My Perfect Christmas

By Charlotte Billow

My perfect Christmas would be in Hawaii. It would be in a big house with the big beautiful ocean and sandy beach right outside my window and a coral reef with dolphins jumping up and out of the water. The house would have a big living room with a nice big fireplace and a big upstairs with three bedrooms. It will be a fun place to play.

My parents will be there and my little brother. My other family members like my cousins and my aunts and uncles will start arriving on Christmas day.

We will play board games and watch Christmas movies. We will go swimming and play in the sand. On Christmas Eve me and my little brother will open one gift each. It usually will be pajamas, we will wear those to bed. We will eat pizza and merry and berry pie (my favorite.) That is my perfect Christmas.

My Perfect Christmas

By Kaylee Birran

Hi I am Kaylee. This is my perfect Christmas. It will be in a pretty place where the grass is as soft as wool. The tree is so big the stars are as bright as the sun. The presents are so big. And when you are sleepy you can sleep on a marshmallow bed the pillow will be cotton candy.

Who will be there? David, Willow, Molly, Melody, Jamison, Alaric, Tallan, Joe, my mom and my daddy and my sis. What will we do? First we will open presents and then we will sit by the fire and feast. And then we will get in bed and sleep.It will be beautiful!

My Perfect Christmas

By Oliver Brooks

I hope it's snowing at 3:00 am on Christmas day. I want to wake up early at 7:30 am to open presents. I will celebrate Christmas at the big tree in my house with my parents. I want my friend Joe to say "hi" on Christmas day. I will eat turkey and eggs. I will play Minecraft and Roblox. That Is My Perfect Christmas.

My Perfect Christmas

By Aubree Burns

Have you ever wanted a perfect Christmas, but just couldn't get one? Well, I got

one. Instead of at my house, we always do Christmas at grandma's house. It's always fun! It's fun because I am with my family! And you have to have to spend as much time with your family because every 2 seconds someone around the world is dying. But don't think about that. Let's go to my perfect Christmas. My perfect Christmas is full of love and joy and family! Followed by a walk and a 4-wheeler ride, but I drive. That's followed by a Christmas dinner and a slice of pumpkin pie and a brownie. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. Bye!

My Perfect Christmas

By Molly Cameron

This is my idea of a perfect Christmas. All I want is to stay home in the warm. I want to have pizza for Christmas and Twix cake. Our big brother Derrick might come over. We got a big box of presents in mom's room. I wonder what is in it? It looks like it is heavy. She sometimes lets us open one on Christmas Eve, then the rest of them are opened on Christmas day. I am hoping for 8 big bags of Mochis, 9 hamsters, 6 guinea pigs, and 3 cats. They will be named Zack, Allix, and Sam. That would be a great Christmas!

My Perfect Christmas

By Joe Childers

My Christmas will be at my house. I will eat ham and turkey and sparkling cider and pie. The pie is pumpkin pie and apple pie. There will be hot chocolate and marshmallows. My cat will sleep on my lap, and I will watch tv.

My cat will be sleeping on her cat tree having the best dream ever.

We will eat pie, turkey, apple cider, and marshmallows. It is snowing outside. We will have fruit, veggies, hot cocoa, chocolate, chips, candy, yogurt, smoothies, soda and my cotton candy maker. The meat will be from ham, cow, and pig.

My friends and I will play tag and hide-and -seek and more games. Then we will go play with my toys and go outside and have a snowball fight and I will wen. When we come in we will be cold so we will drink hot cocoa next to the fire and we will get tp and tp my brother.Then it will be time to open presents. I will get a chromebook and all of my friends will get their things and all the presents will be opened so me and my friends will go eat turkey and other things.

Christmas Day

By:Tadin 12/30/22

The day of Christmas I was opening presents.O'' my gosh there were the white shiny Nike shose. My whole family and friend' Adon' was staring at me. I started to cry in happy tears. I tried them on O no they did not fit me no this can't be happening. Just look at the pair of shoes there that are so shiny and cool.

