Jimmy decided to sit down and write a letter to Santa Clause. He started writing...
Dear Santa,
I have been very good this year.
After thinking about it, Jimmy thought; Santa knows whether I've been good. He'll know if I am not telling the truth. He crumpled up the letter and started over.
Dear Santa,
I tried really hard to be good this year. I didn't fight
with my brother...
Again, he knew Santa would know better so he crumpled up this letter and started another.
Dear Santa,
This year I was pretty good, I improved over last year.
I didn't fight too much with my brother. I kept my
room clean...
He crumpled up this letter, too. A pile of crumpled letters were scattered across the floor. Glancing over at the nativity scene on the mantle, Jimmy had an idea. He grabbed the figurine of Mary and wrapped her in tissue. He placed her in a box, taped it shut, and hid it under his bed. He started writing a new letter.
This time he decided to write to a higher authority. He wrote...
Dear God,
If you ever want to see your mother again...
