Presents were everywhere around the tree. I went back to bed petting my dog and Christmas morning Naomi jumped on my bed and said wake up Zach! Wake up Santa has been here Zach! So when I realized Abby was not awake yet, I jumped on Abby's bed and said "wakeup!" And she was not very happy and said "I am awake". I said "I know. I was just checking to see if you were awake. Remember breakfast first then clean the living room then you can wake up Madelyn then you can open your presents." Some presents were from my step dad. This was the best Christmas ever.

My mom came into the room. She said it is 11 p.m. go to bed. So I went to my room but I could not go to sleep it was Christmas Eve but like always I fell asleep. I woke up and it was 7 a.m. and my mom said to go back to sleep but I just played in my room. At 8 a.m. I went to my mom and dad's room and they got up. So did William and Beth. So we all went to the living room. I just could not believe it! The Polly Pocket ship was mine, all mine. We opened our presents. William got dinky cars and Beth got the baby doll she wanted. We got dressed. Beth, William and I got some of our new toys and got in the car and went to Grandma and Grandpas. We got there and Zoe and Duncan, our cousins, were already there. It was so fun to play with them. Mom, dad, grandma and grandpa made breakfast for us. After breakfast we opened more presents. We kids .were playing with the new toys we a got. We play at my grandma and8*an� d as all day. That was my best Christmas because my cousins were there. Connor Irwin Grade 5/6 LCPS My family moved into our new house and we spent our Christmas with our family in Ottawa. That was really fun and we got a break from moving. I got some cool things there too and I got to go to a hockey game in Ottawa with my dad, Austin and my grandfather. Ottawa vs New York Islanders. Ottawa won that game 5 - 2. When we got home there was some presents like Guitar Hero and a cool board game. We didn't eget- very many presents but we got to see our family so it was the best -Christmas ever. Happy Hiidays! Tyler Murray Grade 5/6 LCPS It was Dec. 25 7:00 a.m. I woke up and went looking for my presents. Then, when my mom and dad woke up and opened presents, the last one had clothes and there was a puzzle. Cameron had the other half of it. When we put it together it said we're going to Disney World. Then we went to my grandma and grandpas and . had Christmas there: At my house we also had hockey cards. At both Christmases I got lots of .presents. I also had lots of fun playing in the snow with my aunt's dog Hershey by watching him catch snow balls. Then we went in and had supper and then talked. So that's my favourite Christmas ever!! Katie Murray Grade 5/6 LCPS My favourite Christmas memory is when Emma, Craig and I ran downstairs to find our stockings stuffed to the brim and presents under the tree for my mom, dad, Emma, Craig and myself. We were so excited that we ran back upstairs to wake up my mom and dad. We shook them until they finally were awake. After we finally got them downstairs, we ripped open our presents: I got a hockeybag, an mp3 player, a shirt and a couple of other things:" Emma, Craig and I all together got a Wii and a Wii game.. We had my grandma and grandpa Hoy, my grandma Murray and, my aunt Jill over for supper and to show them all the thingswe got for Christmas. After we had supper and everybody had left I watched some TV then went to bed and got ready for all the other Christmases yet to come.
