December’s Excitement

By: Tiffany Pounds

Once upon a time in the

month of December, there

were two little kids named

Carissa and Ricky. They

were brother and sister.

Carissa lived with her

Grandmother and Ricky

lived with their Mother.

When they were around each other, Ricky and

Carissa always played in the house and sometimes

outside. Ricky would never have anyone to

play with unless Carissa came over.

One afternoon, Ricky

and Carissa decided to

go outside and play

together. Before they

went outside, they had

to put their hat, gloves,

and coat on so they

would stay warm.

They were all bundled

up and went outside to

play. When they went

outside Carissa said,

“Ricky it’s starting to

snow.” They were so

happy they stayed

outside and played all day.

When they came in

after taking showers,

they sat in the living

room drinking hot

cocoa. They loved to

watch Christmas

movies too.

Later on that night before they went to

sleep, they looked out

the windows to see that

it was snowing even harder. They were so excited!

The next morning when

Carissa and Ricky woke

up they jumped up out of

bed and ran to the

windows. They looked out

and saw a lot more snow.

They went downstairs,

ate breakfast, got ready

to go back outside and

play for awhile.

The next morning, after eating breakfast, they bundled up to play

outside. It was a big night for them. It was Christmas Eve. They all gathered in the kitchen with

their mother, Linda, to bake special cookies for Santa. It was time to get baths and get ready for bed for tomorrow because it was the biggest day of the year. Not only was it Christmas, but

baby Jesus' birthday. They sprinkled the reindeer food in the yard and placed the cookies on the table for Santa.

They slept in the living room

waiting for Santa to come. In

the middle of the night, they

both woke up and got to see

Santa. He gave them both a

gift to open, told them to be

very quiet and not to tell

anyone they saw him. He

told them to go back to

sleep, so they did.

The next morning the kids woke up and rushed to their mother’s

bedroom. “Hurry, Hurry!” they said. “Santa was here!” They opened all their gifts and also told their mom how Santa was in

the house. The kids were so happy that they ran around and told

everyone how they had a secret. They said they couldn’t tell anyone

and everyone wondered what it was. Later that day, the kids went outside and played with all their toys. It was the best Christmas ever.
