Imitated Sentence:

There is nothing better that students can take home over summer vacation than a sense that what they have learned the previous year has meant they were able, with the help of lots of other people, including that alienated girl with the green hair and that kid who counts on his fingers, and lots and lots of people beyond the walls of the school, to make something important happen, to meet a challenge.

My Sentence:

I am so grateful for the Christmas season, which brings so much joy into people’s lives, along with extended family and friends, and lots of presents and Christmas decorations, which helps us remember the importance of a Savior in our lives.

Rewritten Lyrics to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You”

This Christmas season, I am not asking for a lot from Santa. I can only think of one thing that I would need for Christmas. It doesn’t bother me if I do not get very many Christmas presents under the tree because the only thing that I truly want is you. I cannot tell you how much I want you, and only you, for Christmas, and I hope that Santa brings you to me this year. Truly, all I need, desire, and want for Christmas is to have you in my presence.
Again, this Christmas season I am not asking for a lot from Santa. I still can only think of one thing that I would need for Christmas, so the quantity and quality of presents under the Christmas tree does not matter to me. I do not even care if I get presents in my stocking; I probably won’t even hang one by the fireplace this year. I hope that Santa doesn’t bring me a toy for Christmas, because that is not what I want.

The only thing that I really, really, really want for Christmas is your presence. I don’t know how many times I need to ask, but I can’t tell you how much I want to be able to see you this Christmas season. If I could wish upon a star, I would wish that I could have you for Christmas because you are exactly what I want. For this reason alone, Santa needs to bring me you for Christmas.

I am not even going to write Santa a letter this year because I don’t even want anything, not even a white Christmas like so many others want. I will sit here, waiting, very patiently, under the mistletoe for you, so hurry up

No paper and pen to write a letter to Santa about what I want for Christmas is necessary this year. I am going to bed early this year and ignoring the sounds of the reindeer on my roof because all I want is for you to be here with me while we hold hands and take a walk in the freshly fallen snow. There is nothing more than I can think of that I can do to persuade you. The only thing that I am asking for this year, not even that, the only thing that will make me happy this Christmas season, is you.

All I can see this Christmas season is a bunch of cute Christmas lights on people’s houses with little smiling and laughing kids decorating gingerbread houses on the inside. There are also a bunch of people coming to my house singing Christmas carols and even more people driving down my street in carriages with sleigh bells, and I am stuck here at home without you. Dearest Santa Claus, all I want you to bring in your big red bag is my special man, who is the only one I need. Hurry Santa, I’m getting impatient here, you know that my list of things that I want for Christmas is not very big, and that I am only asking for one thing, so please send my significant other to my front door as a surprise.

All I want is this person, and no one else. I cannot tell you how much I want this person, so please, Santa, grant me my one and only wish, because all I want for Christmas is my loved one. Seriously, all I want this year is that person, nothing else.