I had to do what i had to do give them tho my friend but besides that me and my friend went sledding down the cemetery hill it was so fun but my friend deserved those shose he was a good friend but unfortunatley he moved to Texas he should come back.but before he moved we went back from sledding we wrestled he is really strong but we tied. He went home after a while ,then me and the parents fought of course my dad won but then we sat by the heater and drank eggnog.

The next day me and my brother went downtown and had a snowball fight

It was fun. But we got bored and started to walk home. It was freezing so we had a ride home. We made some hot coco and sat by the heater again. Dang I'm still thinking about those shoes. They are so cool but I did something I'm happy about.

Seeing Santa

Made by: Dylan Brown

'Twas the night before Christmas, Mom was making cookies for Santa and Dad was making sure that everything was ready for tomorrow. I was playing with my dog Scooter. Life was great and it was about to get even better. I put legos, ski gear, gift cards and video games on my wishlist. My wishlist wasn't the biggest but it was what I wanted. It was a little later at about 9:00 and everyone was about to go to bed. Mom came into my room and said,"Goodnight honey!"

I finally fell asleep and was sleeping for a good 4 hours when I was suddenly woken up because of a big BANG! I creeped out of bed and went hunting for santa. Then I realized that something was different about the house. I peeked at the corner of the corridor and saw nothing but a Christmas tree with its lights. I thought I was too slow and started to make my way back to bed.

That's nearly when I heard some jingle bells above me. I ran outside as fast as I could as my feet were booming like thunder, and then I saw it. I saw Santa with his sleigh and the big sack of toys. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Then I ran inside and woke up my parents and told them, but they didn't believe me! They said that no one has ever seen Santa before. At that point in time I figured out that I was probably the first person to ever see Santa.

By:Luke Collier

It was the night before Christmas,I was looking out the window at all the snow falling and I hear my mom say "Luke it's time to read." I sat down. My parents read to my brother and I, "Santa is coming to Washington," and "The Night Before Christmas." After they read the books, they tucked us in and told us good night.

I could not sleep from all the excitement I had for Christmas morning. A little while later, I was about to fall asleep, when I heard a sound outside. I looked outside and I saw Santa on the roof! I peeked out my doorway and I saw Santa eating the cookie I made earlier that night. Santa spit my cookie into the garbage, and I said "Santa what the heck, that was so rude." He looked up the stairs and saw me. He disappeared, then I heard him say, "on Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer, on Vixen, on Comet, on Cupid, on Doner and Blitzen."

I quickly ran outside and said "Santa you forgot to put the presents for my family under the tree!" I startled him because he steered the sleigh the wrong way and hit my grandma's jeep, then went off into the night. I looked at the jeep and there was a big dent in the front and the jeep rolled back into my Dad's truck. I guess It exhausted me out, Afterwards I went back inside, and fell asleep.

I woke up in the morning, and told my family everything.They didn't believe me, but everyone's stocking was full. There were presents under the tree, all from Santa. When we went outside later that morning, the jeep was still backed into the truck and had the dent,so they only partly believed me.

Victor's Christmas Story

When don't you know what to get someone what do you get them? Do you get them a book? A toy? Or even a dog? So there was this kid named Billy-bob and on Christmas Day he was woken up by his dog named Bobble licking his face. sent by his brother bob-billy, when billy-bob woke up he heard footsteps.

He got scared because he had a bad dream, the door to his bedroom he covered himself with his blanket it was just his mom checking on him and his mom said: "Hey are you alright?" Billy-bob replied "Yeah I am fine. I just had a bad dream" and his mom said "oh ok. come down for breakfast and then we'll open presents" "ok," said billy-bob.

Billy-bob got his slippers on and went downstairs and on the stairs, he sniffed the air. The aroma of bacon, pancakes, doughnuts, eggs, and toast. When he reached the kitchen his dad was still cooking (his dad is the best cook in the house). He was excited and forgot all about his bad dream. He ate everything and he was stuffed (he ate breakfast followed by many candy canes)

After breakfast, they went upstairs to the living room. Where they saw a huge present and it was shaking and all of them were very confused and so they went up close to the present and they opened it slowly and it was a puppy and all of them were happy and confused; Billy-bob only dreamed of having 2 dogs and he was surprised that he had 2 puppies "hey mom! Maybe you should name the puppy" said billy-bob and their mom said "ok let's name it Mars!" and throughout the whole day, they played with their new puppy then went to bed.

