Santa’s Red Hat
Santa's red hat
It is fun to work here at the North Pole. We all love it. But sometimes it can be hard for the elves.
Do you know what it’s like to feel like you are not good enough? Well sometimes our elves feel that way too.
One day I checked on the elves making toys. There were elves making toy robots with red lights. There were other elves making shiny flutes and drums. Great work!
Then, I saw Mouse the Littlest Elf sitting in the corner all alone. She looked so sad!
I asked her what was wrong. She told me that she had tried to make a shiny robot with the other elves. It was too hard. The buttons would not work.
She told me she tried to make a flute. But it would not make a sound.
Mouse looked so sad.
“You don’t have to be good at making those toys, Mouse!” I said. “What do you like to make? What things make you smile?”
Mouse thought about it. Then she showed me the scarf she had on.
“Well, I made this, but it’s just a scarf.” It was a very nice, red scarf. It looked very warm. It had puffy white balls on the ends like snowballs.
“That’s great!” I said. “In fact, I need something warm for my head while I fly!” Mouse smiled a great big smile and told me that she could help me!
From that day on, Mouse makes me a new red hat with a white puff like a snow ball, for every Christmas. And she is wonderful at her job!
And now you know why I wear my famous red hat!
Merry Christmas!

I never really knew why you had a hole suite. maybe the next time you tell a story like this you should tell about the suite so we know the whole thing instead of just the hat?

I’m good at singing and dancing. I’m mostly good at ballet and singing. I sing about my feelings and sometimes songs just pop in my head. It is cool because whenever I have a cool idea and it is quiet time I sing it out loud and I just want to be alone to sing it.

What I am good at and makes me smile is helping others. Also, making jewlry. Helping others is fun and around Christmas time gives me and the people I help Christmas spirit. I make jewlry so I can sell it and make a profit such as the free enterprise system. It’s also fun to see people when they smile at my jewlry and when I help them. I’m also good at playing with my friends. It makes me smile to see them smile!
After all you don’t have to be good at the things your friens or family are as long as you are happy with what you are good at.
December 5th, 2011 at 4:47 pm
I am good at baking Christmas Cookies. I smile when they look prefect. I sure do love the holidays. Santa I loved the go cart you brought me last year. Hope you have a safe flight on Christmas Eve.
Love Kaylen
