what I had last year at
Ghristmas.
Atragedy of all
tragerli Ps- .T.a_be -sick, ,at
hristmas is the worst
thing that can happen.
Any kind of sickness. is
bad.
I couldn't eat andy
because roy throat
too sore. I couldn't g
outside to enjoy the snow.
Every kid knows that
having to stay. inside is
very bad.
Have you ever tried
eating Christmas dinner
when your throat is sore?
Let me tell you, its no
fun!
The. food tastes like
sand and gets stuck in
your throat. My throat is
sore now, so Christmas
doesn't look so good.
Again!
Oh well, I better not
complain at least l'm not
in the hospital. Suddenly 1
feel- sick all over. Merry

The best December twenty-fourth
The day was sunny, and
the roads were bare. I
was sure this would be
the best December
twenty-fourth ever.
As soon as we arrived
in London we went
straight to Grandma and
Grandpa's house. Ever
since I could remember
we always went to
London for Christmas
Eve.
The house was
beautiful that night, with
the tree decorated per-
fect. There were two long
tables in the livingroom
covered with food. The
supper was superb. But
we had to wait until the
dishes were washed to
open the presents.
Finally the dishes were
washed and put away.
The 'time to open the
presents had arrived. I
was right it was the best
December twenty-fourth
ever.

About a half an hour
later he was sleeping.
The next morning when I
came down stairs he was
laughing because there
was cookie crums from
the cookies he had left
Santa last night and some
fluffy hair was there.
After that he had to clean
up the mess and he didn't
think it was so funnyt
then!

One Christmas my
friend had made a stupid
plan for Christmas
morning. He said that if
we could get a Santa
Claus suit and hire
someone to come down
the chimney it would'be a
perfect idea. But he
didn't know how to get a
fat person down -the
chimney. I said it was a
stupid idea.
That night I 'was
thinking about it and the
next morning I said if
were going to hire
someone he better be fat.
hey how about that fat kid
down the street. no if you
put him in a chimney at
christmas it would be
raining bricks. oh yeh
how do you know huh. I
know by looking at him
that chubby treature.
What we need is a real
Santa Claus And I sup-
pose your going to walk to
the north pole. and ask
him if he can swoop down
and say merry christmas
and stay for tea and
cookies. Mabye. Well its a
stupid and lousy idea.
- Anyhow \\how are we
going to get to the north
pole, tomrnorows
christmas. fly a stocking
what did you say. skip it.
You want me to nock that
brain full of gasoline
before it explodes. That
christmas morning I
heard a bang. I ran down
stairs then I started to
laugh it was my friend
covered in soot what a
christrnas joke.
