Nicole Pennocj Grade 4/5 class at Mile 108 Elementary School got into the Christmas spirit this year by writing Christmas stories. These stories are a mix of truth and fiction. Merry Christmas!

The Christmas Before the Other

by Archer Hermiston (Grade 5)

One one cold Christmas Eve, I lay in bed unable to fall asleep knowing that when I woke up there would be presents under my tree. Suddenly, I heard rustling downstairs. But something I didn’t know, is that there would be two Holly Jolly Spirits that night.

I rushed to the bottom of the stairs and peeked into the kitchen and saw a Peppermint Ringmaster looking down at the mess he had made. Then he looked back at me and said “AH HA!” Then he grabbed my arm and took me to my old house back in Burnaby. That made me very dizzy.

“This is what your first Christmas looked like!” He said. I watched as I took teddy from my sister and watched my dad slip on the icy sidewalk.

“Had enough?” He asked.

“Yes,” I replied.

“Ok!” He said.

Then he took me to my present house and showed me last Christmas. I tore open the presents. “The Iron Man helmet!” I said as I opened the next one and the next. Then I played outside. “Moving on!” The ringmaster said. “Now, the future!”

I saw myself with my wife and kids. My kids smiling and playing with their new toys while me and my wife drank hot cocoa.

Then I woke up. I rushed down the stairs with my sister and ripped open our presents. Then I noticed there was a note.

“The past, present and future all matter. All affect who we become.”

A Cold Winter Morning by Aspen (Grade 4)

One beautiful winter morning I woke up to a cold breeze rushing up my spine. Then my whole family gathered at the stairs and we ran up them to see what was at the tree.

Me and my sister were so full from eating snowman pancakes. Then we rushed to open presents. My sister was about to open a present so I said we had to open our stockings. There was a floating owl and it suddenly disappeared out of nowhere and other stuff like that.

Then it was really dark outside so we drove to Poppi and Omas to eat dinner and open more presents. We rode on a sleigh and then I turned into a frog and floated back home while snow was on my face.

When I came home I wished that I could turn back into a human and the next day I didn’t turn back.

Christmas Traditions by Ava (Grade 5)

Once upon a time, there was a family of five. Me, my sister, my Dad, my mom and good old Grandma. We have Christmas differently every year. This is how last year’s Christmas Eve went.

First, I woke up very excited. My sister Chloe woke up Mom. My dad was at work so we couldn’t wake him up. Guess what? My mom said five more minutes like I could justify 30 seconds but five minutes? Like, no, just no, no, no!

The moral of the story was we played in the snow for the rest of the day. Anyway, this is how we do Christmas Eve now so let’s get into this.

We start the day with milk and cookies like Santa, then we play in the snow, come in for hot chocolate and watch movies. Later make Santa his cookies and then it’s time for bed.

Now how do I think in the future Christmas Eve will go? I do not think I will have kids, I mean come on people! I’m 10 and still eating cookies for breakfast! Basically, it will be a mix of the past and now!

My Christmas by Beau Crompton (Grade 5)

One Christmas I woke up my family and we had breakfast. We had pancakes with syrup, peanut butter and jam. After that, we sat on this couch and then we opened our presents.

The presents were big, medium and small. I got a PS4, a dump truck RC and a colour kit. The next day we went to my Yaya and Grandpa’s house.

Santa gave me a crayon melter and an R.C. My Dad got some tools and a coat. My Dad and I went outside to build a snowman. It was lots of fun and then we had a snowball fighter. After that my Mom made us hot chocolate while my Yaya made dinner.

My December by Bentley Lipsett (Grade 4)

We used to have a real Christmas tree and we would take an entire day to find the perfect tree. My Dad would also cut down two smaller trees for my brother, Jackson, and me for our rooms. Now, on the first day of December, my family and I open our Christmas Tree advent calendar and we get hot cocoa, chocolate or some other sweet.

Then we decorate our fake Christmas tree and I put on a Christmas sweater and Santa hat.

On Christmas Eve we burn our Christmas wish list so Santa can read the smoke. Also, we leave out gingerbread cookies, carrots for the reindeer and eggnog. On Dec. 26, we visit our grandparents.

Afterward, we go outside and sled or have a large-scale snow fight. Then we come inside and have a feast of turkey and drink hot cocoa while eating gingerbread.

