It was Christmas Eve, and I had just hung up my stocking by the fireplace-right where it would be all ready for Santa when he slipped down the chimney. I knew he was coming, because-well, because it was Christmas Eve, and because he always had come to leave gifts for me on all the other Christmas Eves that I could remember, and because I had seen his pictures everywhere down town that afternoon when I was outside with my Mother. Still, I wasn't JUST satisfied. 'Way down in my heart I was a little uncertain-you see, when you've never really and truly seen a person with your very own eyes, it's had to feel as if you exactly believed in him-even though that person always has left beautiful gifts for you every time he has came. "Oh, he'll come" I said;"I just know he will be here before morning, but some how I wish-" "Well, what do you wish?" said a Tiny Voice close by me-so close that I fairly jumped when I heard it. "Why, I wish I could SEE Santa Clause myself. I'd just like to go and see his house and his workshop, and ride in his sleigh, and know Mrs. Clause-it would be such fun, and then I'd KNOW for sure." "Why don't you go then?" said the Tiny Voice so close to me. "It' s easy enough. Just try on these Shoes, and take the Light in your hand, and you'll find your way all right." So I looked down on the Earth, and there were two cunning little Shoes side by side, and a little Spark of Light close to them-just as if they were all made out of
But then he came; he, with his easy charms and quick smile. At first I fought. But his pretty little words painted pretty little pictures in my pretty little head, hiding the truth splattered on the canvas behind them.
“I had one of those renewals of complete faith in him that I’d experienced before.”
It was Christmas eve, the smell was amazing! My mom’s Christmas cookie yankee candle was burning and the smell was still lingering from where me and my mom baked cookies and brownies to eat on christmas morning. I was in my room where I couldn’t go to sleep, My TV was still running hallmark christmas movies and I heard yelling from my parents bedroom but I was too comfortable to get up so I brushed it off and I finally told myself to get some sleep for the long and exciting morning that was just a couple hours ahead of me.The next morning was christmas morning I was wearing my favorite pajamas, a long-sleeve black shirt with two glittery hearts in the middle and my matching long black pants with red, pink,and white polka dots but
“I believe I can find it on my own. The footsteps are not hard to miss.”
“Look for the man in the green silk hat.” Whispered voice next to my ear.
Santa Claus was well-known as a kind man who had a long white bread, wore big red-white clothes and carried children’s gifts with his flying reindeers as a vehicle. Christians all around the world have had Santa traditions since the 1820’s, which is lying children to believe in Santa, hang a sock on the window, behave nicely and go to bed early so that Santa can come and give them presents (Sleepypanda 2013). Until December 2016, psychologists claimed that Santa myth could destroy children’s trust to parents. "All children will eventually find out they've been consistently lied to for years, and this might make them wonder what other lies they've been told," (Boyle & McKay 2016)
I am writing you this tragic afternoon to inform you of a most important issue that could greatly affect my grade my Christmas, and my overall year. This may not be your fault, but I have failed to receive one of my few essays back. The voice essay is the essay that has caused of all of the problems. Since I never got the essay I have no way of advancing to the next step of the essay which is the fixing of errors. I have looked for the essay prior to writing you this and had no luck of finding it. I asked you to please look over your's folders once more and write to me back with any updates on the matter at hand. Thanks for taking your precious time to read this and have an awesome day.
I laughed to myself when I remember Abel telling me at 4 am he decided to wear the Santa costume to surprise the kids.
Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer - Told From Another Point Of View ! We all know the tale of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer; the pariah of the Reindeer. But, nobody ever cares to hear the other side of the story. Today I’ll clear up the ambiguous tale of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
"Are ye thinking of the climb or something else lass? Besides, electric lights were not invented for another eight-hundred years when this passage-way was built by the original Selkie clan."
“It’s as if the whole damned world has turned to muck,” the brown haired woman said, as her remaining black leather boot lodged in the near-liquid underfoot. “‘Wet earth’
“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom,” Marcel Proust said. This quote suggests how being grateful for the people that you feel close to, will make you feel happier. A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote takes place during the Great Depression in a small Southern town. A seven year old boy named Buddy, and his friend are hit by the Great Depression. They do not have very many possessions, only basic necessities. The holidays are right around the corner so Buddy and his friend decide to make fruit cakes for all of their friends, even though they do not have much. They end up not having much money to get each other something for Christmas. In the end, they both decide that having each other is enough, and that they’re both very grateful for one other. One lesson that is taught in the story, is that often, people tend to only be grateful for materialistic things. However, in this story they’re grateful for one another. Similarly, in the short story The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry expresses the same theme of gratefulness through the development of the character traits and character conflicts. Both stories show that being grateful for the people that you feel close to, will make you feel happier.
Many people find themselves scrabbling days before Christmas to find any Christmas tree and go to Home Depot to find the one that fits their ceiling and rushes to get it in their homes, but my family and I take Christmas tree shopping very seriously. Every year my Mom, Dad, Brother, and myself travel to Canarsie Market in Brooklyn to find our Christmas tree. It is a tradition since my whole family, including myself is born in Brooklyn. We travel around the market for hours trying to find the perfect tree. We find ourselves splitting up in different rows and calling out when we think one of us has seen a tree that is attractive and has a good height. We constantly find ourselves asking workers if there are any Douglas or Noble fir trees available
My favorite season of the year occurs between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love hearing the Christmas carols on the radio and seeing the radiant lights on the houses. The preparations done for Christmas such as finding the perfect gifts for my family members and decorating the house are things I find enjoyable. A few days before Christmas each year, my baby goats are born. Eating the delicious food and the exquisite Christmas candy is also at the top of my favorites list. Altogether, most everything that happens around Christmas time I find enjoyable.
I think Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays. Maybe because of the special atmosphere that you can feel everywhere, in shops, restaurants , pubs and even streets, where you can hear the magical carols, or maybe it's because of its religious background, but what I can tell you for sure is that I can't think of anything more exciting than the image of the entire family preparing the Christmas Tree or fixing the Christmas dishes.
