1 The Best Christmas Vacation! My name is A.J., and I hate it when a song gets stuck in my head. Does that ever happen to you? You hear a song a couple of times and learn the words without even trying. Then you find yourself singing it all the time. You sing it while you're walking to school. You sing it while you're taking a bath. You can't stop singing it no matter where you are. I hate when that happens! Ever since Thanksgiving they've been playing this rap song on the radio over and over again. I can't get it out of my head. The song is by this kid who isn't much

older than me. His name is Johnny Cray, but his rap name is Cray-Z. My sister loves him. Every girl in the world loves him. The song is called "The Christmas Klepto." It's about this mean guy who steals toys. It starts like this.... 'Twas the night before Christmas. You know the rest. Stuff was all over; the house was all messed. I was dreaming of a Christmas white. It was a totally silent night. That's when I heard a crash and a boom, So I ran right down to the living room. There was this guy dressed all in black, And over his shoulder he carried a sack.

I took one look at him and said, "Whoa, man! I know you're not Frosty the Snowman." "Who are you?" I asked after a pause. "You sure don't look like Santa Claus." He said, "The name's Klepto. I'm from the South Pole. I grab all your presents. That's how I roll. "On Christmas Eve, I go around the world and steal all the presents from boys and girls."

Ugh. That song is the worst part about Christmas. And now it's stuck in my head forever. Do you know what's the best part about Christmas? No school for nine whole days! That's right. No homework. No reading, writing, math, or social studies. No teachers. Yippee! Nine days! Do you know how long nine days is? I figured it out on my calculator. Nine days is the same as 216 hours. 216 hours is the same as 12,960 minutes. 12,960 minutes is the same as 777,600 seconds. That's a long time. For 777,600 seconds I won't have to see Andrea Young, this annoying girl in my class with curly brown hair. I'm going to enjoy every one of those seconds. This is going to be the greatest Christmas vacation of my life.
