Santa's Cookie Tray

 

Holly, Jolly and Sarah were packing the last gifts in the sled.  Only one last thing to do. Pick the elf who will present Santa with his special Christmas Eve cookies.

The elves played rock, paper, scissors to see who would get to help delivery the special plate.

Sarah won, this would be her first time.

She rushed to the kitchen. 

“How exciting, you’re our special helper,” Cook grinned.

“I’m a little nervous.” Sarah smiled back.

“Don’t you worry, just go slowly and everything will be fine.”

Sarah gently took the plate and started off for Santa’s office.

Carefully she went. Everything seemed fine when- Crash

The plate bounced and the cookies broke. 

“Oh no, what can I do now?” Sarah wailed.

“I’ll ask Cook for some icing and I’ll glue them back together.” Sarah went back to the kitchen and got extra icing from Cook.

Carefully she glued the pieces back together and rearranged them on the plate.

Knocking on Santa’s door, she carefully balanced the tray this time.

“Come in.” A jolly voice rang out.

“Here are your special Christmas Eve cookies,” Sarah said quietly.

“Oh my” Santa said, “these are the most beautiful mosaic cookies I’ve ever seen.”

“Oh no Santa, they are just normal cookies, I messed up and broke them all.”

“No, my child, you didn’t mess up, you brought me gorgeous cookies. They are special.  I would love it if you would carry my tray again next year.” “I’d love that too Santa.”

    Mosaic cookies sounds like a great idea! That's such a sweet solution from Sarah.

Little Acorn

Little Acorn Acorn was playing in the soft green grass when something bumped her head. Looking up, Acorn noticed that there were leaves falling from every tree.  Red, orange, yellow and green leaves gently fell.  While she watched, another bonked her nose.  Acorn felt afraid.  “The leaves are falling! The leaves are falling,” She screamed, as she ran home. Mother Squirrel sat on the porch, sipping tea.  “Mother, Mother, the leaves are falling.” Acorn yelled, flying up the steps. “Yes, I know it's Autumn.” Mother said, blowing at her brew. “Go play. Soon the weather will turn cold.” Acorn skipped back down the path.  As she stepped off onto the grass, she heard an unusual sound.  Crunch Crunch. “What is that sound?” There was only one explanation, “The ground is breaking, the ground is breaking!” Acorn screamed, running back towards home. Mom was still sipping her tea. “The ground is breaking...

Valentiny- Stolen Heart

Nathanial enters the classroom early on Valentine’s Day.   A plate of heart shaped cookies stares at him from the teacher’s desk. “Those cookies look good. I did miss breakfast this morning. No one will miss one cookie.” he quickly scarfs one down.   “Wow that was good,” he says sitting at his desk. His classmates start to come in the room. Nathanial looks around at everyone and, his stomach starts to hurt. “Someone is going to know I stole a cookie,” he thinks.   “Hi Nathanial, Happy Valentine’s Day,” Hannah says. “Um yeah, Happy Valentine’s Day,” Nathanial replies. “Are you okay? Your face is red.” “Yeah, I’m fine why do you ask? I didn’t do anything wrong.” “Guilty conscious?” She says turning around. “She knows,” he thought. “She’ll tell the teacher.”   Sweat starts to drip down his forehead. “Good morning class.” Teacher says.   “We’re going to pass out our Valentine’s and then we’ll do some classwork before snacks. Everyone, pull out ...

Montser Candy- Halloweensie Contest

  Monster Candy- Halloweensie Contest     It was dark and my mom and I decided to stop trick or treating and go home. Rustle, I heard when mom opened the door. “Did you hear that?” I asked.  “Was it a monster?” “No,” she replied. I saw a square shadow move across the room.  Wait, a bag of candy corn? Strange. I grabbed the bag, it wiggled, I opened it and peered inside. The candy corn peered back and it looked angry.  Halloween magic?  They were trying to climb out and get me. I tilted the bag back and opened my mouth.  They were angry, but yummy.