The Christmas Eve

Hannah Gemmell

11/30/22

We were just leaving from our grandma's house on Christmas Eve. My mother told me to go to bed, so I did. I heard a big boom. I got scared, but I was brave enough to go upstairs. I crawled behind the couch tired and sleepy. I thought to myself "Go back to bed". But right before I decide to go back to bed. I see a big man,wearing a red coat on him with a big long white beard. I gasped!

It was Santa Claus! I wanted to ask him so many questions, but got too scared but I was beating with excitement. I got up and whispered to Santa, he saw my eyes with excitement. He said " You have to go to bed young one". I said " I need you to answer some questions". I told him how old he really was. He said " I'm really old I don't even know how old I am". He said he had to leave so I let him leave. He ate up the cookies and milk quickly and went up the chimney once again. I scream so loud, my parent woke up. And asked why I was awake. I told them I saw Santa Claus. But they didn't believe like the usual.

I was so happy I got to see Santa Claus. I decided to go back to sleep, my mother got me melatonin so i would fall asleep faster or quicker. I drank up some water. And decided to go back to sleep. I was filled with excitement and still tired. I woke up the next morning, waking up all my siblings. We opened up our stocking and had a great Christmas Morning.

''The letter to Santa''

Rylee Griffin

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Suzie, Suzie loved Christmas. She loved Christmas so much that every year she would write a letter to Santa saying what she wanted for Christmas.

Susie wrote a letter that night and in the morning the mailman didn't come, she was scared that the mailman wouldn't come again so she waited till the next morning.

The next morning she got up and went outside, the mailman still wasn't there and there were only two weeks before christmas. So she went to her mom and said'' the mailman hasn't come for two days'' and her mom said that ''The mailman won't come'' ''why'' Suzie said because he was in another part of town then she said Suzie you need to go to bed, good night.

Two days past and she went outside and there is the mailman Suzie said ''to him I have been waiting for five days the mailman said'' ''what can i do for you little girl '' ''I have a letter for you will you take it to santa suzie said'' yes I will '' said the mailman.

Suzie was waiting for christmas to come and she was so excited that she kept asking her mom ''When will christmas get her?'' Then her mom said'' be patient it will get here when it gets here'', ''ok'' Suzie said good night mom. ''I will see you tomorrow morning on Christmas.''

Once upon a time late at night on Christmas eve I heard a train outside and I went to check.

The noise out and a conductor came out of a door he said climb aboard I was unsure at first.

But then it looked fun so I climbed aboard and saw my friend Luis and I said dab me up bro.

So He did then the train started going and I went in a door and inside the door was the same. Conductor and he was giving out hot cocoa and sugar cookies so I said Luis let's sit here and.

I said conductor could we get some sugar cookies but Luis wanted hot cocoa so I said I'm sorry.

I can't afford both but the conductor said everything was free so I said okay and that was last.

Time I saw the conductor, for now. We rode on that train for a while and I didn't even know we.

We're going here it looked like the real thing it was the north pole I saw a bunch of elves so. Then the train stopped and we all got off the train I followed Luis he said let's figure out where.

The presents were so he knew what he got for Christmas but I found it and then showed him. What he was getting for Christmas then I said can we go he said okay fine then we found Santa.

And he gave me his bell. I thought it was an accident and I got presents on Christmas and saw. Santa Claus out of the and he said merry Christmas.

The Christmas story

By: Michael Miller-Ferrin

It snowed so hard that the power was knocked out all over town for a solid two weeks before Christmas. On Christmas morning the snow at the door was over my head. It was nearly six feet deep. We were snowed in and we had to dig out from our apartment using pots and pans. We dumped the snow in the bathtub hoping it would melt. We started getting cold so we took a break and went back at it until we managed to get to the parking lot. Me and my dad broke up the couch for the wood and hauled it to the parking lot where we started the fire with a torch.

