If I heard jingle bells getting closer I would activate the anti-Santa defense grid. This is just a bunch of wooden stakes around the house with four turrets. Yep, thats what I would do.

If I heard bells off in the distance, and they were getting closer, I would go back inside and get a sniper rifle to scope out what that annoying sound is.

When I think of winter I think of light blue or maybe dark blue. When I think of the summer I think of red and orange because those color reminds me of something hot. My two favorite colors are blue and purple I like red also. Those are what think and like about my colors.

Some colors that tell me it is winter are fall colors and white snow. Colors that tell me it is spring are bright colors. I like winter colors more becaues the colors start to turn into fall and i think that looks so pretty and colorful.

The bells seem to b giting closer and closer. It sounds lke there coming out of my room and befor I could open the door my brother comes out telling me that he found the bells from last years christmas. I get so mad at him for making all that sound out side my room. I start chasing him around that house and start to get back at him. It just truns out that all it dose is get him to come after me latter.

One night I am asleep in my bed. Suddunly, I hear the sound of jingling bells off in the distance. The bells seem to be getting closer and closer. i go outside to see what is going on. In front of my house I see a small sled all gold and white drawn by two white stalions. It apears to be magical. when I sat down the horses flew and started talking. they told me that they would take me wherever my heart disieres. All I have to do is jingle the bells they gave me.

A winter color is blue and white that is what really reminds me of winter. And a color for the warm weather would be red or orange. Out of those 2 I would have to say warm weather is the best even though blue is my favorite color.

The color blue reminds me of winter because you can see the sky in the winter. in summer the color orange reminds me of summer because in the summer you see more sun longer and the sun is an orange color in the evning. I like blue the most it also reminds me of the sea and I wish one day to live next to the sea.

If I heard jingling noises and they were getting closer I would go crazy. The reason I would go crazy is because it would make me think someone is coming but I don't know who. If I were able to imagine who I want to be making the jingleing noises I would want it to be my best freind Juan saying it is christmas get your butt up. Then I ould be so happy I would pobaly have a heartattack.

At the last second you dive into your emergency shelter just then you see a blinding flash of light and then it is completly dark and you realize that someone or something launched an artillery barrage and unleashed a disease called S.G.D.S and this disease bloats and deforms and eventually killing the person ending humanity as we know it
