10: Santa Claus
Abigail was eight years old and she was starting to question the existence of Santa Claus. This greatly troubled her parents, Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty, because this would be her first year without gifts from the jolly fat man if her belief didn't rekindle itself. So Peppermint Patty came up with an idea.
"Absolutely not," Charlie Brown protested almost immediately. "There is no way I'm doing that."
"Come on, Chuck, you look just like him!" his wife fought back. "Just try on the suit."
"No."
"Please?"
"No!"
"You know," she began slowly, a grinchy grin creeping onto her lips, "There's something I find sexy about bearded men..."
Charlie Brown'a face flushed a deep pink and he scurried to get into the suit.
~o~
"Yay! Santa brought me a Barbie Dreamhouse!"
Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty sighed at the girliness of their little girl.
"Don't forget the totally cool boxing gloves!" Peppermint Patty tried desperately. But Abigail ignored her. Charlie Brown chuckled, throwing an arm around his pouting wife.
"I hate to admit it, but that Santa thing turned out to be a great idea."
She peeked at him out of the corner of her eye. "Chuck, you sly dog," she said with a smile.
He looked innocently at her. "What?"
she reached up and held his face him her hand. "You haven't shaved in weeks."
The man just shrugged in response. She laughed and kissed him as their daughter played on the floor.
Perhaps being Santa had its perks.