The neighbors saw the smoke. They started digging themselves out and we started digging towards them. Once we got out we all came to our fire but found it a smoldering pile of ash. We were so bummed out. The neighbors got their couch and we burned it in smaller pieces so it would last longer. We were all starving from the digging, and raided our refrigerators then brought our food for our Christmas lunch back to the fire. Since the ham was still frozen, we had cheeseburgers instead and warmed up casseroles over the flames. The neighbors brought Oreo pie. We all had a pretty good time.

We went back inside and got our Christmas presents and took them back to the fire to open. We put the wrapping paper into the fire to keep it going and played with our new toys. Around 2:30 in the afternoon, the sun came out, the temperature rose to nearly 40 degrees and the snow began to melt. By 4 o'clock, nearly a foot had melted and then the sun set and the temperature dropped. The ham had thawed out enough to cook it over the flames which we had kept going by using wood from our kitchen table and chairs. Our dinner was ham and leftover mashed potatoes and gravy. After dinner, we went to bed and tried to sleep. We slept with all of our dogs to stay warm. It was a long night because it was cold and hard to sleep with the dogs lying on top of me. When we got up in the morning, Dad tried turning on the lights. They worked! We were so happy. I opened the front door and a bunch of snow had filled up the path and I thought,"Oh no! Here we go again!"

The End

Christmas Fun

By: Ian Rushing

It was the night before Christmas, and my family wore our Christmas pajamas. We decided to watch a Christmas movie called Elf. Then my grandma baked me cookies, and they were very yummy. The movie ended, so I had to go to bed. My mom and dad said good night. I closed my eyes slowly and went to sleep.

I woke up! I checked the time and it was two AM. I tried to go back to sleep, but the roof was shaking. I went outside to see what was happening. It was a shadowy figure with a bag on his back. I got a flashlight and turned it on, and it was SANTA!!! I quickly went on the roof. As soon as I was on the top, Santa was about to leave. I touched his back. He looked at me and I screamed with fright. Then he accidentally took off with me.

We were on the sleigh for three seconds, and we made it to the North Pole. We stopped.

Santa said, "Why are you here?"

I said, "I fell in your sleigh."

Santa let me look around, and it was an amazing sight! So many elves working hard and lots of candy. I could not believe my eyes! Santa then told me to look in his bag. I saw lots of toys, but as I crawled deeper into the bag, it seemed to turn into a tunnel that led me right to my bed. Was it all a dream, or did I really just explore the North Pole?

On Christmas eve I was with my mother and father and siblings,we were all baking cookies together for Santa Claus. We were all having fun until someone knocked on the door. I went to open it and it was my cat. His name is Cookie.

But I found someone driving in on our driveway, I went to see who it was and it was lots of cats.But I noticed someone, it was my grandma.

I invited her in to eat cookies. We all sat next to each other in the living room. She told us she wasn't going to be able to be here for Christmas. But it was fine with me. I had my father,mother,sister and little sister.So I said "Ok"it was dark outside so I went to sleep.

I woke up at 3am.I went to the Christmas Tree and on my way there I saw squirrels and SPONGEBOB DRESSED AS SANTA?!They looked at me and quickly ran up the chimney.I went to bed and I quickly fell asleep.

Then the next morning I told my parents about it. They didn't believe me, they said I was dreaming, but I remember seeing someone behind me following me, so I can tell it was not my parents.Then who was it,Well that doesn't matter as long as my family and I are together. On the dark night of Christmas I looked outside...and found a ninja squirrel.Now I know that squirrels can be anything and SpongeBob is santa.

Christmas Eve and Day

Kyla Thurston

It was Christmas eve and it was getting dark outside.There was a family that had a lovely home. The mom and dad had two kids named Ana and Ellie. They were both girls. Ana was 11 years old and Ellie was 9 years old.

