Secret Santa (Dec 5)

December 5, 2015 by Mary

Holly stared at her son sitting on Santa’s lap. She was annoyed, but she was used to that feeling. Bobby was constantly pushing her beyond her comfort zone, ever since he was born. 

But more than that she was still scared. He vanished, then she found him in the lap of a strange man. Yes, she knew it was Santa, but there was no guarantee this Santa was a decent person under the suit. 

Holly assured herself Bobby was okay then looked up at Santa. Her breath stuck in her throat when she tried to suck it in. She froze. 

Santa was watching her. His blue eyes were dark, like a midnight sky, and they held hers with such intensity she couldn’t breathe. Beneath the fake beard he was attractive and young. Much younger than she expected. 

Despite the intensity in his eyes, one she couldn’t define, she was drawn to him. 

Her feet moved her forward even as her mind shook her head no. She didn’t want to join Bobby on Santa’s lap, but it appeared as though she was going to. 

The mysterious Santa opened his arm and welcomed her onto his lap. She could smell the man beneath the suit. Expensive cologne was fading, one she thought she recognized but could put her finger on. In its place she inhaled a male scent with a hint of something else, probably his deodorant. 

He smiled when she finally lowered herself into his leg. Bobby beamed at her and said, “Ask Santa for what you want, Mom. I already told him what I want.” 

“I don’t need anything, Bobby. Santa has too many other people to worry about anyway.” 

“I’d love to know what would make you happy. It’s Christmas, miracles can happen,” Santa said with a wink. 

Holly looked him straight in the eyes and told him, “I don’t believe in miracles. I don’t believe in much of anything anymore.”

Ten people were taken from my city over the weeken Ten people were taken from my city over the weekend. Ten people who did nothing wrong. The person who took their lives was filled was hate and took it out on innocent people. #BuffaloNY is the City of Good Neighbors. I didn't know those ten people, but I feel their loss like the rest of my city does. We are all neighbors, and we all hurting. 

My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of Aaron Salter, Ruth Whitfield, Pearl Young, Celestine Chaney, Roberta Drury, Heyward Patterson, Margus Morrison, Andre Mackneil, Geraldine Talley, and Katherine Massey; and with the survivors: Zaire Goodman, Jennifer Warrington, and Christopher Braden.
Dating your ex in a small town means everyone know Dating your ex in a small town means everyone knowing your business. Like the fact that he broke your heart. They should all be on my side, right? Too bad he’s bringing an old town hangout back to life. And getting everyone involved. And making all of us fall in love with him.
