3. An event at home It was Christmas Eve. The family had gathered around the table. I look ed forward gift from Santa Claus. I looked out the window and thinking that I brought "AUDI Lemans". After a while I saw a sled. It must be submitted by a variety of gifts. I went into the living room and saw Santa Claus. I asked him: - Santa, can you help me in giving of gifts? - With pleasure, sweet boy! We went to a magic sleigh moon. The re I saw Little Prince. He was m any rejoiced and I asked him : - Little Prince, do you want to come with us? He replied that his girlfriend Rose was not feeling very well. Prince preferred to stay with her. Me and Santa Claus continued to the N orth P ole. He showed me where he lives. Then he brought me home and he did magic – To be alive and healthy, and to have accurate and inseparable friends as Little Prince and the Rose. So I had almost forgotten about the gift, but my mom told me to look under the tree. I expected the car there, but I was thinking about my friends. Martin Nenchev, 4 th grade

4. In front of the hearth In a month is the most important family celebrations- Christmas Eve and Christmas Night. The family sits cozily in front of the hearth. When we are together we are happy. Love and warmth fill our hearts. In my mind I’m wishing about my family- to be together, to love and to forgive. I wish health and happiness for many years on. Then I’m wishing about the world- to be better, no wars and misery. People to be kinder to each other, more understanding and happy. Then, Christmas fire glistens in my eyes and I fell that my wishes are becoming true and every person and creature hear my appeal to a better world. Plamena Peeva, 4 th grade
