Yesterday my 9-year-old son Alec asked me if he could write a Christmas story on the computer. I was a little apprehensive about the idea because I know how this kid’s mind thinks. But how could I say no to my son who wants to express his creativity through writing?! So, I said, “Ok, but there are two rules to follow: 1. Do not email the story. 2. Be appropriate.”
I was sure after rule number 2, he would change his mind. But he was still excited so I went downstairs and let him do his thing. After about 25 minutes, he came downstairs and handed me a sheet of paper with his story on it. I was certain the title would be something like “Santa’s Elves Declare War and Take Over the World”, or “All girls belong on Santa’s naughty list”.
To my surprise, his story was nothing like that. So here, I give you Alec’s Christmas story:
