Christmas gingerbread is a tradition at the North Pole. A tradition is something special you do every year. At the North Pole, we have many Christmas traditions.
Mrs. Claus has traditions too. A special one of hers is to build a great big gingerbread house.
Everyone knows Mrs. Claus makes the best Christmas baking ever! She makes the best gingerbread ever too! Everyone at the North Pole knows when she is making it. You can smell it everywhere! Yum!
Everyone wants to help build the gingerbread house!
The pieces of gingerbread for the house are big. They are very big. Even bigger than an elf! The elves all have to lift together to put the pieces of the house together. Mrs. Claus makes a great big bucket of icing to glue to the pieces together.
Clumsy the Christmas Gingerbread man!
One year Clumsy was helping her with the icing. He climbed up on his ladder. The other elves held the gingerbread walls together. Clumsy reached out as far as he could with his big brush. He wanted to put icing on the gingerbread wall. He reached even further until… SPLAT! He fell off the ladder. He fell right into the great big bucket of icing!
When he came out of the bucket he was covered in icing and gingerbread. “Yum”, he said. “This tastes really good!”
And that is where Christmas gingerbread men came from! HHHOL!
Now isn’t that a funny story? Well, that is how Christmas traditions get started at the North Pole after all. 😉
Merry Christmas!
Santa Claus
P.S. Do you have any Christmas traditions you do with your family? Is falling into a bucket of icing one of them? (You can tell me about your Christmas traditions here. Or, scroll down to see what others have written!)
A right jolly old elf, in spite of myself. I love Christmas, children, the North Pole, Mrs. Claus, elves, reindeer, snowmen & the list goes on!

Santa, my parents told me that you would not bring me something if I don’t clean my sisters room but I told them “It’s not my mess it’s her’s” But I got nervous because I wanted presents for Christmas so I cleaned her room and now my sister thinks she the boss of me and she is 7 and I’m 11!!!! SHE’S 5 YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME!!!!

Me and my cousin Jasmine would often get the Same things for Christmas because we’re so alike (although Jasmine is much more crazy than me !) Jasmine is also five and I’m eight but it also really near my birthday!!! Please could you get her what she wants because she got a bit upset last year because you didn’t get everything on her list. You don’t have to worry about you not getting everything on my list but I only got two things on my list

Answer: Sharing and helping people if they are hurt
My mum always make me take my time when I open my presents on Christmas Day.So I can take time to reflect on what I have been given.:D
One of our Chritmas traditions is that on Christmas Eve, my whole family gathers together and my dad reads the Christmas story out of the Bible. We take time to remember who puts the Christ in CHRISTmas. And then we open 1 present only, and jump into bed, where visions of sugar plums dance in our heads! 🙂

Well, my Christmas tridition may not sound very special to some,or to others not that big. But,my Christmas tridition is having fun and being with others you love and care about!My school even has a very important message for all people;
“Mesure your life by what you give and not what you get!” It was made as a Christmas saying,but it was so touching saying,it is on all of the jonior and up shirts.Which I m a jounior so I will be reciving one too! Anyway,my family’s tridition is far off from falling into a bucket of icing!But it is still very important!(WINK*)
oh sorry I I was reading about the elves but they where not bad I’m just so sorry Oops
elves? please don’t be bad because it will make you be on the noddy list I’m not trying not to be mean but I’m just telling you that it could be better if you will get along be a good little elf be as good as can be it will be great if you will be good like as good as a prince! oh and I forgot this is what Santa says but this has to happen be good boy’s and girl’s

I wrote a story about you because Miss Morris, my teacher, told our class that we can write a Christmas Story. Well of course, there’s got to be a problem, so I wrote that you lost your naughty or nice list, but then you found it at the Grinch and Grunches house.
