THEODORA GIANNAKOU

Once upon a time there was a girl named Maurice. She was a very beautiful and smart mermaid. She had a long blue-green tail and nice shiny purple hair. Marika’s mom and dad were sick. She had to do all the work. Hunt for food, go to work and take care of her parents. She was sad because she couldn’t do everything on her own. That same night a magical fish told her that he would grant her one wish. And then with a big smile on her face she wished her parents to become nice and healthy. They were forever happy.

When I was five years old I had an adventure, a Christmas adventure.

Hey mum, when does Santa Claus come to our house? He comes in the night when you sleep. I can’t wait till tomorrow mum. If you wait until tomorrow, you get two toys for Christmas. OK? Ok mum.

I couldn’t wait until tomorrow so I jumped from my bed and I went down. There was a present under the Christmas tree. I read the ticket. It had my name on it. I opened the present. This present was a mystery present. It had a button. I pushed the button. A paper jumped from the mystery present. The paper wrote: Close your eyes and hang on to me. The mystery present could fly! I couldn’t believe it. I flew with it to the North Pole. In the North Pole there was a small village, Santa Claus’s village. The mystery present stopped and went down I shouted Aaaaaa! There was a lot of snow in the village. I looked for Santa Claus. At last I found him. Hello, are you really Santa Claus? Yes, little boy. He gave me my “real” present and he took me with his sleigh to my house.

A long time ago there was a solitary child. He didn’t have any family and any money. The child worked but he didn’t have a lot of money. The child loved people very much. He lived in a quiet village in a very very old house. His friends from the village visited him there. This winter was very very cold. There was a lot of snow at his house. On Christmas Eve the child wrote a letter to Santa Claus and then a good fairy visited the child. The fairy read the letter with Santa Claus. The child hasn’t got any money to buy presents, colorful lights, and decorations for the Christmas tree and hasn’t got any money to buy food. The fairy gave the child money, food, presents, decorations, colorful lights and a new house. This is a very good Christmas!!!

Two years ago on Christmas Eve there was a lot of snow everywhere. It was a very cold winter but there were many people put of their houses to buy Christmas presents. There were a lot of cars everywhere. Me and my brother went to sing Christmas carols. Suddenly we saw a hurt puppy. I closed my eyes and I wished for the puppy to be alive. My brother cried and cried. We looked around us. Nobody cared for it. We went near it. We saw that it was alive. We must quickly do something. Soon it was in my hands. We arrived home half an hour later. Our parents were very proud of us. We were heroes. My father and cleaned and cared for its leg. It was very hungry. It drank milk. It went in front of the fireplace. My brother and I decorated the Christmas tree and we tried to find a beautiful name for the puppy. Finally we gave it the name “Lucky”. This Christmas Eve was its lucky day. I helped my mummy to make and bake cookies. My daddy went for the Christmas presents. When he arrived home he put the presents under the Christmas tree. The house was full of colorful lights and decorations. That evening we all were very happy. We laughed, danced and sang around the brilliant Christmas tree. My puppy was very happy too. I think I was its Christmas angel that year. I believe that everyone has got a Christmas angel. Happy New Year to all!

This year on Christmas Day we went to my village Skala. We stayed here for three weeks. There was my mum’s family, my grandma, uncles, aunts and cousins. My dad and I went to the forest to find the Christmas tree. My mum cooked the dinner for Christmas day. Christmas Eve all the people came to the village center. Here we all lighted the big fire and we exchanged presents. New Year’s Eve my dad and I went to the forest to cut wood for winter. On the mountain we saw a man and his family. The man was a shepherd and finding wood for the winter too. This shepherd was very poor and lived in a very old and small house. We told him to come with us for New Year’s Day. New Year’s Day my mum cooked the vasilopita. We put the coin in the vasilopita and waited for the man and his family. My dad and my brother bought presents for the man’s children. At nine o’clock the man came to our house. We sat at the table and ate., my dad started the fire. Finally we exchanged the presents and the family was very happy. My Christmas angel was my mum.

One of the children was sick. The other two children decided to work in a bakery shop to earn some money. By Christmas Eve the children have earned enough money.

Letter to santa claus

It was Christmas day. There was a very poor family. There were three children. The dad worked very hard. Mum didn’t have work. They lived very humble but they were happy. They lived in a small old house. The house was in a village in a forest. There were not many people there. The winter was very heavy. One day the father went to cut wood. It was very cold. He cut a few and came home. The next day his son became seriously ill. The holidays are coming and their dad had suffered an accident and was not working. Their oldest son was very ill. Now the other two boys needed work. On Christmas Eve, they sent a letter to Santa Claus. Instead of asking for gifts and toys, they asked for their dad and brother to be well. On New Year’s Eve their dad and brother became well.

The old man and the woman

A long time ago there was an old man and an old woman. They were a lovely family. They had no children and no relatives. They lived in a small wooden house in the forest with their animals. Their cats and their dogs. This winter wasn’t a very cold winter but it was a very ugly winter with rain. The old woman was sick. The old man wanted to help her. He invited a lot of doctors to look at her but the old woman was very sick. The old man was very sad and he started crying. He cried but he helped her. It was Christmas Eve and the old man decorated the Christmas tree and talked to his wife but the old woman was dead. So the old man started crying and screaming. He couldn’t believe it. He loved her very much. He looked at her and he shouted “ I love you” but she couldn’t hear him. The next day was Christmas day. The children sang Christmas carols, the women cooked Christmas dinner and everybody was happy. But the old man was sad. He couldn’t eat or laugh or cry. He was alone. Someone knocked on his door. It was an angel. A very beautiful angel. The old man dreaded asking the angel who she was but he asked anyway. Who are you? I am your Christmas angel, I am your bodyguard. The old man smiled but the angel vanished. The old man slept and he was happy. The angel visited him again. Follow me said the angel. They flew and they arrived at a pond. The angel said magic words and somebody came. It was his wife. But she wasn’t alive. Your wife isn’t alive said the angel but I can make her alive again but I want something from you. I want your eyes. My eyes? Asked the old man, why? Because a little angel is blind and she needs your eyes answered the angel. The old man thought and said to the angel “ ok”. The angel said some magic words and the old woman was alive again but the old man was blind and he couldn’t see. After an hour the old man had his eyes. the angel wanted to test his love for his wife.
