Van Allsburg evokes such a vivid visual world through is text and visuals. He uses great metaphors and similes such as “the train is wrapped…

You said that Orchard is the most beautiful in December when the dozens of fairy lights line the streets, illuminating our way. We could see gigantic Christmas trees and play in the fake snow at Tanglin Mall. If we would just pause and take a look, it would seem as if the lights are guiding the many lost souls home; that is the magic of Christmas. I went on a hot Friday afternoon in August. The heat was unbearable. My hair stuck to my face and neck, and I could feel the sweat trickling down my…

It might be Tuesday, but it’s Halloween! Expect those pesky, candy loving kids to be at your front door, pushing the doorbell and demanding sweet treats during prime time. Thankfully, with all of our technology in today’s world, we can put the TV on pause and give candy to the young guests. Then just as fast as we paused the show, we can put it on once again.

Together with his reindeers he flew around the world handing out every present in his big brown christmas sack.

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…

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…
