On Christmas Morning

On Christmas morning I woke up to the scent of pancakes and bacon. I slowly walked down the stairs half asleep. Then a remembered that it was Christmas morning, I sped down the stairs bubbling with excitement. I scarfed down my breakfast and ran towards our Christmas tree.

Brightly covered in Christmas lights and tinsel was our Christmas tree. Underneath of course was the presents wrapped brightly with gift wrap. I grabbed a beautifully wrapped gift in red and green gift wrap. The gift was covered in labels saying” DO NOT OPEN UNTIL CHRISTMAS” and ” SANTA’S  WATCHING  YOU!”

It was from my best friend I teared apart the wrapping paper and inside the box was a Rainbow Loom . I was very pleased with my gift. I then opened gifts from my other friends. I got a few gift cards. I got a few gift cards for Clair’s, Dairy Queen, Children’s Place. Along with them I got a few items from Bath and Bodyworks.

I was about to open my last gift when my dog Mocha barked. We turned around to see that there were Christmas decorations  tangled around her. She looked exactly like a Christmas tree, minus the coffee colored fur and the odd structure for a Christmas. we all laughed while on the other side Mocha stared like there were  cats and dogs falling from the sky.

My last gift was a doll, an Ever After High doll to be exact. Then I gave my gift to Mocha. She tore apart the wrapping paper. In the pile of clawed paper was a treats and an new toy and coat. it was a great day for us and the same goes for Mocha!

Christmas Eve

Retold by Ashley

It was the worst Christmas eve anyone could get . it was raining, it was snowing,it was hailing . I don’t know what was happening My dog Mocha was barking so loud it was giving me headache. i notices that she had stopped barking. she had to go out but i had to go out with her so she wouldn’t get scared and run away. I went to get her leash and  we went out into the open. I let her off leash but then she got struck by lightning. i went to help her but the next thing i knew everything went black. i woke up in my bed sat up my whole body was aching.i noticed that i couldn’t feel anything underneath me . i looked and was hovering in midair! “it must of been the lightning” i thought. i ran to Mocha she was also hovering.” it has to be from the lightning” i thought.i looked at my clock and it said 8:30 am that means it was Christmas morning! i ran down stairs and there were lots of presents.. i ran back upstairs and woke up my family. we went downstairs and and started opening presents. my dad came over with hes watch and said ” it’s not 8:30 yet it’s 1 am Cindy!” “Oops” i said but still the best Christmas ever!”

Story Starters #1

Far away and long ago in a land of wonder and magic… “We must find a new king, kind and courageous.” Said Azedor. ”Set out the pixies, we must find him!” It has been days, week, months and year but they have not found him, the soon to be king

It was 1973… a tiny voice whispered” Is he the one?” It was Mellowblossom, one of the pixies. “We’ll have to see.” It was the captain of the pixies, Scarlet and so the team of pixies followed him, seeing all the hurtful things he had done, the pixies moved on in search for another child.

A few more months had passed, it was becoming chaos in Azkaban without a king. Magic was fading away and creatures were leaving losing faith in the team of pixies searching for a new king. Azkaban was slowly fading away by the second.

One day the pixies came across a boy in the alleyway he was shivering in cold of the winter. “I think he may be the one.” Said Mellowblossom.” “Are you kidding? That homeless little boy is not fit to be king.” Replied Melody in a harsh voice. Scarlet said, “We shall watch him and his behavior.

All his kind actions like helping an elder over the road and feeding a starving cat the only food he had led to Scarlet declaring” He is the one!” The pixies flew down to him and told him the good news.” Me, as a King? I think you’ve made a mistake. I’m just a beggar on the streets.” “No, we are sure. You are the one.” “Of course I’ll go!”

On the way to Azkaban… “So, my king what is your name?” asked Mellowblossom “My name is Aurther” Replied the young boy. Once they arrived in the magical land of Azkaban, Azedor greeted him with a warm smile and they held a great feast for the arrival of new king. Still to this day, my friends, Aurther still rules over the kingdom of Azcaban wisely.

How can I Help Make My Community a Better Place

Did you know that $11.5 billion is spent every year to clean up litter. Wow that’s a lot of money! So that’s why this year I’m going to try and make my community a better place. But what should I do to help?

The first thing I can do is throw my recyclable paper in the recycling bin because I usually throw my recyclable paper into the trash can, now I will throw all my recyclable paper into the recycling bin. Second, whenever I go to a lake, beach or river, I’m going to bring a bag with me to pick up all the litter that I find scattered around the area, that’s usually cigarettes, pop cans and plastic bottles, food wrappers or other types of litter. Lastly, I can fundraise money and volunteer and donate to the light house or the food bank,and I can volenteer at the S.P.C.A or help out at community centers like Sherbrooke.

You may think this is a hard task for you alone to do,but I like to think of Terry Fox’s quote ” If every Canadian gave one dollar, we’d have $22 million for cancer research. ” So the next time you think that your not helping the community much,remember that every little contribution is helping our community, or even the world by a little at a time. That is how I’m going to help make my community  a better place.

Traveling, One of My Interests

Hi! It’s me, back again blogging. My new topic to write about is… my interests! One of my personal interests is traveling. The reason I love traveling so much is that when you travel you see so many new places and landmarks you wouldn’t see in your own city, town, or village. Not to also mention, you also meet new people and make new friends. I have a down side to traveling though. I always get air sick and very, very impatient. In the car I get a bit nauseas, on both car and plane I get very fidgety, I hate being in tight spaces! But to me, it’s wroth all the trouble. Not to mention that I went to California this summer! we visited so may cities I never dreamed we would be in. I went to Los’ Angeles where we went to Disney land. I was so excited! But truly, I was a bit disappointed, not only in Disney Land but almost all the attractions. the two attractions that actually surprised me was SeaWorld and the San Diego. But the worst of the worst happened! It started to drizzle…then shower and before you could say ” I went to California this summer” there was a thunder storm, what luck! Oops looks like my time is running out! Well, my friends that leaves me with one, no, but two questions for all of you, do you like to travel? and which areas have you been to?
