Holding out the laptop, he screamed, “Merry
Christmas!”
She grabbed a hold of the computer and
yanked it, pulling him and the gift closer, trying to bite
him.
He kicked up an out, hard, catching her in
the stomach.
She stumbled back with a screech.
He darted for the door and yanked it
open.
“Give me the small velvet box,” he screamed
just before Mandy grabbed a hold of his shirt and pulled him back
inside.
He slipped on the mixture of bodily fluids
on the floor and went down hard; Mandy landed on top of him. His
vision started to go dark, but he fought against
unconsciousness.
“Lyle!” he heard a booming voice yell, and
forced himself to open his eyes. “Catch!”
Santa was standing in the doorway, and just
as Lyle opened his eyes, he flung something through the air.
Mandy’s jaws were an inch away from his
neck when the box landed in Lyle’s palm.
With a scared, squeaking, “Merry
Christmas!” Lyle slammed the box into the back of Mandy’s head
before he passed out cold.

Mandy, Lyle, and Kally sat in Santa’s
office, waiting for the big surprise he’d told Kally about. They
were all holding hands and enjoying each other’s company after all
the tragedy that had struck their existence and had almost torn
them apart. They jumped when the door flew open.
“It’s time!” Santa yelled. “Are you
ready?”
They all looked at each other,
frowning.
Lyle stood. “Ready for what?”
“Ready to help me deliver presents, of
course?!” Santa said with a laugh. “I know some foster children who
specifically requested your help this year.” He winked at the
entire family.
Kally jumped up and cheered, running to
Santa and wrapping her arms around his leg.
“I really get to help deliver the
presents?” she asked, looking up at him with big eyes, full of
wonder.
“Yes, dear,” Santa said, putting his hand
lightly on the top of her head and looking down at her. “I couldn’t
do it without you.” He looked up at her parents. “How about you
two? Are you ready to be Santa’s helpers?”
“Always!” Lyle yelled excitedly with a
broad grin on his face.
“Sure, let’s get going,” Mandy said, with a
twinkle in her eye.
Santa turned and left the room with Kally
right behind him. Lyle started to follow, but Mandy slipped her
hand into his and held him back; he turned and looked at her with a
quizzical expression on his face.
“What is it?” he asked.
Mandy smiled and looked down at the heart
shaped, pewter locket that hung around her neck. She picked it up
with her free hand and opened it; inside were pictures of Lyle and
Kally. She looked up at her husband with tears in her eyes.
“Thank you for saving us,” she whispered as
tears spilled from her eyes and down over her cheeks. “You saved us
both. You saved our family.” She stopped speaking, too choked up to
get any more words out.
“Shh,” Lyle said and stepped forward,
wrapping his arms around his wife. “I love you and Kally. I would
do anything for either of you. Now,” he paused and waited until she
looked up at him, “let’s go share the Power of a Gift with others
and hope the Magic of Christmas thrives for others like it has for
us!”
Arm in arm, they left the room and joined
Santa and Kally in the sleigh, to spread love, hope, peace, and joy
to the world.
