Handmade Happiness by NeeChee001
It was a cold December morning as Jenny sat by the fire, reading a book as her cupcakes finished baking in the oven.
Suddenly, her phone began to ring. It was Mya.
“Hey, Mya,” she answered, “How are you?”
“Hey Jenny!” Mya greeted, “I’m good, but I’m having trouble finding a gift for Max.”
Jenny put her bookmark into her book and stood up.
“Ah, I still have a little shopping to do myself! Do you want me to come and help you?” she asked.
“Yes, please!” Mya replied, “Thank you so much!”
10 minutes later, Mya arrived at Jenny’s house, dressed to impress (of course) and ready to shop. Jenny pulled on her panda hat before closing the door and following her friend to town.
Mya had found some cool new headphones for Jay and a cute teal dress for Jenny, but she couldn’t think of the perfect gift for Max. Jenny suggested perhaps a new game, however they did not know what he already had. Suddenly, an idea struck.
“Sometimes the greatest gift can be one you make!” Mya exclaimed as she made her way to the fabric shop.
“Got an idea then?” Jenny asked and Mya nodded.
“What kind of a fashionista would I be if I couldn’t design my own clothes from time to time?” Mya asked as she cut a few meters of royal blue fabric and silky dark blue lining. “I’m going to make him a new jacket, not too showy but definitely chic! I hope he likes it.”
“That’s perfect!” Jenny replied. “He’ll love it.”
Mya beamed. “I think we should celebrate with a pumpkin spice latte on the way home.”
“Great minds think alike!” Jenny added before they paid and made their way back onto the high street.
The Quest for the Cactus by Gemzina
Once upon a time, in the magical land of Woozlandia, there lived four adventurers. The first one had hair of scarlet, with a sense for fashion. The second had hair of light rose, with a love for all beings. The third had taste for all things swag. Last but not least, the fourth adventurer liked all things tech, and was brilliant at it as well.
It was the time of year where gifts would be unwrapped and the halls filled with holiday cheer. The pink adventurer shrieked, “I love Woozmas!”
The scarlet adventurer agreed. The swag adventurer was wrapping presents and the tech adventurer was taking out ornaments from the closet. The tech one shouted in sorrow, “We don’t have a Woozmas tree!”
The swag one weeped, and the scarlet one wanted to throw away all her festive attire. The pink one went to a bookshelf and pulled out a book containing the legend of a cactus that gives off Woozmas cheer.
They went to a being with all the answers, fueled by gossip. He went by the name of Woozarazzi. He told them that if they took a turn through where the Ice Queen lived, they would find the Desert of Woozmas Spirit. There the Grand Cactus would be found. They set off, only to be stopped a the castle. It was a snow monster! They ran as fast as they could and they made it to the desert, where the snow monster melted. The Cactus had been found! They took it back with them and they decked it with holiday cheer.
Battle at Midnight by Bejewelled
Every Christmas Eve, a monster would go to a house in WoozTown and sneakily steal every present under the Woozmas tree. This year, 2015, the monster struck a house, but not just any house… It was the Woozband’s house! Mya and Jay, Jenny and Max. They all lived there. In the middle of the night, the Monster snuck into the Woozband’s house. Just the monster’s luck! Jenny was doing what she would do every Christmas eve at 12:00 am. She was setting up Santa’s milk and cookies! As soon as Jenny saw the Monster, she screamed: “Oh my gosh! It’s a monster!”
The whole Woozband woke up and took action. They tried to call the exterminator, but he was asleep. They decided to take on this beast alone! The monster fought back with all his might until… the sun came up! The sunlight hit the monster and the monster turned into dust. The Woozband celebrated their victory by opening their presents and having a jolly day.
“Merry Woozmas to all Woozens!” the Woozband shouted multiple times.
THE END.
