Santa looked down and
thought how his stomach was more like a half-deflated balloon than a bowl full
of jelly, and his nose more black cherry than maraschino.
His job gave him every
reason to feel jolly: perfect job security, cheerful co-workers, state of the
art technology, travel to exotic places, and unlimited hot cocoa. But today the
calendar read November 25th. The most dreaded deadline of the year was today:
the finalization of the Naughty List, based on last year’s deeds.
Sure, he could see kids
when they were sleeping and know when they were awake. He knew if they were bad
or good with the help of his monitoring elves. It was just so hard to make the
final decisions. Though most people assumed he checked the list only twice, he
often agonized over it for weeks, checking and rechecking it.
There was the regular
Naughty List, which was bad enough, and then there was the Chronically Naughty
List, where only the naughtiest appeared. Those on the second list risked being
permanently banned from Christmas privileges, with only coal to look forward to
for the rest of their lives.
St. Nick didn’t like
having to put anyone on that list. But, rules were rules and he couldn’t break
them without setting a bad example.
He stuffed his large
girth into the tinsel-draped chair behind his desk, and picked up his
candy-cane striped pen. The Naughty and Nice lists lay out in front of him,
filled with names in calligraphy. Off to the side lay the third list, which
held only one name. St. Nick’s eyebrows rose.
