up again by a weird sound. He looked out his window and it was Santa Claus. It was a Christmas miracle! Santa didn’t forget about me after all. The next morning I ran downstairs and my presents were under the

tree. So, I ran upstairs

Shay-lynne E., grade 6 This is the story of the best Christmas ever.

It started when Caydence ran downstairs and found an empty space under the tree where she expected her presents to be. She had no clue where they went. As she started to think about where they went she found a little green hair by her foot. All of a sud-den she heard a BANG! It came from the kitchen. She went in her kitchen and saw the fridge door was open. She went and looked inside and every-thing in her fridge was gone. She looked around in her kitchen and a green thing quickly ran around

the corner. As it ran around the corner, it had a Santa coat on and a hat that jingled and jangled. She quickly ran after it into her living room again. When she got in the room nobody was there. All of a sudden somebody jumped behind her. She turned around to fi nd that it was the… GRINCH! The Grinch grabbed her and tied her up in Christmas wrapping paper and ribbon. He told her his plan about stealing Christmas. Caydence told him stories about Christmas and got him into the holly jolly spirit. He returned all the presents as Caydence went back to bed. She woke up the next morning and all the presents were back and all the food was back in her fridge. It was the best Christmas ever.

Aiza W., grade 5 This is the story of the best Christmas

ever. It started when my brother ran downstairs

and found an empty space under the tree where he expected his presents to be. Then he ran up-stairs and went to his sister’s room. Sister, Sister wake up, can you help me look around and fi nd the presents? Do you think that our parents hid them? Let’s go fi nd them, okay. My sister and I looked and looked. I think I know why they are not under the tree because we might shake them and fi gure them out. Sister and I went back to bed. Wake up, Wake up it’s fi nally Christmas day said Mom and Dad. We didn’t want to upset you because we love you daughter and son, come open your gifts. Thank you Dad and Mom for getting us an Xbox! With Walk-ing Dead and Just Dance, we love it. It was the best Christmas ever, my favorite holiday.
