Andy Warhol was walking the night before Christmas. She noticed that someone was following her. The man caught up with Andy and told her – “I am Santa Claus, and I was watching you. You were well behaved. I am ill so you have to be the new Santa.

Andy said – “I am not fast and I don’t know to whom I should give a gift”. 

Santa Claus said – “I will teach you everything”. They flew into the sky and arrived at Santa’s house.

Andy said- “What are we going to do now?”

Santa said – “First I have to give you this magical hat. This hat will help you to be faster and quiet so no children can hear you”.

Andy said – “But how do I know who to give the a gift to? 

Santa said – “Ooh that is easy the elves will tell you who to give the gift to”

Andy said – “Ooh I get it”. The next day the new Santa Andy was getting ready. 

Santa said – “Are you ready?

Andy said- Yep, I am ready.

Santa said – “Good now we are going to be flying with this magical car but do not forget the magical hat that I gave you.” 

Andy said – “Ok, I will put it on right now.

Christmas night has come and Andy was ready to be the new Santa.

Andy started giving the children presents. In one hour Andy was done but she forgot one child and Christmas was about to end. She called the elves for help and they quickly gave the present to Santa.

Andy quickly gave the child her present. The end. Happy New Year.

This story is about Professor Verity’s Christmas. Professor hated Christmas. Because of that his whole family could not celebrate Christmas. On 31th December Professor saw someone in the red and white suit. It was the Santa Claus. Santa Claus came nearer and nearer. Santa asked:

-Do you hate Christmas?

-Yes, I do.

-Ok, than come with me.

-I don’t know……ok yes.

When they got outside Professor saw sled. Next to sled there were deers. Professor Verity got inside the sled and they flew. Professor Verity was scared of heights and he was screaming. Professor saw big company. It was Santa’s shop. They landed and they went inside. There were elves. Elves were little. There were wrapping gifts for kids. Professor saw a big bike. It was pink and white. Professor started to like Christmas. Then they went outside and jumped in the sled. They flew. Professor saw very beautiful lights. The lights were in the city, mini-city. In that city there were elves. There was snow everywhere. The lights were angels, trees and gifts. Also there was a huge tree. That tree was very beautiful. It was time to go. It was 11’o clock. Professor already loved Christmas. When they got home they celebrated New Year. It was so fun.

One day Mr. Fogg and his friends decided to travel and collect toys for the New Year’s tree. They traveled a lot by car, ship, and with ear balloon. They wanted to have the most gorgeous tree in their country. They started their trip from London and went to neighboring countries to buy their traditional tree toys. So they went from London to Paris and they bought an Eiffel tower glass toy. After Paris, they went to Barcelona and bought the Matador toy. After Spain they decided to travel to Greece, but it was far away, so they took a ship to travel by sea.

They liked the ship trip. After one month on the ship, they get in Greece. They bought many antique things. After that they went by car to Poland and then to Germany. They bought toys there too and after that they went back to France and with an air balloon got back to London to have fun and have the best New Year’s evening. They made the best New Year tree and had the best trip time together.

Gulliver didn’t like to live in Blefuscu so he decided to build a time machine.  He was teleported in 2022 and found himself directly in the middle of the street. He did not know that lots of cars were in the street at that time and so he almost was hit by the car. Some children saw him in the street and decided to help him. They took Gulliver home and gave him normal clothes. Then they went to buy a Christmas tree and toys. They started decorating a house, everything was very colorful and it was very fun. Then they went to cook Christmas dinner. Children went to sleep. Everyone was waiting for 12 o’clock. Nearly at 12 clock kids woke up. They went to open the gifts. Children received toys and gifts and Gulliver a phone. Gulliver didn’t know how to use the phone and what could he use it for, so children taught him how to use it and advised him to make his own YouTube channel where he would tell people about his unbelievable adventures. Gulliver became a cool youtuber he stayed very cool, he had over 10 million subscribers and now he has a lot of money and helps children’s families.

About my plans in 2022

I am Ani Kalmakhelidze. In 2021 I was thinking about what I want to do in 2022. I want to watch all of the new movies like Harry Potter or Spiderman and see my friends more often.

Phileas Fogg is getting ready for the New Year. He is very fond of the New Year holiday. Do you remember Jean Passepartout? Of course! He is Phileas Fog’s servant, who helps him in everything. Every New Year Phileas Fogg has a tradition of helping poor families, because he is a very kind person.

His wife Aouda prepares delicious dishes for the New Year. Reform Club members have been invited for the New Year. Phileas Fogg’s supper is varied. He also added Georgian dishes to the table (Satsivi, Gozinaki) and made the table more diverse. Aouda also added Indian dishes.

However before the New Year they decided to come to the children’s shelter because there is no New Year without kindness and gifts. They gave lots of nice gifts to the kids. The children were delighted and happy. That evening the big snow came Philia Fogg, Postpartum and Aouda stood with Santa Claus in the yard with the kids, hugged each other, then set up a big Christmas tree in the hall, decorated it with toys and had a fun time.

Twenty returned home with members of their Reform Club, Aouda’s Indian relatives were also welcomed, and they all wished each other a Happy New Year.

New Year is coming. New expectations, new wishes and new adventures are coming with New Year. It would be interesting for me how Phileas Fogg, his family and his friends are going to celebrate New Year. This is what I am going to write about in my essay.

