The Christmas Dog
By Michael Shook, Grade 5
It was a cold morning. I was sleeping at my owner’s feet on the bed, my ears hanging down so low that they might touch the covers.
I heard the loud beep beep of the alarm clock. I jumped up in shock and nearly fell off the bed.My owner sat up.”Go back to bed Sally” he yelled as Sally darted into the room.
”Dad dad” She yelled. “Santa didn’t come”. “of course he didn’t, it’s Christmas Eve”.
“Oh yeah I forgot” she said sounding a little embarrassed. I walked downstairs to admire the Christmas tree. It was beautiful. The lights reflected on the little glass balls hung from the branches and made little colorful spots all over the roof.
I strode over to the window. It was still dark but it was a lot lighter because of the lights of the houses down the street . it was still pretty early in the morning so I decided to go back to bed.
I heard something step with a crunch, I lept up on the windowsill. then I saw something streak past the window. It looked like a deer but it had red harnesses with gold Bells around it. suddenly the door handle started to turn
I ran over to the door just in time to see it open but no one was there. I stuck my head out the door but only the reindeer was there. Perplexed I walked out the door.
Then the strangest thing happened. It felt like I was falling but I was going up. Then I started flying over to the reindeer and I fell right on top of the reindeer. the reindeer pushed on the ground and raised into the air.
I was terrified. I struggled to stay on it’s back I dug my claws into the fur on the reindeer’s back. It felt like I was going a million kilometers per hour and maybe I was. It was hard to see where I was going because of all the snow.
Suddenly the reindeer slowed down we started to glide down. The ground was covered in a blanket of snow and sun reflected off it to make the snow have a sparkly gold color to it .
We landed in a thicket of trees and jumped off. It felt so good to be back on the ground. I could barely stand because I had just adjusted to flying. The reindeer walked into a clearing I decided to follow it.
Suddenly I noticed a little hut sitting in the snow. I trudged through the snow towards the hut and so did the reindeer. The door handle opened to reveal a small room with a hole in one side of the room. The reindeer rose up into the air I jumped onto its back and started to move towards the hole and dropped right into the hole.
We landed in a sort of factory full of tiny people with tiny pointed hats. I bounded down the stairs to get a better view of the factory. There was an conveyer belt all around the building and reves hung on the walls.
I saw something white slide past me. I looked around just in time to see a white bone slide into a slot in the wall. I jumped up on the machine.I started to slide towards the slot I tried to run the other way but it was no use. I was plunged down a hole and down a sort of slide.
I was going faster and faster down the slide suddenly the slide ended I dropped into a large sack. As more boxes landed on top of me I was squished between two hard boxes. I tried to lift my head but I could not because of the boxes all around me.
Quietly the sack was lifted off the ground and cold breeze swept over me. When I could move my head I could see that I was at a very familiar house. There where the reindeer tracks I knew where I was. I was home.

He flew over the food bank and dropped lots and lots of food for those who need it. He dropped off cards and toys for the children of Clearwater too!

A Christmas Nightmare
By Soren Arduini
It was the morning after Christmas. My camouflage onesie ripped open as I stretched my arms. I looked at the hole and burst into tears.
I fell off of the couch, still crying. I got up to make a bagel, thinking it would cheer me up. Little did I know that we had none! I cried more! I reached for my brand new Jake Paul toque and that’s when I noticed all of my toys were gone!
The only toy left was my GoProHero6, with a note. “Film everything that is about to happen,” it said.
I was scared. I searched the whole house for my parents. No trace. I turned on the GoPro and started to film. Weird things started to happen … Toys were crawling out of the wall, Pennywise the Clown appeared and my Christmas tree grew arms and legs! I lived at the top of a ski hill, so I had to get my boots on without getting caught!
I ran to the ski shack and quietly tried to put them on. The first went on quietly, but when I tried to put the second on, I hit the door stopper. TWAAAAANG. All of the weird things in my living room heard and knew where I was!
I burst through the door and threw my skis to the ground. I jumped into the skis. Click. Click. I started down the hill. Perfect. No one had been on it all day. The snow was powdery. I could hear them chasing me, so I turned into the trees.
My favorite run. Somehow, I escaped the evil things and made it to the bottom of the hill. I was actually starting to have fun.
Just then, I saw a cafe! In the window, a sign said “Make your own bagel for $1.99!” I ran right over and pulled a toonie out of my pocket. I flipped the toonie and it landed on the counter. “Keep the change,” I said.
The bagel was cream cheesy, bagelly and delicious! Just as I finished the last bite, I felt my arm shaking.
“Logan! Wake up!” my mom yelled. “You were eating a bagel in your sleep!” I opened my eyes and saw all of my toys, a fresh bagel, no hole in my onesie and a warm Jake Paul toque on my head. Phew!