It was 4:00 and the family set out to do some caroling. It was a family tradition every Christmas eve,the family would calor around the neighborhood for a hower. After the family was done they all took warm showers, after they got warned up they held hands around the Christmas tree and sang songs like Jingle Bells, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Up on The Housetop, Bell Carroll Fantasy and Drummer boy. After they sang around the Christmas tree and watched a Christmas movie called Nollel. For a snack they had cookies, popcorn,candy and Peppermint Marshmallow hot cocoa .

After their movie they got ready for bed. The last thing that they did was pray by their beds and when to sleep.While they were sleeping they dreamed about waking up the next morning opening up presents. And after they slept they ate breakfast. After the family ate they first opened up their little present from the stoking. Then they ran upstairs to open the bigger presents. Ana got a makeup kit and Ellie got an Ipad. They both got matching pajamas. There was also a little reindeer that came with the pajamas to fit in the pocket. Then there was a knock on the door. Ana and Ellie open the door with the same pajamas on and scared the UPS guy. All of the family laughed so hard it made the family cry. That was Ana and Ellie's best Christmas eve and Christmas day ever.

My Perfect Christmas

by Ethan Turner

"Come on guys," My Mom said to my sister, my brother, and me. She needed to go to the hospital. I was really confused why she had to go to the hospital at 3:00 A.m. on Christmas day. So I asked her why she needed to go to the hospital, and she said that my little sister Ada was going to be born. I was so happy, so my siblings and I hopped in the car and went to my Grandma and my Grandpa's.

My siblings and I went back to sleep in our beds at my Grandma's house when my Mom and Dad left. I couldn't sleep because I was so happy. So we all decided to wake up and go have breakfast. Then at 5:00 A.m we opened presents and then got out of our P.J's and went to my other Grandma's and had breakfast and lunch. My Dad was really mad because my Mom made these things called truffles, and my Dad wanted to try some. Every year we do a gift exchange, so after lunch we open our presents from youngest to oldest. After that, we played with our cousins, and there was a creepy doll downstairs, and it had a note on it, and one of my cousins said she didn't put the note there. We knew she was lying, she just didn't tell us. After that, we went to my other Grandma's house,and we had dinner and we sang songs. We had such a good time.

We went back home and went to bed. I was so happy to see my little sister Ada when she returned from the hospital. That's my perfect Christmas.

The Crazy Christmas Eve

By Izabelle Anderson

I woke up one night to snowfall right outside my window. I looked at my phone, disappointed that it wasn't yet Christmas. I crawled out of bed and walked to my doorway, out into the hall, down the stairs. I could see the dim light of the Christmas tree lights as I rounded the corner into the family room. Someone was crouching beside the tree, the figure turned as they heard me gasp. Their face was green, I immediately knew who it was.

The Grinch stood a couple feet away grinning. He tried to leave through the chimney but someone stood in his way. This wasn't just anybody either, it was Santa. The grinch seemed as if he couldn't believe it! Santa wrapped the Grinch up in wrapping paper. "This green trouble maker escaped prison a few days ago, glad I caught him before he ruined Christmas!". I didn't believe it...Santa, THE Santa was in my house! He leaned over and began putting presents below the tree. I examined his clothes and he wasn't as "big" as the stories made him seem.

I decided that I didn't need to stay much longer. I walked up the stairs into my room, I slumped into bed, pinching myself just to make sure it was real, "Nope, not a dream. I closed my eyes, the bankets seemed to absorb me, the warmth of my bed surrounded me. Quickly I fell asleep. I awoke the next morning to the sound of sizzling bacon from the kitchen. My sister burst into my room "BREAKFAST IS READY!" she screamed. I threw a pillow at her and she left. I thought of telling her what I saw but I decided not to in fear she wouldnt believe it, let alone from me.

The Week Before Christmas

By: Luis Dean

Once upon a time, there was a kid named Daniel, he was 12 years old. On a dark and snowy winter day, there was the start of his crazy adventure.

When Daniel got home from school he asked his parents, "Can I go for a walk in the city?" and his parents said, "Yes, you can." He hopped on the sidewalk to hear the crunch of the ice, and then he continued walking to the city. Once he got there, he went into a coffee shop. While he was drinking his coffee, he felt as if something was wrong as if he was being watched, and that made him uncomfortable, so he decided to go home.

