My favourite Christmas memory
Lochlan Fitzgibbon
Westview Elementary School
I wake up at 6 am and I sneak upstairs and peek at my stockings and my presents then I go back downstairs and go to sleep. My mom hides a pickle in the tree. On Christmas morning whoever finds the pickle in the tree first gets to open the first present. I love going to my nana’s house, we have a party every Christmas. It’s so fun, we have a cake and candy and stuffing and ice cream. My elf stays for Christmas and we get him a onesie and he always gets us presents. I love opening my stocking first because you don’t know what you get in them. It’s so so so so so fun. Merry Christmas!

My Christmas memory
Lily Dunbar
Westview Elementary School
It was a dark night and I was down by the seawall looking at the Christmas truck that drives around town. I almost forgot to tell you that it was covered in lights! After that I had some hot chocolate then we went home. My friends came over, wait! I forgot to tell you it was Christmas Eve. Any hoo, suddenly I heard a knock on the door and it was carolers. Deck the halls with bells of holly, follow lala lala lala lala.

One snowy afternoon
Rylee B. Sheldon
Henderson Elementary School
One snowy afternoon in a worm cottage on the first of December Rylee and her mother were making an advent calendar. Rylee skipped over to the recycling and picked up a small box and brought it to the craft table. She cut out some paper lights and got into the paint. Then the paint went, SPLAT! Rylee yelled, “mommy! I got paint all over myself. Help me! Just help Mommy!
Rylee’s mother grabbed Rylee by the ear and Rylee yelled, “Yeouwch!” Rylee’s mother did not even take her clothes off. She threw Rylee in the washer. After awhile Rylee’s mother took her out of the washer. Rylee did not even have a splatter of paint on her.
Rylee ran up the stairs and got to the craft table and got into the paint again.
Before Rylee even opened the cap, splat, went the paint.
Rylee yelled “Mommy!, I got paint all over me. Help me, help mommy!.”
Rylee’s mother grabbed her by the ear and tossed her in the washer. After a while Rylee’s mother went back to the washer and Rylee hopped out of the washer.
Rylee said “Let’s go buy an advent calendar, ok?”
“Ok,” said Rylee’s mother.
