Rules for this exchange:
· Once or One - Every time the word One or Once you pass your gift two times to the right meaning you skip ONE person.

ONCE(2times to the right) upon a time, a long time ago, Santa got very sick at Christmas and couldn't deliver all the gifts to children all over the world. So he called up his top elf CROSSY (across from you the circle).Let me tell you the story of how CROSSY(across from you the circle) saved ONE(2times to the right) Christmas long ago. First of all, CROSSY(across from you the circle) was not a CROSS(across from you the circle) elf at all. Actually he was a rather happy elf. That's why he was in charge of all the elf's. Santa told CROSSY(across from you the circle) he needed to deliver the gifts this year and he should take LEFTY the elf with him. Being the good elf that CROSSY(across from you the circle) is, he took LEFTY and got busy packing the sleigh RIGHT away. RIGHT before it was time to leave on Christmas Eve, CROSSY(across from you the circle) and LEFTY went to Santa to get last minute directions. Santa told them you start RIGHT off by delivering in the first time zone that's at midnight. CROSSY(across from you the circle) was taking notes and LEFTY just nodded his head and said, "RIGHT Santa, got it". LEFTY suggested that each elf take ONE(2times to the right) sleigh and
CROSSY(across from you the circle) could do the LEFT side of town, while LEFTY would CROSS(across from you the circle) town and do the RIGHT side of town. Santa thought LEFTY's idea was good, but might get confusing and said the reindeer know just what to do and using ONE(2times to the right) sleigh would be best.At that moment Mrs.

    The English did not speak Dutch, so rather than call St. Nicholas Sinter Klaas; they began to call him Santa Claus. In 1822, Clement C. Moore wrote a poem for his children about a Christmas visit from St. Nicholas. In this poem, he talked about a jolly old elf that came down the chimney and filled the children’s stockings. Many of Mr. Moore’s friends asked for copies of his poem and in 1823, one of these friends published the poem anonymously in the Troy, New York Sentinel.…

    The self published novella 'A Christmas Carol' was written by Engligh author Charles Dickens in 1843. It sold all 6,000 copies within 9 days of hitting the stands and was met with instant success and critical acclaim. It tells the story of bitter old miser Ebenezer Scrooge and his reluctant jouney to find the Christmas Spirit guided by supernatural visitors Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come. The effect the Charles Dickens writings had on this rapidly waneing Christian Festival was so far reaching and well received that many refered to him as 'The Man who Invented Chrristmas'. While Dickens didn’t technically come up with Christmas, he couched its spirit in a philosophy and centered it on an image that compelled people to see it and feel it as he did. “There seems a magic in the very name of Christmas,” writes Dickens, when “petty jealousies and discords are forgotten.”…

    The book was first published in 1843, a time when many of the wealthy people neglected the old Christmas spirit of charity. In addition, the Industrial Revolution had further done away with the simple pleasures of the season. Dickens’ intentions in writing ‘A Christmas Carol’ were not only linked to his childhood and sympathy for the poor, but he was also acting as a philanthropist by making an appeal to the rich people of society to mend their selfish ways.…

    When you think of Christmas you might think of presents, sharing, happiness, joy, and many other wonderful emotions. The authors carried out their message by describing a snowman who had a “Jolly happy soul…” (1). Imagine yourself during the winter playing around in snow with all your friends and a real life snow man that can laugh and play just like a human can; don’t you wish that could actually happen? (Rollins, Nelson 4) “…he could laugh and play…” That is exactly what the authors wants you to picture, whatever makes you feel radiant and cheerful; the only things is that he is making you picture everything in your mind. (Rollins, Nelson 6) “Running here and there all around the square”, can make me think of two things. One that it is extraordinary fun to play in snow. It can also make me go into deeper thought and relate that quote to how in Christmas you are always going to so many different places and houses at practically the same times. Whether it is picturing a snow man running around and playing, or picturing yourself just having fun; the authors have successfully delivered his message of…
