For Good Saint Nick's Sake
T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Suzy's parents went to bed hours earlier absolutely fuckin hammered. Suzy lay wait in her bed staring at the ceiling, unwilling to try and fall asleep. This was the night she was going to meet Santa. The star lit roof of her bedroom seemed more entertaining than usual as she kept her ears wide. One of the nights where you check the time again after twenty minutes and its been two. The house usually creaked at night, but when there was an usual creek she'd sneak to the end of the hall and catch an eye of the tree. Nothing so far. 'I'll ask him why everyone says to leave out milk with the cookies when my parents say he likes beer.' Suzy though to herself. 'I'll ask him to bring Rudolph with him to the mall next year.' 'If we don't have a chimney ho-' Her thoughts were broken by a scuffle from the basement. She listened closer, thirty seconds of silence followed by the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs and to the tree. She was full of excitement. 'This is it,' she thought to herself as she quietly pranced and grabbed her housecoat. Sneaking to the end of the hall she peaked her eyes around the corner and almost screamed when she saw him. There was Santa. She rubbed her eyes to be sure. Then something caught her off guard. He put a present into his sack. Then another. She leaned back in surprise and he put yet another present in his sack.
"What are you doing?" heart pounding she asked in a faint voice, still only showing the top of her head.
Santa slowly turned to face her and in a jolly voice replied. "Delivering presents of course."
"Why are you putting them in your sack?" She responds after a few seconds.
"Your presents were underneath. These toys are for your neighbors. Why are you up so late young girl?"
"I wanted to meet you," she replies.
Santa subtly laughs and takes a step towards her as he say. "I'm happy to meet you sweetie. You're gunna have a hell of a Christmas. Now go back to bed I got a lot of stops tonight."
She complies and gives him a smile before skipping to her room.
Laying in bed she felt happy. She could fall asleep complete, which even with the rush of adrenaline didn't take long. When she woke she jumped outta bed so fast she barely landed on her feet. Grabbing her housecoat without even putting it on she ran out to the tree. She was paralyzed when she saw it. 'Where are all the presents?' Staring for a minute she grew cold. The living room felt colder than normal, like an end of summer night. Her mind in complete confusion she stumbled backwards to her parents bedroom and started pounding on the door.
