Holidays: Should people get pets for christmas or not?

We usually get toys for Christmas and sometimes we get a pet like a dog. But, should we be giving them animals for Christmas? Younger kids may want  a specific animal that is not possible to have and you've gotten them other pets just to please them.  Then you will feel bad for the kids because you can't get them that certain animal. Also, you shouldn't get them pets just to please or make your kids happy. You should think about it first before you buy another animal. You could end up having too many animals and not be able to live where you're living. Or, you would have to give away some of your pets and the kids will cry. You could try to convince the owner of your place or the complainers  to keep their pets. But, it is good to have pets for Christmas because the kids will be very happy. You should think about the type of pets they're asking for and if it is a good idea or not.

Dear Santa

This is a letter of a present I have wanted for many years but I don’t have the money to get it. It is a dog that I look at in my dog books. It is a bulldog that I want to name Georgia and these type of dogs cost too much money. Sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve this present, because my mom says that and I feel that she is right. I also feel sad for not appreciating the things I get and also not listening to my parents. But now I want to start over and listen to my parents and be a good kid. I also want to appreciate the things that my parents get for me. So if you can get this for me, even if I’m not the parent, I would still be happy because it would be a very surprising present.

Thankful

I am thankful for my family and the things they do for me. Like helping me with my homework and making me diner. Also when they buy me clothes. They give me a bed and warmth to keep me comfortable.

Halloween

Halloween is not that big of  a deal to me. But, I do like Halloween. It is like a celebration to me but celebrating the devil's birthday. The most fun thing on Halloween is getting all that candy so we can all rot our teeth out. It's like getting a confetti of candy. "YOU CAN ALSO" get to dress up like any ghoul or goblin on this earth. It could be a common one like "DRACULA!" Or, you can be a very rare creature like the "GRIFFON" and you can also be a super hero like "SUPER MAN!" But, thats all I have to say for Halloween and this "OOH, HA, HA, HA, HA.!!!!"

Patriotism

Where would we be without freedom? We wouldn’t be able to have our rights to do what we do today. We could not even say some of the things we say today (freedom of speech) or even go to school. We wouldn’t even be able to worship God in our own way. I think some people take these freedoms too far and try to make people follow what they believe. Remember.....FREEDOM!

Ralph Fletcher's Narrative - Last Kiss

I like the way they described how the boy's parents stop giving him good night kisses. It's cool how they make his dad slowly stop giving him kisses over time. Even his mom, is to me, surprisingly, stopping or slowing down on giving him kisses because the mom thinks their kids will never grow up and will always be there little baby.

Childhood

I miss being little because I got all the attention. I can remember spending time with my grandfather that I called pop-pop. He used to call me peanut-butter. When I think about it it makes me happy and sad because he passed away and I miss him so much. I would go to grandma and pop-pop's house and play with all the toys they used to keep for the grand kids. If there were a way to go back in time, I would do it all the time.

Bull Dogs

The dog I have always wanted is a bull dog. I think they are so cute the way their faces look when they have an underbite. The way they wobble when they walk is so cute. I have read that they can be very stubborn and have a strong bite. But, I will train her well. I have decided to name my bull dog Georgia when I get one. I am going to be really excited when I get my bull dog named Georgia.

Middle School

Middle School is different than I expected. I thought it would be a little tougher. It seems easier to get to class than I thought, although it is a rush to get to class. Art, Health, and English are my favorite classes of the day. All the different binders and notebooks are overwhelming, but I'm sure I'll get used to it!
