Week 14

Another year has gone by and everyone knows what time of year it is.  This time of year was Christmas and to many it can be a dream come true.  The smiles that it can put upon someone’s face can be an incredible feat of happiness.  Everyone can appreciate the feeling they get when Santa Claus comes to town, most everyone anyways.   This year was like any other for a young boy named Nicco.  Three years young, he really didn’t have many expectations or really know what to expect.  With great parents as he had, he knew something great was to happen.  He was told about this fictitious man in red dropping off presents to everybody’s house.  How could it be.  Well, it is.   Nicco’s house was just another stop and he was sure to get presents because of what a great kid he was.  The build up of Christmas is just as big as the actual day.  Nicco and his cousins actually getting together as families should.  Singing songs, decorating the tree, presents, and of course the winter weather which includes snowman and sledding.  As Christmas Eve was slipping by, Nicco prepared the night with by putting out cookies and milk.  He was so excited to see if Santa would really eat them.  He also left a carrot out for the reindeer.  As he fell quickly to sleep he possibly dreamed of many toys.  The next day arrived quickly and his eyes fluttered awake as he pounced on his parents.  The woke quickly to say in that high pitch excited voice, “Merry Christmas Nicco, I love you so much.”  They all gathered in the living room to what was to be a great day of family, presents, and playing.

  1. This sounds like MV, which is the idea for week 14 but I can't warm up to it somehow--seems like a straightforward 3d person narrative without much bite. Maybe Xmas material isn't supposed to bite!

    What's your second piece going to be about?
