1 Christmas wish list Shared by the followers of Loke s blog This year, Loke does not want more things for Christmas! Instead, he wishes for nice experiences, homemade presents or help to make other people happy, for example. What can he put on his Christmas wish list when he does NOT need more stuff? Emma: You can wish for a trip to the woods with your friends. You can always wish for a kitten or a dog. I have a cat named Mio. He is so cute. You can wish for a trip to an aqua park. Miriam: If you don t need stuff for Christmas, you can wish for a holiday to another country. Maybe you could travel to France? I am half French, and I like the country very much. Mohammed: You can wish for Champions League tickets for you and your family, and watch football in real life. If you are lucky, you can get some signatures from the football players. Kevin: You should wish for endangered animals to live. You should wish that earth will not be trashed. Wish for a good answer from us.

2 Maia: World peace. World peace is what you should wish for. It may not come true, but sometimes it is worth it. Wish for all the people that are dying out there! Fredrik: I guess the best thing for you would be a haircut, and a surprise party with all of your friends, where everybody shouts out Happy Christmas! and everybody is happy. Nadia: You could wish for summer. I love summer. I love it because there is no homework, you can swim in the ocean, you can sleep, and I have my birthday. And yeah, a lot. I mean, who does not like summer? Linnea 6B: If you want to make people happy, how about people in need? You can make cookies, bookmarks, origami birds or other animals, and go and sell them for money, so that you can give them for example to Kreftforeningen or children in need? Adrian: I think you can have a surprise party with home-cooked curry, chili and different activities. Maybe you can wash your mama s car? Mari: You can put on a wish list that you want a Santa s hat, beard, pants, sweater and shoes, so you can help Santa Claus and give out presents to people who need it.

3 Lasse: You could wish for money, and donate some of the money to for example homeless people, hospitals, etc. There are many sick people there, and they need clothes, food, etc. And maybe you or your mom can knit some socks or warm hats for them? Good luck! Åsmund: If you come here sometime, we can walk on a mountain and do other things together. PS! I live in Ulsteinvik. Norah Celine: You can wish for a holiday to Spain. You can wish for a box to put things in. I can make it for you. I hope. Happy Christmas! William: I am starting to feel the same way about not wanting anything for Christmas that costs money. But I do have some ideas for you! You could meet up with some friends and go on a ski trip, and after that, make some nice food. Maybe some hot cocoa too. You could also go fishing with some friends and make a contest out of it. The biggest fish the person catches after about an hour wins! Or the contest could be about how many different types of fish you can get, like salmons, for example. Another idea is going to a zoo to see all of the cool and different types of animals. If you are going to a zoo, then here is a dare I made for you: Try to come in contact with at least 3 animals!
