This year’s stories were amazing! The staff did a great job this semester. The Lamp just keeps getting better and better.
This is The Lamp’s final issue. It was a really great semester for the paper. I want to thank everyone that helped out in some way!
Well with the holiday seasons near of the lovely Thanksgiving and Christmas, I figured I could share some stories.
Thanksgiving, I always try my best to get up in the really morning to watch the Thanksgiving Parade. I have ever since I was little. It is my favorite to see all the celebrity’s singing and being on a float.
But the best part of the day is the FOOD! I always help my mom cook, so it will go faster but sometimes we will cook the food the day before.
Christmas, I have a tradition that on Christmas Eve I can open up one gift and then have to wait until Christmas day for the rest of them.
I know one year I was sleeping, and then I heard a noise on the roof my eyes opened so wide and I ran to the front to ask my mom if it was Santa. She told me to go back to sleep, or he won’t come back again. She was putting my presents up by the tree and said I almost caught her, ruined my life.
Also, when I was in third grade, we made reindeer food. It was the best because mine was gone (eaten by them, duh), it was the greatest. You can make some too:
Magic Reindeer Food Recipe
In a small zipper food storage bag or empty shaker container, mix:
n 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
n 1/2 cup sugar
n 1/4 cup red or green sugar crystals (as used for cake decorating)
Note: many Internet recipes for Magic Reindeer Food call for craft glitter, which can harm birds or wildlife if ingested. For safety, substitute colored sugar crystals and be kind to animals.
I know getting ready for finals is going to be stressful, for some, but I hope you ace them and you will, you will do great! I hope you all have an awesome Thanksgiving and Winter break and be safe.
