Christmas Octopus
Mason Fuglewicz, Grade one, Texada Elementary School
Once there was an octopus. He had been nice, and he met Santa. Actually, he was Santa. He was known as Santa Octy.
He found a little kid and he wanted to give the little kid a dolly that opens and shuts its eyes. This little boy was Tyler.
On Christmas Day Tyler woke up from his bed and went to look if he got the doll and he did. There was a note on it from Santa Octy.
Then Tyler read, "Dear Tyler. I love you so much. Thanks for asking."
Tyler went down to the ocean at Van Anda and said, “I'll give you a gift, too, Santa Octy. Here's some seashells."
Tyler had a happy day.

The Christmas Holiday
Julianne Bretzlaff, Grade one, Westview Elementary School
Once upon a time a girl named Isla was spending time with her family for Christmas. Santa was definitely coming because she was a good girl.
When Santa came Isla was awake and she heard Santa. She went downstairs and caught Santa.
"You are on my naughty list," he said.
Isla said, "Santa, I was on your good list all year and now I'm not. It's not fair."
Santa said, "yes it is" and Isla said "no it's not."
Santa said, "well then, I'm going to skip your house."
Then Isla gave Santa cookies and carrots for the reindeer but he left anyways. Isla yelled "Santa, come back."
Santa came back and told Isla to go to sleep.
"No," said Isla. Santa said, "yes, you have to go to bed."
Isla said, "all right" and went to bed. Isla's parents heard her and woke up and asked why she was out of bed.
"Go to bed," her mom said, so Isla went to bed. In the morning she woke up and nothing was there except for the cookies and carrots she had left for Santa.
"Oh no," said Isla, "I was too mean to Santa, I should have listened."
The next year she tried to do her best to help. She did her mother's chores, her father's chores, her dog's chores and her own chores. Isla was getting presents for sure this year.
"I hope I get presents," she said. "I can't wait for Santa to come. This time I'm going to bed. Ready, set, sleep."
Santa came and made a loud crunchy sound when he stepped in. Isla did nothing but sleep. Santa left presents and filled her stocking. When Isla woke up it was Christmas morning.

Then Santa decided to make George a rocket blaster engine, so he didn't have to pull the handle on its own anymore. This made George happy.
