Excerpt:
From Yule: The Year Alex Got Everything He Wanted for Christmas
“So don’t you think that Santa would find it greedy of you to be asking for 156 things when you already have so much?”
Alex had pondered that for maybe a whole five seconds before he committed Mistake Number 3.
“Well, I can add a few more things to my list and then send the extra stuff I get to the kids who don’t have anything,” he said brightly. This had seemed reasonable to him, and it was a good start. He should have stopped there, but he didn’t.
“Besides, I’ve been really good this year. And Santa can make as many gifts as he wants, so why can’t I just send him the list of everything I want. I bet other kids send lists just as long or longer. A lot of the kids in my class already have a lot of the stuff on my list. And they get new stuff all the time. How come their parents always—”
At this his mother snapped. Maybe it was what he had said. Maybe it was his “tone.” But whatever it was, her next words had lost the sweet quality and were short, crisp, and direct.
“Because their parents aren’t your parents. And because having 156 things on your Christmas list is unreasonable and greedy,” she said. “Go to your room and pare that list down to the ten things you really want, or I will do it for you.”
“But Moooommm …”
“Now,” she said, with all the flexibility of concrete.”
