Holidays: Through children's eyes

The Fulton Sun asked elementary aged students to give perspectives about the upcoming holidays. Kindergarten and first-grade students were asked if they were naughty or nice. Second- and third-grade students were asked for their versions of holiday stories, and fourth- and fifth-grade students were asked for their New Year's resolutions.

The Sun will periodically run these verbatim "reports" throughout the month of December.
