They lived on a different planet.  They were very hungry.  And they didn’t know how to get to the north pole to get food.  They planned to hitchhike on an airplane to get to the North Pole.  They put on hats and faces and coats and stacked on top of each other to look like humans.  They didn’t have Plutonian passports to get to earth so they couldn’t get on the plane.  So they jump into suitcases.  They got to the North Pole and Santa gave them food.  The End.

MONICA’S SPECIAL CHRISTMAS EVE by Freda H., South Loop Elementary
Once upon a time there was a girl named Monica. Monica was in first grade and was very bad at geography. One day she received a letter from Santa. It said:
Dear Monica,
You are invited to a party at my workshop. On the night of Christmas Eve, a reindeer will pick you up. But, you have to tell the reindeer where to go.
Love,
Santa
PS. There is an indoor swimming pool which is pretty warm.
“Wow, I must pack warm clothes and a swimsuit,” Monica said. During the middle of Christmas Eve she heard a bell ringing. “That must be Santa’s reindeer,” Monica said. Monica dressed up and got onto a sleigh. “Now which way shall we go,” the reindeer asked. “My teacher told us to memorize South is up, East is left, North is down and West is right, so we have to go South which is up.” It took a long time to get to Santa’s workshop because Monica got all mixed up. When they finally arrived the party was already over. “I missed the party,” Monica sobbed. “I saved some toys and a piece of cake for you.” “Yay,” Monica cheered.  The End
