Christmas Traditions By Kathryn Johnson

Every Christmas Eve night we go to our church for a candlelight service. When we walked in there were baskets of candles and everybody got one. Then, when we walked into the sanctuary and we went to our seats and put our things down and went and talked to people we know. Then when it started we sang lots of Christmas carols and when it came time to sing Silent Night the decons of the church, including my dad, came around with big red candles and lit everyone’s candles .When it was done we cleaned up and left.

Then, when we got home we put our stuff down but were kind-of sad because every year we get to open one present on christmas eve, and we all knew it would be some matching christmas pj’s. The reason we were sad though was because we weren’t going to get them that year.

After that we watched a christmas movie and I had to go to bed before the movie was over and I was mad. When I woke up the next morning I was so excited because, IT WAS CHRISTMAS!!! First I went and saw my family. Then I went outside to see one of my dogs. When I went back inside I got ready and went to the christmas tree.After that,we opened all of our presents and. Then for a little bit I played with my toys and then watched TV. Then, we went to our friend's house for the rest of the day. There we ate,rode golf carts,and played games.When we got back home I gave everybody christmas cards that I made. It was a very merry Christmas.

The Snow Globe Adventure By Graham Mooneyhan

Once upon a time, there was a kid named Brantley.One time he had a snow globe in his room.The thing is that it was a magical snow globe.

One time he touched the snow globe and it sucked him inside it and inside it was a christmas wonderland. Brantley said to himself “How do we get out of here?” So he walked for an hour then he climbed up a mountain and on top of it was a door. Behind it was a green guy called the Grinch. He does not like Christmas at all.Then he knocked on the door. Then opened the door and said “Who are you? Are you Cindy Lou Who?” Brantley said 'That's not who I am. I live really far away from Whoville. Could you help me get out of here?” The Grinch said “Ok.” So they walked a little bit and then they saw Frosty the Snowman. Then he said, “Can I help y'all?”

Brantley said “Yes.”

Then they saw Santa and his reindeer. Santa said “Could I help y'all get out of here?' and Brantley said, “Of course.” So they walked for a while then Santa said “I have lost one of my reindeer can you help me find it.”

So Brantley, Santa, the Grinch, the reindeer, and Frosty walked for a very long time.Then Santa saw a bright red little nose in the snow.Then Santa said ”Look it's Rudolph the red nosed reindeer!” Then Santa gave him a carrot.Then once when they were walking they saw Kevin from Home Alone. Kevin said “Can I help?” So Brantley said, “Yes!” So all of them walked. This yeti named Crumble said, “I want to help too, so can I help?” Then Brantley said, “Ok.”

Then Brantley saw a purple and blue portal. Brantley and his friends all went through it. They all made it back safely!
