Alexandre Beridze – Christmas Carol

Once upon a time there was an old man called Carol who lived in a large crowded city. He worked as an accountant in a big company and was addicted to his job. He was the only one in the whole city who didn’t like Christmas. The reason why he hated Christmas was that his closest friend died in an accident at Christmas. Since then, he spent all Christmas counting his salary and all the money he had collected and he forced one of his assistants to do the same with him. He never let his assistant spend holidays with his family and friends. In 1979 when everybody was preparing for Christmas, he was counting all his money with his assistant as usual. One day Carol’s cousin entered his office room and invited him to his home for Christmas but Carol as usual, said no as he hated Christmas and everything related to that day. Carol’s assistant told Carol to go to celebrate the holiday with his family and relatives but Carol refused and continued counting his money. After that Carol’s cousin and assistant made a plan to prank Carol and make him love Christmas again. Carol’s assistant asked his cousin why he hated Christmas so much and that’s when he found out the real story. So they decided together to prank him with a ghost costume. One of them dressed as Carol’s dead best friend and went to Carol’s house in the middle of a night. They scared him to death but the main thing is that they asked Carol in the name of his friend that he should forget about the accident and have the best of his life by enjoying every day, especially holidays like Christmas. They never forgot to tell him to stop counting his money every day and let his assistant have some rest at holidays. Since then, Carol changed completely and started celebrating Christmas with his new friends and relatives again.

What I do at Christmas?

At Christmas me and my family go to Bakuriani and celebrate Christmas there. We do different activities like skiing, making snowmen, snowboarding and so on. This year my cousins and aunt joined my family on a Christmas trip.

Tamar Chkhaidze – Three Santas

Once upon a time it was a beautiful day, because it was Christmas day. It was a snowy day. Kids were happy. Santa’s elves were gathering presents. Santa had a big red bag with lots of presents. But Santa felt bad. He was sick. Santa was worried about it, because kids were unhappy if Santa wouldn’t give them presents. Scrooge was one old man, who was writing stories and he wanted a lot of money. He was so rude and he hated Christmas. He did not celebrate Christmas. Scrooge was Santa’s brother. When he saw Santa was so sick he was not worried about it. He hated Christmas because when he was a little boy, Santa didn’t give him to his dream present because he was bad kid. So Santa told to scrooge to be a Santa and give presents to kids. Scrooge said: No! I hate Christmas. Santa was unhappy but than his other brother Grinch said I can be a Santa. Santa was so happy but he realized that elves were sick too. Grinch negotiated with his brother: Scrooge looked at his brother he is so worried about presents you have to love Christmas, because you are Santa’s brother. I hated Christmas but then I realized Christmas is the best day in the world .Than they said we both can be Santa. Real Santa was very happy. Santa taught them everything. Than scrooge and Grinch gave kids presents all over the world. Scrooge was so happy because he was kind and he gave a lot of money to poor people. In the morning Santa felt great he saw kids were happy. Every year Santa, Grinch, and scrooge were give children presents and love.

In 2022 I want to travel to many countries I want to celebrate holidays with my family. I wish this Year would be the end of Covid19 to feel free without masks.

Salome Gagnidze – Christmas Magic

One day Scrooge was writing a new book. When he finished writing, he ate, decorated his house and fell asleep. When he woke up, he was outside in a city and he hasn’t got any money. Oh no! What can I do without money?!Scrooge was upset he didn’t know what to do. Then he looked to the side, in the window he saw a big family celebrating Christmas. He was so sad. Then he saw a newspaper. It said that soon will be 2022 year. OH! Scrooge was shocked. He wanted to go home. He tried to find a telephone to call his relative, but he didn’t see any regular telephones. He told a stranger to help him, but when he saw the woman’s telephone he couldn’t use it. It was too strange for him. Then he continued walking he saw a bakery. When he sat down at the table he saw delicious cupcakes and biscuits. He was very hungry. When the baker saw this he gave him some food. Scrooge was so happy and also he was very upset. Why did that man give him food despite that I didn’t give him any money? Scrooge thanked the baker. He told his story to the baker and unexpectedly baker believed him. He said that maybe if he would watch how they celebrate Christmas in 2022 he will return back home. Baker showed everything about Christmas to Scrooge, how they decorate a Christmas tree, how they cook and eat Gozinaki, how they sing Christmas carol and many other things in 2022. After this adventure Scrooge quickly fell asleep. When he woke up he was at the city where he lived. He saw one poor man sitting on the cold street and looking at the baker who cooked delicious food. Scrooge bought it and gave to him. He wished that all people poor and rich had wonderful Christmas!

