Holiday Writing

I love Friday's. 

One of the best moments of my Friday is when I get to go through the kids homework for the week.

I always find all kinds of little gems and also sticky stuff, but mostly pictures and written words that I want to squirrel away in there "To Save" bins. 

Is it better to give or receive? Explain.

To Give 

On Christmas day you can give away presents to your friends and family. Do it proudly because that's the spirit of Christmas. 

If you give you feel gleeful, a wondrous thought,

of joy of every kind, you can give alot. 

Some people are melancholy and gloomy on Christmas day but you can make them jolly in one way. 

You can passionably gift them a present of any kind. 

Christmas is a time of giving, it's a time for cheer. 

It's a time of love and care. 

What do you think Christmas will be like in the future? explain.

Right now, Christmas has sparkling pine trees and exquisite gingerbread but in a century alot can change....

Hi, my name is Tabitha Elf. I've worked at Santa's workshop for a century and alot can change. 

For example, in the 2000's us elves happily chopped down Christmas trees, but right now in the 3000's Santa installed a mechanical Christmas tree. When you say "Ho, Ho Ho" the Christmas tree pops out. I used to work on toys all day but since the strike happened, snowmen passionably make the toys. For instance, this is a Christmas list from the 2000's, 

Dear Santa Claus, 

I would like a shiny, green bicycle for Christmas. Thank you for all the presents you have secretly given me. 

Sincerely... 

Now here's an example of a Christmas list now, 

Dear Santa, 

I would like a robot for Christmas! 

Sincerely..

See the difference? Christmas has changed alot in a century. 

Oh sorry, I have to go gracefully make Santa some peppermint, gingerbread jolly rancher cookies! 

Bye! I was as happy as a hyena telling this story. 

looks like someone was "gleefully" using her dictionary and simile book.:)
