It is a cold day outside. I am in my room and I drink a hot chocolate.

I want to snow, because

is December and Christmas is more beautiful with snow. I want to build snowmen and play
with the snow. I love to sing Christmas carols and stay near the Christmas tree. Every year I
wait for Santa Claus because I know he will come and will bring me a lot of presents.
Yesterday snowed and everything was white. I love winter holiday, because I do what I like
the most: I play in the snow, I go to the mountains, I listen to Christmas carols, I decorate my
Christmas tree and I receive a lot of presents. Merry Christmas everybody and a Happy New
Year!

At 11 o'clock on Christmas night I went downstairs to eat ice cream and sit on my special
hippopotamus chair that my grandma gave to me for my birthday. Then, suddenly, I heard
bells! I grabbed my scarf and started to run outside when I bumped into the Christmas tree.
The ornaments were everywhere! Santa, his reindeer, and his sleigh were almost gone! I really
had to see them! I ran outside, jumped into Santa's sleigh and sighed. Then Santa got into his
sleigh and said. "It is 12 o'clock at night. We must get you back to bed!" "Okay," I said. Then
Santa tucked me in and we said good night. Then, in the morning, I told everyone that I saw
Santa! Nobody believed me, but that was okay with me.

Noaptea n care l-am vzut pe Mo Crciun
Pe la unsprezece, n noaptea de Crciun, am cobort n buctrie s mnnc ngheat i am stat pe scaunul
meu n form de hipopotam pe care bunica mi l-a dat de ziua mea. Deodat am auzit clinchet de clopoei! Am
nhat fularul i am alergat afar, cnd m-am lovit de pomul de Crciun. Toate podoabele lui s-au mprtiat
peste tot. Las, c le strng mai trziu, mi-am zis. Apoi am clcat pe stiloul fratelui meu despre care spusese c l
costase un milion de dolari, dar dac ar valora aa mult, de ce l-ar lsa pe podea? Mo Crciun, renul su i
sania tocmai plecau. ineam mult s-i vd! Am alergat afar, am srit n sania lui Mo Crciun i am scos un oftat
de uurare. Atunci Mo Crciun a pit n sanie, i s-a aezat peste mine. Ouch!, am ipat. Oh, mi pare ru,
micuo! a zis el. Este dousprezece noaptea, trebuie s te ducem napoi n pat. Bine, am spus. Apoi Mo
Crciun m-a nvelit cu grij i ne-am spus noapte bun. Dimineaa am povestit tuturor c l-am vzut pe Mo
Crciun. Nimeni nu m-a crezut dar acest lucru nu m-a deranjat.
