When The Clock Struck Midnight

It was almost Christmas Eve. I was really nervous if I have been a good girl or not. I hope I have. Any way there are these boys at school, and they say that Santa isn’t real, but I know he is real, but I had only one day to prove it. I wonder how?
That night I had a great idea. I will run away to the North Pole, that was my great idea. The next morning I asked my mom for some help, but she said, “Well honey I need to put up the Christmas lights” when she was watching T.V. Well I guess she doesn’t want to help me. Then I asked my sister but she was on the phone with her friend Erin. Then I asked my dad and he said later. I told my sister to call Erin on her cell phone so I could use the phone. I called my best friends Hannah & Amanda to help me, and I know they will. I asked my mom if I could go over to Hannah’s house and so did Amanda.
When we were all at Hannah’s house we all made the plan. We would leave to night. We had to quick pack up to leave. We packed puffy coats, some food for the plane, sleeping bags (with built in pillows), some blankets, clothes, our stuffed animals, also Amanda’s cell phone.
That night we walked to the airport. It wasn’t very busy. It was a long flight. When we got to the North Pole we called 411 for the address for Santa’s workshop. We got the address. We followed the way that they told us to.
Then after a while we found the place. We opened the doors. It was beautiful. We couldn’t believe our eyes. We walked in but no one noticed us because all the elves were so busy. They looked all around Santa's office. They saw some doors so they went in them.
They looked in, they saw a jolly man with rosy cheeks, and a white beard. They whispered so he is real. They ask him a Q, “Are you Santa”. He said, ”I am”. We all looked suprised. I said “You're Santa the jolly guy” “Yep that is me. The jolly guy. Why is there a problem”, he asked. ”No.” We were just out the door when he said, ”It’s pretty cold out side, would you like to stay here.” We nodded our heads. We had some hot coco and talked about why we came here. We lost track of time and it was eight o’clock. We helped get the Reindeer set up to fly. It was 11:30. The clock was about to strike 12. We got in the Sleigh. We flew off. We couldn’t look down we were to scared. I looked at my two friends and they were screaming, so was I. But all of a sudden we flew out of the sleigh. But then I was on the floor with my friends and blankets on top of us. That morning we opened our presents all together. When we went back to school they were still teasing me, but I knew Santa was real.

It is Christmas Eve. I am in my bed. I am listening for sounds. I hear an owl hooting, a dog barking, I hear the sound of the stream rushing by my house. Those sounds I hear every night. Suddenly I hear the sound of something scurrying down the stairs. I sit up. I know that sound isn’t the sound of my cat pawing the colored balls on the tree. I know that sound isn’t Santa sliding down the chimney. Suddenly it comes to me. The Christmas monster! I get out of my bed, grab my flashlight, and run downstairs. I look around but I don’t find anything. I go back to bed. On Christmas morning I tell my mom and dad about what happened. They didn’t believe me. I open my presents silently. I will probably never find out what happened. But I know that no Christmas monster can ever ruin my Christmas.

MY HOLIDAYS PLANS…
My holiday plans are that in Christmas I am going to have a party but not with my family because they got in a fight. After that we are just going somewhere but my sister is going to spend the time with her friend.
My wish list.
I wish for a PSP and a WII and especially I want a X BOX 360 and that is it and some money in the bank because I have a card. You could have a card you know so if you want to I just want that. But my mom and my dad bought me some dolls and I don’t like them.

My holiday is called eed. I have eed 3 times a year. The next eed is December 19. That is tomorrow. I have to miss school for the holiday.
I’m might go to the family fun center me and my brother and sister never went to the family fun center.
I’m sad that I'm going to miss school because I have a reading group party on the same day. So I have to miss the party. My sister Sahra has to miss a test on the same day too. So that is my holiday plans.

3. Nintendo DS
4. Halo 3
5. Xbox live
6. smack down vs. raw 08
7. Time Shift

I like Smack Down vs. Raw 08 because I like wrestling and I know most of the players in the game. The best thing about it is that you can do any kind of match like a ladder match.
Another game I like is Halo 3, because there are new weapons. There’s also new vehicles. When you play a level the people look like you.

Once upon there was there was a small town called old town. It got its name because it was so old.
Well there was a girl named Sally. She was very, very, very shy. Although she loved the snow. When there was snow she was never shy, but when there wasn’t any snow, she was shy.
Any way it snowed one day, but there was something odd about the snow! It was made out of shredded Coconut! Sally was so surprised she ate the snow! Soon every kid was eating the snow. Then the grown-ups ate the snow! Sally sang this while eating the snow: “coconut, coconut snow!” Night fell upon old town and people fell asleep and the snow melted, but the melted coconut snow made coconut milk! That morning everyone got a bucket and scooped up as much as they could hold. Soon there was no more milk. Everyone got sad and they never had coconut again.

What I’m going to do on Christmas
December 18, 2007
What I’m going to do on Christmas is that I’m going to be with my family opening presents. Christmas is not about getting a lot of presents, it’s about having a great time with your family. My dad is going to come to my house to watch us open our presents. My mom and dad always give us extra presents for our behavior. If we were bad we didn’t get any extra presents. We always get presents at our Auntie Shawn’s house because every year we be good and that’s the only time of year when they're all nice to us all.
Last year my dad forgot the present he got for Zakeya so he had to go home get the present come back to our house give to Zakeya and it was a bag full of a lot of movies from Disney Channel. My sister was so excited because she had the movies she wanted even though she didn’t have it on her Christmas list my dad knew that she really wanted it for one of her Christmas presents. My mom and I always watch other people open their presents when we're done.
Every year I always get presents because I’m good every year. Maybe because I always get promotions and also get rewards. Last year I got a Dolphin award that means you’ve been good that week. I also got a Dolphin of the week award. “I said that I should have been Dolphin of The Year. ‘’My mom laughed when I said that.
I am definitely going to my Auntie Shawn’s house because she always gets presents for each and every one of us. My mom probably is going to go to Shania’s birthday party to give a card, money, and say happy birthday=http://!
