Kids answer holiday questions
They may be young and still have lots to learn, but when it comes to Christmas, children have the answers to just about every question.
But what do you do when you can't go into the schools to ask kids those important questions? (Thanks, COVID19!)
Well, you find a teacher like Stephanie Hodder to help you out.
Hodder, a Grade 2 French immersion teacher at C.C. Loughlin Elementary in Corner Brook, N.L., was more than willing to take on the task of interviewing a few of her students about Christmas.
Here's what they had to say:
MAREK HUYBREGTS

Nice. Because I've been nice all year.
