It is hard to believe Christmas Day is almost here. The past few months seemed to have passed in a moment.
This year I want to feature a story by my middle daughter, Makenzie, who is 8 and is a third grade student at Blackshear Elementary School. Kenzie has a vivid imagination and she wrote an original story for school but it needed some editing and a few tweaks to be readable.
The story goes... Everyone knows the story of Frosty the Snowman but do you know the other half. Let me tell you. The Grinch and Frosty met one Christmas Eve many years ago in a far away town and they have been friends ever since. Then one day a stranger visited the town who did not like Frosty. So the stranger did research and found out Frosty’s hat made him come to life. So the stranger took the hat and ran away and when the Grinch went to visit Frosty he found that he was just a regular snowman. So the Grinch decided to form a team to find Frosty’s magic hat. First, he called Cindy-Lou Hoo. The next morning they set out to search. After searching for what seemed like ages Cindy-Lou said, “I’m tired.” The Grinch said, “So am I.” But they still kept going and finally they reached a village, but it was not a regular village, it was an elf village, because they were very close to the North Pole. They asked if they could stay for the night and the elves said yes. The next morning the Grinch and Cindy-Lou happened to run into another friend, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Rudolph was pulling a sled that was very old and he offered them a ride. Soon after the Grinch and Cindy-Lou could not see very well because a snow storm had set in. They asked Rudolph if his nose could get any brighter? “No,” said Rudolph so he took them to the north pole. When they arrived Santa Claus was surprised to see them and asked, “What are you doing here?” The Grinch told him, “We are looking for Frosty’s magic hat.” Santa told them he had seen a hat fly by that very morning and a moment later Cindy-Lou said, “There it is!” After reaching the hat they found it was indeed Frosty’s magic hat, but it was stuck in a tree. Santa gave them a net and a toy air plane flew up next to the tree knocking the hat out. Cindy-Lou caught the hat just before it hit the ground. Santa and Rudolph returned the Grinch and Cindy-Lou to their village the next morning. They then were able to return Frosty’s hat bringing him back to life. However, the mystery of the stranger who stole Frosty’s hat continues...