A Hanukkah Miracle by 911Swag
Sunday evening was soon to come, as MyaWooz was excited. Her closest friends were invited to her Hanukkah event, including 911Swag and Melisa. The guests sporadically arrived to the scene and had a spectacular time. JayWooz, MaxWooz, JennyWooz, and LoganWooz had a great time together. The friends had so much fun, they didn’t even recognize the time! As the Woozband snuggled around the fire, they heard a knock on the door.
“Who’s that?” LoganWooz whispered as she drank her hot chocolate.
“Let’s check!” MyaWooz and 911Swag opened the door and revealed ZeenaWooz!
“Hello, and why wasn’t I invited?” ZeenaWooz smirked and let herself into their party.
“What are you doing here?!” MaxWooz screamed as JennyWooz shriveled in fear.
“Just here to check up on my favorite peers… and to ruin your celebration!” said ZeenaWooz and as she snapped her fingers ZackWooz appeared!
“Yo, this isn’t for you guys! This is for us.” JayWooz stood up and announced.
“We’re here to ruin Hanukkah!” ZackWooz explained as he blew out the candle on the menorah.
“What are we going to do?!” Melisa cried out as the friends huddled together in a corner.
ZeenaWooz and ZackWooz laughed sinfully as suddenly, a huge vehicle came through the wall.
“It’s GoodOldWooz here to save us!” the Woozband announced as GoodOldWooz jumped out the car, hoping he didn’t damage much. The elder caught ZeenaWooz and Zackwooz and winked at the Woozband. “I’ll always be here for you guys.”
“It’s a Hanukkah miracle! Thank you GoodOldWooz!” LoganWooz cheered and ran into the snow, throwing a ball at JayWooz. “Come on guys!” She threw one at Jenny as the friends came and started to play in the snow.
And they had a joyful Hanukkah and a great time in the snow.
An Unexpected Woozmas by BarneyWoz
Mya whispered: “First time I’ve been back here in over twenty years. Makes my blood turn cold just looking at the place’’
Jenny, Max, Jay and Mya were barely able to walk through the snowfall. It was snowing heavily. As they approached the huge doors of the old mansion, they were all breaking into a cold sweat. They didn’t know what to expect or what was expecting them. Many years ago KountVonKlokz, now Zack, was living in this house when he kidnapped SantaWooz but they did not know if he was still living here. The Woozband was afraid that history would repeat itself this Woozmas.
Max and Jay pulled the heavy doors. They didn’t have to worry about the doorway because the strong wind closed it. Inside it was pitch dark and the scary sound of bats could be heard in the distance. The windows were gaping holes for the wind to rush in and out through and the door hung on its hinges at a jaunty angle. Jay reached for some matches to light up the room a bit.
They all ran up the stairs and busted into the room in front of them. The Woozband gasped when they saw a familiar face. It was indeed Zack, sitting at a big table in the middle of the room. They were looking at each other speechlessly. On the table there were all kinds of traditional Woozmas foods, as if Zack was waiting for them to come.
Zack said shyly: ’I guess you can join and eat with me if you want to… I am sorry for everything I did…’’
The woozband realized how lonely Zack must have felt all this time. Without hesitating, they joined him at the table and had a great time together.
Twas The Night Before Woozmas by AnieyahCutiepie
Twas the night before Woozmas,
All through the world, not a Woozen online not even a Max!
All of the Woozband began to worry
because SantaWooz wasn’t coming in a hurry!
They soon began to lose hope and they all went to bed
With visions of Santa running through their head.
Little Mya woke up hearing a big ol’ thump,
She hopped out of bed with a very big bump!
Hoping and praying that SantaWooz was coming,
After hopping out of the bed she then went running.
She saw standing before her the great SantaWooz!
When she saw him he tried to get away in a hurry,
While telling little Mya “Go scurry!”
Little Mya began to look very sad,
She thought SantaWooz would like to meet her very bad.
He started to smile and stood there for a while.
He then told her all about his wonderful life,
And then threw a little dust and she was out like a light!
She woke up the next day not remembering a thing,
But she knew that someone had come and brought her these things.
Merry Woozmas!
