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.
