I based my story on Becky Kelley’s wonderful Christmas song “Where is the line to see Jesus?” If Becky’s wish would come true, this is probably what’d happen…

(It’s morning at Santa’s house)

“How are you dear?” asks Mrs. Claus. 
“Weary of Christmas, those kids at the mall… they try my patience… “
"You’ll be fine," said Mrs. Claus.
"I guess you’re right. See you later…"

At the “North Factory”, the elves repair machines. Arnold seems particularly happy about Christmas.

"Hey friend, why so joyful?"
"You know, I have this new friend, and…"
"Aha… I need to screw… this… mm hmm… what were you saying...?"
"Nothing Dill, I’ll tell you later… I’m going to see Santa. Bye…"

Beholding the scene from upstairs, Santa wonders how someone can be that happy!

At the warehouse, two elvettes talk about Santa, 
“I hope he is in a better mood this year, Samantha.” 
"Me too, he’s always impatient. Isn’t he supposedly the happiest guy on earth?"
"Yeah, right!" replies Henrietta.

"Come in. Arnold, what can I do for you? You look happy. Did you win the lottery?" asks Santa
"The lottery, Oh, no! ... I know this friend from heaven and He is so kind. I was feeling down and troubled and felt sorry about my bad behavior so I talked to Him and…" (The conversation continues)
…"Do you think I could talk to Him Arnold?"
"Sure! You can talk to Him right now."

"Jesus, this is Santa. Mmm… I wonder if you could, do for me what you did for Arnold here. I mean, I am tired of those kids asking for gifts they don’t deserve and…"
(The Lord laughing) …giving them what they don’t deserve?… I love to do that! …it’s called Grace.
“I have been so impatient with my elves and my wife. Could you forgive me?”
“I forgive you Santa.”
"Really?" 
"Really my friend…"

Hundreds of children wait in line for a photo with Santa. But who is that man seated on Santa’s chair? 

A little boy approaches, he seems troubled. 
“Santa, can you help me?" 
"Sure. What troubles you?" (The kid whispers to Santa)
"HO, HO, HO! No problem… meet my new friend. Tell him everything. He’ll help you." (The kid sits on Jesus’ lap)
"What can I do for you, my child?"
"My parents are divorcing and… I love them… do you… think you could help them stay together?"
"Sure. Anything else? …"
"An airplane. I mean… if you can…"
"If I can? I made everything that exists, do you think I can?"
He kisses Jesus and runs to tell his mom about his new friend.

A little girl comes asking, “Excuse me, where is the line to see Jesus?”
"I’m here dear child. What do you need? says Jesus."
"My little brother is dying and… since you helped that boy… I thought… maybe…"
"Maybe I could heal him? Do you think I can?"(The conversation continues…)
