Spookley the Square Pumpkin is a musical about accepting each other’s differences. On Halloween one day on Holiday Hill Farm, Jack the scarecrow finds a pumpkin in the patch- only unlike the other pumpkins- Spookley is square. Much to the dislike of the others, the Toms, BoBo, and the Honeydoos, Spookley is bullied for being square. It’s only until Spookley saves the day with support from his new best friend spiders- Edgar, Allan, and Poe that the pumpkins realize being different is great after…

It was 7:50. I had mopped myself out the front door. I started taking the boxes around the house. I could only get half of them at a time. Got to the side walk, the white lights were shining very bright and gleaming on my freshly cleaned pearl white Lincoln Continental sitting on the street. I swear I heard that car hum as I went by. I said don’t worry I got you a free oil change for Christmas. On my second trip, around, I stopped and picked out a real, nice medium red bow and attached it to the…

LOVE SACRIFICES, basically what the whole story is about love between Della and Jim and to see how far will they go for each other and neither of them has enough money for a Christmas present, will Della and Jim get enough money for a Christmas present or will they enjoy Christmas with no presents? Christmas eve with only a short amount of time left until Christmas plus there poor so it’s about to be hard to find a least a good/decent Christmas present for each other which brings me to a…

The name Kris Kringle and Santa Claus are often interchanged during the Christmas season. Are they the same, is Kris Kringle the real Santa? Let’s take a trip back in time to answer not only this question but others like, how the reindeer fly? Why does Santa wear a red suit, and why does it look as we see it today? And, how can Santa carry a bag of hundreds of toys over his shoulder? Why does he live at the North Pole where it is always cold and dark for almost half the year, and how do they…

Traveling during the holidays can be hectic; and flying is no exception. WestJet airlines decided to do something different in 2013 for their passengers. They wanted to show their guest that they truly value them and go above and beyond customer service and give their customers a “Christmas Miracle”. The video shows passengers talking to Santa on at a kiosk station telling them what they wanted for Christmas. Requests ranged from a big screen TV to socks and underwear. Once the passengers…

1. Carols by Candelight What would Christmas in Geelong be without good ol’ Dennis Walter leading us in carols down by Eastern Beach? Throw in an appearance by Humphrey Bear, some Geelong folks who have gone on to make it big, and a fire works show that wakes up the littlies, and you have a staple on the calendar. 2. Meter Elves A shout out has to go to the unsung heroes of the Christmas season. Meter Elves are not only distinct in their colourful attire, but they pop in change just before the…

famous. A children’s book that even has the most merchandise made based on the book. This story was one of my favorite children’s books growing up. It is about a mischievous and very disobedient young Peter Rabbit as he is chased around the garden of Mr. McGregor. This story teaches naughty children the consequences of misbehaving. Peter disregards his mother’s instructions and trouble soon follows. The illustrations in the book are beautiful and detailed. Rich and vibrant colors in the…

family tradition like many others have been carried out for generations and it is imperative that we keep it going. Another huge part of the Christmas spirit is giving. This is the favorite for many of the children because of the gifts from Santa Claus leaves under the tree. I remember when I was little I could not contain all of my excitement. I remember not being able to sleep on Christmas Eve because I was anticipating what Santa wound…

the time of Christmas approaches, the narrator is “troubled [him]self about the nature of Santa Claus and [he tries] to hang on to him any way that [he] can…For without him, as without the man’s ship, it seems [their] fragile lives would be so much more desperate” (301). As the quote proves, MacLeod establishes the turmoil and conflict as the narrator is hesitant about whether he should perceive Santa Claus as his only hope. The narrator seems idealistic as he believes Santa is what makes…
