                      Christmas Fun
   Every year on the first day of December, my mom, my dad, my brother and I all start decorating the house for Christmas. My dad puts up plastic people and animals in my front yard. The people and animals are all around a baby named Jesus, and some of you might know why. It's to celebrate the birth of Jesus! As my dad does that, my brother and I clean our rooms and put up little decorations, like paper snowflakes. My mom puts up the tree, but leaves the lights and decorations. After she is done with that she would usually put up little decorations such as, candles, giant nutcrackers, angels, etc. Once everyone was done with their jobs we would all put the lights and decorations on the tree. My brother and I also would put up a small tree in our rooms. My family would have so much fun decorating the house for Christmas, but the most fun of all would be on Christmas day spending time together laughing and just relaxing.

            The Last Book In The Universe
In this book, there is a boy named Spaz. Spaz was kicked out of his family unit, so he lives by himself. Since Spaz lives in Billy Bizmo's latch he has to do everything he tells him to do, or  else he gets canceled. One day Billy tells Spaz to rip off (steal) a old man named Ryter. On Spaz's way to Ryter's house, he meets Little face. Little face is just a little boy who has no home or family. Spaz doesn't know which house is Ryter's so he asks Little face to bring him to Ryter's house and in return he will get a choxbar (chocolate). Little face brings Spaz to Ryter's house and after he gets his choxbar he leaves. Ryter leaves his stuff by the door and says I've been expecting you.  Spaz is confused but takes the stuff anyway. Not long after that day Spaz meets a proov named Lanaya.  Lanaya gives Spaz edibles. Later that day, Spaz gets a message. Bean (Spaz's sister) is dying and wants to see him again! Spaz decides to go but runs into alot of trouble. He gets to see her and tries to save her. Lanaya, Ryter and Little face all help. If you want to know the end read the book.
        I recommend that you read this book, if you like adventure and action. If you like love stories or if you just don't like adventure or action, then I don't think that you would like this book very much. Personally, I loved the book! On a scale from one to five, I would give this book a four or four and a half. I gave this book that rating because it really gets you interested and gets you thinking, but some chapters were just talk that wasn't really important. Overall it was a great book and I hope you decide to read it! Happy reading!
