THE CHRISTMAS MYTH

My name is Alexandria, my friends call me Alex for short, but I’m trying to solve this problem. My parents said Santa was real but my friend, Nicole, her parents said Santa was just a myth to make kids be good before the holiday, Christmas. Well me, myself, I think Santa is real, but what I want to find out if he is real or not. I’ve wanted to find out for years to see if he is a real myth or not. But for right now I have to go to bed. That night I had a dream, my friend, Nicole, and I were flying to the North Pole. When the plane landed we got off and we searched for the North Pole. We walked for hours searching for it, but we finally found it. We looked for buttons on it, but all we found was a piece of paper. On That piece of paper were directions. As soon as I was going to read it my alarm clock went off. I jumped up out of bed and went to get dressed. All day in school I keep thinking of what that note said. During all of my classes, I would set in the back to try to go to sleep, but the teachers would switch a person in the front seat and put me in the front and them in the back. When I got home I was more sleepy than I was when I tried to go to sleep in school. My parents weren’t home so I didn’t have to do any chores. I laid down to take a nap. I dozed off and my dream went right back to where it left of this morning. I was reading the directions and it said,

“Alex, go to your mom
and dad’s room,
and in their bathroom,
there will be a clue in the tub
and,
another clue!”

After I read the directions, Santa appeared and he said,

“Alexandria,
you will find your answer to your question.
When I was a boy, I found my answer,
and so will you…Alex…so will you.”

After Santa disappeared I jumped and fell off the couch, trying to catch my breath. After I caught my breath I jumped up and dashed off toward my parents bedroom. I nearly fell trying to turn into my parents bedroom, but right in the middle of the tub there was the note. There was also an airplane. The directions said,
“The airplane stands for
you to fly to the north pole,
get your friend Nicole to go with you
and tell your parents you will be fine,
your next directions will be waiting on you
at the north pole!
P.S. bring scissors and coats, Good Luck”

When I finished reading the note, I turned around and in the doorway was my parents. They ask me where I got the airplane and what was the note for. I told them I was on a strange, but it will be helpful, mission. I also told them I have to go to the North Pole. By now my parents were looking at me very strangely. They ask me why it involved the North Pole. I said, “because….because….because o-of S-S-Santa Clause.” They said, “HHUUHH!” they looked pretty confused. Well I had to tell them the truth cause if I didn’t Santa, if he is real, would give me a lump of coal and I didn’t want that. My parents thought about it for a day. Then that day turned into a week and then a month. Well after a month and a half they said I could go, only if I took Nicole. Well it worked, and all I have to do is get her parents to say yes. Well after they said yes I ran straight to Nicole’s house. When I made it to her house and told her the news about Santa and everything, she was in total shock, but good, happy shock. After she was un-shocked by the news we went downstairs to where her parents were I told her parents everything that has happened and where I need to go. Her parents thought it over like for 20 minutes and finally agreed. Nicole and I have 1 week to get ready and leave. My mom went to get us tickets for the plane today so we are going to start packing tomorrow. Well me and Nicole have packed we are heading to the airport now. When we get to the airport we go to the airplane that we are supposed to fly on. We finally reach the airplane and get on Nicole takes out her IPod to listen to it. I start to get mine out but then doubts about the whole trip. I tapped Nicole on the shoulder to ask her something. She turned her head and took her earphones out to listen. I said, “Do you think all that stuff that happened to me was just a joke?” Nicole replied, “ No! I mean, come on, the plane in the bathtub, the dreams that went on about Santa, and sure, of course I said he was make belief doesn’t mean I am right, does it?” I answered, “No, I guess not then, but what if I am just making myself dream those dreams?” Nicole stated, “How in the world would you do that?” I paused to think about it and said, “I guess your right.” Nicole interrupted, “You guess or you know?” That’s when it hit me……she was right do I know or do I guess. I replied, “I really don’t know.” That put a smile on both of our faces, then it turned into a giggle and then a huge laugh! After about five minutes or until our faces turned from bright red to our normal skin tones we both put our head phones in our ears and fell asleep. When I woke up the flight attendant was hovering right over my face, and boy did she have s-t-i-n-k-y breath, she was telling us that our designated place to land will be coming up in a few minutes. After the flight attendant left I woke Nicole up and turned off my IPod and gathered some of my stuff up. When our plane landed we grabbed our bags and got off the plane. When we got off we went to our hotel, The McGlothans Hotel and Luxury. We went in and checked ourselves in; our room was the 6th floor, room number 407. When we got to our room, we changed clothes and put on warm clothes like: undergarments, sweatshirts, sweat pants, two layers of everything. After that Nicole and I left to the North, it is in Antarctica where we are. Now we have been walking for two hours in the cold. Nicole stops and says, “Do you know where we are, or even going?” I replied, “Yes well, possibly not really.” Nicole gave me a funny look. “Ok, ok, I don’t know where we are or where we are going,” I said. After that we trudged on for at least ten minutes until I saw something poke up on the other side of the mountain. It was like a white, red, and blue ball coming up. Then all of a sudden the ground under all of us
