The Santa Tracker

Little Billy is tucked under his covers on the Eve of Christmas, using every ounce of his will to remail still and keep his eyes closed; Santa is coming and he needs to be a good boy.

Billy can hear updates from the Santa Tracker on the living room television; he’s almost here!

“Maybe this will finally be the year I see him,” Billy thinks, “I just need to listen for the reindeer on the roof!”

The Santa Tracker turns off and is replaced with slow, creaking footsteps getting closer and closer to Billy’s room; the excitement is too much and he opens his eyes with the purest of anticipations.

Billy shrieks as he finds Santa leaning over his bed a few inches from his face, staring directly into his eyes and smiling from ear to ear.
