Christmas

By Antoine Harry

One of my favourite Christmas traditions is getting presents. Sometimes you get awesome stuff. Sometimes you get someting like clothes, which isn’t as cool. One cool present I got one year was a piano. Sledding is cool. I like decorating the tree sometimes. I like the winter because you get stay inside for most of the season which is fun because I get to play fun games like Doki Doki Blue Skies. I like video games, I think.

The Christmas I woke up from water

Keisha Harry

Usually on Christmas Eve we make a gingerbread house for Santa or go to church but we don’t stay that long so we head back home and we hang out, watch TV, but after all of that I got very tired and slept on the couch.

Then, when it was morning, I felt tired and there wa a commotion around me. I didn’t want to open my eyes because it was so bright that everything around me was blurry. I quickly went on my side to keep the darkness sealed under the blankets until I felt someone poking me and patting my head saying my name a thousand times along with the words ‘wake up’ and they keep adding more words to it like ‘it’s the afternoon you have to wake up’ or ‘it’s Christmas, everyone is wating for you to wake up.’

I wasn’t in the mood, so I said out loud ‘just do it without me.’ Everyone didn’t want to do that, so they’ll do what any other family will do, dump water on me.

I woke up… soaking wet …

Then and there I felt like the Grinch.

Christmas

By Qualin Tomma

For Christmas we look for a Christmas tree. We cut it odn, then go home and decorate it. Then we go sliding for three hours.

Then we have hot chocolate. Then we have Christmas dinner. Then we watch a Christmas movie. Then go to bed.

Then in the morning there’s presents under the tree, but then we have to wait.

Everyone wakes up. We then open the presents.

We get a lot of stuff. We make a gingerbread house and eat it after.

Christmas

My favourite Christmas tradition is opening all my Christmas presents and getting cool stuff. Like one year I got a new phone and some new video games and other pretty cool stuff.

Then I go to my grandma’s house and have some food, but probably not this year but I’m not sure. Then I’ll go outside and go sledding with my cousins and watch someone fall off their sled and laugh and probably have a snowball fight.

Then, go to my other grandma’s house and eat some pie and open some more presents. In some part of this day, I would have gone inside to have some hot chocolate. Later in the day we go back to town and sleep, I guess.

The end.

My favourite thing about Christmas is decorating our house. I like getting presents and new toys. Every Christmas I enjoy sitting on Santa’s lap. I hope we make a gingerbread house. It’s fun to turn on the Christmas lights.

Family Christmas traditions

By Danielle

We decorate our tree, windows and doors. I help my mom bake Christmas cookies. On Christmas Day we wait till everyone is awake before we open our presents. I don’t want to miss out on anything, so I go to sleep early because I know Santa is coming.
