He got a booster step and climbed up a Blue Spruces Christmas tree. The booster step fell down and Santa was on the Blue Spruces tree. A dog named Wobble had Santa's hat. The tree shook and some ornaments broke. The dog Wobble was between the tree and the fireplace. Wobble looked very happy. Outside it was snowing.

Santa went on but not without his milk and cookies. In the morning the children awoke and saw there presents. The children played with there presents all day.

Santa's Trouble
by Clark

Santa was in his sleigh thinking he would have no trouble at all. Well, he came to this house and when he got to the bottom of that rusty old chimney he saw a bulldog sleeping on the rug. But Santa just walked right past it, until he stepped on one of the bike horns that he had dropped. The dogs eyes opened! The dog started walking toward him! Then Santa stepped up onto a chair and grabbed onto the Christmas tree with the dog barking at him. Then the tree tipped over, with Santa laying beside the tree! The dog was just about to bite him when the dad walked in and said ''what's going on out here''? ''Oh, Santa I'm so sorry about that'' he said as he took the bulldog outside. Santa said ''thanks'' and went up the chimney. The End

Santa's Up A Tree
by D. P.

On December of 1999, it was snowing very hard. Santa went down an old chimney. And found something he knew he wasn't going to like. He saw a big German shepherd. It was a brown dog with black spots that didn't look so happy with Santa's visit. So Santa ran up the Christmas tree. And broke some of the very fancy ornaments! And knocked down the brown table that Santa's milk and cookies were on! When the dog heard the ornaments and table fall he got so scared he turned around and saw Santa sitting at the top of the Christmas tree. The German shepherd started barking with confusion he had never saw a man sitting on a Christmas tree. Then the dog jumped up and grabbed Santa's red hat. So Santa threatened the dog to give him back his hat. But with all the screaming and shouting Santa woke the children up. The children ran down stairs as fast as they could to see what was going on. Lucky one of the children named Emily saw Santa in the Christmas tree. And her dog with Santa's hat in his mouth. And Emily took her dog by the collar and gave Santa's back to him. Santa said to Emily ''your going to get extra presents this year Emily''. Then Santa thanked Emily and went up the chimney to get to his reindeer. Then Santa left to go to all the other children's house around the world. On Christmas morning Emily had a big surprise! All Emily's brothers and sisters were wondering why Emily got so much more presents then they all did. No one knew why except for Emily.

Santa's Problem
by Luke

On the night before Christmas Santa came down the chimney of Jimmy's house. Jimmy had a mom named Emily and a dad named Tommy had three dogs. When Santa came down the chimney he bumped into their three stockings. When he got out of the chimney he set down his bag of presents. At that instant Julie came in the room. Julie was a cheerful dog, but when she came to Santa ran through the room and stood on a nearby chair and climbed into the Christmas tree. The reason he did this was because he was afraid of dogs because the dog that he owned was vicious. Just then the other three dogs strolled in and surrounded the tree. At the same time he heard a he thought oh no somebody is coming and hid inside the Christmas tree right then the dogs ran into there cages and went to sleep. They did this because they realized it was Santa and if they didn't go to sleep they wouldn't get presents. Santa quickly got down and went about his work filling the stockings and putting the presents under the tree. When he was done Santa went up the chimney and then he and his reindeer took off and the last thing he said was " Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night".

The Hard Christmas For Santa
by Elliott

One snowy Christmas Santa was all ready too take off. When Santa did Santa went to the closest house. Then Santa landed on the roof. After parking his reindeer on the roof, he went down the chimney. The room was pitch dark. All of a sudden Santa heard a loud barking noise behind him! bark bark! So he jumped up onto a chare which fell over, then as quick as a flash he jumped up onto the Christmas tree. But Some of the ornaments fell off the tree. Then Santa noticed it was a brown dog. Then Santa climbed down the Christmas tree and took his hat from the dog. Then Santa fixed the tree, fixed the ornaments and put the ornaments back on the tree. After dropping off the presents Santa went back up the chimney and flew to the rest of the houses. But Santa still thought that the first house was the most exciting house of all the houses.

On Christmas Eve Santa sets off with his red sleigh and his wonderful reindeers.
Just then he saw a little town just a mile away. The reindeers landed on a black roof
with no chimney on top of the roof. So he used some magic. Suddenly he turned
into dust. When you count to two he was already there. When Santa put the
first present something crated. It was a ornament! It woke up Dusty the dog.
Santa jumped on the Christmas tree. the dog knocked over the tree. The dog ran to him and licked his face. Santa got up and dropped the toys around the tree. Then he went up the chimney and returned the presents.

Santa's Problems
by Joe

It was Christmas and Santa was in his workshop and he was helping pack up his sleigh. Then the reindeer started of the ground faster and faster through the sky. Then the reindeer stopped. Then Santa got out of the sleigh and went down the chimney with the bag of presents and when he got down a dog was asleep. Santa dropped the bag and woke up the dog and Santa ran to a chair and climbed up the tree and his hat fell of. When he got on the tree it started to shake and some ornaments fell of and Santa started thinking about how he was going to get out before morning. Then the dog gave him his hat and started sniffing the bag. Then Santa said, "stop" but the dog kept on sniffing the bag of Santa's gifts. The dog just wouldn't stop sniffing . Then Santa finally said "if you don't stop sniffing there will be no more presents ever again". So the dog stopped sniffing then went to Santa and the tree. Then he saw that Santa wasn't a robber and he was nice. The dog went back asleep. And then Santa delivered the presents and never had a problem again except for a couple. When he left the house all the gifts fell out of the sleigh and almost all the gifts broke so the reindeer stopped and helped Santa get the gifts back in the sleigh and took off the ground and went to houses delivering gifts. After he delivered almost all the gifts a blizzard hit and Santa's reindeer stopped and they tried to go but they couldn't. Then the blizzard slowed down and Santa's reindeer started again faster and faster. Then they stopped at the last house and went down the chimney and delivered presents and then a dog came and Santa jumped on the tree and his hat fell off and knocked a chair down and all the dog did was give Santa his hat back and go to sleep. Then Santa delivered the gifts and filled the stockings and turned to the chimney and left the last house. And told all the elves about all his problems delivering gifts. The reindeer fell fast asleep when they got home.
