ROLL ’EM

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT: ROLL ’EM! Christmas All Year

by Hunter Barnard

I watched a lot of Christmas movies in December, and one of my favorites is the new “Christmas Chronicles 2.”

My favorite character is Santa, he is very cool because he sings and dances, and he seems very nice.

In the movie, Santa has to save Christmas again, but this time he is saving it from a bad guy named Belsnickel.

The first movie had a girl named Katie in it. She is a true believer, which means she has always really believed Santa was real, more than most people.

She and her new stepbrother get tricked by Belsnickel, and they end up being sent to the North Pole, where they get lost.

Santa comes to rescue them, and that is when they realize they were tricked. Belsnickel just needed them to get them to the North Pole as a trap for Santa.

Eventually, we find out that Belsnickel used to live at the North Pole, and he was mad at Santa for not believing in his inventions.

I do not think Santa meant to hurt his feelings, but Belsnickel did not think Santa liked him anymore.

This movie was very cool because Mrs. Claus was in it more. Even the whole village at the North Pole was in it, too. They even had a shop where the elves made video games, and I thought that was really cool.

Christmas movies are my favorite kind of movie, and I liked this one because it had a good ending.

The movie was happy, and it was all about the Christmas spirit. I think everyone should watch it!