Saba Karalashvili – Phantom and New Year

On New Year’s Day phantom decorated his whole house and made delicious food. He invited his friends to his house and they wanted to have a big party. Phantom was very happy. At night they had a big party. They invited neighbors and people they loved. Phantom was very happy because he could celebrate New Year with other people and be loved and respected from others. He had lots of problems but his biggest problem was that no one loved him and everyone disrespected him and  New Year helped phantom to solve this problem and he wanted that everyone to love him and respect him.

Phantom after Christmas

After Christmas phantom went to buy some food because on Christmas Eve at the party everyone ate lots of food, so he didn’t have food to eat. When he got to store everyone looked at him. Phantom thought that everyone would make fun of him and get out of the store but people called him to come back. Phantom was shocked that people talked to him. He was happy because for the first time he talked to people and people were kind to him too. On Christmas no one gave any gift, but on 2nd January all of his friends surprised him with lots of gifts. He was so happy. He hugged all of his friends and said “thank you”, his friends were happy too. After that he wasn’t afraid that people would laugh at him. He was a great friend to everyone and always talked to them about how bad his life was and people always cheered him up and phantom was always very happy and he’ll always be. 

In 2022 I want to be happy with my family, I want covid-19 to not be in our life anymore and have lots of fun.

Nino Akhaladze – Scrooge and Christine

 I want to tell you scrooge and Christine’s story. It isn’t a love story, it isn’t a bad story it’s a story about a sister end a brother and how they spent the New Year. They both have problems.  Christine’s problem was that she had no one except Raul and her child Raul was also at work and had his son with him.

 Scrooge’s problem was that he also had no one to celebrate New Year but Scrooge have one old friend Persian. Once Persian and Scrooge met before the New Year. When they go to Scrooge’s house Persian said:

-I have a beautiful friend named Christine and I want to invite her in the New Year too.

Scrooge knew the name Christine and thought it was his sister. When the Persian called Christine of course agreed but, could not come because Scrooge’s house was too far away. Since Christine could not go with them, Scrooge and Persian decided to come to Christine. After walking a long way they came to Kristin. Scrooge knew him and Christine too. They found out that both of them wanted to quarrel with each other. They set a very tasty supper. Before the New Year came they remembered childhood, funny and cheerful memories. Raul and his son also came. They were very happy to meet Persian and Scrooge. Christine and Scrooge made their dreams come true on this magical New Year’s Eve. All their problems were solved.

 I want to study swimming and math in 2022. I still want to learn English better.  I also want to have a dog and a cat. Here’s what I want in 2022.

Happy New Year!

Ioane Nizharadze – Christmas Past Ghost

The ghost doesn’t celebrate Christmas because it has his job and that is to help all pupil who is angry or don’t trust in Christmas. They showed Christmas when they were children. If the ghost wants to be a man, it needs to go to god’s house at Christmas because the Christmas is wishing time. If the ghost has got a problem and can’t make a job, it will call his friend and a friend does his work.

My life

I live in a city but I was lived in village, my life changed. I like to play football and I love cats, maybe I will have one.  I go to school in the afternoon, I learn well but I don’t know how good l learn because we don’t rite marks now. If it’s sonny I play football with my friends.

My next year

Next year I will be in the garden all day but only on sunny days and I will try to not use a phone every day. If I have a cat we will play together and we will go to the park.

Anna-Maria Korkelia – The Phantom’s Christmas

It was the most favorite time of the year for Erik. Christmas! He celebrated Christmas at home, but he wasn’t alone. Erik was celebrating Christmas with his dog, Nick. Nick loved gingerbread cookies, so the Phantom made them. He had a special recipe from his grandmother. The Phantom and Nick were very happy on Christmas. They went to the cinema and watched a very interesting movie, called “A Christmas Carol”. Also, the Phantom cooked lots of other delicious dishes for Christmas. Nick and Erik decorated their house with colorful lights and beautiful balls. After that, they decorated the Christmas tree with lovely toys. For Christmas the Phantom wanted a new mask and a new black cloak. He wanted a mask for covering and hiding his face. Erik preferred hiding because of his ugly and scary face.  If Erik lived in Georgia in 2022, he would wear a mask and would be one of us, so he could be safe from the virus and nobody would see his frightening face. We all look alike and sometimes people wear masks of vampires, ghosts, witches and other heroes of popular movies. In 2022 I want to have a new skateboard or a new hoverboard. Also, I want to read a lot of books and interesting information or facts. I want to buy special pencils and draw with them beautifully. I am going to go to Ozurgeti and play with my friends. In addition, I will watch some really interesting movies and cartoons, maybe comedy or horror. Also, I want to visit some really interesting museums.

