Tyler woke up the day after Christmas with excitement in his eyes. He looked around in his room filled with toys and clothes that Santa brought for him. Tyler thought to himself, I wonder what Santa is doing right now? Then he said to himself, Santa must be on vacation because he worked so hard making and delivering gifts to the little children.

Possibly he tries to eat sushi with chopsticks.” “Wow!” Tyler shouted with delight. Tyler asked his grandpa, “Where does Santa go on vacation after Christmas?” Grandpa replied, “Maybe he visits Hawaii and learns how to say hello in Hawaiian: Aloha. Possibly he does the hula dance while playing the ukulele.” “Wow!” Tyler shouted with delight

About the Author
About the Author I was born in Haiti and came to the United States at the age of seven. It was challenging for me to adjust to a new country and to a new family. After a few years, I began to adapt to this country and began to explore and admire what it had to offer me. At the age of thirty years young, I was forced to face the biggest obstacle of my life. I was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer. While undergoing chemotherapy, I went back to college and received my master’s degree in children’s literacy. It is now six years later and I am in full remission. I currently reside in New Jersey. I am a special education teacher, and I love and take great pride in my career. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the smiles on my student’s faces as they overcome the challenges they face on a daily basis. I consider myself to be very successful, along with being extremely proud of where I came from. I continue to remain humble and feel blessed with the people I surround myself with: God, my family, and great friends. In my spare time I love to work on my many arts and crafts projects, such as stained glass, card designing, writing children’s books, and jewelry design. One of these days, I hope that I complete the bucket list I made at the age of twenty-one.
