One Starry Christmas Night .

On one starry Christmas night, I wokeup from my bed and stared out the

window.

It was a very special night which is

Christmas Eve, and so I was waiting for

Father Christmas to come.

I really wanted to meet him, but every

time I tried I would fall asleep.

And yet I heard a jingling sound far,

far away.

I had always knew that Father

Christmas is busy, but I wished he couldhave his time to talk with me.

Some times in my dreams, I see

reindeer and Father Christmas.

Everyone thinks that Father Christmas

is a person who wears hats and santa

clothes and gives gifts to your parents to

put it under the Christmas tree when

everyone is asleep.

Anyhow I believe that it is true and the

jingling bells are coming from Santas

sleigh.

And yet it was because I saw reindeer

in the sky pulling a sleigh.

Can He Really Be Father

Christmas?

I was so shocked that I nearly fainted.

It was Father Christmas!

Was he real?

Yep, it was the real Santa on my

chimney.

He had a large red bag with presents

and a sleigh.

There were also reindeer, Leroy,

Fireball, Pablo, Olive, Clarice, Dasher,

Prancer, Vixen, Cupid, Comet, Rudolf,

Donner, Blitzen and Dancer.

I ran out to meet them.

I was so thrilled that I ran outside the

door inside my pyjamas.

But actually, when I opened the door,

Santa and I were both so surprised that we

stared at each other for a long time and

silence filled the room.

When I was about to break the silence,

Santa clapped his hands on my mouth and

whispered Shhh! in a stern voice.

I stayed silently waited until Santa

brought me out of my house.

And the thing that surprised me the

most happened.

It was right in front of me.

I gave Santa a slight look and Santa

beemed.

What! To The North Pole!?

The thing that amazed me the most iswhen Santa showed me his sleigh with 9

reindeer and a big present bag that was

full.

The sleigh was as big as a giant, and

the reindeer is as big as a tree that had

lived for 2,000 years.

Then Santa asked Will you go to the

North Pole for a visit?

I could not resist and climbed aboard

the huge sleigh next to Father Christmas.

Santas reindeer and Santa weredifferent than story books.

11/32

Santa was wearing sky blue instead of

red and the reindeer were all red nosed.

It was very different, but I still liked

Santas kindness and his reindeer sleigh.

Then I struck a question to Santa and

Santa said It is because you might reveal

my true identity. So I was afraid of that.

I was very shocked by the answer!

He was afraid?!

But knew his mind at kept quiet for the

rest of our journey towards the North

Pole.

Wow! Its the Northern Lights!

We arrived at the North Pole in 30minutes later than I expected.

It was so chilly in the North Pole and I

shivered a lot.

Santa gave me prepare a wool coat, a

pair of fur boots, and deer fur pants with a

chestnut colored cotton sweater.

Then Santa said, Look, Julia. Do you

like the Northern Rainbow like colored

lights?

I was too into the light to answer but

Santa knew my answer would be Yes, Ilove it!

10


14/32

Then together at the beautiful lights

near each other.

I looked at the night so into the stars

and the Northern Lights and suddenly the

light disappeared!

Santa said, They only appear at

Christmas Eve at 4:00 am in the

morning.

I was disappointed but I was once

happy again as I, Julia Kweon, entered

Santas beloved workshop in the middle

of the North Pole.

I saw little elves next to Santasworkshop preparing a Christmas tree.

It was a beautiful sight.

Santas Beloved Workshop

Santas workshop was huge.

There were elves that made chocolates,

sweets, stuffed dolls, clothes, shoes, hats,

videogames, books and other toys.

After that, I went the very end where

there was the house of Santa.

Santa went to his wife and said,

Dearie, a visitor arrived.

Very slowly, Mrs. Claus got up and

told me her name which is Mrs. M

(Monica) Claus.

I asked Can I have a tour?

She said, My pleasure, Deariest!

13


17/32

And took me up to meet the elves.

One of the favorate elves of Mrs.

Monica Claus was Monicia the elf.

She is a girl elf with long dangling

yellow hairs and Carnery shaped pin on

her head.

Once I finished touring with Mrs.Monica Claus, I asked her for food

because I was very, very, very, very

hungry.

I was eating rapidly when I heard

something.

Uh, Oh, This isnt so good.

Lunch Time Is Horrible Today!

Ding! Dong!

Ding! Dong!

Ding! Dong!

Ding! Dong!

The church bells rang out the North

Pole.

Oh, No! My parents will be worried!I

thought.

I ran to Santa and told him my trouble

but he said Not to worry, Julia. I havestopped time.

17


21/32

I was puzzled at first, but I figured out

that Santas have special powers to domagic.

So I played at the workshop all day

long.

Then suddenly, I asked Monicia, Can

you pull the sleigh?

She said Of course!

So I told her Monicia, Can you bring

me home?

Ok she said.

Then we flew of into the night.Santa woke up while Monicia and I

were flying to Daejeon, Korea.

He went to his workshop but was

startled by a note that said :

Dear Santa Clause,

I am leaving. So sorry.

My Sincere apologies, Julia Kweon

Home, Sweet Home!

I rode on Santas sleigh with Moniciathe elf.

We soared into the sky which had pale

with clouds leaving Father Christmas and

Mrs. Claus behind in North Pole.

I was a bit sorry for them, but I was

happy once again as I reached my house.

As a farewell, I made Monicia a

snowman that looks like Monicia and she

was so thrilled that she even kissed me!

At last, Monicia drove away with the

reindeer on a sleigh after I said Goodbye! and petted all the animals.

24/32

Then, when they left, I went upstairs to

sleep in my cozy little bed in mybedroom.

There, I had a good dream and a bad

dream.

The first one was a good dream, but

the second one was a bad dream.

I hope the first one is real, but in the

other hand, I hope the second one never

happen.

I said that all for Father Christmas the

Santa Claus we all know about!

The Good And The Bad Dreams

The first dream was Good news!

It is about Santa working so well the

elves and Mrs. Monica Claus were so

proud of him.

They helped him work out his

problems and made a happy family.

I wish that would happen someday or

today.

My second dream was called Santas

measles.

Mr. Claus has come down with

measles and we are closing the shop. We,

elves, are about to loose work! cried

Monicia.

23


27/32

The elves had a surprised look on his

face and one of the elves asked Monicia ifSanta is about to die.

She said Yes!

And the workshop of Santa has been

perished by a truck forever and from that

day on, Santa died and Christmas was

coded forever and so on.

And I hope this never ever happen as

long as people live on earth.

The Happy Endings With A

Surprise!

||: Jingle Bells

Jingle Bells

Jingle All The Way

Oh What Fun It Is To Ride

In A One Horse Open Sleigh :||

The next morning, my family was in

the kitchen singing Jingle Bells while

cooking and eating breakfast.

I went down stairs and asked under the

tree for presents and there was a note

under Christmas tree!

26


30/32

It read :

To my dear Julia,

Are you having fun there?

If you want to come over again at

Christmas, wait until 12 am in the

morning while everyone is asleep.

Then I will come for you.

Yours Truly,

Santa and Monica Claus.

All about the Author and the Illustrator

Julia Kweon

Hello, Friends.

My name is Julia Kweon and I am 10 years old

and a third grader now.

I always dreamt of being an author and an

illustrator and I like drawing.

How I became an author is because my parents

and teachers told me I was talented in writing

story books.

Since I like Christmas, I wrote it in January

31th 2010.

I love to think and create stuff.

When I thought about Christmas and Santa, I

thought of going to the North Pole and again

returning.

I think this book is my imagination brain

stormed.

I hope you enjoy it.

Farewell, Everybody!~
