After that we open presents and we hang out for a while, have fun with our toys and play outside for a little bit. Then we come back in. If there is a parade on tv we watch that for a little bit. Then we go home and go to sleep.

Every Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, my family and I go to my grandmas. When everyone gets there, we eat and then we go and play for a long time. Then we open presents and hang out. Then we go home and when we wake up we sort the presents. When my parents get in from the barn, we start to open all of the presents. First we open the stocking and then the bigger presents. We start with the girls and then the boys. We play with some of the presents and then we talk and eat. We eat ham and potatoes. We bake cookies.

By:Khloe Mr. Wagner, 4th Grade My favorite Christmas tradition is every Christmas Eve my whole family goes to my Nanny and papa Dean’s house and eat lots of food like ham,green bean casserole and mashed potatoes. We do secret Santa so we open those presents from our cousins then we all leave their house and go back to our houses and go to bed.

James Mahr One day my Daddy told me a story about him getting in trouble. He told me”One Christmas I was very naughty and my family did a prank. They put rotten veggies for gifts in front. The rst one I opened was a rotten veggie. The second one was also a rotten veggie. I began to cry and they all laughed.” I asked” Is that all you got,” He answered” I got something at least.” Now I always wonder if he will do that to me. Or if Santa will do that if I am naugty. Have a Merry Christmas!

The door creaked but I didn’t hear anything upstairs then I woke him up and he said, “What” pretty loud and I told him to follow me. He asked, “Where?” I said upstairs. We went upstairs but the stairs creaked. We didn’t hear a door upstairs so we were good. We went to our stockings there was nothing in them but then… We heard something on the roof!

We hid behind the island. We heard something in the chimney It was Santa! We were silent. We waited until Santa was gone. Back by our stockings Taking the stuff out in order one by one. We had to be as quiet as we could because the wrappers were loud! We put items back in one by one. We heard a door and ran into our bedrooms. We went to bed. We woke up I yelled, “Christmas!” Bolted up the stairs and took everything out of my stocking.

Christmas lights shining through the house.

The Christmas candle that smelled like cinnamon was lit on the table.

The rewood was crackling. I grabbed the brown box that was as big as a lunch box.

I started unrolling the crisp blue snowake wrapping paper. I started measuring the length of the box so I can get the right amount of wrapping paper.

I found a noisy roll of tape. I started tearing pieces off. I started making perfect folds. I was admiring my work of art. I grabbed the teal ribbon and started tying it around my box.

To top it all off, I made a aw less bow.

My big green tree with a lot of colorful lights and sparkling ornaments that’s all different sizes.

I place my masterpiece under the tree, awaiting Christmas day until my mom can open it.

When I was done I sat down and enjoyed Christmas sugar cookies that tasted like candy canes And drank some cinnamon hot cocoa.
