Lyam Donohue

If I could give the world anything I would give them a covid vaccine. I do not want anybody getting sick. Because I want things to go back to normal.

McKenna McCowen

If I could give the world one gift it would be for everyone to believe in God so they would know they are safe and loved so much. I think everyone should believe in God.He is so powerful he would give you the love and appreciation that you deserve. He has done so much for me by helping me through some hard times like when my great grandma passed away. I feel that he can do that for a lot more people. God can help people through tough times. That is why I chose this present if I could give it to the world.

Victor Dean

If I could give the world a gift I would give it help to stop the epidemic. I want to stop the epidemic because everyone has to wear face masks and because everyone does not like to wear face masks. It is awful because the population is high in cases. No one likes to wear face masks because it hurts their ears and they’re hard to breath with them on. I would try to stop the pandemic so we can be free of getting sick and wearing the face masksIf I can give the world a gift I would help to stop the epidemic because it is deadly and people could die because of it.

Bryson Martin

If I could give the world one gift it would be to get rid of Trump. I think we should get rid of Trump because he is starting a political war. He let cops kill black people one by one.

We should support black people so they have a chance to win this war. If I could give he world one gift, it would be to get rid of Trump so we no longer have a political war.

Brennan Moore-Rodriguez

If I could give the world one gift, it would be health. We’ve been battling covid 19 for a long time. There are a lot of people that are getting sick from covid 19. There are also a lot of people dying from it. So for that reason I would give the world the gift of health so no more people die from covid or any disease.

Jonah Paquette

If I could give one gift I would want to give peace in the world, so it is better. Peace makes the world better so everyone is not fighting. I would love a world where people are not afraid and don’t fight. If I could give the world a gift I would give peace because it is better when people are not afraid and don’t fight.

Ellie Sabin

If I could give the world one gift it would be hope. If I could give the world hope, the world would be a lot more positive and happy. Also, there would be more happiness in the world and everyone would smile. For instance, if someone had a bad day they would have hope to cheer them up. I think that it would really change the world. I hope all people find hope in their heart already.

Caleb Solis

If I could give the world a gift it would be a place to sleep and be warm. Some people don’t have that. I’ve seen people on the side of a street with a sign saying “please give me food” or “can I have some change.” It would be nice if they had a home. People have to live like that for the rest of their lives and they die like that. It’s better if at least they have a home. So if I could give a gift to the world it would be a home.

Kyla Thurston

If I could give the world one gift I would give people another life. I would do this so we can be happy and live two lives and not just one life. In a second life we would meet new friends and spend more time with old friends and family. People could travel more or do things differently than in the first life. In the second life you could see younger friends and family. You could also fix mistakes you made in your first life. I think that giving people another chance to spend more time with loved ones and fix mistakes would be a wonderful gift!

Rilee Steinhoff

If I could give the world one gift, it would be puppies! Puppies make people happy, and right now people need happiness. People are stuck in their houses and can’t be with their friends and family during the holidays because of COVID-19. If everyone had a puppy, they could spend the holidays with their puppy and start a new family tradition for every year. Puppies are nice and cute. It would be good for people to have puppies to snuggle with them and play with them since people can’t be around other people. If I could give the world one gift, it would be puppies because they would make people happy and they would make people feel at home for the holidays.

Mrs. Olson

4th Grade

Dear Santa,

How are you doing at the North Pole? How many kids were put on the good list and the naughty list? A couple of things I would like is a drone, a skateboard and a remote control truck that goes 40 miles per hour. And two more things I would like is a basket of candy and a mystery toy. Thank you!

Merry Christmas

Micheal

Katy Allen

If I could give the world a gift I would give the world peace and harmony because the world today just needs it. And since the coronavirus happened everybody, including me, has been stressed. Sometimes I see people freaking out because of stress. I think kids miss their friends and actually going to school. If I could give the world a gift I would give peace and harmony.

Izabelle Anderson

If I could give the whole world a gift it would be world peace or harmony. I could give the world a new pet shop that would take care of all animals no matter what they are or I could help poor people. There could be 1,000 different gifts, but I think that I would choose world peace.

