”It’s almost Halloween!” I moped, “A time of ghouls, goblins, and other weird costumes.” I threw myself onto a kitchen stool and stroked my mane-like beard. Being Santa in October is more than depressing, it’s completely horrible! One of my little elves trotted over to me, but I barely noticed because he was so small. “Um excuse me sir..” “Hm?” I turned my head, trying my best to hold eye contact. “Well..” he continued, “The.. um, well..” “It’s halloween sir” I gave him a ‘seriously?’ face “I know.” my face turned sturn. “Um.. they want you to.. host the halloween hop.” My eyes widened “Me? The halloween hop? Santa?” “Yes” replied the little elf. The Halloween hop is the biggest Halloween party in the whole world! 

Me hosting the Halloween Hop is like the easter bunny becoming a leprechaun! I need to do lots of research. I know nothing about how Halloween happened! I opened my laptop (yes I know Santa has a laptop, shocking) “Ah a link!” I clicked the link and it showed some facts, I read through them “Apple bobbing, blah blah blah, here!” I read on, “Halloween originated in an ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain!” “This is amazing!” I finally knew something! Yes! I continued my research for what felt like the whole of December!

“Ok lets go over my speech” I declared to my millions of elves. “Halloween is” I said. My speech was almost over.  “Let’s get this party started!” I finished! The elves loved it. I’m so excited for halloween! I think this might be the best Halloween ever!
