Santa was tired. He had been delivering toys once a year around the world for, well, a really long time. Nowadays it was getting tougher to do his job. Every December 24^th, he’d take off with his sleigh and reindeer.  But they’d have to cruise at low altitudes to avoid all of the radar installations put in place to guard seemingly every square mile of land. Once he arrived at his destinations, he often found that the children’s parents had already ordered toys from one of those online stores that delivered them the next day free. Finally, it was getting harder to sneak down the chimney into someone’s living room, what with all the security systems and cameras and all.

It was late Christmas Eve. Santa arrived home from working at the mall. Lots of kids came to see him that day as the last minute rush towards Christmas was coming to a close. He was bone-tired. Working double shifts as a mall Santa proved to be harder than being the real one.

As he stepped from his car into the driveway, he was greeted by Ann, his perky blonde neighbor from next-door. Santa didn’t know Ann well. But he got a good feeling whenever he spoke with her. She was upbeat and had a silly sense of humor. Santa liked that.

Memorial Day is the time for Americans as one body to stand up and say, “Thank you. We remember you.  (photo licensed by www.depositphotos.com)