Phileas Fogg and his wife are decorating Christmas tree , Jean Passepartout is cooking ginger breads and other Christmas meals too, throwing fireworks, singing and playing, inviting close friends but they do not know how to use their phones so Aouda has got a friend whose name is Mr. Seeker. Aouda sends a letter  and asks for help. Mr. Seeker comes to their house and helps them. Phileas Fogg must be very interested in modern technologies, internet and this would be a challenge but he would not be afraid of challenges. He would use the internet and modern technologies to travel again in those countries where he travelled around the world in 80 days. Aouda would learn how to use internet and order food by Glovo.

Finally, if Phileas Fogg travelled in 21th century he would have some problems in learning technologies, but he would overcome it soon.

 As for me, I would like to travel in the USA, visit Disneyland and have fun there in 2022. I can visit amusement parks, a rollercoaster, fairytale land where I can meet Snow White, Elsa and many others. 

It was a normal day, I was watching a movie about a candy machine, the machine that was able to make candy out of anything! Christmas was coming close so I decide to write a letter to Santa! After finishing writing a letter I put it into mailbox and went home. Finally it was January 1^st, I ran down to my Christmas tree excited about my present. I saw a candy machine waiting for me under the Christmas tree, and I immediately started to use it. All you needed is to press a button when I pressed it, it gave me candy. After that, I called my friend and told him about the candy machine. He was shocked, he said: wow this is very cool can we test it together? I said that I have already tested it, friend: it’s ok I want to see your machine that gives you candy. Ok just come to my house and I will show you. The next day he came to my house and I showed him the machine. My friend said that we could use it to make Lilliputians happy, I really liked his idea so I decided to tell everything to emperor, he seemed to like it too, I couldn’t be happier.  After that I started to sell candy everyone in the town seemed to like it too, as the time pas candy started to sell even more and more candy, but one day…. something really bad happened. The candy machine broke, and I had to throw it away. Before I could leave it started to work on its own I was very confused but I didn’t have time to think because all of sudden a big monster formed out of candy and started to break and crush everything  that was in the way. It started to run after me, I was so scared I couldn’t even move! But suddenly I saw someone jump on the monster from behind, they when chopped his head off and saved me, to be honest without them I would probably be dead. This was my story. Hi my name is Saba.  This year I want to learn more about English, about the world and other languages. I want to meet more people. And I want the pandemic to end. Thanks for looking

On New Year’s morning, Phileas Fogg went with his friends to the club to read the newspaper and play cards. Aouda made plum pudding, roast turkey, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, pigs in blankets (mini sausages wrapped in bacon), stuffing… Phileas Fogg brought punch and wine.

Later his friend came. They were Mr. Sack and Lemuel Gulliver.

– Hello, how are you? – Phileas asked.

– We are fine, thank you! And how are you?

– I am fine too. I invited you to my New Year’s party!

– Thank you!  – They said.

Mr. Sack and Lemuel Gulliver came to Gulliver’s house. Passepartout turned on the music and they all started dancing. Aouda laid the table and Fogg with his friends started eating. Phileas Fogg said the toast:

– Wish you more happiness than all my words can tell, not just for the holidays, but all the year as well.

Later, all the guests left. Phileas Fogg and Aouda got under the mistletoe and kissed.

The New Year was coming. Santa Claus got a lot of letters from children all over the world and started to gather presents for them. In the morning of December 31, he started his journey. When Santa arrived in London he was attacked by the criminals. Criminals took Santa’s clothes and all gifts. Poor Santa was arrested by the police. Nobody believed that he was the real Santa. This time professor Verity came in the police office. He saw this man and was very surprised. He asked Santa to sit on the truth machine’s chair and asked a lot of questions. Professor Verity: Where are you from? Santa: from Lapland. Professor Verity: Which transport did you use? Santa: I arrived by the sleigh. Professor Verity why did you arrive? Santa: To give presents to the children. Suddenly Santa found a letter in his pocket. It was the letter from a boy who wanted to get a Christmas gift. Santa said if you don’t believe me go and check. The inspector found a boy and was sure that the arrested man was Santa Claus. After that the police found criminals, took Santa’s clothes and gifts. There were only 10 minutes before the New Year. Professor verity took Santa with his car and they gave all gifts to everybody. The Children were very happy and Santa was very happy too.

Keso’s New Year Eve

This New Year was special for me because I spent it with my parents not at home, but in the nice Hotel Savaneti in Kakheti. There were a lot of children. There was a New Year’s concert and everybody enjoyed it. I danced a lot, even I sang a song in front of all guests. Everybody applauded me. I was so proud. Suddenly Santa Claus entered the hall, he gave us gifts and sweets. When I came closer to him, suddenly I recognised him, wow it was my uncle.  I didn’t say anything to him, but it was so funny. He tried to speak in a different voice like he were a very old man. I laughed a lot. When the fireworks started I thought my favourite dreams come for this New Year. I hope it works and for the next year my dreams will come true. 

We had a very good time. I never forget that night.  For the next year I want to take modern dance classes. I love to dance, when I hear the music I start dancing. I also want to improve my English and go for travel to Europe with my parents.

Hello, my name is professor Verity. I have a lot of LEDs, so I use them to get ready for Christmas. I also have two Christmas trees, I put one on the front porch and one in the living room and I love decorating them. On Christmas Eve, me and my friends visit New York. We love to watch decorated streets and NBA games. We camp out in the local park. In my opinion, in the year 2022 no one would believe, that I invented the “Truth Machine”, but I would prove that by hooking someone up on the truth machine and proving that.
