Dominic was right to Suzie to Pete's Place. He hoped her third class of mulled wine would warm her up.

santa's helper

Dominic enjoyed helping Santa years. Santa was not as agile as he used to be. He felt bad for the kids who stayed up to see Santa and saw a short elf instead.

santa pete

Pete's ship was in dry dock for repairs. It would be spring before he could sail. He had to make some extra cash. So far, this gig was easy. None of the kids wanted to sit on his lap and didn't ask for anything.
