20 In 5 -- Vol. II -- To Watch For Santa

You better watch out...

I carefully checked my bag to see the goodies inside didn't make any noise, then looked over the beautiful Christmas decorations this house had. Fixing my beard, I nearly hit the roof.


"Hello, Santa Claus."


I froze. Turned slowly. And stared. There was a boy, a tiny boy, touseled hair and sleepy-eyed, trying not to suck his thumb as he stared back at me. I kept my eyes from darting, playing it cool and keeping panic at bay. I remembered the name on some of the gifts. "Hello, Pete."


The boys eyes went wide. "You do know my name!"


I nodded in what I hoped was a pensive and twinkling fashion. "And your sister's name, too. Little Emily."


He actually sat down, his pajamas rustling. "Holy cow! You really are Santa Claus!"
