1. What is your favorite Holiday? Christmas

2.What is your favorite holiday song? I got a couple. "Christmas shoes", "I saw mommy kissing Santa Clause", and "All I want for Christmas is you"

3. What is your favorite subject? My favorite subject is writing. I love free writing about imaginary things but I am also good in math.

4. What is your favorite Holiday Dessert? I love pumpkin pie! I also like the soft mints.

5. What is your favorite animal? I like the monkey because it can swing from branch to branch with its tail. I like baby pigs they are really cute.

6. Who do you like best, Snow Miser or Heat Miser? I like the heat miser. The cold miser is ugly.

7. Gold or silver? Both. Silver looks good on watches and and necklaces but gold looks good on other things.

8. Presents or gift card? I like gift cards because you can buy what ever you want and it fits in your wallet. I like the feeling of ripping open my gift too.

9. Santa or Frosty? See I like them both. Santa owns the reindeer but Frosty is made out of snow.

10. What is your favorite Holiday memory? I can't decide it is really hard because every ever something neat always happens. One that I like a lot was when my immediate family drove to Louisiana and had Christmas with all my family. I remember that we had to sleep on a mattress and it was so cold.

How to decorate a Christmas Tree

How to decorate a Christmas Tree...

First, you need to get some ornaments and lights for the tree.(If you have a tree.)

Then, wrap the lights around the tree evenly.(Note: don't place the tree by a fireplace, it is highly flammable. You should not ignite the tree either.)

Next, place any kind of ornaments on the tree. The tree should be nicely covered in holiday ornaments. Spread this out that way your tree doesn't look to crowded.

Some people choice to put popcorn strings and/or candy canes on the tree. A candy cane represents the blood of Christ and the white is how he washes away your sins. But candy canes now come in all kinds of flavors, bubble gum, sweet tarts, now and laters, and even strawberry mint.

You should show gratitude toward your Christmas tree, there wouldn't be a Christmas tree without Martin Luther King. He was the first person to put lights on a tree because he wanted to show his kids what stars look like shining though the trees.

Tons of trees die every year. Sadly in the forest they don't have fireproof trees also people cut down trees for Christmas. Maybe we could help the trees. We could plant more and use our skills and knowledge toward prevention of fires.

Dear Santa........

"You are not going to believe this." Said the elf as he stumbled into the toy factory. Hannah wants only a few things for Christmas . Listen to this.
"Dear Santa, I just want a few things for Christmas. I would like a diamond ring for my mother, a tool set for my father, and a DS game for my brother. If you would like to get me something all I would like is snow. Let snow, let it snow, let it snow. I sure would be grateful for snow. It is so soft and cold. What kind of cookies would you like, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter, or chocolate chip? Sorry Santa we do not have a fire place because it is too dangerous. If you were to put oil or gasoline in it there would be an explosion. Also some people hang there stockings above the fire and that is not smart because the stockings are flammable.Make sure you check the sleigh's meter before you leave, you always need to be prepared. Have you thought of becoming athletic? Not that you are fat. Okay, the truth is you are a little chubby and I am worried about you. I mean without you the faith of the North pole would leave all of the childrens hearts. You would not like to be the person held responsable for ruining the magic of Christmas would you? I would just like you to be health and live for a very, very long time."
Thank you for taking the time to read this,
Hannah

"How Terrifying"

"How terrifying!" yelled the inventor,"but amazing! I have invented the Frankinbug! A little green and red bug with a head the size of a large apple. Wow this bug is dancing! I wander if it would like to go to a fiesta with me. Then later it would probably need a siesta. I should make a little sombrero for him."

"I want a burrito you fool. Give me all of your money or else!"

"Not if I squash you first! Haha!"

"Oh no it is big foot! Run away!"

Ms.Lines is Out

Ms.Lines has asked me to fill in for her since she has a meeting in Colorado so I have to teach. It is my choice to pick whether I want to teach Social Studies or Language Arts. I decided to teach Social Studies.

I would grade the children on how long it takes to finish the worksheets, how much they talk and participation. There is no such thing as a failure in my class. Every child should have the opportunity to answer the questions and feel like they did a good job in class. I would be a fun sub because I don't want the kids to have boredom or think that every time I sub it will be a disappointment.

I would teach about segregation and how the colored people was treated like they were nothing. How they didn't get that many rights if the got any at all. I would ask them to write a paper on what they thought on this very important topic. They would get to put in their judgement. The students would not have to go though the thought procedure, the brainstorming, organizing their thoughts, writing a draft, and then writing their final. A small draft and then the final is all that would be required. The students would be more than welcome to do the whole process but it is not asked of them to do so.

Bottle Fairy

"Hey kids why don't you go outside and get some fresh air? Playing with your friends will be more interesting than sitting on the couch glued to the television." said mom.

Where is dad I want him to play frisbe with me?

"Dad took his motorcycle and went to a co worker's house for dinner, he should be back in time for family game night. Go put on your sweater and head out to the backyard."

Hey what is this old bottle? Where did it come from? How did it get back here? Who does it belong to? Well it doesn't have a name so maybe I should open it up and look in side. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!" What is this strange little thing? It looks like a little human with wings!

"I am a Christmas fairy. I am very friendly and since you rescued me I would like to grant you three wishes. Now these wishes can not interfere with space time continual, harm anyone or any animal, these wishes can be like as much candy as you want or a mud bath or etc."

Okay for my first wish, I wish I could have as many wishes as I want.

"Your first wish is now granted."

For my second wish I wish I had a flying dragon that was kind, didn't eat people and mom would be okay with him.

"Any specific color?"

How about a little green and purple flying dragon that would not grow big.

"Alright, one green any purple miniature dragon that your mother and father would be okay with is now granted."

He will keep me company and be my best friend! He probably wants to investigate the perimeter of the house.

"Hannah it is time to go inside to eat!" called momma.

Okay be right there! I wish for a bed, enough food to feed my dragon and a couple of toys for him to play with. Once you grant my final wishes you may go.

"Your wishes are now granted thank you for releasing me I appreciate this so much if you ever need anything just say these words,"fairy fairy with the dust fairy fairy with the love." And I will appear very sortly. You now have a friend, he will never think of you as a failure he will never have disappointment in you. He will love you forever."

Mom, mom I found a Christmas fairy she was amazing. What is for dessert?

"Christmas cookies."

Yum!
