It was a frosty cold evening on Christmas Eve. I was cozy under my blanket and almost fell asleep, when I heard a voice. That’s what I was waiting for. I thought for sure it was Santa! I screamed and woke up my sister, but I told her to go back to bed. I slowly crept down the creaky stairs. I could still smell the delicious gingerbread men cookies I made that night. The gingerbread cookies were still on the table with the chocolate milk I left for Santa.
I poked my head into the chimney. I could smell the ash from in the chimney. I saw something very strange poking out of the chimney. I placed my hand into the chimney and I pulled on something smooth and white. I heard someone moan. It must be Santa I thought to myself. “Santa is that you? So sorry for pulling on your beard,” I exclaimed. “Yes it is Santa. It is fine you pulled on my beard, but please get me out of the chimney. I am stuck,” moaned Santa.
I asked if he had any suggestions on how I could get him out of the chimney. Well Santa responded, “You could use some cooking oil.” “Good idea. Then you could slide out of the chimney,” I replied. I ran to the kitchen and grabbed the oil from the counter. I quickly ran back to the chimney to help Santa Claus, so he could finish delivering presents. So I tried to pull and pull but I still could not pull him out. I poured some more oil into the chimney. I pulled and pulled some more. It finally worked. Santa came tumbling out of the chimney. “Are you okay,” I asked slowly. Santa moaned and got up and responded, “Yes I am alright. You go back to sleep and have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I woke up the next day and was excited to open my present that Santa gave me. It was a camera!
Wow!! I that was a very good story. It’s really funny that you woke up your sister and you told her to go back to bed! I liked that you baked the gingerbread men cookies that night. Awesome job!!!!
