In The Land Of The Christmas Cracker


One night I stared out of the misty window watching snow fall down and lights flicker in the distance. Grandma and granddad sat eating their meal. Mother and papa stood in the kitchen fussing about presents while Billy sat on the red carpet in the living room playing with cars. I sat there looking at frozen over lakes and houses getting whiter and whiter every second. Billy then screamed “POST” Timmy our pet dog ran up to the post picked it up and came running to me immediately and dropped it front of me. I picked it up and here was what it said:

Dear Abbey and Billy

Merry nothing Christmas has been ruined by evil Jack Frost and his slave goblins. I myself gives you my dearest love and courage to let you go on a powerful journey with a friend and of course Billy to the land of the Christmas cracker and defeat the evil goblins.

Dearest Love

Santa

I sat there amazed at the letter that had just passed my eyes. I was silent until a thrash of reins outside broke it and little light could be seen through the thin white curtain that surrounded my body. I got paler and paler at the sight and passed into a deep sleep.

I was awoken by a soft hand that felt like velvet and a little “Hello”. I saw two people quite a thin person very short as well standing by my bed. “Who are you anyway? I’m Abbey”. I could make the shape of one person my brother but who was the other figure?

"A Cold Winter's Night" by Corey, Age 11, Year 6

A Cold Winter’s Night

Snow dropping down like a cup being poured.
Snow balls shooting like a rocket.
I love winter.

The cat warms against the fire.
The ice drips down on the cold smooth snow.
The children play on the ice as loud as a lions roar.
I love winter.

A woolly hat is as soft as cotton wool.
Boots are as stiff as a rock.
My coat is as long as a million meter sticks.
Winter is as cold as the Arctic, I hate it.
I don’t like winter.

The Winter Story

In the winter time I went to an old castle and fell down the wet stairs. So I went to a pond to see the fish instead but I tripped over a rock and fell in the cold pond. I got out of the cold pond and slipped on some ice, my hands were freezing.
Suddenly snow came down from the sky, and I fell in the snow.
I went back home because I kept falling over and fell in the wet, wet mud.
I must be the silliest person in the world. I am looking forward to sun coming out so I don't fall over.

"The Mistletoe" by Elizabeth F, Age 10, Year 6

The Mistletoe

Before Christmas, most of us usually put up Christmas decorations. One of my most favourite decorations is the mistletoe. You hang it up in a door and wait until, one boy and one girl to go under … and they have to kiss! How romantic!

It was finally Christmas, and we were putting up the decorations for a party. Everyone was coming. Aunt, Uncle, friend, including my crush!

While we putting up the tree, I saw a funny looking box, with sparkly thingies in it. I thought to myself, shall I poke my nose into other peoples’ things? Of course, I knew what the answer was. Yes!

As my Nan says, the best things are at the bottom. I dug myself deeper and deeper; my eyes came to glance upon a plastic piece of … mistletoe. Then an idea went through one ear, but not out of the other.

I hung it by the front door. Perfect, I thought to myself. Really mischievous! Mum was calling to me. By the time I had got to her, I had completely forgotten about the mistletoe.

Ding Dong! Dong Ding! The first guest. [Bet you can’t guess who it is!] I opened the door. I did get a surprise then! My crush had come. I remembered… Oh no, the mistletoe! I looked up at the same time as him. I blushed a vibrant, bright red. So did he .

He lurched forward and gave me a great, big kiss on the cheek.
I will never try to pull a prank, for as long as I live!

"Winter Story" by Carl B, Age 9, Year 5

***********************
Winter Story

As the trees howl
the snow falls
and the lightening strikes.


The old man is in his house with the cozy fire. He looks out the window and finds a boy walking alone by himself. Then all of a sudden the boy crossed the slimy slippery road and slips. The old man had seen this and went out with a scarf and a coat and invited the boy in. The man gave him a cup of tea and then played Monopoly. Then the boy said thank you to the old man and went on his way. But when the boy left the lightening hit him and the house and left two poor people to go to hospital and also left the old man with a burnt house.

The Christmas Story

It was Christmas Eve.
I woke up and I tiptoed downstairs.
I saw Father Christmas, then he saw me, and smiled.
I thought that he would take me for an adventure.
But first, he asked me if I would get dressed and then feed his reindeer. Then he took me for an adventure.
Over the trees and houses we flew.
Then I asked Father Christmas, “Can I put a present
under the Christmas trees?”.
Then Father Christmas said, “Would you like to go to my home?”.
“YESPLEASE!”, I said, really loud.
When he took me to his home I said, “Wow!”, then I thought I should help them, so I did.
Then Father Christmas said, “Would you like to help me?”.
I said, “YES PLEASE!!!”.
So he took me on an adventure.
Over the parks, roads and trees.
I thought that I should help every Christmas.
Then Father Christmas said to me, “Would you like to go home now?” .
“Yes Please”, I replied, and he took me home then he tucked me into bed.

Snow Falling

Once upon a time there lived an alien called Kieran. Kieran had not seen snow before. Then it started snowing. He thought it was monsters from the sky.

Suddenly a real monster came. It was made out of fire. The snow put out the fire monster and the fire got turned into gas.

Afterwards Kieran saw a human and asked what it was falling from the sky. The human was called Sean and Sean said: “That is not a monster, that is snow.”

Sean showed Kieran how to throw a snowball. Kieran said, “terrific”. Sean and Kieran made a snowman and they became good friends. The best thing of all was the snowman. It came to life by magic and they called it Thomas and it became their friend too.
