Who's That?

Henry POV

Roland and I are out in lawn making a snowman while Robin is putting lights on mom's house. We are walking around trying to find tree branches for the arms when Roland asks me "Henry, who is Santa?" I smile and turn to face him. "Well only the greatest, jolliest man alive." Roland smiles before he sits down in the snow giving me his full attention. I sit down too and start to tell him about Santa.

"Well far away there is place called the North Pole. There lives a man named Santa Clause. He lives with all his helpers and they're called elves. Elves are short like dwarves except they have pointy ears." I lean up to tug on Roland's ear. He giggles and I continue. "Santa lives with his wife named Mrs. Clause. Together with the help of elves they make all the toys that little boys and girls want for Christmas. Now if you're really good Santa will even bring you presents when you're an adult like momma and papa."

Roland smiles and leans in practically begging for more. "What else do you want to know?" He thinks before he says "How does he know what you want for Christmas?" I smile and draw a little house in the snow. Then he draws a letter and an arrow connecting the two. "You write a letter to him and send it. It's gonna arrive at his house; then he knows what you want." Roland nods in satisfaction and I smile. Then he has this perplexed look on his face.

"Roland what is it buddy?" I ask with caution. "How does he know if you're bad?" Before thinking I say "Well he sees you all the time. He knows when you're sleeping and he knows when you're awake. Whenever you're bad he writes you on the naughty list and whenever you're good he writes you on the good list. If you have more bad then goods you get coal for Christmas but if you have more goods then bads you get your presents." Roland looks at me wide eyed and says while he stands up "so he is watching me right now?" I nod, and then Roland bolts for the house.

He's crying which catches Robin's attention. "Shoot." I mumble and chase after him. When I get to the door Mom is hugging Roland playing with his moppy hair. That boy is fast might I just add. "Roland what's wrong?" Roland sniffles and says "He- Henry says that he's always watching!" Roland wails. Then I hear Robin come into house and mom points at me! "Who sweetheart," Mom says. Her tone all light and sugary sweet, she says "Sa- Sa- Santa!" Roland barley gets out. I face palm my forehead.

Stupid, stupid, stupid! I made Santa sound like a creep! Mom looks up and meets my eyes with a glare. She picks Roland up and takes him out the room. I sigh and take off my coat when Robin puts his hand on my shoulder. "Lad you didn't know it would scare him." I nod and sigh. Robin goes back outside to finish the lights. I take off my black shoes and make my way to my room. From the stairs I can hear my mom humming Santa clause is coming to town.

I walk in to see her cradling the in shock Roland. "Mommy it's so scary." I see mom bite back a tiny laugh. I go sit on her bed and snuggle into her side. "No baby, Santa has a lot of boys and girls to watch so he can't watch you all the time." Roland looks up and dries his fallen tears. "Pinky promise momma?" He holds out his pinky and I smile. "I promise baby." Mom hooks her finger with his. Then mom grabs the remote and moves to the head of the bed.

"Come on my little prince." I smile and move to her side. We cuddle under the covers and she turns on Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Roland giggles at the silly names of the reindeer. "Thanks mommy." I whisper. She only nods and kisses my head. "Just be careful when the Easter bunny comes around." I laugh and nod my head. Mom sighs and starts to brush our hair. Before I know it I'm fast asleep.

A couple hours later....

"Awe look at them." I hear someone whisper. I groan trying to block out the voices and snuggle closer to my mom. "That's so cute Robin take a picture." I hear a click which I assume is the camera. I open one eye and see my grandma and Robin and Emma just looking at us. I yawn and sit up to see mom is in the middle of Roland and me. Roland is lying in the crook of neck I was laying in the crook of her back.

Roland starts to whimper and snuggles closer to mom. She pulls him closer and I smile. "Hey guys." I whisper. Everyone waves and walks out. I smile and go back to sleep with my mom and my little brother.
