“Ho ho ho, children of the world! Santa is coming to town!” said Santa Claus as he flew over the North Pole. “I have presents for all of you!” He was on his way to deliver gifts to everyone in the entire world! The last thing that Santa needed was a reindeer or snowman, because something better appeared before him – a t-rex with an ugly Christmas sweater on.

I knew it was coming. I�ve been waiting for this since the day he turned 18 and got his permit to drive. It was inevitable and I knew it would happen sooner or later, but I really didn�t think my son would do something so stupid on Christmas Eve. But of course he did � because teenagers are who they are � and we were all gathered around the dinner table when suddenly he ran in from outside, shouting �Mom! Dad! You won�t believe what just happened on our way home from visiting Aunt Julie!”

Santa had been walking around for hours, delivering presents to the good little boys and girls. When he gets back up to his sleigh, he realizes that it is missing! He then remembers that Mr. Claus was using it when he saw a T-Rex wearing an ugly Christmas sweater come out of an alleyway. Santa knew what would happen if children found out there was no Santa Clause so he sprinted over to the scene in order to save himself before it’s too late.

“Ho, ho, ho!” the loud jolly voice rang through the air. The sound of his deep laughter echoed off in every direction until it was impossible to tell where he had even come from. And then suddenly, out of nowhere a giant red sleigh came into view with Santa Claus at the reins clad in an ugly Christmas sweater that read “Merry T-Rexmas.”

“Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas!” Santa said as he opened the door to a home.

The house had a very cozy and Christmasy feel to it, with all of the decorations from floor to ceiling. There was also an elf-sized person sitting on the sofa wearing an ugly Christmas sweater that had dinos on it. “Hi there Mr. Claus, I can’t wait for you guys to come over!” The dino girl hopped off the couch and ran up close to Santa’s sleigh.

In a dark forest of gnarled trees, something stirred. The sound was so deep and rumbling that the ground beneath me shook. I looked around and saw nothing but eerie shadows and silhouettes of twisted branches. I began to feel like I was lost in a scene from some Christmas horror movie! That is until Santa stumbled out of the darkness, his beard as white as snow, carrying a big sack on his back. “Ho ho ho!” he said brightly as he spotted me standing there with my mouth agape.