Tadin Baker

If I could give the world a gift I would give the world a healthy life. I love school and friends, family and activities. My friends hang out with me and when I want to do something they’re there to help me. Everyone is missing a lot. They are missing a lot of happiness and a lot of joy. School, friends, family, and activities. They keep me strong when I am down, and they are fun to hang out with and school is fun. And parents should get better respect because they did a lot for me and my family. Parents should not get bad respect. They help us a lot. They deserve better. If I could give the world a gift it would be to give it a better and a healthy life.

Jostin Bowen

If I could give the world a gift I would give it a lot of trucks so people can drive them all day and night.If my dad did not have a truck he would not be able to go to work, and I would not be able to go to school, and I would not be able to have fun with my family, and we could not get a Christmas tree. That is why people should get trucks.

Dylan Brown

If I could give the world a gift I would give the world better people. I would give the world better people because the world needs to be a better place, because of humans. So if I were to give the world a gift, it would be better humans. My reason is, there are too many robbers, too many drive-by shooters, there are just too many bad people on this earth. Some people think what they do is what they should do, but half of those people are wrong, because half of those people are bad people. My evidence is the news, almost every day the news has something bad going on with the world, like about 8 or 9 months ago the corona got so bad that the news said we had to be quarantined. The people on the news are good people, just like teachers. I would give the world better people, because the world needs to be a better place because of humans. Some humans need to change. That’s what I would give the world as a gift.

Luis Dean

If I could give the world a gift, I would stop pollution. I want to stop pollution so we can breathe clean air. Pollution is made of gases that go in the air from factories, cars, and more. Pollution makes it harder to breathe. I suggest we plant like one billion trees, so we can breathe air that is freshly made from trees. Trees provide oxygen to help you breathe clean air. I would like to give the world the opportunity to get rid of pollution so we can breathe better.

Andrew Gillum

If I could give the world a gift I would give it free food so nobody will starve. And homeless people can eat. And people without money for food can just go get food. And homeless people can save up their food money for houses and other things like beds, blankets, cars, phones, and clothes. If I could give the world a gift I would give free food.

Morgyn Hutchens

If I could give the world a gift I would give it more forests, because animals are losing their homes. There are fires that cause animals to have to find more homes. I see forest fires a lot on the news. It would give animals a place to go. There are a lot of animals losing their homes. I also hear on the news animals are dying. It would be good for animals to have a place to go. If I could give the world a gift it would be forests, so animals could go to a new home.

Nina Jaech

If I could give the world any gift I would give love, because there is a lot of hate everywhere I go. I want to stop hate from getting the best of us. I’d like to change people’s hate for love because Christmas is for getting up together and sharing love around the world. I’d also like peace because I see everyone being mean to each other. I want to have a friend bond where you don’t fight and you’re happy. Love Is spreading around the world’s Christmas donations are for happy lives for Christmas to be a happy day for poor kids.

Ethan Turner

If I could give the world a gift I would give it video games. There are a lot of people who like video games. I hear people that say stuff about video games, like they reached a new record, especially my class. It would be nice for the people that like video games to get new video games. There are a lot of video games in the world. I hear about video games on commercials. Video games would keep people busy and give them something to do. If I could give the world a gift, it would be video games because children would stay out of adult’s way.

Nola Woodend

If I could give the world anything it would be telling everyone about Jesus {and I mean everyone}. I believe that everyone can learn about God. Because God is the best person I have ever known. I know some people think he is not real, but he is very real. We can’t really see him but I know he is real. It would be nice if everyone believed in him. Because I want everyone to be allowed in the kingdom of God.They should read the bible and talk about it. It would be great for everyone. If I could give the world anything it would be God. Because people really need him right now. Also, Christmas is God’s birthday.

Zane Riddle:

Dear Santa:

What do you do when it’s not Christmas? How far is it to the North Pole from Washington? What do you do on different holidays? I would like Shopkins Cutie O’s Mini Mega Mart. And I would like my own Computer because I can play my own games. And I would like a game called Roblox, Shopkins Shoppie doll Angelique Star. Best Wishes & Good Luck.