One December afternoon, a dog named Mosley slept quietly. He was a patient at the St. Clinic. Unfortunately Mosley passed away, but let me tell you where he is now!
Zoey the elf was practising her magic to make the reindeer fly on Christmas Day, but it wasn’t working. All of a sudden…POP…a dog appeared!
“Woowww!” Zoey whispered in confusion.
“I’ve got to tell Santa Claus.” Zoey said before running out the door!
“Hey Santa! Look what I found! Can I keep it? PLEASE?!!!!
“Ho ho ho, of course” Santa said. “So what’s the little dog’s name?”
“Mosley!” Zoey said.
For the next year, she fed him, bathed him, played with him, talked to him, walked him and best of all loved him. Then something big happened!
“Ok guys, lets do this! We have 48 hours until Christmas,” Santa said.
“Oh no!” Lilly came out of the reindeer camp and saw that Blitzen had sprained his ankle on the monkey bars!
Soon the word spread all over town. Even the penguins knew and when Mosley heard, he knew exactly what to do. He went to the reindeer training camp.
“I’ll help” he said, as he barged into the room.
All of the reindeer laughed, but Rudolph said “Give him a chance! We can’t do it without eight of us pulling the sleigh.”
They all agreed and even Santa said “Well… we can try giving it a shot.”
It was time to go and Mosley was terrified, He didn’t know what to do but Rudolph guided him through the winter snow all night. In some places there were even beautiful palm trees. It was fun. Mosley was proud and loved watching all the presents falling into the chimneys. But Mosley started to get sad and he wanted to see Zoey. Finally Santa said “Mosley, we are heading home!”
When they got home, Mosley jumped out of the harness and ran to Zoey. He knocked her down with happiness and she said “I have a surprise for you!”
Zoey threw a surprise party! That made Mosley happy. He took Zoey to the mistletoe and went under it. He licked Zoey’s cheek, giving her a great big kiss!
Merry Christmas!

The Next Morning…
Blink blink. Peppermint, my polar bear, was lying next to me. “OW!! My back!”
Flop the Elf came running “What is the matter Santa?” he said, in his cute elf outfit.
“My back hurts. I can’t get out of bed.”
“But you have to Santa. Boys and girls are going to be sad if they don’t get gifts!”
“Well Flop, I am running out of magic,” I said.
Winter, my friend the dog, also has a little bit of magic…” said Flop.
“You’re funny Flop, but nobody can do my job,” I said.
“I’m sorry Santa, but she’s on her way already.”
“WHAT! This can’t be happening! FLOP, WHY WOULD YOU SEND HER?!”
“Um santa, I’m sorry. I only did it because we’re trapped in your house. It snowed a lot and I was afraid that boys and girls weren’t going to get their gifts!”
“I’m sorry for getting mad at you Flop,” I said.
WOOF. WOOF. WOOF. SCRATCH. SCRATCH. SCRATCH. BANG. A window shattered. Winter jumped in with a saddle just in time and all the gifts were delivered.

He ran kilometres into the forest. Then he heard a huge CRASH!!! He heard someone hopelessly saying, “Help help help”.
Jeff ran as fast as he could to the sound but only saw a big pile of clothes. Then he heard someone crying “Help help help” again. He saw a face in the pile of clothes and yelled, “IT’S SANTA”! Jeff ran and started licking Santa.
Santa tried to talk but barely could. Good thing dogs have good hearing. Santa muttered “We have to find my sleigh so I can deliver my presents and fast”. Santa pulled out a rope and tied it to him and Jeff.
It was hard to pull but he got the hang of it. It had been about an hour since Jeff found Santa. All of a sudden something popped out at them. They could not see because it was dark.

9 hours later….
It was dinner time and the dog was barking as Gab’s mom pulled up. She didn’t know what to do so she grabbed some old cat food from the cupboard and put the dog in her bedroom with water and cat food. Gab’s mom walked in the door and her heart was racing so fast she could barely breathe.
“What’s the matter?” her mom said. “Oh nothing,” Gab said under her breath. She went in the kitchen and started cooking dinner. “Dinner time!” hollered mom a few moments later. Zion, Presley, and Gab ran to the table after dinner. The dog was barking so Gab ran to her bedroom, but her mom was already in there. She gave Gab trouble, but in the end we ended up keeping the magical stuffy dog!

