Christmas Eve by Taylor

Our ship rocked back and forth. The wind howled loudly through the night sky. Me and my crew were fighting the sea pirate Uncle Ocean.

“Arrg give eet back matey!” He attacked us because we stole his treasure, a big mound of stuffed animals. Gavin the Sea Soaker grabbed a plastic lightsaber.

“Never!” I grabbed a nerf bomb and shoved it into the rubber band slingshot cannon below the deck. I’m the Captain of this ship, and the names Bombshell. Gavin the sea soaker swung but the enemy Uncle Ocean dodged his attack.

“Ha! Miss.” He grabbed Gavin’s foot and he was in deep danger.

“Now’s my chance!” I lit the cannon and the rope sizzled burning off the string.

“Fire in the hole!”  Boom! It flew threw the floorboards making a hole in the ship. It flew across the deck heading for Uncle Ocean, Then he stepped back he was about to fall in the icy currents. He was leaning back, and just then a dark blurry shadow came from nowhere and took the impact of the cannonball. It was our beloved monster dog Lexi the Leaper! She could jump over ten feet high.

“How could you betray us!”

“BARK! BARK!  BARK!”

“Hey! Keep it down up there!”

“Sorry Mom!” We had to stop playing the game where we were pirates because my mom was super tired, and because she was working so hard this Christmas. Her cousin and her four kids came for Christmas, so that means that in our house there were seven kids, one cousin, one husband, and a bunch of family from my dad’s side. She did cleaning, cooking, and other work around the house.  She needed Lexi to stop so we listened and stopped the game to help and let her get some rest. My Dad offered to help with the dishes, so my Mom went upstairs and slept for an entire day and a half.

It was nearing Christmas, and we kids were now decorating cookies. “Can you pass the sprinkles please?” We picked out a few cookies and put them by the fireplace next to the milk, and carrots. Today was Christmas Eve so at night, we read our Christmas book as we do every year. After we read the book our cousins went to the basement to go to sleep. We went upstairs to sleep as well. I was super excited for Christmas, And it would be a super fun day for sure.