Love, Zane

The box with Christmas spirit

One day at the North Pole there was a reindeer that wasn’t acting like himself. His name was MR. Jingles but his buddies called him Jing Jing mostly because of the noise his bells made when he pranced around. You see his bells were damaged during shipment but MR. Claus didn’t want to fight with Amazon shipping so he decided to give the damaged bells to the youngest reindeer. His bells made more of a clunky jingle jangle and all the other reindeer would laugh

Rudolph came to him one day and said “ Son, I was bullied when I was young because I had a red glowing nose. They would laugh and call me all kinds of names and look where i am now, leader of the pack”. This made Jing Jing feel a lot of relief that he really was not that different.

As time went on Jing Jing grew up and grew too big for his little damaged bells and they got handed down to the youngest of the pack. He made sure to explain to the little guy that if anyone picked on him to let him know and that having something different does not make you any less special. We all have our own unique qualities and differences and that’s what makes us who we are.

Those little damaged bells still jingle in their own special little way and they hold a dear place in Santa’s heart. Who would’ve thought that a smooshed amazon box could hold so much christmas spirit.

Denver Hutchens

Once upon a time, in a town called Whoville, there lived many Whos. It was almost Christmas, and everyone was singing Christmas songs. Above the city on Mount Crumpit, the grinch was ready to leave and steal Christmas from everyone. The grinch sledded down the hill and stole every Christmas decoration except for the decorations on one house. In front of the last house there was a snowman with a top hat. The grinch stole everything from the house but he thought the snowman kept turning in his direction so it was watching him. He decided he was being paranoid and went back up to Mount Crumpit. Now that the grinch was back, he went to take a nap. At about 3 in the morning, he heard a knock on the door. He asked who it was and the person said that his name was Frosty. The grinch thought that someone was going to try and take back Christmas. He went and got his snowball launcher and opened the door. Right as he was about to shoot, he got pelted with 20 snowballs at once. He started shooting wildly at where he thought was the doorway. There were so many snowballs now, that he couldn’t see. He kept shooting until he was out of snowballs and then he waved his white flag. The shooting ceased. In the doorway was a snowman that could walk and talk and had a very good snowball launcher. He called himself Frosty the Snowman. Frosty agreed to stop launching snowballs if the Grinch agreed to give Christmas back to Whoville. The Grinch agreed and together they gave everything back before any Whos woke up. Somehow, the Whos found out that Frosty had saved Christmas and they called him a hero.

There once was a reindeer who you probably have never heard of. His name was Alfred, at this time he was very young. He was very naughty, he would steal presents and destroy them, bite elves, and throw snowballs at elves working in the workshop. No one liked him or wanted to be his friend so he continued being bad. One day, Alfred decided to do the naughtiest thing yet. He decided tonight he was going to steal Santa’s sleigh and fly it around the world! First, he flew to a small town he was looping around until he lost control and fell headfirst into the snow. There was a squeal. Alfred slowly got up and looked around there was no one to be seen. He looked down and a small child was looking up at him with big eyes, “Hewwo! My name is Susie what’s yours?” She exclaimed, “Uh um, my name i-is A-Alfred.” Then out of nowhere, there was a jingling sound. It was the sound of bells. “Uh oh…” Whispers Alfred. It was Santa riding on Rudolf to come to pick him up. When they get back to the North Pole the elves walk around the sleigh to see the damage but what they saw gave them a shock. It was Susie the orphan clamped onto the front of the sleigh with her eyes wide open and her hair in knots. Santa decided that she could stay at the NorthNort Pole and he banished Alfred from the North Pole. No one has seen him since.

Home alone for christmas

One morning my sister walked home from work and started home work. Her name was Shelby and she was pretty. I wanted to be like her, like most sister’s we fought, but on Christmas Eve we went to the mall and it was nice. Then I looked away for one second and Shelby was gone So I went home. She was not there. I was home alone but then I heard a loud bang on the door. It was not her as I wished I was worried. The person that made the sound was not there. I wondered if She would come home.

I yelled at the top of my lungs “ where are u sister”. Then I cried. Mom and dad were not home and they are in colorado and Shelby and I were in hawaii “I am ok I will not stay alone forever”, I said quietly.

I went to a restaurant called panda express, and had white rice and sweet and fire chicken, for my sauce I had sweet and fire sauce. It was yummy. Then I went to the skatepark with my friend Skyler. We skated down and up the ramps and did swirls but it was not as fun without my sister. Then Skyler and I went to the water park and ate the panda express food that I bought.

