"Hi, I'm Cinny Nym, Dean of Faculty at Vocabulary University."
You have permission to make a hard copy for further vocabulary study.
Your job is to MAKE YOUR OWN STORY with these "holiday" words.
The following words (listed alphabetically) appear somewhere in the story below:
blessing, chorale, collective, commemorate, cooperative, creativity, decoration, dedication, enchanting, fasting, indulgence, miraculous, mistletoe, menorah, myrrh, nativity, ornaments, responsibility, revelation, tinsel, wassail, wreath The office decorations were beautiful! There was a wreath above the copy machine, as well as a big tree with ornaments and tinsel. The office manager had hung mistletoe at the top of the stairs. Her creativity to surpass last year's party would be tested because she had taken the responsibility of bringing a miraculous sight into the office: 6 live reindeer! The recollection of that awesome revelation brought a collective cheer from everyone. In fact, a cooperative effort was being made to commemorate the reindeer event with a plaque inscribed with a dedication. The staff depended on the indulgence of the Board Members to approve the expenditure! This year's party was enchanting. A nine person chorale sang. All holiday traditions were celebrated with a menorah, the nativity scene and aromas of incense and myrrh. The punch bowl held warm wassail and anyone who was fasting would have had difficulty passing up the huge food buffet. All in all, everyone thought it was a blessing to have had such nice parties two years in a row!
Feel free to make a copy of this sample story for your home or the classroom effort!
