All the stories were good and varied but Sally's was the outright winner with her unusual and amusing Christmas tale
HEAR ABOUT YOU
I asked my friend about the title for the next creative writing class and when she replied with "hear about you," I pulled a face and my thoughts were not polite, they were something like "Merry Blooming Christmas"
Oh dear! what would Santa Claus think about my ungracious thoughts, he would not be very pleased with my Baa humbug. 1 got to thinking about Santa and about all the good work he does by pleasing so many children, so my story is about Santa who always has a glowing smile.
Santa was riding his sleigh through the clouds he was deep in thought, one of his elves had gone sick, they worked to rule those elves, full of their own importance and they would never fill in for one another. Therefore poor Santa had to fill the sleigh himself and he was feeling too old for this job, if he had known about the elf going sick he would have telephoned the gnome kingdom but it was to late as the gnome kingdom had started with their parties and that's when they get up to their pranks. Last year they exchanged all the Barbie dolls for Cowboy and Indians sets. He had just arrived back to Wonderland and he was busy shampooing the soot from his rather grimy beard, when all of a sudden the screams from the Earth reached the very pinnacles of Christmas Wonderland.
All the pretty icicles snapped and never have the elves moved so fast as the icicles fell into the Action Man department, the icicles then skidded onto the Transformer department and there was utter chaos all the icicles were like rockets zooming around and eventually ended in the balloon factory. Bangl Bang! The continuous noise was horrendous. The Met office on earth issued a report that a freak thunder storm followed by very large hailstones had fallen in the south.
Santa shrugged his shoulders, enough of last year lets get started. He put the reindeer's onto remote pilot, they did enjoy whizzing through the clouds at breakneck speed, dodging the odd rocket on its way to the moon and when they found an aeroplane the reindeer's would ride alongside it and startled the passengers before they zoomed away into the clouds.
Santa fumbled in his mail bag and he drew out a bundle of letters from the children in Sleepy Town Valley. He began to read a rather grubby letter, Oh ho ho! I see that Johnny Sullivan is being greedy again, why do children of today want so much, they have no imagination, no fun, these items are all expensive, Nintendo ds, ipod, mobile phone, oh no no! Most of the letters read the same with the exception of one sad little letter from Maisy Lou Jones of 1 The High Street Sleepy Town Valley Dear Santa It was nice to hear about you and that you bring children presents at Christmas time but could you please give my present to the girl next door who is poorly and it might be her last Christmas, then she can smile just like you. Luv Maisy Lou. Santa took out his little red book and sprinkled star dust against 1 and 2 High Street, a special gift would be delivered there and there would be two smiling faces on Christmas day. Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas everyone.
