[secret santa: misha b]
[As requested, Santa answers young Jerome's letter. A package arrives for the family, with gifts for each, and a letter to the boy written in flowing script that his mother will likely have to read for him.
Dear Jerome,
I write to you not so that you may prove or disprove my existence to the other boys and girls at school, but because that your only wish, if I were real, was a gift for your mother. It does not matter if you believe in me or not, your good heart should be rewarded. You are your mother's knight in shining armor.
Merry Christmas,
- Saint Nicholas
For the mother, there is a bottle of perfume in a velvet pouch, one worn by the Santa's own mother once upon a time. The bottle is an intricate piece of glass and silver, the scent a sophisticated floral with a hint of vanilla. Tucked away in the pouch so that the children will not see and the illusion will not be destroyed, are three one hundred dollar gift cards. One to the local gas station, one to the local department store, and one to the local grocery store.
For Jerome's younger sisters, are two soft rag-doll girls with twin braids of yarn hair. One wears a pink dress, the other wears purple.
For Jerome there is a vest and a pair of pants made of a silvery fabric, fashioned like a suit of armor, along with a wooden sword with a leather belt to fasten it to the boy's waist.
And though Misha did not ask for a gift, he got one just the same. A small box containing a Christmas tree ornament of delicate blown glass in the shape of a fiddle, and a note detailing what the Santa gave Jerome and his family.]