Alen Golovchanski – The Last Mohican and Christmas

It is a story about a Mohican, so let’s talk about him. His name is Hawk-Eye and he is one of the last of the Mohicans. He fought for England. He aimed well with his gun. His friend Uncas died. So he was left only with Chingachgook. Hawk-Eye wished to get more members of his tribe because there were 2 Mohicans left. War has ended, I repeat. Some people were happy, some, weren’t. Nobody knows who won the war, but I think that England won the war. Some people that day felt bad for Mohicans and they decided to join them. Hawk-Eye was so happy. Chingachgook and Hawk-Eye had that many members of their tribe that they had to build a village. It was Hawk-Eye’s and Chingachgook’s best day ever. Both will never forget about that day. They were so happy people that they forgot that it was Christmas, but soon, they remembered. They set up a party in their village and prepared the table with delicious food. They made a hog barbeque, cooked mushrooms, and more meat! Some berries, and eggs! The entire village enjoyed the food. Hawk-Eye made toys out of wood for kids and Chingachgook made useful items out of wood such as furniture, plate and spoon. Both children and parents were happy. One time when the party was still going, Hawk-Eye asked Chingachgook: -Hey, what did you wish for Christmas? -Well, I wished to get more members of the tribe, and it came true! – Answered Chingachgook. -I had the same wish too! Is that a coincidence? Maybe yes. Hey. How about we invite Alice Munro and Duncan Heyward here to participate their marriage? –Then suddenly Chingachgook answered: -Sure! I almost forgot about them! Soon, They came and hugged Chingachgook and Hawk-Eye and shouted “We Miss You So Much!!”. “So Did We!” Answered Hawk-Eye. Soon, it became night time. Children weren’t tired so weren’t parents. They all spoke, they all told jokes to each other, they even played games. It was 2 O’clock, soon people got tired. Everybody went do their home to lay on their comfortable beds. It was their very fun day. But it has already ended. Next year, there will be another good party, I hope… Christmas story made by Alen Golovchanski.                      


Made for Book Club Education.

Also my extra: When it will be 2022, I want to learn how to code on computer, and I also want to test the virtual reality gaming. This is not the end! WOAH! The Mohicans were not lucky because the time traveler turned out to be Evil. He threatened them:

-If you don’t give me everything you own, I will send you to my World.

Of course they didn’t accept it, so a portal appeared and then sucked them in. They appeared in 2022.

First thing they do is panic, because they were lost in the worst possible place, the city. Too much car noises, too much people, too much building, too much everything! They all split up and asked people if do they know where person with green hair, green eyes, green clothes lives. They were unfortunate because first, they appeared next to the traveler’s building, second is that people don’t speak their language and third is that time traveler is the most known human. They learned the language and now they know what “wat Du u Min” means. It is “Turn Right”. They turned right and climbed the building. Then they saw that man and they beat him up and then a portal opened and they all jumped just to appear in their world.

Tekla Berikashvili – New Year’s Eve

It was New Year’s Eve. Raul and his family were almost ready for New Year’s Eve. The children were playing in the garden and Christine was cooking dinner. Do you want to play “hide and seek”? – asked Ann.

-Okay answered Robert. 

-I will hide said Ann, 

-Okay answered Robert again,

-One, Two, Three, counted Robert.

I will go and hide near lake, it’s Robert’s and my favourite place. Said Ann quietly, but Robert heard it and after count he went to the lake. The children didn’t say anything to their parents. 

-Hey children wanna try these delicious cookies?  Asked Christine, no one answered, guys are you here? – asked Christine again. Still no one answered. Christine started looking for her children. They were nowhere. Christine called Raul and told him that the children weren’t at home. Raoul immediately came back from work to house and called the police. They all were looking for Ann and Robert. Raul and Christine didn’t go to celebrate New Year without their children. There were so sad, they didn’t know what to do. The police asked Christine: Do they have their favourite place? Christine said “oh, I remember it’s near the lake”. Please, don’t go there I want to go and see them. I’m sure they will be there and they will be scared if you go there said Raul sadly. The police agreed and Raul went to the lake. Ann, Robert are you here? A few seconds later Raul heard a voice he was sure this was from his children. Daddy said Ann. Children ran and hugged their dad. They come back home When Raul and Christine heard what happened there, they were mad at first but then everyone forgot everything and they celebrated New Year. They were so happy. In 2022 I want to move in my new house, become famous on Tik Tok and YouTube and I want to learn English language better than now.

Sophio Kaladze

I am writing a story about Tom Sayers: What did he do? Tom would mess around (like always), like prank his aunt who he lives with or even prank his stepbrother, he would not do any homework like always and play until its dawn. How did he celebrate? He will decorate a Christmas tree with his friends and crush, Beckie. In my opinion I think he will go to others trees and steal ornaments. What problems did they have? How did they solve those problems? None. What do they want in the New Year? A new toy probably, maybe wanting Beckie to love him? I don’t know, I did not read the entire book yet.
