The weird
Christmas tree
On November 28, 1891 a very long time ago it was almost
Christmas. Everyone was buying Christmas trees around this
time. There was a family named the Longings.
The Longings were very picky about their Christmas trees.
They always had the most finest tree in the town. They came
across this one tree that was $300.
They thought about it for about a week, and then finally
said, "Will take it!" They got it home and they set it up. The
tree was 7 ft. high and 6 ft. around.
The Longings were very happy with their tree and Harold,
the husband said, "Bob who sold it to us said it would last us
10 years." Mary the wife was so pleased that they didn't have
to buy another tree for 10 years.
Now it was December 15, 1891. Almost every person in the
whole town had seen their Christmas tree because it was so
beautiful. The Longings were so happy to see everybody
admiring their tree. Then another week went by with lots of
fun and excitement in the Longings household.
Now it was December 22, 1891 and the time was flying.
The Longings were so excited for Christmas, because they
had presents for a lot of people in the town. The night before
Christmas the Longings would drop the presents down the
people's chimneys that they had presents for.
Well, that night came, and they were so excited to hop from
roof to roof dropping presents in their houses. They had
hidden cameras on the presents to see their reactions in the
morning and see if they were happy.
Then next year came. Then they were doing the present
dropping and they saw their very own Christmas tree putting
presents in the houses chimneys! They waited for the tree at
home.
Then when the tree finally came home, the Longings
captured it with a rope. The tree said that he was Santa Claus!
In 1882, he was captured and brought to this mysterious
place, and turned into a tree.
So I didn't quit my job as Santa Claus. I kept on going to
houses dropping off presents. Then I got captured once again
by the guy who you bought me from. Then you placed me in
your lovely home for the past two years. But I was still
delivering presents. That is my story and stickin' to it!!
Now could you please do me a favour and change me back
to Old Saint Nick. The Longings were very happy to change
Mr. Tree back to Santa Claus.
So they began. It only took two hours and Saint Nick was
back to his jolly self. Once he saw that he was back in his old
rightful body, he called his reindeer with his whistle and away
he went with his sleigh to the north pole.

The night Rudolph broke his leg
Last night on Christmas Eve at my house when
Santa and all his reindeer were playing on the roof,
Rudolph broke his leg.
My sister Kylie woke up. She went downstairs
and she looked around. She heard something from
the roof so she put on her coat, hat and mitts.
She went outside and looked up. She didn't see
anything.
She moved back four steps. She saw Santa. She
backed up a little bit more. She saw Rudolph
laying down.
She yelled, "Santa Claus!" Santa looked down and
said, "Yes what do you want?"
"I want to know why Rudolph is laying down?"
"I'm not sure but I think he has a broken leg."
"Could I come up there and look?"

"Sure, I'll come down with my sleigh."
But as he is coming down, the door swung open.
Michael came out.
He saw Kylie and he saw Santa. He ran down to
where Kylie was standing. He asked her what was
going on? Kylie explained what was happening.
Santa said, "I have to go back to the North Pole
to get one of my elves to fix Rudolph's leg."
In about one hour Santa was back with two elves.
The elves hopped out with Santa. They got out a
first aid kit and fixed up Rudolph's leg.
Michael and Kylie went to sleep and Santa
delivered all of the presents before morning.
