Merry Christmas!
Isn’t it fun
To say Merry Christmas
To everyone?
Time for a party
And presents and things
That make children happy
And give their hearts wings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas is for all ages,
Old and young.
On the Christmas Tree,
The baubles will be hung<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The sweetly chimes,
When every word is a song,
Hoping not to run out of time,
For the season isn’t long.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All that is Christmas,
He stands among us still,
Enjoy this Christmas,
Your dreams always fulfill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Covid won’t stop us
from celebrating the best time of the year.
My Christmas wish to you
is to make covid disappear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the night before Christmas,
such a wonderful time of year.
When people decorate with socks,
too big for them to wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reopening gifts for the second time,
and pretending like it’s the first.
Bloated from too much candy,
and eating until you’re about to burst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the most wonderful day
everyone looks forward to, all year
For if we remember Christmas
There\u2019s no pain we cannot bear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Christmas Getaway<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once upon a time there was a kid named Isaac who didn’t exactly get what\nhe wanted for Christmas. He badly wanted a dog, a German Shepherd, to be exact.\nHe told his parents about his wish but he was told that they couldn’t give him the\npet because of how the pandemic had affected their jobs and wages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He lashed out at his parents. He had wanted this present for a long time\nand was even doing twice as much chores as he was supposed to, just to prove\nthat he deserved this and that the time was ripe. After all the yelling and\nscreaming, he marched upstairs in sheer sadness and anger. He was silent in his\nroom, just thinking, until his anger got the best of him and so he packed up\nsome stuff and headed for the nearest bus stop and went on a trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could say that this trip was for him just a little stroll to get his\nmind off things. On the bus he was listening to music and then decided to\ngo for a little snack. He got off the bus and left for a small diner that was\nclose and that he knew. While he was sitting in the diner, back home his\nparents were having a talk. They had a plan. The plan was to get as much money\nas possible from every single close relative in the family just to buy this\ndog.  They didn’t know Isaac had gone missing and that he was just\neating a portion of fries at the diner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The waitress had noticed that he wasn’t feeling good today and so she went to check on him. They talked for a while about the situation and then the waitress smiled and said \u201cit’s not their fault that they can’t get you the dog so what you should do is go say sorry to your parents and give them a big hug to show that you really are sorry plus don’t forget, there’s always next year!\u201d Isaac smiled back, paid her for the fries and thanked her for the advice and then ran straight for home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he arrived at his house he opened the door to find a tiny puppy run straight to the door. He shrieked in joy and shock after seeing the cutest puppy ever. He ran straight for the kitchen to see his parents tired and out of breath. They had to do a lot of chasing in this one night. He gave the biggest hug he could and welcomed the puppy to the household (especially his room) but most importantly to the family.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