As he walked back home, he noticed something in the bushes, A CAMERA!!! Daniel yelled, "AHHHHH!!!" So he took the camera and ran as fast as he could home. When he got home, he tried rushing to his room with the camera, but his parents stopped him before he could get in his room.

His mom asked, "where did you get that camera?" He said, "I was walking home and I found it in a bush and discovered that there was footage of me walking in and out of the coffee shop for the past two days".

As he was in his room recovering from being recorded, he went downstairs for a snack. He couldn't find his parents so he started to yell for his parents, " MOM ... DAD!" Then his parents came out of the garage laughing at a joke his dad told casually. His parents said, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!" Daniel looked down at his phone and confusingly said, " Merry Christmas?" Then they lived happily ever after.

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

By Lyam Donohue

It was the night before Christmas. I was walking on the sidewalk and I saw this 35 year old guy dressed as Santa. He passed me and I looked back at him and I saw his sleigh pop out of nowhere with reindeer attached to the sleigh. So I asked him, "Could I get a ride?" But he did not hear me so I asked him again and he looked back at me and said yes.

So I hopped on the sleigh and we went back to the North Pole to get more presents. Then we went to the first house and when we got off the sleigh he pulled out this red potion of some sort then he said, "Drink this." I asked, "What is it?" He told me, "Just drink it." So I did and when I was drinking it I started shrinking and when I was done drinking the potion I was the size of an action figure. Then he grabbed the potion and drank it and when he was done he was the size of an action figure too. Then we jumped down the chimney and when we were halfway down he grabbed a string and pulled it and it was a parachute. When we got at the bottom of the fireplace we opened the door and Santa pulled out the red potion and he said, "Drink it." I said, "Ok" after I was done drinking I was normal size again he also drank it and he was normal size too. Then we put the presents under the tree and we did the same thing to all of the houses in the world.

How Christmas Was Made

Ellie Jonas

One day December 25, 1844, Christmas wasn't a thing. That day on December 25 1844 a little girl was playing on her swings when she thought to herself" We only got presents on our birthdays". After what she thought, she jumped off the swing and ran to her house and asked her dad "why do we only get presents on our birthday". "Well should we make today a holiday". The dad says. The little girl responds saying "Sure". So the girl and her dad traveled to the mayor in Ohio while they lived in Washington, so it took awhile to get there. When she made it to the Mayor's house they asked the mayor if December 25 could be a holiday. And she says back." Yes but the holiday needs a name". So the little girl thought for about 2 minutes and came up with the word Christmas, so she told the mayor" CHRISTMAS!!"."Ok well let me think about it". The mayor says.

Now they just need an answer. By now it's been one week with no answer. And they start to get worried, so they give the mayor a call and she tells them "Oh sorry I forgot, but the answer is yes". So the little girl and her dad built a workshop in the North Pole, and they bought reindeer and a sleigh for delivering presents. They hired workers named elves so they could make sure all the machines work. And the dad had to collect Christmas lists because he needed to know who wanted what for Christmas. Soon the dad needed a name, so they thought. The little girl came up with "Santa Claus". Then the dad gave the little girl a name, she was named Ms. Claus.

Who Stole My Christmas?

McKenna McCowen

Pop, Pop, Pop. My mom was making popcorn, it was the day before Christmas Eve and I was so excited for Christmas day. I had plans to go to my grandma's house to bake cookies in the morning. I had to walk there with my brother George. He thought he was too cool to walk with me to grandmas, but her house was only 5 minutes away. I was so excited to see my grandma because I had not seen her recently. Once we got there we baked cookies and made treats but soon we had to go. When we returned home George surprisingly agreed to go sledding with me in the back yard on our little hill. After playing for some time George went inside to get some water, but I stayed outside. Little did we know Jack Frost was waiting for him inside and he put a spell on George which froze his heart, so he couldn't tell right from wrong.

After a good night's rest, I woke up and immediately said It's Christmas Eve! I went down stairs, and looked under the tree and many of the presents had disappeared. I asked myself what happened.

