"Oh, Max." said Mama Mouse. "This just means Santa must have come." Max looked confused. "If Mr. Santa was supposed to spread holiday cheer, why would he eat all the cookies?" Papa Mouse chuckled. "Max, don't you know? The more cookies you bring Santa the more present he brings."
"Presents?!" Max got really excited. He has always wanted the Cheese-A-Tron 2000! It is a yellow scooter with cheese scented handle bars and goes faster than all the other mice scooters! Max knew what he had to do to get that scooter.
He ran straight into the humans' kitchen and squeeeeezed into the cabinet. He started rummaging through all the boxes until... he found it! The box of sugar cookie mix! He heard it was Mr. Santa's favorite.
He scurried into the refrigerator and got out the eggs, milk and whoooole lot of BUTTER!
He mixed and he mixed,

and he made a big mess! He put the cookies in the oven and when the came out, he decorated them in the most festive way. Then, he set them out for Mr.
Santa
He scurried back into his hole and went straight to bed. Hoping that Mr. Santa Clause would come back with his scooter.
"IT'S CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!!" said Papa Mouse. Max was already up and waiting at the door to go out into the humans' house to see if he had gotten the scooter. "You must be very excited, Max." said Papa Mouse. "Papa, I made a whole bunch of cookies last night for Mr. Santa, so he would get me the Cheese-A-Tron 2000!" squeaked Max. "Well, why don't you go and check under the tree, Son."
Max scampered to the big green tree. He ran all around, until... there it was! A tiny box, WITH MAX'S NAME ON IT! "Oh boy, oh boy!" said Max. "Could it be?!" He pushed the box into his hole and began to open it in front of his Mama and Papa.
It was the Cheese-A-Tron 2000! "Thank you, Mr. Santa!" said Max as he sniffed the handle bars. "Christmas is the best!"
At the end of the day, they gathered together as a family to watch their favorite Christmas movie through their little hole in the wall. "Mousey Chritsmas." whispered Mama and Papa Mouse. Max smiled up at them and whispered, "Mousey
Christmas."

Someone had flipped the calendar; it read December 1962 - Advent Season, my favorite time of the year. In America they called it Christmas season. I noticed the entire neighborhood, including my in-laws, busied themselves with putting strings of electrical lights on their houses and front yards trees. Some had lit up statues of a jolly Santa Claus, reindeer, or a snowman placed under trees or by the front door. After dark, the illuminated houses and yards gave a feeling of a supernal place. We bundled up and took Patrizia through this sea of lights and her big brown eyes glistened in wondrous delight. During our walks, I learned that Santa Claus came in a sleigh, loaded with gifts for all children, pulled by eight reindeer, and Rudolf,
Sitting by the fireplace under a warm and heavy blanket, the children and their mom slowly thawed out. The long day outside had been a frosty, fun day. The children built the best snowman in their world, or so they thought. They got to sled down a huge hill while pretending to be race cars. The children also got to have a snowball battle with their mom. To top off the day, the children got to drink homemade hot chocolate by the fireplace with mom. Who could have thought that you could have so much fun on such a cold day?

I was certain he was the real Santa because he fit the description to a T and knew my name, something he could only have known from reading Santa’s list. The rest of the awestruck kids and I followed behind him closely, our minds overflowing with questions. I listened intently as, one by one, each child had the chance to sit on Santa’s lap to talk about their year and what they wanted for Christmas. When it was my turn, my heart leaped and my breathing quickened. It was huge turnaround from hours beforehand when I couldn’t have cared less about the happenings of the Christmas party.