In the future, I might not be able to go to my grandparents’ house anymore or not be able to find glass ornaments. It would make me sad to find any more glass ornaments because it’s a tradition to have glass ornaments on the Christmas tree.

Merry Christmas by Landyn McCallum

(Grade 5)

For Christmas me and my sisters always wake up and rush to the living room but we had to wait for my Mom and Dad. But that was in the past.

Now we do the same things but Mom and Dad wake up earlier so we don’t have to wait so long.

The future should like this. I will have one kid, his name will be Jeffrey. He will wake me up at 7 a.m. in the morning. He will be like “Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey! Wake up! It’s Christmas!”

I’ll be like “What do you want?”

He’ll be like “It’s Christmas!”

Hopefully, that will be my future.

Frank’s Christmas by Emma Rusaw (Grade 4)

I am a penguin. I live in a snowbank.

When I was a child me and my parents would go fishing. This Christmas me and my girlfriend are going to surprise her family with a Christmas Dinner!

In the future, I hope one day we have chicks so then we can have our very own Christmas with our little family. Merry Christmas! The End!

Christmas Eve by Nadiya Squires (Grade 4)

Once on Christmas Eve I was sitting next to the flaming fire, thinking about Christmas Day and what toys I would get. Then my mom said “Nadiya what do you want for Christmas?”

I said I want a warm blanket for Christmas. Then my mom said “What about all the toys you could get?”

I said “Yes Mom, I want a warm blanket!”

My mom said “Ok make a list.” I hopped and made a list. The top thing on my list was the blanket, then I gave it to her. My family and I decorated the tree then we put out some cookies, milk and carrots out for Santa.

Then I put on my cozy PJs and hopped into my cozy bed and waited for Santa. I passed out and when I woke up my stocking wall filled up with favourite toys and candy. I played with all my toys and showed my mom what I got. Then we all went down stairs.

The big shiny tree was filled with presents all wrapped up in green, white and red stripes. I got so many toys and my sister got so much makeup. My other sister got so much clothes and my other sister got so much shincare. My mom got some oils. My dad got 52 pairs of socks.

Then we were all done opening presents and my Dad made us breakfast. He made eggs, ham and toast in a hole. My favourite moment was after breakfast when me and my sisters played with all of our new stuff. My Mom tried all of her new oils and my Dad tried on his 52 pairs of socks while sister tried on her new clothes. My other sister tried out all of her skincare.

Then we watched our favourite movie to watch on Christmas Day. After we had some dunner. Then we all got ready for bed. I got into my cozy PJs and went to sleep. The End. Merry Christmas!

Santa’s Workshop by Olivia Vinje (Grade 4)

I was so excited when I first came to work for Santa. We were making toys out of wood. I used pine. My job was making ducks. I used red, green and yellow paint. They looked so good after I was done.

Now we are using a bunch of stuff like metal, wood and plastic. My job is making R.C. cars for kids. The R.C. cars are so fast! I feel the wind against my face.

In the future, I think I will only be using metal to make you robots for kids to play with robots. They are small and they can talk to the kids so they have a buddy. When they are lonely I am lonely when I work by myself but I work by myself all the time.

Last Christmas by Parker MacKay (Grade 5)

In the morning of last Christmas I woke up. I saw presents under the tree that we decorated last night. An hour later my family woke up then we ate breakfast and right after we opened our gifts.

My baby brother got a penguin. Me and Nixon got a TV, my mom got a coffee mug and my dad got a chocolate orange. Three hours later we ate eggs for lunch. After me and Nixon were watching our brand new T.V. for five hours. Later me and my family were about to eat dinner of sausage, bacon and pancakes. It was really good.

After dinner me and Nixon were playing video games. After a while, I had to go to bed.

Christmas by TJ McFarlen

My Christmas in the past has I wake up and then if my parents are still sleeping I wake them up and they go have their coffee. After we open our presents we go to my aunt and uncle’s house. When we are there they also give me, my brother and my sister more presents.

Then in the future, when I have kids, we would probably do the same thing and bake delicious chocolate cookies with my brother and sister. We also do lots of gingerbread houses so I’m hoping to do that in the future with my brother, sister, mom and my dad.
