//Do you know how some people tell all their friends they had the perfect Christmas? With great presents and family fun. Well my Christmas adventure was on those same lines. Except for one thing……. I was kidnapped by Santa Clause! I was even on the NICE list! Hopefully!//

//Hello I’m Shane Paxton; I’m eleven years old. I live in Aspen, Colorado and have three siblings. Two overconfident older brothers Casey and Jake and my prissy little sister Jessie. Sadly I don't get to see them often. Casey and Jake live with my dad and since my mom is always working. Jessie lives with my grandma Norma. I jump from house to house and the only time I ever get to see Jake, Casey or Jessie is at holiday or birthday parties. And it's really starting to get to me. I barley ever get a good night sleep because of it. The only time I sleep well is when my tears flood my eyes and I'm forced to. I'm about 12” inches short for my age and I have these insane pointy ears and get hassled by the bullies at my school for it. My parents are divorced (which is the icing on the cake for my sleep) but I try to hang on to all the happy moments we had together, If I could remember any. I try to keep my mind straight with my affinity for sports especially baseball. The only reason I tell you all of this is because my adventure on Christmas Eve 2008 changed ALL of it! It began like any other Christmas Eve; snowflakes were falling and painting the town white. My friends and I were having our routine discussion about what we wanted for Christmas.// “//X-Box 360,”// //Andy Langford screamed out.// “//Some new baseball gear,”// //Marcus Keen shouted!// “//World peace,”// //Samantha Simi (the girl with all the petitions) announced. “What about you?” Marcus asked me since I was quietly, gazing at the old Lincoln Memorial Statue next to the middle school.// “//I think I just want Jessie to have have great Christmas. Also I want her to get many eye-opening gifts from Santa!”// //That's when everyone broke out in laughter and couldn't stop.//“//What's so funny” I asked.// “//You believe in Santa Clause, ha ha ha!”Marcus replied holding back tears.// “//Of course, why wouldn't I?” I mentioned in despise.// “//Because he's not real.” Andy answered.// “//Ya he is! He comes down your chimney and places gifts under the tree. Who else would do that? Your parents? Yea right.” I announced in frustration. “I'll prove it!”// “//How?” Samantha asked.// “//I will stay up and wait for Santa with my video camera. I'll catch him on tape then bring you guys the proof the next morning.” I answered with a crude expression on my face!// “//Is that a bet I smell?”Andy spoke up.// “//Oh it's on. Lets say if I get the proof you have to run around the school in the nude!” I pronounced.// “//Deal” Andy answered before I could even finish. “Who knows I might even get on the news because of it!” I squalled while walking away.// //The bet was on and Shane knew jolly old Saint Nick would show up.// //That night when my family was at rest I crept down into the living room wearing nothing but this elf costume my grandma got me. And I didn't want to hurt her feelings so I put it on. So I waited..... and waited...... and waited, until my eyes slowly started to fall like rocks and my neck started to get heavy. Then, I yawned while slowly lifting my arms, then I fell fast asleep.// //BOOM! CRASH! BANG!// “//What was that?”// I //yelped while zipping up.// //That's when I saw jolly Saint Nick placing gift under the tree.// “//Santa, you do exist! I knew you did!”// //Santa didn't hear much the only thing he did hear was his name being called out.// “//Oh hello there Martin what are you doing in here? Your supposed to be at the factory.” Saint Nick peeped out.// “//Alright Martin, that was the last house lets head home.”// //That's when Santa gripped me with one arm, jumped throw the roof out the chimney.// “//Santa wait I'm not Mar...”// “//Hush up Martin there is no time for chit-chat” Then Santa placed me on Rudolph and off we went!// //The ride to the North Pole was pretty dramatizing (I was in shock) and Rudolph's nose was as hot as fire. It burned my bottom!// //The only thing I could tell myself was// “//Don't look down, don't look down.”// //And you know what I did? I looked down. “Ahhh.” I shouted. I started to hyperventilate, I couldn't breath, my palms got sweaty, I even almost fell off! Luckily Rudolf fur had a really good grip for some strange reason I will not speak of!