We went to the beach, did some swimming, then we went to my house, my sister was still missing. So we ate a lot of junk food and watched a lot of movies that also were not as fun without my sister. Then Skyler had to go to her house across the street. I was alone again.

A day passed and it was christmas morning and the strangest thing was that all the presents were already under the tree and ,“I totally did not put them there last night i”,said to myself, “ and I did put out cookies for my sister on the hearth and left the door unlocked for her to” “I wonder would the door be locked as if she came and ate the cookies i baked for her and go to her room”. As u may have wondered if those things happened or not well they did and I went up to my sister’s room and heard snoring. I went in and found her there on her bed. I yelled “ wake up you lazy bones it’s christmas morning you’re not supposed to be sleeping in.” Then we went to the christmas tree and opened presents and after lunch friends came over these were their names, Brenna, Skyler, Caleb, they were caring gifts and we of course had gifts for them too.

•I got a phone called i phone 10

• picture of the sea

• Movie called pirates of the Caribbean

Christmas Morning

Once a long time ago there were these twin sisters that hated each other Sky and Jers those were their names…

So it was Christmas eve and they were so excited for tomorrow morning so their mom

put presents out. Their mom was so happy for them because they were getting along but so she thought. She went to bed and Sky went into Jers’s room and she said, “ I am going to get a T.V. for Christmas’’… So Jers popped back with,” Oh is that Sky she sounds like a baby”. So Sky ran into her room and cried until her mom heard her and she came up stairs and she said ¨Oh sorry i just ran into a wall.¨ Then they finally fell asleep…

It was Christmas morning and they slept in. Their mom was not expecting that so she went upstairs and they were gone. What happened? But little did she know her girls go on runs every morning so they came back and her mom was so worried but then they went upstairs showered and they FINALLY came down stairs and opened presents. Sky was so happy for her T.V. and then she opened the box that she thought that was her T.V. but she just kept opening boxes one after the other and got to the last box and it was a NECKLACE..

Jers was opening her presents and she got one with a T.V. Remote and Sky was furious and wanted revenge but at first she didn’t do anything. She was acting nice and sweet which is not usual but Jers knew something was up. But they didn’t know Sky was planning revenge on Jers. So about 10 mins later Sky found a way to get revenge on her sister. She said, ¨I should trash her room and break her T.V.¨ So she did and Jers came up stairs and started bawling her eyes out and Sky felt so good about what she did but 20 mins later she felt really bad. Then told Jers that she would clean her room and buy her a new T.V. So she did and then Jers was really happy. They made up and Sky found out that she got a CAR but she let Jers drive it first. Jers was so excited.

So Sky and Jers after that Christmas were Best Friends never argued again and lived happily ever after THE END

So it was a nice snowy day and at a house there were 2 kids playing in the snow. One of their names was Eric and the other one was Danny. Danny said to his brother, “I can’t believe it is the day before Christmas I am so excited I think I know what I’m getting for Christmas.” Then suddenly their mom said “they are here,” so both Eric and Danny went and looked and their cousins and their grandparents were there. They were so excited, they ran up to go hug them and ask how they were. They said they were good and then they all went inside and decorated the Christmas tree. They had the best time ever. When they were done with the tree the cousins and Eric and Danny went outside they were all talking and playing then after an hour of playing and talking their mom said they made cookies, so they went and got a glass of milk and went and laid down and watched a movie while the parents were wrapping presents. The parents went out and the kids were asleep so they put the presents under the tree and then also went to sleep. In the middle of the night Eric heard a scratching noise at the window. He woke up Danny and they went to look and there was a small hole through the window. They were scared they went to turn around to tell their parents and they were gone and they saw such a tall figure and they started screaming and they started to run and run and they got into there town and they found a place to go in and they called the police and they hated Christmas for the rest of their life. That was Danny and Eric’s worst christmas

