The Magic Christmas Tree

Paige Wilson
Partners in Education

Once upon a time there was a family who always got a fake Christmas tree. One day the kids, a girl named Emily and a boy named Jack, started begging their mother and father to get a real tree. Finally they gave in and went to the forest.

Father brought a saw and they looked for a tree. Minutes later mother said: “I give up, it’s impossible! The trees here are either too tall or too small.”

Just then they saw a perfect tree. After they got it set up at home the tree started shouting “decorate me!”

The tree was magic! It gave the kids each a wish. They both wished that the tree would catch Santa. The tree thought, no, but didn’t say it.

Three days later on Christmas Day, the children woke up very excited hoping to see Santa with the tree. But all they saw was the tree with a picture that seemed to be moving. Suddenly the tree started sobbing.

“I couldn’t, I just couldn’t, Santa is my friend! Instead, I got you this magic portrait.”

The Santa in the portrait waved. The kids were stunned but happy and they knew this was the best present ever.

The end.

The attack of the evil presents

Liam Helu
Henderson Elementary School

It was Christmas Eve night, Santa was giving out presents. Oh no! A potion fell out of Saint Nick’s pocket. It made evil presents!

The roar from the present woke up the Grinch! He woke up Max. It’s time to steal Christmas again.

Santa raced to the North Pole. He made Rudolf shoot lasers from his big red nose. All of the elves on the shelf whacked the presents with candy canes.

Then the Christmas tree star blasted the Grinch with kindness.

The end.

Christmas Fun

Texada Elementary School

Elves were throwing snowballs in delight, all the kids in the town came to join the fun and the elves called for Rudolph to come and join the fun.

Rudolph came to join the fun and he brought toys for everyone. They were so happy for Rudolph and they wanted to celebrate because Rudolph was so kind and they had fun for the rest of the day.

The very next day the kids woke up and saw the Christmas tree had all the presents they wished for.

Night before Christmas

Sophie Green
Kelly Creek Community School

It was the night before Christmas and all the boys and girls were excited. They were decorating their trees. Christmas is going to be fun. We are going to get a lot of presents.

It is time to go to bed. I’m tired.

“I can’t go to bed. I’m so excited!” Brook said.

Brook got a doll. Tracy got a book. 18 hours later, it is Christmas. Brook woke up and went downstairs and she had one present. Tracey went downstairs and had no presents, she had coal! She was upset.

“Don’t be sad, maybe you will get a present from your mom,” said Tracy.

She did. She got a book.

The end.