// //When we arrived at Santa's Workshop I couldn't believe my eyes. Colors of red and green all around, snow falling at every turn, elves making toys of all types while laughing and giggling. It was the most amazing sight I had ever seen in my entire life (eleven years). But I was still very afraid and I was probably one billion miles away from my house. So I grabbed my elf costume and ripped it off only to realize I was naked next to Saint Nick. Luckily Santa realized I was a some what of an average boy (I mean man). So he handed me a gift inside there were jeans and a sweat shirt that I put on in the blink of an eye.//“//Ho ho who are you?” Santa asked.// “//I'm Shane Paxton sir.” I replied. “What are doing here young man?”// “//Well it all started when I was born or I guess the invention of man kind is why I am here.”// “//No, no, no why are you here at my Workshop?”// “//Oh, well you see sir I made a bet with my friends because they said you weren't real. But I told them that you are real so the bet was if I got proof of you this kid named Andy has too run around the school naked! So when I was waiting up for you, you mistook me for an elf. That is why am here!”// “//Son that is one of the most rhetorical stories I have ever heard! And I fly all over the world in one night on a red nosed reindeer named Rudolf!”Santa raised his voice.// “//How do I get back?”// //I asked while a tear was coming to my eye. I was afraid// “//I'm sorry sonny boy but you can't get back until next Christmas. When the spirit of the holiday is at its highest.// “//Noooooooo!” I started to weep and my tears felt like waves smacking the ground!// “//Well there is one way.” Santa spoke.// “//What? I'll do anything.”// “//There's a tree in the center of the North Pole if you get to it, grab the yellow glowing star and make a wish. But there's one problem.”// “//What would that be?”// “//The tree is 200 feet tall with 7,000 ornaments and sequins on it. You will have to concoct a plan.”// “//I must admonish you the climb could be fatal.” I shook my head in agreement.// //That night I stayed up till 11:47 thinking how I could glide my way up the tree. “I got it!”// //I screamed. “I'll use the ornaments to help me get up the tree faster.”// //That night I couldn't get any sleep. I was to worried about the negative things that could happen to me.// //What if I fall at one-hundred, fifty-five feet? Or I could get lost in the blistering cold and never returned. I tried to shack out the negative and think about the positive. That's the most important thing, that I have a good mind set!// //11:39 it was time. I had to leave for the tree.// //The walk was gruesome! It was icy cold, -23 degrees out and I got frost bite! Not great combinations! But now I was here. The tree looked like it could be a giants Christmas tree. And now I'm looking straight up as it was towering over me! I rolled up my selves and began to climb. I started to run out of breath, my lips began to get chapped and my throat began to kill. But I had to keep going and nothing could get in my way (except for the 7,000 ornaments)! It took many hours but it all paid off after finally seeing the gleaming star that was brighter then the Sun. I reached out to try to grip its beauty then.... “I got it!” I screamed. “But I'm loosing my... my.... my.... balance!” I began to fall to my DEATH. The worst part was I came so close to. But look at the bright side I got to ride Rudolf! I went to Santa's Workshop! I got the wishing star that could save me.. (I was hit with reality at that moment). “The wishing star” I screamed. It can bring me back home!” So I placed the wishing star near my mouth and said “I wish was back home, I wish I was back home.” Then a swirl of flashing lights spun around me in whirlpool like fashion.// //I was back home now just waking up from my nap waiting for old Saint Nicholas. That's when I realized it was all dream. The next morning when I awoke my parents were looking over me while smiling at each other. I asked them what they were doing and they said “It's Chrisms silly.” “No I mean what are you two doing together you despise each other.” “No we don't we have been married for twenty nine years!” Then I saw Jake, Casey, and Jessie opening presents together. I don't know what happened but I think I have a guess. Jolly Old Saint Nick gave me the one gift I always wanted. A loving family. That does many things for eachother. Finally, things had changed for the better!// //But up above Santa kept saying over and ovver “I can't believe that he got the Star. So I had to grant him another wish!”// //Shane's Christmas Break couldn't have got any better I swear..... until he remembered the bet and had to run around school is his underwear!//