Christmas Saved

“Ug I can’t sleep and on Christmas, it is 12:00 in the morning.” I said to myself, I am sitting in the living room by the fire. I was thinking about how I am always alone on Christmas. I have no one to spend it on Christmas, then I thought “does Santa have a son.” Then all of a sudden there was stuff falling in the fire. I poured water on the fire and looked up and saw a red suit coming down the chimney so I moved and hid. “why did I have to come?” a voice said “because I don’t want to do it.” another voice said. My heart was racing. I was thinking, are these people rodders or something? Then I saw this really cute guy, so I went out of my hiding place and said “ who are you guys.” there was silence “ she sees you dad.” I was thinking about what is going on here. I am 26 and here with a guy that looks like Santa. “Hi mam I am just going to take your tree and your stocking.” the man said with a clam voice. “Oh no you’re not.” I went to the kitchen and graded a spatula and started to hit the Santa guy and said “get out of my house.” then I heard “YOU ARE ON THE NAGHTY LIST!” from the man I was hitting then I stopped “ wait are you santa?” I said very confused. “Yes I am Santa Kristy!” then my eyes went on the other guy, I held up the spatula and ran to the other guy and before I got to him he yelled “ I AM HIS SON!” I stopped running at him. Then I told them to sit on the couch and my mind was going crazy “ok you are santa and you are his son, dut why are you stealing my tree and stuff?” I asked, staring at Santa son. “ We were stealing your stuff because dad lost his christmas spirit and stop calling me his son and my name is Chris.” I was looking at santa and said “how did you lose your christmas spirit?” then he got up and said “oh look we got to go.” I got up and graded the spatula off the couch and said “sit down now!” he got so scared and sat down “here look at this.” I said and handed him my pictures of me when I was a kid on christmas and he took it, I started to talk to chris “so how old are you I am 26?” I asked him. “I am 27.” Then santa stood up and looked at the tree, then looked at me and said “ I am back!” he graded Chris and he jumped up the chimney and let Chris hand go he turned around and looked at me “ do you want to come with me to finish delivering pernst?”I stared at him and thought how long will I go with me “ok I will go with you.” we climbed up the chimney and was coughing and asked “how do you do this without coughing?” We got up to the rooftop and he told me “ I have to do training so I can be the next santa.” we went into the slana and I saw all the reindeer. I thought “ok this is getting real.” I got in the slal “Hold on things are going to get bumpy.” Chris said with a smirk on his face. We started to go up in the air and then there was a dash of wind, I almost fell out when the wind hit me. We gave out all the presents to kids “ well I should go home now.” I said in a sad voice. “ do you have to go? You could come with me and we could be together.”Chris said almost in tears. I was living alone and I liked him so I stayed. We went to the north pole and I told them “ even though I am 26 and live alone and I still believe in santa.” they both looked at me then Chris kissed me I was surprised that he kissed me. We got to Santa’s workshop and I saw all the elfs and priests “ wow this is amazing.” I saw so much stuff I looked at Chris and Santa in amazement. They show the way to the room that I will sleep in. I was surprised at what was happening to me, I get to see Santa, I went to his workshop, I got kissed, a lot of stuff was happening to me that people wouldn’t believe. I went to sleep in my room. I was very tired. The next day I thought it was all a dream then I looked where I was I said “ oh never mind it wasn’t a dream.” I rubbed my face and saw a ring and then I remembered what happened that night, Chris kissed me, then he asked me to marry him and I said yes so my life turned out good after all.

The Night Before Christmas

It was the night before Christmas, all through the house was quiet. The oldest child named Lizzy woke up to a thumping sound on the roof above her bed room. She leaped out of bed ran quietly across the hall and down the stairs. She stopped at the bottom of the stairs expecting to see Santa eating the cookies and drinking the milk she set out an hour or two ago.

But there was no presents under the tree yet and the cookies and milk were untouched. Then suddenly she heard a big crash upstairs. Then it sounded like boots coming down the stairs. Lizzy got startled and leaped behind a chair next to the small table with the milk and cookies on it. She kept quiet, until she saw Mason and Jase walking down the stairs, she got up and she said.

“Mason!, Jase!, what are you doing? “

Mason spoke up, “ We heard something on the roof so we were going to see what it was “

Jase said, “ I was just going to follow him and see what we find out there “

Before Lizzy could say anything, a loud crash came from the chimney. All the kids, Lizzy, Mason, Jase, all ran up the stairs and into their beds. Mason was still curious about what was in their there living room. So Mason got his little brother first, and then walked over to his sisters room. She agreed to go down stairs and see what was happening.