Spiky finally did and he was glad. When he got up to Santa he didn’t know how to walk him down so Spiky just unbuckled his seat belt and Santa fell, but he was okay.
After Santa was safe Spiky went to find the reindeer and eventually he did.
After Santa was going to bring back to the shelter and Spiky leaped up and licked Santa and barked and barked so Santa knew he loved Spiky and had to keep him.
So Santa let him stay and they road back to the North Pole and they lived happily ever after and Spiky was now called the Christmas dog. “Merry Christmas to Spikey,” said Santa.
The Dog Who Saved Santa
By Kileigh Foisy
It was a snowy Christmas Eve. Everyone was sleeping, waiting for Santa. I’m Ben. Ben the dog. I’m just waiting for Santa because every year he gives me a bone. I’ve been waiting for a while but all I see is snow, snow and more snow. Suddenly, I see a flash! I thought it was just a star but no, it was Santa! I saw his sleigh fall in my town, so I decided to go looking for him. I ran everywhere but I was lost! I finally found him.
“Santa!” I said.
“Ben, could you help me deliver the presents?” Santa asked.
So I did. We finished by 1:00 in the morning. Santa was really impressed, so he said “Well done, Ben!” Then Santa told me that there was one present left, but it didn’t have a name! We rode all over the world and then we stopped.
“The Christmas spirit is low, so the sleigh won’t work,” Santa said.
I ran city to city making the Christmas spirit work.
“It worked!” Santa said. “Ben, the present was yours!” I was on the ground so Santa threw down some dust (the stuff that made the reindeer fly!) so that I could fly up to the sleigh. I flew up. Santa asked me if I wanted to live with him at the North Pole.
I said “YES!! But what about my family?”
So Santa said “Ben I’ll make a note saying that you’re living with me.”
We arrived at the North Pole and I had some food and water and fell asleep.
Then I heard my owners voices. “Ben, wake up it’s time for food!” James said. I looked out the window and there I could see Santa flying in the cold wintery sky. He said Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. Ho ho ho!
The Dog Who Saved Christmas
By Katie Biagioni, Grade 4
One morning Santa woke up to a lovely smell. He rushed out of bed. Mrs. Claus was making ginger bread men in the kitchen.
She reminded him that it was Christmas. He replied “I would never forget Christmas.”
A few hours later the door bell rang. One of his elves had a box Santa asked what it was. The elf replied I don’t know. Some one gave it to me to give to you.”
Santa showed Mrs. Claus. She asked what it was? Santa whispered ”I don’t know”. They opened the box very slowly.
It was a puppy. Santa and Mrs. Claus gasped. Santa and Mrs. Claus celebrated. Then it was time for Santa to go make sure the elves were making the toys for the children.
Santa went in the workshop. Every thing was going fine. Santa announced that he had news. All of the elves looked at him excitedly. Then Santa said I have a puppy!
All of the elves cheered then Santa told them to get back to work! I’ll be getting the reindeer and the sled ready. It was really stormy and then Santa remembered he forgot Rudolph and the storm was getting worse!
Santa couldn’t see. Rudolph knew Santa was in trouble. He started kicking at his stall and the puppy saw him. The puppy could sense his fear so the puppy knew he had to do some thing!
The little puppy some how unhooked the latch,then Rudolph burst out of his stall and flew to Santa. Rudolph magically connected to the sleigh with his harness. Santa couldn’t believe his eyes. He wondered how Rudolph got there.
Christmas was saved! Santa was able to deliver all the presents that stormy night. Santa finally got home. Santa couldn’t find his puppy anywhere. He went to say good night to the reindeer. He looked all over for the puppy he finally found it in Rudolph’s stall.
Santa came back to the house with the puppy. Mrs. Claus was worried about the puppy. Santa sat down and had one of those ginger bread men that Mrs. Claus made that morning. Santa told Mrs. Claus all about the deliveries!
The Day After Christmas
By Kayden Wei
It was the end of Christmas. There was a boy named Ben. He was the meanest boy in the world. He bugged kids, he broke mailboxes and he stole chips from the gas station! No one seemed to like him … except Santa. Santa believed that had a good heart deep down and that if he learned to be nicer, he would make friends.
This year Santa was done delivering presents a little early so he decided to leave Ben and note instead of a present. Ben rolled out of bed. He noticed a paper near his door.
“Dear Ben,
This is Santa. If you can be nice all year, I will give you whatever you want next Christmas. That means NO bugging kids, NO breaking mail boxes and NO stealing chips.
Love, Santa”
Ben ripped the note to shreds. “I’m never going to be nice!” he roared.
