AChristmas Harrow page1;part 1
Santa Claus sat down to read some of the letters from the chilren that were starting to pile up.It always made him feel jollierto read about theirexcitement for the holidays.
Things were going fine until he came across a letter from a 7 year old boy that read:
Dear Santa I want toys for Christmas like every other child, but I would like to offer you a trade which will be for everyones' sake. Please take all the toys meant for me out of your sack and instead give me one full day of truth and honesty. If for 24 hours you could bestow upon the earth truth and honesty it would assure another full year of me being a good boy.I promise I will try my hardest all year.
Upon reading this simple request, Santa carefully removed his glases and placed them on a end tablebeside him.He leaned back in his rocking chair and began to ponder the letter:
At first he thought it shouldn't be very difficult to fullfilll. Of any day in the yearChristmas was when people tried their hardest to be good and honest even if just for their childrens' sake.
He was about to dismiss his concern by assuring himself it should be fine:but was
still bothered by the fact this boy:He picked up the letter and glanced at the name again'jethro'He was ussally all about hotwheels. UYetJrthro and wa, felt it worthwhile to sacrificing the pleasures of his rewards to want a day of honestyfrom everyone.
So he did a quick google search, on Jethroto see if there was cause for concern.
He couldn't believe the results that came up; literally.He was a rascist!
A hate1,
Aconspirer!
As he read on, he realized with certainty something was fishywhen it revealed his political standing.
An"Inserectionist~"Santa exclaimed almost aloud loud. He;s not even old enough to vote,"santa Claus thought to himself.
Santa Claus took out his own notes to compare them withth he web browsers google's fact-checked results.
Upon reading what his book said about jethro he realized something was amiss.According to his personal referrences, jethro was a wonderful sweetand honest boy!
Feeling it necessary to clarify the discrepency, he dug deeper into the state of the worldand its' honesty.
At last,mortified by what he found, he fell to hs knees and began to ferverntly pray.
he ceased and climbed back into his rocking chair when a bright light entered his room.
It was the angel that had been on the Santa Castle Christmas tree, since Jesus' fisrt birthday celebration.
"Hello"Santa Claus said.
With the voice of roaring waves,"the angel answered hello.
THE birthday boy has heard your lament and has asked me to speak with you."
"Santa CLAUS CALMED himself and asked"can I grant the child his wish?"
"Unfortunately no, "the angel answered./think of the rammifications if you do such as where will that put you?"
Santa considered it then answered"we are both faith based, at least he's got the miracles and fulflled propheciesandthe fact that he i to back him.What do I have?I only have him.He is the very definition of truth, I;m just a fraud riding on his coat tails!
"So you can understand his position"the angel replied."
"Yes santa continued, but there needs to be some kind of solid foundation to base the faith on, or it will crumble at the slightest vibration.
Is your faith wavering? the angel asked.
"No!Santa quickly replied.For deep inside he knew how strong his love for Jesus was and how much a part of hm he was."
"
but
Good," the angel responded, "because he will need you more then ever this Christmaas.
Upon hearing this Santa Claus perked up instantly, and he could feel his strength returning.Whatever he would like me to do I am ready."
"That is good to hear the angle said."I have finshed my message to you. it,"Do you want me to go back to the top of the tree?"
do you want to?"Santa Claus asked.
Santa Claus pondered all the years it had been up there for a moment,"then asked it,"do you like it up there?"
"Not really."the angel replied."It feels like people are staring at me all the time, and sometimes I feel like I;m their view of the birthday boy.
"What would you like to do instead?"he asked the angel.
Well I've been thinking of some things that might make the reindeer games more fun,page2,"the angel said.
"Off you go thenSanta, said with a smile broader than his whiskers.