So they did, then before they could see anything, then all the siblings one by one tripped and fell down the stairs. Then before they could get up, they felt a thump on theirthere heads. They were never seen again. There are rumorsis rumors that santa turned them into elves.

It was Christmas Eve and everyone was asleep in their beds waiting for Christmas morning to open up the big, small and sparkly presents. “Bang, crunch”. The sleepy little child got out of his bed to see what made all the noise. At first he was excited thinking that he would finally see Santa. The sleepy but excited boy made his way down the stairs, past the kitchen to the living room. He tried to see the snow white beard and the red coat but instead he saw glass shattered everywhere from the broken window and a man in all balck putting everything that would fit into his bag instead of taking toys out and putting them under the tree. He was a little confused and scared, “That doesn’t look like Santa.” thought the little boy. So he made his way back though the kitchen and up the stairs to his parents room. He opened the door slowly, made his way to his parents bed, got on to the bed and shook them awake. “What are you doing? It’s too early to open presents.” said the mom. He looked at his parents and asked “Why is Santa taking our stuff instead of leaving toys?” The parents looked at each other and got out of bed. The dad went downstairs to make sure the robber didn’t leave their house with all of their things, while the mom called the police. The police showed up and arrested the robber, the parents cleaned up the shattered glass, they all went back to bed and tried to sleep. The next morning there were more presents under the tree, stuffed stockings and a new window.

My Christmas Story

It was Christmas Eve I was just going to bed but I heard a thump on the roof so I got up wondering what it was. I saw something up on the roof then I said it doesn’t matter what it is I’ll just go back to bed. When I went back to bed I heard it again it still didn’t bother me I rolled over and went to sleep. When I woke up in the morning it was time to open presents my mom had already prepared eggnog It was time for fun. I opened up a large present first and it was the best one of all. When I started unwrapping it it was kind of hard to tell but when it was open I saw the delight, a brand new blue bike. The next present I opened was the smallest one . Then I realized I had a box wrapped in the exact shape of something I wanted, a brand new PS5. I went over to the present and I grabbed it and I started unwrapping what looked like a different box than what the PS5 came in. I was surprised but when I finally opened it was a puzzle. I was under my breath that the present was not what I wanted. When I looked at my other presents I opened them all up. I got a new pack of Pokemon, a brand new blue bike, and my favorite of all fortnite action figures. When I looked around at all my presents I realized how lucky I was to get all this stuff and I thought about those kids who don’t get Christmas and I took a puzzle and two other puzzles that I owned to a foster Center. After all this was the best Christmas ever I got to see my family.

Most families have sweet, everlasting memories of Christmas. Our family Christmas’ are never not memorable. Mouse traps in stockings, pranks, paintball wars you name it. This one Christmas though was more memorable than most.

It started as a typical day on the coast, foggy and raining. It looked like something straight out of a horror movie. My rambunctious family wasn’t about to sit in a small beach house all weekend. So we went out to cause some trouble of course. We arrived at endless dunes full of rolling hills and ATVs. Sweet old grammy decides to try out her Polaris 850. We were all having fun. Until dear Grammy decided to fullyfull send it off a jump. I couldn’t tell you how big it was. The fog was too thickto thick to tell. Last time I checked she was going around 64 M.P.H. My uncle’s face when he saw his 65 year old mom flying through the air was hysterical.

All I saw was sand flying and a 4 wheeler tumbling over and over again down the hill. That’s when I knew this Christmas was going to end in a trip to the E.R. I flung open the door to the Razor and booked it down the hill. At this point the 4wheeler stopped tumbling, and Grammy was laying face down in the sand. When I finally got to her I was yelling, Are you ok!!!!......No answer…... I asked again. Finally she answered. “Well that hurt “she says. But instead of a serious tone she was laughing hysterically. So I quickly got out my phone and dial 911.A few minutes later the ambulance was there putting Grammy on a stretcher.

After following the ambulance to the hospital and hours of waiting Grammy is ok.We all laugh thinking about the day Grammy sent it a little too hardto hard.

The elves started acting up a week before Christmas. They started acting up in ways that Santa had never expected them to. They started getting lazier, disobeying Santa, and stealing toys. They wouldn’t make anything either. They started going places when they were supposed to be making toys and candy. One day Santa followed them to where they were going.

