Bailey the Gingerbread Dog
Kiera HIldebrand, grade five, Assumption School
Bailey the gingerbread dog was a cute doggy that loved going on walks and had fun playing. She was always nice and caring. But one day her owner was making gingerbread. Little did she know that the gingerbread was magical.
When she went to her room a few minutes later, Bailey was looking for the box. Bailey was tempted to try gingerbread. She found the gingerbread box and grabbed a nice, crispy, warm gingerbread man and ate it. The next moment Bailey felt queasy, so she decided to sleep it off.
The next day she looked at herself and was surprised. She was covered in crispy gingerbread, creamy icing and colorful sprinkles. She discovered she grew whiskers made out of cotton candy!
She was scared and ran to her dog bed hoping her owner wouldn't find out. She put a pillow over herself and looked away when she came near. But then she went to pet Bailey. And she was surprised that she saw her dog made out of gingerbread.
She said, "Mom!"
Mom said, "What?"
She said, "Bailey is a gingerbread dog. What are we supposed to do?"
Mom said "I don't know! Let's take her to the vet.”
When they went to the vet, Mom said, "My dog turned into a gingerbread dog.
The vet said, "All you have to do is give her medicine.”
So we gave her medicine. Then she slowly turned back into a normal dog.
The end.

The Night Before Christmas
Caleb Gordon, grade five, Edgehill Elementary School
There was a big man named Santa who loved Christmas. Unfortunately, there was a mix-up between Santa and the Easter Bunny. Santa had to control Easter, and the Easter Bunny had to control Christmas, so Santa turned into a rabbit and the Easter Bunny turned into Santa.
So, Santa lived in a little nest and the Easter Bunny lived in the north pole with all those little elves. On Christmas Eve there was a problem. The Easter Bunny didn't have the same magic as Santa to make the reindeers fly.
The Easter Bunny didn't know what to do until the elves said that they would try to fly the sleigh. Later that night it was time to fly but Santa on the other hand wasn't doing as good trying to live in a little nest because he was used to something nice and big. The worst was that all he could do was eat carrots and he was used to eating cookies and drinking milk all day and night, as well, the Easter Bunny wasn't used to the cold of the North Pole and Santa wasn't used to being warm.
The Easter Bunny thought the little elves were just little dogs because of what they looked like in the Easter Bunny's vision. He only had Santa's leftover crumbs for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and all he could drink was Santa's leftover milk.
When the Easter Bunny stopped at his old house he and Santa switched places and Christmas was saved!

John's Fun Christmas
Eli Kerr, grade five, Assumption School
John was really excited about Christmas because he loved the presents that he gets. John had a lot of family coming to his house for dinner and they were having his favourite meal: chicken and mashed potatoes and stuffing. He was excited to have his family over for dinner because he loved playing with his cousins.
On Christmas Eve, John and his cousins had a lot of fun hanging out. He ate dinner with his family but then it started to get late so his family started to leave. John was sad that everyone had to leave but in the morning Santa would have left presents. So John went to bed.
In the middle of the night, Santa got stuck in his chimney. So, when John woke up in the morning all the presents were there but he heard grunting in his chimney. John thought it was his dad in bed just waking up so he thought nothing of it until he heard, "Ho Ho Ho!
When he heard that he ran for his life, it scared him so bad! After five minutes he got the courage to go back out there. When he saw Santa he said in a puzzled voice "Santa?'
Then Santa said, "I need help. Get me out!”
So John and his dad got some tools and managed to pry Santa loose. Santa was so happy he gave them an extra present! It was an awesome Christmas.

The Missing Elf
Andreus Mendoza, grade five, Henderson Elementary School
Once in the North Pole Santa was looking for his elf. The snow was so thick it covered all the tracks.
"An elf has been missing for two days now, what will we do?" Santa cried.
All of the elves were worried. The elf was not found.
"He has not been seen for days," another elf yelled.
"I don't know, but we must solve this problem," Santa said. “Hurry, my elves."
This elf went missing after he went out to get wood for Santa's toys and had been missing since.
"Christmas must be cancelled this year," screamed an elf who had just come out of his house.
"We just sent out a search party," Santa said.
The search party was making their way through a snowstorm. When they saw a small cabin, other people were inside trying to take the elf's magic. The elves made a plan to save their friend in the cabin. They made big snowballs and sharp ice blocks.
"We will wreck the cabin and save our friend,” the boss elf said.
"We will make them pay," another elf cried.
There were sixty elves in the search party. They started the attack. First they dropped the ice blocks and broke a hole in the wall and suddenly humans came out. The humans were holding iron spikes.
"Drop the snowballs," an elf said.
"We will win at this rate," said an elf.
Half the humans were down from the first attack. They got their friend. A little bit later they were going back to Santa.
“We're almost there," an elf said.
"Yay" another elf said.
Soon they made it to Santa's base.
"Your back," said Santa. "Good job! Have the people been stopped?”
"Yes, sir," said an elf. “Now that the elf has been found we can do Christmas.”
"Yay," all the elves cheered.
The end.
