A Newfangled Christmas Read Online Free PDF

Missus had heard all the commotion and
had come out to see what was going on. We stood there hand in hand,
listening to the Elves call out the names of the electronic toys
they each wanted to learn to make.
    The Missus stood on her tippy-toes and
planted a kiss on my cheek. Then she snuggled close. “You did it,
Santa. You saved Christmas,” she said softly.
    My heart was swelling with joy. So what if
I’d had to learn to use a computer? I thought. It hadn’t been so
hard. And who cares that I’d had to become a techie to make
electronic toys? It had all been worth it. Every dadblasted bit of
it.
    Because girls and boys everywhere would have
a merry Christmas this year, after all!