I remembered about the spell, connected the dots and said Jack Frost was the one who took my presents.

I went to go find Jack and begged him to unfreeze my brother. He said no so I trapped him, and put him next to a fire. He would have to unfreeze George or perish. He decided to save himself and unfreeze my brother.

My Christmas had been saved because getting my brother back was the only present I really needed.

The End.

By Jonah Paquette

Beep, beep, beep, it was the morning of Christmas Eve. It was a windy, snowy day. Everyone was hoping Santa would be alright tonight. There had been 10 feet of snow in the last 24 hours, but I was going to make sure everyone gets their gift. I am Santa's plan B, so I am going to prepare for the worst. If a reindeer runs out of gas Santa doesn't have that kind of money to fill them up after getting all the stuff to make those toys! The reindeer might also need some carrots. There are 9 reindeer so I am going to need 18 carrots. It is 23 hours till Christmas morning!

Now I'm going to set up the radio transmitter thing that I got from a yardsale. I'll be able to get to Santa in 6 hours. He should be in New york. I will plan to meet him in the middle. Oh no! It seems that he has stopped in the middle of Lake Michigan. I'll fly over there! It appears that he has crashed! I will help him and we can get these toys to all of the kids. We will be able to save Christmas with around 12 hours left till it gets light out.

I land my plane on the ice of the lake and say, "Ok, so Santa you will be on your best reindeer and I will start giving the rest of the presents to the postal workers." We should have an hour to spare to get these gifts delivered. As the hours are ticking we are staying on track and when everyone wakes up to their presents under the tree they will have no clue what had happened the night before. I did it! I had saved Christmas!

How My Sister Stole Christmas

By Ellie Sabin

Hi, I'm Alana, and I'm currently saving my little sister from a pack of reindeer, but first let's rewind. It's Christmas Eve an- " Alana, come downstairs," my Mom interrupts. "My famous cookies!" she yells. I'm tired of my Mom's "famous" cookies. She only says that because our neighbor "loves" them. I'm pretty sure she has thrown them away twice this year. "Coming," I say. ( Mom is on the phone while pouring milk.) "Remember to go to the mall with Kate," my mom whispers. "Yep" I answer.

I'm at the mall. I see a big fat jolly man sitting on a big chair. "Santa," Kate says. I tell her to wait till after lunch. She looks at me with a slight smile. We head to Milo's Big Taco. I get our food. Kate quickly eats. " Santa, Santa, Santa," she chants."Five more minutes," I said while chomping fastly. I look out the corner of my eye and see a big bright tree. "Santa, San-," Kate says. "I know," I interrupt.

We go, but I still have $20 worth of chips. I make sure to keep an eye on our food. I look away for several minutes looking at the bright, beautiful lights. When I look back, our food is gone!

"Kate, stay," I say. I go to retrieve our food from the waiter. While I'm gone, Kate opens the gate to the reindeer stall. I ran back yelling "Katttttteeee!" People are running, screaming, and crying . Kate gets a stern word from Santa, and I get my chips back.

When I get home, I get serious talk from my mom. I wish that I had talked to Santa instead. But, I realized Christmas isn't about presents or non-burnt cookies, it's about keeping your sister from stealing Christmas.

The Christmas Churros

By Caleb Solis

T'was two days until Christmas there was a slushy blizzard outside and the roads were slick as ice. Arthur was walking home; it was dark and foggy enough to make you feel blind. Arthur was tired, halfway asleep walking home unsuspecting of the unfortunate events that would transpire the next day.

Arthur got home and went to sleep so fast he forgot to eat. Arthur woke up the next morning hungry and wanted something to fulfill his hunger. Arthur wanted some fresh air and some churros; he chose to walk for some fresh air and was on his way to the churros. Arthur walked on the sidewalks that were slicker than ice; it was still foggy and you got confused if you were blind walking through the streets. Arthur took the slickest street in the town. As he walked through, he tragically got struck by a car! He got knocked cold and woke up in a hospital across the street where the churros layed. Arthur was okay besides the broken rib more devastated than in pain.

