Skating Test
On Thursday, I tested in Massachusetts again. I retested my intermediate
moves. I have been working really hard on them and I was definitely more
confident then I was last time. This time when I tested I skated with my
confidence instead of my fear. I moved
right along and passed my moves by a lot. I am very proud of myself and my
coaches.
“A Christmas Carol”
After testing on Thursday we met up with my friend Emma from
Annie. We had dinner with her and then went to go see her in a Christmas
Carol. She played the ghost of Christmas
past. She was excellent and so was the show. Marley was super creepy and
Scrooge was very good. It was the classic Christmas Carol story with a little
twist at the end. Instead of showing scrooge bringing the turkey to Bob
Cratchit’s house, the narrator came out with his son saying he was tiny Tim. It
was very nice new ending and a very good production of A Christmas Carol.
Christmas Poem
Santa’s Hat
How does this man do it,
The one that dresses in red and white,
The one that delivers presents
On this cold December night?
This has been a mystery
For many years til now,
And I, Santa’s elf, am here
To tell you why and how.
At exactly 5 o’clock,
On the blessed Christmas Eve,
Santa lines his reindeer up,
And he’s about ready to leave…
But before he goes, he knows
He has to do one more deed.
He has to get his special hat,
Which he absolutely needs!
This hat is all the magic,
This hat is how he does it.
It’s how Santa delivers gifts
And all the kids love it!
Since there are so many kids
All around the world,
Santa freezes time
To complete all his work!
So the mystery’s been answered,
But please do not tell
The secret of Santa’s hat…
You don’t want an elf to yell!

Summarize the story:
This
story explains about the Nativity and, the three wise men going to see Jesus.
It also says that there was a fourth wise men that came, but never actually saw
Jesus. He went along with the other wise men. But saw someone dying on the side
of the road. He pulled over to help the men. He was late, but he saved that
mans life. He went back home to Arabia to but more camels so he could travel
faster and maybe get to see the King of Kings. On his way to Bethlehem, The
fourth wise men stopped in Jerusalem because he heard of a baby boy being born
there. This was not the King of Kings, but this baby was sick. The fourth wise
men gave one of the special gifts that he was saving for the King of Kings to
the family to buy medicine to heal the baby boy. The medicine worked and the
wise man was on his way again. Any way the wise man kept trying to find the
King of Kings, but never could, he stopped to help the people in need, and made
a living out of it. One day in Jerusalem, the wise man had heard that the King
of Kings was getting crucified that day for being named the King of the Jews. The
wise man thought he could help, the man only had one gift left to give to the
King of Kings. But then he saw a citizen of Arabia that the wise man knew very
well getting dragged off to get crucified. This young woman was only twelve or
so. The wise man decided to save the life of this little girl. This girl was
grateful and told God he should be rewarded, and he was because the fourth wise
men was the first person to go up to heaven after Jesus died, and the wise man
could finally give the King of Kings his gifts and blessing.

Jews and the celebration to Hanukkah. These people threw a rock at Issac’s
window and knocked his menorah off. Isaac’s parents were very mad at the
situation and went to the police. The police were angry too. They had a meeting
and Isaac and his mom were on T.V. They decided to have all the people who
believed that this act was wrong, to put up pictures of menorahs in their
