‘All I want for Christmas is a puppy, flute and piano’
DEAR SAINT NICK,
All I want for Christmas is a
puppy, flute and piano. Please,
please. I have a story for you.
The Christmas Mouse
It was the evening of Christmas
and there was a hole in Santa’s bag.
Pinky the mouse fell out and
landed in a strange place called
Kitchener. He was in K-Mart. It
was big. He got lost. Then Santa
wondered where Pinky was. So he
sent most of his hard working elves
to go find him. One elf went in K-
Mart and found him over by the
toys. Then, he went over to get him
and all of the elves were already
there. All of the elves cheered. So
did Santa.

DEAR SANTA,
I have a story for you.
The Hungry Mice
Once upon a time, there were
five mice. Their names were Adam,
Chris J., Alyssa, Cory and Lauren.
There was a janitor and her name
was Abi. One time the five mice
were looking for food at the school.
They couldn't find any food. They
looked everywhere. They still
couldn't find any food. It was
Christmas Eve. Santa came.
The mice said "Can we have
something to eat?"
Santa said "Yes".
And they lived happily ever after.

DEAR SANTA,
I made a story for you. I hope
you like it. The story is about a
Christmas Mouse.
The Christmas Mouse
It was a lovely winter day. Little
Mouse was decorating the
Christmas tree. They decorated
nicely. It was Christmas night and
everyone was sound asleep. It was
very silent because it was
Christmas night. It was a lovely
day in December on Christmas day
because Santa Claus and Mrs.
Claus and Princess and the elves
and Jingle Bells, the head elf, are
opening their gifts. Little Mouse
opened his gift. It was a whole
bunch of cheese! It was a happy
Christmas day.

DEAR SANTA,
I hope you like this story I wrote:
Jinglebells and the
Gingerbread House
This year Ms Frizzle was going
to have a big gift from her class.
All the kids in her class were busy
making a gingerbread house with
their chemistry teacher. Denise was
the smart one of the class. It was
her idea to make the gingerbread
house.
Their teacher, Mr. Bell, said "It's
time to go out and play. Come back
after recess."
While they were out, their lab
mouse, Jinglebells, decided to try
the gingerbread house. It was so
good, he ate the whole thing!
When the kids saw what
happened, they were mad at him.
They told Mr. Bell and he had an
idea. He said, "Why don't you
make a new gingerbread house?"
So, Jinglebells did help. Lauren
got jellybeans and put them on.
Christopher got licorice and put it
on. Adam got gumdrops and put
them on. Marty got icing and put it
on. Alyssa got chocolate chips and
put them on. Jinglebells found
sprinkles and sprinkled them on
and Denise and Mr. Bell baked the
Christmas goodies. That Christmas,
Ms Frizzle, Jinglebells and the
whole class had a Merry Christmas.

Missy and Mike went to bed, Santa
I came to Amanda's and Mike's
house. Santa brought a bear for
Amanda and for Mike two model
cars.
In the morning, Amanda and
Mike opened the presents. Mark
and Missy watched Mike and
Amanda. Then Mousy ate Bear and
he died. Then, Missy and Mark
went home. Missy made a bear for
Amanda and Amanda loved bear.

DEAR SANTA,
I hope you like my story.
The Mouse Who Ate Too Much
Once upon a time, there was a
mouse called Christmas. He lived
in a house with his brother and
sister. Christmas, the mouse,
smelled the cookies that were
baking. So, he got out of his hole
and ate all the cookies. Christmas
heard footsteps and ran to his hole
but he couldn't fit because he was
too fat. So, they invited him for
Christmas dinner.

Brussels Public School
Christmas Time
One wintery day, Santa Claus
came to town to come to Brussels
School to see all the children. Two
elves came with Santa Claus
because they wanted to see them
too. Santa Claus gave all the
children a gift because they were
all good. But Les, the mouse, heard
Santa Claus. He was sad when he
did not get a gift so he got in the
sack and Les the mouse did not get
out until Santa Claus left to go to
the North Pole. Santa let Les live
there. Then they lived happily ever
after.

my house with my friends because
today was my birthday. I got 4 CDs
and a mouse.
The next day the mouse got
away. We didn't know where he
went. The mouse got outside. We
didn't know the dog found the
mouse. Then the cat and him they
became friends.
A few days later, it was
Christmas, so they put a hat on the
mouse and wrapped up the mouse
and put a tag on it that said: To
Brad, From Santa.
That night, Santa came to the
house. He left presents and filled
the stockings.
