A Day in Santa’s Planner
We asked area third graders what they think Santa does all day.
LOCUST LANE ELEMENTARY
Once upon a time there was a weird Santa living in the North Pole and every morning he buyed some cheese. But every time he could not find it so he bought a sword. And when he came home he cut down the door. Then he looks in his pocket and finds the key. Then he brakes down the house. Then his blind wife comes home. He goes outside. Then his wife asked, “How was your day?” He said, “Same as usual.” – Noah Schultz, Locust Lane Elementary
I think Santa’s planner looks like this: he wakes up, eats one pounds of pancakes shaped as gingerbread men. The he goes to the toy factory to supervise his elves. After that, he goes to sign contracts, buy stocks, and go to dinner. After dinner he takes a shower and goes to bed. – Ryan C., Locust Lane Elementary
Santa goes swimming when the sun melts the ice and he dives right in. Then he has three ice cream cones. Then the moon comes up and he puts all the elves to sleep and he plays his Xbox 360 and Madden Football ’09, cranks up the radio, and watches the NBA. Then the boring part comes! He has to inspect the elves’ toys. After all that he takes his stinky socks and goes to sleep! – Mason D. Phillips, Locust Lane Elementary

Santa’s planner is busy! He gets to stay in the North Pole all year long until Christmas. That part is not so busy, but then the day before Christmas Eve he has to plan out what the children want for Christmas. He says to himself all the presents that have to be delivered around the world at night. Finally it is the morning of Christmas Eve. Santa starts to get busy. First, he gets the toys in the sleigh. Then he gets his reindeer hooked up. Finally it was nighttime. Santa was just getting ready to take off when Mrs. Claus shouted out, “You forgot your jacket.” Santa got his jacket and took off to deliver presents. “Merry Christmas,” said Santa. “Ho, ho, ho.” – Matelyn Peplinski, Locust Lane Elementary
Santa’s planner says that he has to tell the elves what to make for the children. He also feeds the reindeer so they will be active so when they have to fly, they can, so Santa can give all of the children their gifts and all of the children will be happier than ever in their lives and wake up and open their presents and scream their head off because they got what they always wanted. – Allison, Locust Lane Elementary
On Santa’s planner there are lots of reindeer and people. People that live in the North Pole never see Santa, but only at Christmas night in the moonlight. On every Christmas Eve, Santa will wake up, dress up as a Santa, then go to meet the reindeer. He has to choose eight reindeer for the ride. Then he goes back home and sees how the elves are doing. There are about 200 elves working in Santa’s house. Santa has to write notes with the presents that he gives to them. He has to do that all day and night. On Christmas night, Santa will put all the presents in a bag and give them to children who are nice. The next Christmas Santa might give lots of presents. --- Thidarat, Locust Lane Elementary
When Santa waked up he will get dressed, take a shower, and go to his workshop to make about 64 presents. While he is making the 64 presents he is making sure his elves are making much more than him. Then he will eat eggs, hashbrowns, and bacon for breakfast. After that he will meet with his friend and have a snowball fight. After that he will eat lunch. Then he will make a snowman and throw snowballs at it and he sure laughs. Then he will make a ton of cookies and he calls, “Come and get it.” Then everyone will eat dinner and then they will watch television, then go to bed. The end. – Aaron, Locust Lane Elementary
On Christmas Eve Santa’s day is very busy. First he wakes up and gets dressed. Then he goes downstairs and has a breakfast of hot oatmeal and hot cocoa made by Mrs. Claus. After breakfast he bundles up, since the North Pole is very cold. Santa goes to see the reindeer. He feeds them and cleans their stalls. Then he has lunch and decorates the house. He goes to the workshop and helps the elves wrap presents. Santa loads the presents into the sleigh, hooks up the reindeer, and delivers the presents. When he gets back, the tired Santa goes to bed. – Elizabeth, Locust Lane Elementary
