Christmas wishes, as presented by several of the Sandusky kids. (Now the question remains: will they get the gifts they so desire, or will they get "Grinched" for Christmas?? The suspense builds...)
All I want for Christmas is...
Johnny:
I want a HUMMER*, new crutches, new shoes, new clothes, new games for my GameBoy video game system, and a new mattress for my bed; my old one I have now is getting all lumpy, and it is getting quite uncomfortable on my skinny little body. I also would like my health to stop giving me worries; I hate worrying about my health, and I don't LIKE being sick!
(*a note: Johnny meant a remote-control Hummer, preferably orange.)
Ronee' Le-Anne:
What do I want for Christmas?? Hmmm...let's see, now.. I would like paper (both unlined and lined, as well as some art paper), pens, art pencils, paints, the new Belton Richard CD, a new winter jacket as well as new mittens and gloves, and a winter scarf, earmuffs for my head, so my ears don't get all frosty-cold, a new sweater or two, a book by Calvin Hall called "Northern Lights"--I saw it in my library, and they had some really incredible photographs of the aurora borealis in Alaska; really spectacular, if you know what I mean!--, some ribbons or headbands for my hair, and maybe some extra cash. I also would like some perfume--probably some Uomo men's cologne. I know it's men's cologne, and I am a girl, but hey..I love the way it smells on me! Oh! And one more thing: I want "The Lion King" DVD; I LOVE that movie!
Jodie (as typed by her mother):
*new clothes (sweaters or sweatpants, as well as some warm socks and/or longjohns),
*new shoes (tennies preferred, preferably white or pink),
*new hair ribbons, rubber bands, and clips for my hair,
*new diapers (size ADULT, SMALL, extra-absorbant!),
*a stuffed "Grinch",
*a stuffed "Cat in The Hat",
*a new wheelchair (the wheelchair I have now is old, and it is creaky),
*a stuffed "Alf",
*a stuffed "Berenstein Bear" ("Mama"),
*new pants and tops (size little girls 4x, slim).
Sun-Hee:
a new bike, money, books (I love the "Berenstein Bears" series), paper, pens, pencils, markers, and paint stuff, stuff for my hair, perfume (I like Red Door or Rare Gold; those smell the best on me!), "The Lion King" DVD, a stuffed "Nala" and/or a stuffed "Simba", a stuffed "Rafiki", a stuffed "Pumbaa", and a stuffed "Timon", and a nature show tape about cheetahs. I would also like a book about Africa.
Tran:
All I want for Christmas is toy trains. I can't think of much of anything, but if I do, I'll add them to my list! Stay tuned~
Roberto:
New clothes, new football, new basketball, new basketball hoop, new paper and pencils, and new GI Joe toys.
I also want a "Woody" and a "Buzz LightYear" from "Toy Story". And maybe the movie, too. I love that movie!
Kwame':
All I want for Christmas is for Santa Claus to come!
Gemini:
This is EASY! All I want for Christmas is for people to get along and for peace on earth, and for terrorism to STOP! That's all I want!
Sergei:
I want it to be cold and snowy for Christmas, just like back in Russia, where I am from. Then I can make snowballs all day and throw them at my brothers and sisters! In fact, I hope we get TONS of snow!
Benjamin:
New toys, that would be nice. That's all I want.
Rhiannon:
I want a new bicycle, a new winter jacket, a new sweater or sweatshirt, sweatpants, new socks, and new shoes. I also want new ballet shoes and a new ballet outfit, and some classical music tapes for me to practice my ballet dancing to. I especially like "Swan Lake" and "The Nutcracker"!
Stephanie:
All I want for Christmas is family togetherness and to remember WHY we celebrate Christmas: the Birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I also want to be off work on Christmas, and our restaurant is going to be open, and I don't WANT to work ON Christmas! That would be totally INSANE and unethical! NOTHING should be open ON Christmas; everything should be CLOSED, so we can be together with family and friends, and remember the Birth of Jesus Christ! But if anyone WANTS to get me something for Christmas, I WOULD like some winter clothes and also some Christian rock tapes. That would be just fine with me.
Michelle and Megan:
All we want for Christmas? ANYTHING to do with "SpongeBob SquarePants"; he's funny, and his show on television is COOL! We LOVE "SpongeBob SquarePants"!
For the past two years (2006-2008) The Bridge of Silver Wings has earned a name for itself both as a series of poems published in different e-zines and as a book first published in 2007.
What makes this 2009 edition a special one is th
Christmas - only days away; plastic snowmen and glowing reindeer adorn the lawns of neighborhoods all across America. All is calm, all is bright, and yet there is something tragically wrong about this Christmas night.
