This Christmas I got a bow and arrow Santa Clause. I don’t believe it was Santa Clause because my mom seemed to know all about what the girl at the store said about how to use it and about the price. The second I unwrapped it I wanted to go outside and use it, but I couldn’t because I had my cousins over. Their names are Merlin and Lucas so my mom calls them muchus as a nick name for both of them. My aunt Chris did not want them playing with it because it is a dangerous. It has sharp arrows with metal tips. The next day was Boxing day, the day after Christmas. It snowed about 18 inches that day, so my mom said to wait until the snow melted which took forever. If I had used the bow and arrow when there was over a foot of snow on the ground then when I shot the arrow it would have sunk into the ground and been hidden by the mass of snow and I wouldn’t be able to find it until the snow melted. This is like the padlock I took off the barn door and dropped in the snow and couldn’t find until the snow melted. We made the most of the snow by making snowmen and making a sled track all day.
On new years eve we had a party. My dad and his friend made a big bonfire. At the end of the party my dad launched a bunch of fireworks. He got them for Christmas from Santa/mum. Some of them were really big but some of them were really disappointing. Me and my friend Danny drank some of the muled wine. It was sour and gross so I mixed it with the hot cider and then it tasted good.
It wasn’t until the day after new years day that the snow melted. My mom’s friend brought me a hay bale to use as a target. I shot a bunch of arrows into the hay bale. I have four arrows there are two different types. One of the arrows shattered possibly hitting a rock in the ground. he end was destroyed and it doesn’t fly any more. I had some very successful shots on target in which one of them I was jumping. I wish I had a quiver. Santa said maybe she would get me one off amazon. One of arrows cut through the cord holding it in a cube shape so it all fell apart.
I hope you had as good a Christmas/New years as I did but it wouldn’t be half as good.
