The Christmas Adventure

"You know who that looks like" Andrew asked his older brother as he looked at the tv with the image of a hand showing.

"Um..Aunt Lily?" Mason shrugged.

"No way. That person isn't wearing an ugly Christmas sweater" Andrew pointed at the red and white fluffy sleeve.

"And besides why would she's never here on Christmas Eve. And, if she was, why would Mom and Dad leave her all alone in the living room in the dark?" Tabitha tilted her head at Mason, she was leaning next to a chair sofa Rookie on her hind legs leaning again the arm ledge.

"Maybe it was a burglar" Mason suggested not believing what his younger siblings was pointing to.

"Your such an idiot, Burglars steal things" Tabitha said looking at Mason.

"Who ever it was, would've had to been standing flat up like this" Andrew flat up against the wall to demonstrate to his Siblings. "Next to the-Oh my god! The fireplace! I just got goosebumps!" Andrew had a grin.

"Chill out, just let me think" Mason said looking back at the tv, dead toned.

Tabitha just rolled her eyes.

"Come on, Mason. You know it's him" Andrew said walking back to stand near him.

"How about you try and fit in the fireplace if you think Santa's not real?" Tabitha crossed her arms and looks at him.

"No! Are you crazy!" Mason said.

"You can't deny it Mason, You know it's him" Andrew said.

"Andrew-" Mason began to say.

"On my God! Hey! We should make a video!" Andrew cuts him off.

"A video?" Mason asked knowing it was stupid.

"Maybe we can get a shot of the whole Santa Clause tonight and not just his hand!" Tabitha suggested with enthusiasm. "Let's do it" she grinned as Rookie barked in excitement.

"Yeah!" Andrew smiled.

Both younger siblings double hi-fived each other with grins. Rookie barked wagging her tail. "See, even Rookie in!" Tabitha smiled.

"You don't think anyone's thought of that before? Catching Santa in the act?" Mason said starting to go back upstairs.

Andrew caught him before going up trying to convince him. "Yeah, but have you ever heard of anyone actually pulling it off?" He asked. "No! They probably don't think it's possible. But it is! This is proof!"

"A video showing how exactly how he does it!" Tabitha shout in joy as Rookie happily barked. Andrew nodded in agreement. Both younger siblings still trying to convince their big brother.

"No way" Mason said without hesitation before moving pass his little brother.

"Please? Mom always says we should be helping each other out!" Andrew said turning to Mason as he walked passed.

"I don't think this is what she meant by that" Mason said before trying to leave again.

Andrew sadly sighs and looks down. Tabitha frowns looking at her little brother all sad. Tabitha looked at Mason "Look, we'll give you back the tape of you stealing the car" Tabitha tells him "Finale offer. Take it or leave it"

Mason sighs. "Ok. Deal". Mason says now fully convinced after hearing that he'll get his evidence back. "You can never say anything to Mom about it. Both of you" He says making sure he gets most out of this deal.

Both younger siblings look at each other before placing their hands on a picture of their Dad before turning back to their eldest brother. "We swear" They say in unison.