The doctors said he'd be there for five days. Arthur grew sad that he had no visitors; missing Christmas brought him down since he couldn't fly out to his parents. When he eventually recovered he went back home and to his surprise he found his mailbox stuffed with notes and chocolates from his whole family. Arthur was happy and had to repay them so when New Year's Eve came he flew over and set off a firework show but little did he know going into 2019 wasn't good at all.

The Dog Is Gone

By Rilee Steinhoff

"Mom, where is Cookie?" "In the back yard," my mom said. "Ok, I will go check," I said. I went to the back yard and called Cookie, but she didn't come. "Mom, I can't find the dog anywhere!" I wailed. "I will put up missing dog posters and we will start looking for her," my mom said.

We searched everywhere, but we couldn't find Cookie. We had to go home because it was getting late, but I couldn't stop thinking about Cookie. The next morning was Christmas Eve, and Cookie still hadn't come home. My little sister Hailey tried to cheer me up. "Do you wanna play doggies Sissy?" said Hailey. "Sure," I replied solemnly. "Come out the doggie door with me Sissy," said Hailey. Hailey went through the doggie door first and I went next. As I stuck my head through the doggie door, I saw something...but it wasn't our back yard.

I got through the door fully and I saw Santa's workshop! I then realized I was in the North Pole. Hailey and I explored Santa's workshop, and guess who we found? Cookie!! We kept exploring and I found Santa. "Why is Cookie here?" I asked. "Cookie is my helper," Santa said, "she brings tools to all of the elves." Santa told us Cookie was finished helping this Christmas, so we brought Cookie home. My family was super happy. Then we ate dinner and watched The Grinch before finally going to bed. We knew that tomorrow was going to be the best Christmas ever because we had Cookie back and we found out that she is Santa's helper.

THE END

By Nola Woodend

It was three days after Christmas break. My brother Charlie, who studies dragons in Romania, came to visit. We were all at the table having dinner when we heard a noise. "What was that?" said my year older brother Ron. A dish had just clattered to the ground. "Um..did anyone ever use that plate?" said Ron. "No," said dad, who pulled out his wand to where the crash came from. Then suddenly, a boy leaped up, grabbed Ron by the scruff of the neck, and pulled off his invisibility cloak, smirking.

"harry!" said Charlie; "what are you doing here?" "Blimey, harry!" said Ron "that was not funny." "kinda was," said harry, still smirking. "Hello, Harry, you gave us quite a scare," "sorry, Mr. Weasley. But I had to get ron back for jinxing my trunk. " "Harry!" said mum, who had run over to hug him. "I'll get you a plate." Harry sat beside me. "how was your Christmas break?" he said. "G-good," "How was yours?" "well... the ministry won't accept that Voldemort's back," "don't say his name!" I said. "Sorry!" he said quickly. After dinner, we all went to bed. When we woke, it was snowing. We tried to play Quidditch but gave up when ron fainted from the cold. When we got inside, mum made us hot cocoa. Then, after a bunch of cleaning, we went to bed. I woke up and went downstairs on Christmas morning, but I stopped dead when I heard someone.

"... Charlie, will you please consider using dragons..." Charlie whispered back. "Do you know how dangerous that is, dad?" Then, I heard someone behind me... A boy jumped up behind me, pulled me under the midsole, and kissed me. Then, suddenly I woke up.

Christmas Story

By Brennan Moore-Rodriguez

T'was a snowy night in Whoville the night before Christmas. Santa was on his sleigh with presents in the back of his sleigh. While the snow was falling Santa landed his sleigh gently on the roof of a house. While he was going down the chimney when he saw something. He saw a hairy green man with a Santa Claus costume. Santa went up to the man and asked "Who are you?" The man said " I'm Santa Claus!" Santa was confused but he left the man alone and kept giving out the presents.

But Santa kept seeing him over and over again. So he decided to walk back up to him and asked "What are you doing?" The man said "I'm stealing the presents from the houses" The man said. Santa asked furiously "WHY!?" The man said "Because I am the Grinch and I hate christmas!" Santa tried to steal the presents back but the Grinch punched Santa.
