What do you wish for Christmas?

Some people wish to get a lot of gifts for Christmas. On other hand, there are the ones who hope to meet the person they love.  There are people who like to meet their relatives who live far away...and you, what do you wish for Christmas? Let's comment on this! :D

Let's Reflect!

                          It's almost impossible to remember Christmas and do not remember your childhood with all the gifts. That's what children usually wish for Christmas. However, there are kids who just expect to have food to eat for lunch and dinner.    The gifts do not express the real meaning of Christmas! I believe it really means giving our hands, helping the needy, working together, sharing our love and caring for people not only at Christmas, but all over the year. If you put it into practice in your life, maybe, you will find one of the true reasons of life.

Christmas is made of memories

Let's learn about Christmas and have fun! This movie's a great opportunity to get the Christmas' spirit.  

I can feel the Christmas coming with this song, and you?

What is better than listening to this song that brings up all your Christmas memories? All the family together, children playing, a good wine, cold weather, a beautiful Christmas tree, plenty of food and gifts. We can not forget the good things which Christmas teaches us. We should always be grateful for being healthy, having a family, money, food and a place to live.  Now it's time for making plans for the coming year.

On an isolated road around midnight, in upstate NY, a man and his girlfriend are driving. Suddenly a car approaches them from behind. "Pull over!" he says. The man shrugs and turns on a dirt road. He gets out and talks to the man. "What is it, babe?" the girlfriend asks, but she gets no answer. She shrugged and continued to browse through the different radio stations. Then she heard a crash "Babe?" she said hesitantly. She ran out of the car and saw her boyfriend's head bouncing back and forth on the radio antennae. The back lights were smashed in. Screaming, she goes to get her cell phone out of the car. As soon as she opens the car door she hears, "No use. . . No one will answer you.

This is what happened to me on a party when I was 9. I had my 2 cousins, my best friend and my best friend’s brother over at my house. We all went into the basement to start playing around. Then, my younger cousin starts screaming. We ask him what he saw and he says, “How many people do we have?” We respond 5 and he starts to cry. He says “someone rushed past you’re friend” to me. I look at my friend and he looks terrified. He says he felt cold down there. “I didn't  I said. I and my friend go down. We hear strange noises from behind the storage room door. My friend who is 10 has the guts to open the door. As soon as he opened it he ran screaming “A ghost grabbed at me!” We all run up again. I stared in complete horror at my best friend’s face. He was smiling horribly, his eyebrows down like he was mad. I slap him, back to his senses. I see something; I don’t know what, like a figure run down to the basement. We all agree not to go down there again for the rest of the night.

Short Horror Stories

All of the trick or treaters avoided the house on Halloween hill. The owners were really scary and only ever came out at night. It started when a boy called Josh and his girlfriend were ghost-busting  Josh’s girlfriend dared him to go up to the house. So off he went up the hill. The owners had gone out for their midnight shopping. He went down the stairs to the basement and just as he got to the bottom, he heard the front door open. He hid in one of the boxes. He heard footsteps on the stairs. He opened the lid slightly and saw the woman open a fridge and take out a bottle of blood. She then went up the stairs and closed the door. He got out of the box he was hiding in and turned to look at it. To his horror there in front of him were two coffins. Before long he heard them again. Josh froze in shock. He had to hide but could not move. The door opened and in walked the owners. They saw Josh straight away. They grabbed him. He screamed. Josh was never seen again.
