Dear Elf Bernard, Head Elf Of Santa's Workshop

In the year 2008, I received my first elf for Christmas. Her name was Snowflake and she appeared with my brothers’ elves and my mom’s old childhood elf, Duende. She’s so beautiful with her velvet green dress, red and white striped tights with green velvet elf shoes with tiny bells. Every year after Thanksgiving, my elves would arrive. I have about twelve elves because I take such good care of them that Santa sends me his elves. Our family elves are extremely mischievous and do tricks every day during the Christmas Holidays. It is my favorite time of the year. Every morning as soon as I wake up, I run downstairs to see what mischievous things my elves have done. They are very smarting, witty and extremely creative. Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love Christmas carols, decorating the house with my mom, baking cookies for Santa, the smell of pine from the Christmas tree and opening presents Christmas morning.

It can be argued that Christmas as a holiday is far removed from the way it was first envisioned. That said, there are certain element that many people share or celebrate making it an arguably complex holiday. As the preeminent children’s author of his generation, Geisel serving heavily on the minds of his young readers helped shape what Christmas means for many people with his narrative How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. Though at the surface the work is a simple morality tale that promotes unity over consumerism, it has subtle nuances that make the work interesting on several

[The objectives of this unit are to educate students about Christmas in Italy through a variety of different literacy based activities.

Everyone has a favorite holiday. There is Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, the Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and then there is everyone’s favorite- Christmas! Christmas comes with the feeling of warmth, of family, and of home. What happens, though, if all one ever knew during Christmas time was completely changed? What happens if home just is not home anymore? Sandra M. Castillo addresses that situation that actually occurred in her own life in her poem, “Christmas, 1970.” Castillo moved from Cuba to the United States in 1970 and as an eight-year old she reveals her true feelings during and about the Christmas season. Throughout the poem, she reveals a theme of what home means to her, written in her point of view as she sits under her aunt’s Christmas tree at her aunt’s apartment. Castillo uses devices like symbolism, imagery, and flashback to support her them that no one can return to their childhood home.

It takes much strength to do what they do to help Santa get presents to me and to you! So, Merry Christmas to all people, and Brownies and Elves, and to all those who think more of others than they do of themselves. “Merry Christmas,” from all the Brownies, who asked me to say, “Let Christmas live in your hearts every day!”

Students added their contributions to a Christmas tree located in the HMS Library. Every branch on this tree was covered with coats, hats, gloves, and scarves.

Once the leaves begin to alter their color for the winter, most houses and businesses also change their appearance for the winter. Many families drag out their boxes of red and green to decorate their house for the holidays. Parents may brave a line stretching down the mall so their child can tell Father Christmas, or Santa Claus, what he or she wishes to unwrap on Christmas morning. Some parents question the effect of a child’s health or morals associated with the belief in Santa Claus, but, with research and psychologists weighing in on the subject, there is no tramatic evidence apparent in letting a child have faith in Santa Claus. Evidence gathered may suggest a benefit for children. Children should have the oportunity to believe in Santa Claus because it stems creativity and can improve mental health, shows youth an example of giving without expecting anything in return, and when the time comes, forces kids to distinguish between fantasy and reality.

Dear Santa, hey it’s your good pal Scar the one from the kingdom of Lion King. Animals think I am such a bad lion for killing Mufasa. Also for taking over his kingdom, finally for bringing hyenas into their kingdom.

The Grinch isn’t guiltly with the charges brought aganist him. The Grinch has many traits like Helpful, creative, careful, thoughtful, and etc. What about that one time he saved that girl, two times! Do you remember that one time he made the santa costume and sleigh, do you also remember him making that present for that girl? The grinch did nothing wrong, he’s a nice person (Not really), if you give him a chance.

Although the Grinch had expected and looked forward to the cries of Whos, to his shock they responded with happiness. The Whos did not respond with the wanted cries, but instead with a cheerful Christmas carol. Their cheerful response showed that Christmas was not about the material goods but about what Christmas is really all about: And he puzzled three hours, ‘till his puzzler was sore.

Hey Santa it’s your old pal swiper the fox and I know that I’m known for swiping. Hey It was hard to write with paws as hands. Pulse it was hard to find a mailbox in the middle of the woods.

WHAT: Dress up your little ones in their cozy pajamas and slippers and bring them out for an evening of holiday fun. The elves are planning some reindeer games and holidays crafts along with a movie showing of "The Polar Express" movie. There will also be a very special guest in attendance for photos. A bedtime snack of cookies, popcorn and hot chocolate will be served.

I always thought Santa had to always be played by a boy, but then Erica Goepel played Santa at the Macy’s department store in New York and showed me wrong. During the Christmas shopping season, some people got angry and threatened they would never go back to shop at Macy again because they had women playing Santa! Some women need jobs so badly that they'd play Santa, even though people don't think it's right for a girl to play Santa. My opinion about all of this is that women, could play Santa but they had to be very good at acting like him.

During the Christmas season, countless families have memorable traditions that continue throughout the generations. For some, the tradition can be baking and decorating cookies, making tamales, decorating the tree, and many more! With this in mind, watching Christmas movies is a great way to spend time with loved ones and may create a lasting tradition. There are many different types of Christmas movie genres to watch. Some examples of the different genres are comedy, animated, musicals, and horror. Of course each genre is targets different audiences, but they are all based off of the holiday season.

We each take a huge breath as we step out into the crispy snow that snaps under our boots. I make my way to the front door, illuminated by the red, green, and blue Christmas lights. As I open the door and step into a house full of cheek pinches and hugs, an array of Christmas smells welcomes me and makes my mouth water. As my family and I are quickly made comfortable, I look around... All the house is full of Christmas decorations, and the carols are heard all over the house. My cousins are running, playing , and laughing.