He had been following them for a while when finally, he stopped crawling through the snow, looked up, saw a cave and wondered why they were coming here but then he started seeing the signs, next the cave door, and he was furious. Right as an elf walked by Santa picked him up and took him behind the cave and screamed,” WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!”

The elf tried to get out of Santa’s hands for what felt like hours while Santa shot him down with questions. Finally, the elf stopped squirming, now Santa could ask him again but before he could the elf had already started telling him, he said, “OH Santa I’m so sorry the Grinch came to us and told us that if we didn’t steal all of your toys by Christmas then we would never see our king again.”

So Santa put the elf down and went back to his shop. He felt bad for the elves. So he was going to try and help them, but he didn’t have any idea what to do. Then he saw his toy shrinker and he finally got an idea. He went over to his shrinker shrunk himself and put an elves clothes on then a hat and he covered his ears. He went to the Grinch’s cave, set the elf king free, and they all lived happily ever after.

Zoey opened her eyes to a cold day in winter and a light frost covering the ground outside of her bush. She lazily looked around and found that the rest of her litter was still sleeping. Zoey stood up and shoved her way out of the bush. Her paws felt a tingling sensation on the cold ground, but she ignored it, and silently padded away from the bush. She was never allowed far from it, but today she craved exploring the human town, so she headed off in that direction.

Zoey squeezed through a hole in the fence into an alleyway. The crumbling asphalt was quite uncomfortable, yet she still trotted forward, wanting to watch the twinkling lights humans put up. She stood there for a moment, taking it all in, when she heard loud yapping coming towards her. Zoey turned around to find a huge ferocious dog speeding towards her. She spun around again to run away, but the alley was a dead end. Zoey looked at the dog, ready to face her fate, but it had stopped, and was sitting down. “Are you lost?” the dog asked. “Um, I… I came here to explore a bit…” Zoey stuttered. The dog got excited all of a sudden. “Today is Christmas! You know- the day humans celebrate where they give each other presents!” The dog went on about this wonderful day, and Zoey wished she and her family could celebrate it. “Here, for Christmas, have my collar!” He buckled it around Zoey’s neck. “Well, a kitten like you shouldn’t be out here alone.”

Zoey headed back to her bush, and told her litter about Christmas. “Let’s celebrate that here!” one of her siblings said. Ever since then, Zoey’s family had Christmas every year. The end.

This story is about a young boy and his great Christmas adventure. In a small little house and in a small little room lived a small young boy named Billy. Christmas was his favorite day of the year. It’s the day when him and his family would cuddle next to the fire while opening Christmas presents and sipping lots of hot cocoa.

He also loved to imagine on Christmas Eve that he would hear all of the reindeer and Santa’s slay clicking and clacking on the roof. But this year when he tried to go to sleep he heard a loud noise. It sounded like something big. So he went to go check it out. But when he walked out the front door he heard someone groaning. So Billy walked towards the sound and found a big man in all red, and white, with a stocking cap on his head. When he saw the man’s face he knew exactly who it was. It was Santa. But he also noticed that Santa was injured.

So Billy knew what he had to do. He had to save Christmas. So he dashed to the slay. When he learned how to fly the slay he took off delivering presents to one house after another. After delivering the presents to almost all of the houses he still had one house left. He hopped in his slay and went straight for the house but the slay got stuck on a tree. So he had to deliver on foot. He quietly snuck into the house and set the presents under the tree. But he heard a sound from his house which was right next door, which was his house. So he dashed through the front door then through his room door. Then he was safe and sound and was dreaming about Christmas day. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

It was dark. James couldn’t see a thing in the darkness. He pulled out a flashlight from under the covers. He heard a noise coming from downstairs. He crept downstairs to see what, or who, was down there. He was then blindfolded. When he woke up, James saw short men with pointy ears, toys on a conveyor belt. And out of the corner of his eye, he saw a plump man in a red and white suit. “Santa!” James shouted. “Where am I?” asked James. “You’re at the North pole. And I need your help James,” Santa replied.

“But, why me? And why was I taken? And blindfolded”?

