A Miracle From Santa!
                                              by Hayley F.

      One hazy December day a little girl named Judy was woken up by the sounds of bells and laughter.  Her family was getting ready for Christmas once again.  Judy was a cheerful, intelligent little lady.  Every year for Christmas she asked for the same old boring stuff!  (A Dictionary, Encyclopedia, or a Book) However, this year she wanted something more because she had been extra good all year!  She wanted snow!  She lived in Florida so it was an impossible request that would take a miracle.  Judy got dressed and went downstairs to the living room.  She saw the sight of the biggest most glorious tree she had ever seen and gasped.  Her heart was filled with a million smiles. 
      “So, do you like the tree?” mom muttered. 
       “Yes”, said Judy with a 100 percent smile on her face.  Judy told her
mom of the special gift she wanted and her mother laughed.
        Mom said, “ It will take a miracle, but miracles sometimes happen on Christmas Eve.”
        Judy yelped with excitement!  It was 7:00 A.M. and Judy was opening new and exciting gifts.  She got a baby doll, her very own make-up, and lots and lots of other wonderful things.
         It was time for bed and as soon as Judy layed her head down on her silk pillow she heard a thump, thump, thump!  She saw Santa Claus jumping out of the chimney, but apparently he didn’t hear her.   She swung over the window, and landed right in Santa’s sleigh.  Before she could get out, they were off and moving.  Judy could not let Santa know she was in his sleigh.  She knew if Santa found out she would be on the naughty list for life, but she had to tell him about her special request.
        “SANTA”, called out a voice in the back of the sleigh. 
         Judy was spilling out words, “Woe ho ho Santa slow down!”
         Santa was so surprised to see one of his best kids in the back of his sleigh.
         “What are you doing in the back of the sleigh?” Santa asked.
         “I had to tell you about the very special gift I wanted”
         “What’s that?” asked Santa.
         “SNOW!” yelled Judy. 
         “Snow!  Well, that’s clearly impossible here in Florida.” 
         Judy sighed.
         “Well, lets take you back home.”
         Judy nodded with a tear coming down her cheek. 
         Santa kissed Judy good night and said, “Have a happy Christmas.”                  The next morning Judy slowly went down the stairs.  She had a pile of gifts, bigger and taller than Mount Rushmore.
          “Let it snow, let it snow!” people were singing out in front of her door.  Judy went outside to see what was happening.  Judy screamed,  “Snow!”  Snow was truly falling from the sky.  The sky looked like it was a white blanket.  It looked as if the snow would never stop.  Judy ran back inside and saw a note on the door.

 Dear Judy,
     I thought about how good you were and how your heart deserved this          special gift.

“A miracle from Santa” said Judy, with a 1,000 percent smile on her face!
