Favorite family memories Dear Santa, I love your reindeer. I hope I get a shotgun. I can’t wait when it is Christmas.

How are your reindeer? I hope I get a xbox 360. Go in the front door.

Bye! Cody (first grade)

One year my cousin Kevin threw me and my cousins in the snow bank.

It was very fun, but old.

That year I got 4 pillow pets. I got a basketball bag and clothes from my aunt.

I got a phone last year. My cousins and I like to go down stairs. We play pool, and it is very fun. A couple of times I won. My Gramma makes very very good pie.

Some of my favorite family memories come from our family slee povers! The last family slee pover we had my cousin, Taryn, and I had a fort down stairs made out of pillows and blankets.

We went sledding down my stairs using a couch cushion! That was a lot of fun!

Every time we get together we have fun. I can't wait to see what fun we have this year!

Maddie Erdahl Dear Santa, I know I have enough stuff, and my mom calls me a hoarder,but is it okay that I have some stuff for my kitten? She is only five years old, and very playful.

The things that would be nice are a fake mouse, a cat bed, kitty treats, one of those things that cats can climb on and some nice cat food.

Thank you.

Sincerely, Ian

One of my best Christmas memories was three years ago. I could hardly wait for Christmas.

I couldn't sleep. When I was seven I ran to wake my parents to open presents. I got lots of cool stuff and when I picked up one box my mom told me to wait to open that one last. I could hardly wait to open it and I nearly fainted. It was a DS a n d t h e n ew Po ke m a n Diamond version. I was so happy. That is one of my favorite Christmas memories.

Favorite Christmas memory

My favorite Christmas m e m o r y w a s l a s t ye a r when I got a wrestling game. I like it because you can wrestle people. It's an X-box game and I play it by myself. It was a great present from my dad. I also got a stuffed animal. I was a lion, and I named it Simba.

I hope I get a new wrestling game this year, because I broke my last one. I went to my Grandma's house on Christmas Eve day. This year I hope I get WWE 13.

My favorite Christmas memory is going to Florida to see my great-grandma

My favorite Christmas memory was when I was five or six and my aunt gave me and my sister a secret present. Inside was a DSI!!!

I could not believe my eyes!

It was a DSI with a game!

Ever since I got it, I have never let it out of my sight, except for when I go to sleep. It has been four or five years since I got ti, and I never stopped getting DS g ames. I want it to be C h r i s t m a s e v e r y d ay, because it is my favorite holiday.

Austin Clemensen (fourth grade)

My favorite Christmas memory was last Christmas I got a Hot Wheels game. I loved it. It was cool. I started the game. Another Christmas I got a Wii from mom and dad. I got a leverman from dad. I love them. Santa gave me the game.

Reese Bailey (second grade)

My favorite Christmas memory is going to Florida to see my great grandma Betty. First we had to go to Tennesse for one night at my grandma Susan's house,then pick her up. We rode through Georgia overnight. In the morning, we got to F lorida. We arrive at grandma Betty's house. We stayed there for a week. One day we got to go to the beach. One day my dad caught a lizard because my grandma has lots of lizards at her house.

We opened all our presents on Christmas Eve. Julia Weyers (third grade)

My favorite Christmas memory is when I got a helicopter from my mom, I shot it at my sister. It was fun. I can shoot two missles out of the helicopter. It can shoot in the air when it is flung. It came with targets.

I got a Nintendo g ame called Indiana Jones, the real game. I also got some army guys from mom and dad.

Korbin Hubbard (fourth grade) My favorite Christmas memory is when I got a wrestling guy from my dad. I got a board game from my mom. I got a video game and a movie. I went to my grandma's house, and my cousins were there, too. We ate turkey, corn, p o t at o e s, s t u f f i n g a n d cake.

Caden Hunt (second grade)

My favorite Christmas Memory is when I was seven and I was asleep and heard a noise. I got up and went downstairs. I saw that the cookies were gone!

I ran into my mom and dad's room and said,"Mom, Dad, the cookies are gone!" and Dad said,"How did that happen?" Then I was the presents under the tree.

The presents we opened the next day. We had waffles for breakfast and the looked in our stockings. I loved my presents. What I'd really like this year thous, is some tiger bedding and some journals.

The best Christmas ever My favorite Christmas memory is when I got a go cart from my dad and mom.

I drive it on my track, and it is black. I got an electric helicopter. My dad can't drive it because he crashes it into the ceiling fan! I got a remote control monster t r u c k f r o m m y Au n t Wheezie and I to it stuck in the mud. It doesn't work now!

Then we all went to church.

Another memory is when I got my DS and I got some games for it. We had breakfast and they played with our toys.

Hunter VanEps (fourth grade)

My favorite Christmas memory is when I went to Wa l t D i s n e y Wo rl d i n Florida. We had so much fun. I went on a big ride called Mt. Everast. It was so fun and we went up so high and then we went backwards. It was scary! It was dark all thw way down until we got out, and we went circling the mountain.

And that was the best Christmas ever.

Pher Just

Every year for C h r i s t m a s, I h ave t wo Christmases. One at my Uncle Dan's, and one at my Aunt Char & Deb's.

Every year at my Uncle Dan's, after we eat, we open presents. About an hour after we open presents, Santa comes. Then we open our presents from Santa, then we visit for a bit, then we leave.

A t m y Au n t C h a r & Deb's, we a have a large family. We visit for awhile and then we eat, then we open presents. This is Christmas day so Santa's presents are already there.

I have a lot of fun at my Christmases and look forward to them every year.

CHRISTMAS GREETING ISSUE - MORRIS SUN TRIBUNE

The best Christmas I ever had

One Christmas, I guilt a huge iglo with my brother Caleb. It was big enough that we could site and stand in it. It took all day to build, and at the end of the day we went and got two flashlights. We stuck them in the snow. Then we went and got my Grandma, Mom, Dad, Simon and Gavin. Finally we wanted to see how many people we could fit in it.

We could fit everyone in it. Then we went back inside, ate and opened presents.

That was the best Christmas I ever had.

Riah Grant

O n e o f m y f avo r i t e Christmas memories is when my little brother and sister were born. Their names are Katie and Christopher.

They were born a few days after Christmas on January 5th. They were so cute. They weighed almost 3 pounds and fit in my dad's hands.

On Christmas Eve, we had to stay in the hospital for 5 hours. On January 5th when they were born, they had to stay in the hospital for a few days. I was sad about that.

One day when I came home from school my dad called me to come inside.

He said, "Come and pick up this mess you made in my room."

I didn't know what he was talking about. When I walked into the room my mom was sitting on the bed holding Katie and C h r i s t o p h e r. I w a s s o HAPPY to see them.

Melissa Fritz

M y f avo r i t e w i n t e r memory is going to Ande's Tower Hills. I like going on the jumps and I usually use skis. I go on a lot of the hills. My dad, sister, brother and I go togethter. My dad and brother use snowboards and my sister uses skis. The biggest hill there is Hollywood High. It is very big! It is so big, that you can see it from very far away.
