L.J. SCHULTZ SEVENTH GRADERS GIVE UNIQUE LOOK AT HOLIDAYS

Let It Snow

By Alisa Uzoaru

We wish for snow as we go to bed,

"Don't get your hopes up," Mother said.

Our minds filled up with snowy scenes,

As we watched out town turn red and green.

So hopeful and excited were we,

That we prayed to God with silent pleas.

So suddenly the snow fell about the town,

That we jumped up to the window and couldn't get down.

When finally I got out of the house,

I danced through the snow and soaked my blouse.

I would never forget the moment,

I know,

When my dream had been fulfilled with wet, cold snow.

My Christmas

By Chris Huffman

There is one present under the tree,

And I hope it's not for me.

I like my presents big and fat,

Not real little and so flat.

I like Christmas just like you,

So you can get me a present too.

Please don't think that this is funny,

I just want a lot of money.

It is now Christmas Eve,

So I have to leave.

Christmas

By Bethany Dietiker

Christ is born,

Hanukkah is coming,

Rejoicing our newborn king,

Icicles hanging off our houses,

Seeing lights all around houses,

Tinsel on Christmas trees,

Mary holding Baby Jesus,

Angels singing,

Santa Claus is coming to my house.

It's Christmas Time

By Tyler Thompson

It's time for Christmas

It happens only once a year

People all full of cheer

Presents are wrapped with care

Santa comes with all the toys

With joy for good girls and boys

Its time for families to be together

It's time for Christmas

Present Wishes

By Daniel Broach

As the snow touches the ground,

I can hear all the children around.

Christmas trees and candy canes

People waiting in checkout lanes.

As the snow is piling

I can see the little children smiling.

For it is Christmas

So children get out your present wishes.

Winter

By Ashley Lamburth

I like to play in the snow,

I like to see it shine and glow.

I like to see it snow all day,

I'd like to see it snow today.

During winter I don't stay inside,

So my front door is always open wide.

While I'm inside I sit warm in my bed,

While I'm outside I'm numb and red.

The Special Time of Year

By Jami Holderfield

Christmas is the time of year to love one another.

You can hear the carolers outside your windows.

It feels like you wait forever for Christmas.

When it gets here, you love the sound of unwrapping paper.

You love the smell of Christmas pies and cookies.

After Christmas, you're sad because everything is gone.

You hope that next year is just as good as this year's.

Christmas

By Andrew Welter

C is for Christ the child who is born today.

H is for Happy Holidays.

R is for reindeer, eight or nine will be fine.

I is for ice that hangs on houses.

S is for snow in hope of a white Christmas.

T is for trees with lots of ornaments.

M is for manger where Christ lay.

A is for angels rejoicing his name.

S is for Santa Claus who comes tonight.

By Kelly Zinn

Christmas comes once again,

A time of giving to our friends.

A time for all of us to see,

The decorations on the tree.

The fresh snow on the ground.

Can all the presents be found?

Kids sledding down the snow.

Christmas is coming soon, you know.

Christmas Day

By Jenna Wishart

On Christmas morning kids get up early,

They go downstairs to the tree,

They open presents and play with their new toys,

Then it's time to get dressed and go to Grandma's for a big dinner and more presents,

Then they sit and play with the toys they got,

Pretty soon it's time for cookies and cake,

Finally it's time to go home and to bed after a busy day.

Here comes December

By Amanda Rader

Snow falling on my head

Angels sing with joy

The Christmas tree is full of life

Santa is on his way

He has presents for you and me

Put out the cookies for Santa to eat

Now go to bed, for Santa is coming.

Christmas Cheer

By Kyle Tramposh

Christmas morning,

Gifts sitting around the tree,

Waiting for kids to open them.

The kids wake up and see the white snow.

They run downstairs to see the presents glow

Their eyes open wide

They start opening presents.

Clothes, shoes, and toys fill their heart with joy.

A Snowy Sunny Day

By Kristen Golike

Oh how I love the snow,

It makes me smile ever so.

It is so white,

It is so bright.

When I see the snow,

My face starts to glow.

I put on my glove,

Oh how I love,

To go out every day

To laugh and play.

The snow is so fun,

But here comes the sun.

Santa Claus

By Randall Cartwright

Santa gives clothes and toys

To all the girls and boys

He comes down the chimney

And finds a big penny

He throws it in the fire

And bounces up just like a rubber tire

He puts the packages under the tree

And goes up the chimney

He sits in the sleigh and says "Merry Christmas"

And all the people who put cookies onto the plate

Have to wash the dishes.

Winter

By Josh Dickey

Winter is the time of year

Everyone is full of cheer.

The ground now wears a coat of white

It is such a wonderful sight.

It's the time to rejoice

Let us all raise our voice.

We no longer have to wait

It is time to celebrate.

Christmas Cheer

By Heather Nistendirk

Winter is the time of year

To spread a lot of Christmas cheer

In the winter when the cold winds blow

We get lots and lots of snow.

The days are short and the nights are long

You sit around the fire and sing a jolly song

We dream of spring coming near

And hope it brings a wonderful new year.

Rushing Christmas

By Charidy Terry

You're in the Christmas mood, getting ready to decorate.

Then you start to wonder why there wasn't any snow to evaporate.

Then you start to get suspicious

While you're making cookies so delicious.

You began to set up the Christmas tree

While your mind jumps in glee.

Then your mind seems to stop

As you're placing the angel on top.

Finally you start to remember

It's only November.