“You are a believer, and the sleigh runs best with a believer in it. Also, you live pretty close to the pole. Made it pretty easy to get to you. Lastly, we couldn’t tell you were coming”. Now James was kind of suspicious of Santa because he had always been told he was fake, but with trust, James said “I’ll help you Santa”. So James and the elves started packing up the presents in the sleigh. There might have been some mishaps along the way. But, they they got through them pretty quickly. They were ready to take off, and take off they did. They took off like a bolt of lightning. And when they took off, James and Santa shouted “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night”.

Kile woke up to the instant realization that propellers are spinning on the roof. He got up from his bed and ran up to the roof there Kile had planned for a helicopter to take him to the North pole because Santa had been giving him coal ever since he was seven and shot someone with a bb.

The propellers started spinning faster so he jumped in and buckled up. The pilot took off for a 2-day flight. They got close and Kile knew exactly what to do. He got on his parachute and waited for the pilot to give him the signal. All he saw was snow beneath him but he knew that Santa would camouflage his base so the pilot used radar.

The radar started beeping loudly. The pilot gave him the signal and he was off. The sheering cold wind felt like someone was scratching his face off and the snow felt like bullets but he had felt this before when he skydived with his dad. He activated his parachute and landed safely.

He saw Santa go into a room and elf’s passing in and out of it. He snuck in and right in front of him turned around was Santa!!! Kile leaped behind a box and Santa sat there for a few minutes and then left. He knew he didn’t have much time so he ran to the computer and typed in his name. He was about to change himself from naughty to nice but he saw that when he bragged to his friends it made them feel bad about themselves or when he shot that guy how much it hurt him so he decided not to.

Poof!!! He wakes up in his bed, walks down stairs and sees presents under the tree for him!!!

Nightmare Of Christmas Eve

It was Christmas morning and snow was gently falling down as the Shantel family was waking up. In excitement, they ran to their mother and father’s room to wake them up. When they entered their parent’s room they were nowhere to be found. It was a big mansion so they could be anywhere. “Maybe they’re playing hide and seek,” the youngest named Velvet said. The children searched the house, but unfortunately found nothing but piles of presents under their giant Christmas tree. “Let’s go check and see if our car is in the driveway.” Penelope the middle child, replied hesitantly. They ran out expecting to see their new black Rolls Royce sitting in the driveway but instead, they found a note that said in red writing “Presents Or Pool? Choose wisely!” As anxious as they were to open presents Chantel, the oldest, thought otherwise. “What if it’s a trap, and they think we would be selfish enough to choose the presents? I think we should go to the pool!” she exclaimed. Reluctantly they followed her to the pool. Once they arrived they saw something like a blood-red snake moving slowly through the pool coming towards them! “What is that?” Velvet said in shock. Chantel yelled, “RUN!” With haste, they ran screaming with horror. “WHAT WAS THAT?” Penelope said when they got in the house. “I’m not certain?” Chantel replied. Shaking with fear and questioning this whole mess Velvet awoke to her mother standing in front of her shaking her attempting to wake her up. The whole family was standing in her room. “Why were you screaming? Are you okay?” Velvet’s mother asked. “What? I-I well uh” Velvet said trying to think through it all. After the family heard the whole story they went back to having a jolly Christmas, opening presents and after unwrapping gifts they all played in the snow.

One Christmas years ago there was a family that lived many many miles away from anyone and they lived a good life. The first Christmas they were there that got a Christmas tree and made ornaments for it and the day before Christmas the kids john and jimmy were very excited for Christmas. The next morning, they came to a surprise that there were no presents under their tree! The mom thought to herself that Santa forgot about them. So the mom sent a letter so Santa forgot to deliver presents to them. When the letter got to Santa he felt bad that he told his elf minions to create a time machine so he could fix his mistake. One month later. “Finally the time machine is done, now I can go back in time and fix my mistake.” said Santa. “Alright in I go” Back in time at the forsh family, “I can’t wait to open the presents!” said tommy 4:00 AM. “go to sleep” said john so jimmy laid in bed till he heard his parents get up and shook john awake and ran to the living room to open the presents and they waited until their parents came down and their parents told them to eat breakfast so after breakfast they all sat around the Christmas tree and opened their presents starting with jimmy, the youngest. And as the years past Santa always remembered about that time and they lived happily ever after.