In the winter Santa Claus keeps the elves going so the kids can have toys at Christmas. After that, Santa gets the reindeer hooked up to the sleigh. After he does that, he puts the toys in the bag. Then he goes on the sleigh on Christmas. He gives the presents to the kids. – Arik, Locust Lane Elementary
Santa helps the elves make toys. He relaxes for a minute or two. Then he delivers presents. Then he goes back to bed. – Cole Morden, Locust Lane Elementary
When he wakes up, Santa checks the work room. He makes sure everything is okay. Then he gets his cherry chocolate shake or coffee. The he goes to the san-man shop. – Eliot Van Glunsven, Locust Lane Elementary
Santa makes a good ride with Rudolph and Santa makes a snowman ‘til night and Santa watches TV for a week and Santa goes to bed until a year. – Sunil, Locust Lane Elementary
Santa makes toys to get ready for next year’s Christmas. Santa also checks the kids. Who’s been good and who’s been bad. Then Santa puts them on the list of good kids and bad kids. Then he goes to bed. Then Santa does the same thing the next day and the next day and the next day and so on. Also ho ho ho for all you kids who are reading this. – Stephanie A. George, Locust Lane Elementary
He goes to houses, goes home, then goes to bed. He goes to his good and bad list and see who gets coal. – Dustin Smith, Locust Lane Elementary
From the time he wakes up from the time he goes to bed Santa makes sure elves are making the right toys for the nice little children. Also what he does is he wraps up the toys. That’s what he does in the morning. – Kayla Aubart, Locust Lane Elementary

It was Christmas Eve and Santa had a lot to do! First, he woke up to the sound of an alarm clock. Next, he hurried to his bathroom and brushed his teeth with snow tasting toothpaste. Then Santa got dressed; he wore red pants, a red and white jacket, and a white shirt. Next, Santa went downstairs for breakfast, which was Christmas tree shaped waffles with blackberry syrup (from the bushes they grew in the house). As Santa headed outdoors for the chores, he pulled on his wool snowsuit and started toward the reindeer barn. Then Santa fed his reindeer their magic food that gave them the ability to fly. Next, Santa checked on his elves who were happily working. Then Santa checked his list. He checked his list with an automatic robot that did anything he wanted it to do. After that Santa went back to his house for a midmorning snack, which was his favorite treat of snow cones! Then Santa got on his golf cart that drive through snow, and headed for the pond. He got off his cart pulled on his ice skates and was skating in a flash. (Santa loved to skate you know.) Next, Santa went to play with his dog Sparky. Sparky loved to do tricks. When Sparky was done with her tricks, Santa took out his sled, hooked Sparky to it, and off they went tearing through the snow! Santa did this for two reasons. First, for Sparky’s exercise, and second, to make sure the sled was running safely. They went around the pond, through the field, and around the barras. As Santa gave Sparky her treat for doing to well, Mrs. Claus called for them to come in for lunch. To Santa’s surprise, his wife made him her famous homemade brownies, hot chocolate, frozen apples dipped in sugar, and meat sprinkled with snow! As Santa finished eating, he hurried to his room to change into his suit so he could take Mrs. Claus out to the movies. When Santa came down, Mrs. Claus was astonished. Then Santa got out his sled, hooked Sparky to the sled, and off they went to the movies. The movie they went to see was called How Santa Became Santa. Next, Santa went home to make a last check on his list. Then Santa and Sparky went to get the reindeer to hook to the sled for another practice run before the real thing. As Santa got on his sled with Sparky, the reindeer started to pull the sled. After the practice for driving, Santa set out (with Sparky running along) to cut down the Christmas tree. Then Santa got out the Christmas ornaments. As the three of them decorated the Christmas tree, Santa looked down at his clothes and remembered he had forgotten to change clothes. Ooops! When Santa was done changing, he hurried to help Mrs. Claus with the baking. Then Santa helped his elves load the sled with toys for the good children. As Santa hopped into his sled, he waved goodbye to Mrs. Claus and Sparky and was off into the night to deliver all the presents. – Emily Balding, Putnam Heights Elementary
