Santa on his way home As the 23th of december 2015 became 24th, santa’s old clock rang as he rose from his warm bed prepared for days of hard work. Together with his reindeers he flew around the world handing out every present in his big brown christmas sack. Eventually there was only one present left and it was addressed to the famous scientist Berry who was studying penguins on the south pole. Santa had never been that far south before but decided that it wasn't going to stop him. When he…

Every year on Christmas Eve the whole family woke up at 9 in the morning. We would all get ready for a family Christmas in DeWitt, Iowa at my aunt’s and uncle’s. Christmas was the only time the whole family got together. My family never had any family reunions or family Thanksgivings. So going to Christmas in Dewitt would let me see all my family members that rarely came by. The day started out with my mother in the kitchen. Every year my mother made the best vegetable pizza that she took…

with somebody for a day, I’d switch places with Santa Claus on Christmas day. Why, you ask? The answer is simple. To ruin Christmas for all the little girls and boys. As Santa Claus, I would fill their presents with their past pet animal’s rotting corpses. They would smell the stench of rotting flesh, unable to figure what it’s coming from, but when it’s time to open presents they’ll let out a blood curdling scream. Oh, how I’ll laugh my jolly Santa Claus laugh, my belly bouncing up and down.…

Christmas, one of the most wonderful words in December has given so many children and adults happiness with all the gifts and cookies. Now let us take a look at some different kinds of Christmas in Norway and China. In Norway, the traditional Christmas activities are not quite different with those in other countries in Europe. Every year, Norwegians decorate Christmas trees with small paper baskets called 'Julekurver'. “A traditional Norwegian Christmas Tree decoration are small paper…

The Live Production I saw was Hurry Up Santa: The Musical at the Empty Space. Can you believe that Santa and his elves overslept on Christmas Day? Well, in this play, the kids are disappointed that Santa is late and Christmas may never come all because of Santa and his elves were lazy and overslept. My favorite character in this play was Boots. I liked him because his role was very humorous. He panics a lot and does it in a very funny way. I like to watch funny things so his acting really…

Halloween!! Introduction (attention grabber, a basic introduction to topic, thesis statement) Halloween has a very unique history going back thousands of years. Back then there was a group called the Celts. The Celts used Halloween as the day to remember the end of the fall and the beginning of winter, which evolved from the old Celtic holiday of Samhain. Where they would wear costumes to scare off roaming ghosts and would also light bonfires. Then they took these traditions to America in…

I went to see ‘Elf the Musical Jr.’ on Thursday, December 1, 2016. The tickets were $15 For decent seats and in my opinion, the show plus the seats that we had were not at all worth the $15, that we spent. This musical is not a show that I would recommend to anyone, at anytime. It was that bad. But, to help you understand in my own opinion as to why ‘Elf the Musical Jr.’ was so bad, let me give you some feedback and get into a little more detail in the next few paragraphs. The first reason as…

April 15, 2001, a historical day. Historical events happen everyday some are extremely significant and everyone is aware of them, and some go by unnoticed by most. On April 15, 2001 very historic events took place, in addition to my birth. This is the most important day in history because the resurrection of Jesus occurred, tax day struggles intensified, and Fred Lebow was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Easter, the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. A wonderful day every year but…

"If Candlemas Day be bright and clear, there'll be two winters in the year.” according to an old British saying. So what does this have to do with believing in good ol’ Phil’s prediction? Well, for the same reason why people still believe in Santa Claus, just choosing to believe without any doubt just brings animation to the holiday! It’s just fun to believe in these so called “myths” just because it shines a sort of naïve innocence into our dim grown-up lives, let’s face it when we age we lose…

It was early Christmas morning in Los Angeles, California. I woke up feeling like many kids felt when they woke up that morning, with excitement. I put on my clothes and rushed down stairs to find only one present under the tree. I looked at the name tag for who it was for, it was for me. I picked it up and shook it, I couldn’t hear anything. I ripped it open to find a piece of paper. The paper said ‘You have been chosen out of a special group to go undercover and fight crime over the world’. I…