Later that day, he was laying in his bed still thinking about the note when he suddenly heard a bark. He looked out the window and saw a fluffy brown dog.
“Hey! That’s the dog from the news! The one who saved Christmas!”
He ran out and noticed another note.
“Dear Ben,
I can help teach you to be nice, but there’s a catch. I need a squeaky toy.”
Ben knew they sold toys at the gas station. He ran there and grabbed the nearest one. He was about to steal it, but then he remembered Santa’s note. This time, he went to the cash register and bought it! He brought it to the dog who said, “I have another favor.”
“Okay, what?”
“Can you get my mail? said the dog.
Ben went to the mailbox. He couldn’t get it open and got so mad he was about to break it. Then, he got an idea! He politely asked the mail lady to help him. After getting the mail, he went to the dog.
“Okay, please help me be nice now!” Ben said.
“You’re welcome,” said the dog as he started to walk away.
“You have to help me, though!” yelled Ben.
“I already did!” the dog said and then he disappeared.
Thank Goodness for Snow
By Noelle Muddiman, Grade 7
It all started when Santa drank too much eggnog. It was late Christmas eve, around 3 in the morning, and it had been a long night.
Long enough that Santa opened up his secret stash of eggnog, and proceeded to down the entire 1 litre bottle. Thus heavily intoxicated, he didn’t remember to to kill the fire at the bottom of a particularly long chimney before sliding down it.
The chimney was attached to a large brown house. The house belonged to the Pettisons, as did a small, grey and white husky dog.
Who was this small, grey, husky dog? Me. My name is Wish, and this is how I saved Santa.
When Santa slid down the chimney, he at first didn’t realize that he was sitting in a fire. I guess eggnog really dulls the senses.
Anyways, when he did discover the blaze underneath him, there was a lot of curses, followed by some screaming, and it was all wrapped up with a loud “Bang!” as Santa hit his head on the mantle.
Now, the Pettisons could sleep through a hurricane, so a bit of screaming did nothing to alert them to the fact that a magical legend was writhing on the floor of the living room with first degree burns. I would have to take matters into my own paws.
First, I inspected the damage. Santa was covered in bright red welts, and his famous beard was all but burnt away. When Santa rolled over and saw me standing 6 inches from his nose, I must have looked pretty scary, because he passed out.
I had to do something. The burns looked pretty bad, and it wasn’t like I could open the freezer and swipe some ice. Believe me, I’ve tried to open the fridge, but it’s impossible.
I was puzzling over whether or not to wake the Pettisons, when I remembered that it was winter. I could just roll Santa outside!
And so that’s what I did. Getting the old man through the dog door was a bit of a squeeze, but I managed to get him outside and into the snow.
I’d saved Santa.
The End
Snowflake Saves Christmas
By Sam Jensen
The town is frozen. There is no color except for the crystal like diamonds dangling from the houses. All through the houses there is not a peep…except for one. A little boy, Samuel, and his dog, Snowflake, were playing. They loved to experience Winter, mostly because of light fluffy snow, Christmas and yummy sugary baked goods!
Today, the two were outside playing on their super duper toboggan. All was good until Snowflake realized Samuel was headed right for a tree. Snowflake leaped up, latched onto Samuels jacket, flew up and unlatched his claws. “Drop,” went Samuel.
“Samuel,” his mom Tasha called “Come on in, I’m making hot cocoa!”
While waiting, they checked the santa tracker. While watching Santa slowly move across the screen, he got glitchy then something popped that said “Santa is having technical difficulties, please wait for him to start to travel again.” Snowflake ran to the door and Samuel knew what he had to do!
He opened the door and Snowflake flew away, searching Canada until he found the big old jolly man. Santa was relieved to see a happy face. I even think his belly got bigger.
“I knew you would come to my side. See, I lost my super jets and I don’t have enough power. Can you help?”
“Woof woof woof.” Snowflake got behind the sleigh and then went around house to house without a sound, tip toeing around the tree delivering presents to good boys and girls. As time passed, it was soon dawn and there was only one house left. Samuel’s house. As soon as they landed, Snowflake came around, stared at Santa and left.
As soon as Santa was gone, Snowflake went in the frozen doggy door and climbed into one of the presents. Morning arrived and Samuel rushed into his parents room. Samuel, Tasha and Cory came running down the stairs. When they got downstairs, Samuel saw a present moving and grabbed it. He pulled open the top and there was Snowflake! Samuel was so happy! He took Snowflake and hugged his mom and dad, like a family would on Christmas Day.
