Our class loves Christmas! This year my students wrote all about important things related to Christmas that make it really special.

 The important thing about Christmas is making cookies. We decorate our house, open presents on Christmas Eve, and sing Christmas songs.  But the most important thing about Christmas is making cookies.

The important thing about Christmas is that it's when baby Jesus was born.  Elves makes toys for people, Santa brings me presents, and Santa lands on the moon with a BOOM!  But the most important thing  about Christmas is that it's when baby Jesus was born.
