Sometimes Bad Deeds can be turned to Good
Bad to Good
by Barry Penfold
"Are you Santa?"
Peter Wright turned as he removed his Santa Hat. A young boy stood next to him.
"Maybe"
" Well, I want my Mum to stop crying. She has no money for Christmas. Can you help?"
Peter removed his face mask.
"How did you get in here?"
"The door was open."
Peter smiled and looked down at his full Santa sack.
This was his chance for redemption.
"Put this over your shoulder. I will walk you home. Merry Christmas."
