See you all in class on Friday, 09/01!

It was another bitterly cold and frosty December night in the North Pole. A frozen blanket of snow lay deep and crisp on the ground. Jack frost had visited every home and had etched magnificent spiral patterns into every glass window. It really was the harshest weather that anyone could remember and it was two days until Christmas!

Santa Claus was extremely busy adding the finishing touches to his Christmas preparations. He was shortly about to deliver thousands of wonderful Christmas  presents to many excited children from all over the world. His elves were beginning to load masses of shiny gifts onto his sleigh and his brave reindeer were practicing their manoeuvres before the big day. Everything was coming together nicely ; Santa was very pleased with his team.

The big day had arrived. The elves' band started to play a march while Santa Claus was walking in front of them. He greeted Rudolf formally and then he opened his garage door. He turned on the lights and started walking slowly inside. He walked past his jeep, then his Lamborghini , his Ferrari, his Bugatti Veyron, his starship and at the end he stood in front of a heavy, metal door. Now, the elves were playing "Hark the herald angels sing", Santa's favourite Christmas carol.

Santa checked that no one was looking and entered the secret password. The door opened, but Santa stood there as still as stone. He couldn't believe his eyes! Suddenly, he cried "Nooooooooooo! Someone's stolen my sleigh!" Santa didn't know what to do! He told everyone the sad news and naturally they were all really upset. The elves started running up and down and soon everything was a mess.

Finally, Santa decided to call the police "Yeah, North Pole's police office? … Oh, Hello, John, how are you? … Fine thanks, but I've got a problem. You see, somebody has stolen my sleigh … What do you mean you're closed? … What do you mean everyone's home with their family? Well, I know it's Christmas … Oh, God! Okay, John, bye."

He thought for a while and then he activated his sleigh's tracking system. He didn't believe it would work, but he was surprised to see the red dot on the screen! Santa breathed a sigh of relief! He could track down his sleigh but…the signal of the sleigh came from another planet. In fact, his sleigh was in another solar system! It was at the star system of Alpha of Centaur.

"Hmm, that's strange" he said. But Santa didn't wait any longer. He went to his secret laboratory and turned on his stargate. He set his destination and jumped into the vortex. "Well, let's find this sleigh and save Christmas!" he said.

When he got out of the vortex he saw his old enemy Dark Santa sitting on his sleigh."You! How did you find me here?" Santa didn't reply. He pulled out his lollipop sword and said to Dark Santa " I believe you have something that belongs to me". After a firefight with snowballs and a sword fighting with lollipop sticks, Santa beat his enemy and returned to his base with his sleigh. But there were only 4 hours left to dawn.

"Aha! I have just the right thing!" Santa said. Once again, he knew exactly what to do!

His voice was clear and his tone strict through the microphones. "Elves get ready for operation T.P.I.C.H. ( Teleport Presents To Children's Houses) Put all the presents into the Freakin' Awesome Teleporter".

And so the presents arrived to children's homes on time and Santa managed to save Christmas.
