It was Christmas Eve. James was hot and tired. The suit he wore was itchy around the neck and he was trying his best not to be grumpy. He had been laid off from his job as a machinist at an aircraft plant in September and because of the glut of people out of work, there were few jobs so no matter how he looked he couldn't find another machinist job. Unemployment paid a little but not enough to pay his rent so he had lost his apartment and at 39 was sleeping on his brother's couch.
His brother David and his brother's wife Nancy didn't mind, or at least said they didn't, but with two small children they didn't have a lot of room in their apartment and Matt knew it put a lot of pressure on his brother's family for him to be living there. Matt had made his own way since high school and hated taking advantage of his brother and Nancy's goodwill.
He had taken the Santa Claus job just to make a little extra cash, so he might be able to buy his two nephews a Christmas present. The two boys, Jeffery and Timothy were fraternal twins and he loved them dearly. He knew if he couldn't get them at least something for Christmas he would feel terrible. He didn't mind the Santa job. In fact he kind of liked it. It reminded him of those long ago days when his pareused use to take him and his brother to see Santa. Because of those fond memories he tried his best to be a good Santa.
His ruminations came to an end as Robin, the bouncy 20-year-old redhead working as his Elf guided the next child up to him. He liked the girl. She seemed to be a sweet, guileless, genuine, wholesome young woman. She was a very good-looking girl too. He had spent some time fantasizing about her, but each time he did he always felt a bit guilty because of that sweet, innocent way of hers. He had also thought about asking her out, but with a 19-year difference in their ages he thought that would probably disturb her, and since he had no place of his own, he quashed that idea.
During their breaks, he found out she lived in the same neighborhood where he had grown up. They had spent much of their break time talking about it, comparing where they had played as children, about the people who still lived there and the local establishments like Marco's Fine Foods and the Corner Arcade.
During their conversations he also discovered that her birthday was on Christmas Eve. She told him how much of a pain it was to be born on that day because everyone wanted to combine it with Christmas. Their last day was today, Christmas Eve and he had decided to spend a little bit of his meager earnings to buy her a birthday present.
James smiled down at the little boy standing next to him and said, "Hello there young man. Would you like to sit on Santa's lap?"
The little boy nodded and James picked him up and sat him on his knee.
"Would you like to take a picture with Santa?" James asked looking at the boy's mom.
James saw her nod so he pointed at the camera and said, "Look right over there.." again he looked at the boy's mom and the woman quietly said," Scott," in answer to his unspoken question.
"...Scott," He finished his sentence.
The camera clicked as Janet took the picture.
James looked down at Scot and said, "So what would you like for Christmas?"
"I want a little brother," Scot replied in a soft lisping voice.
James had heard requests for all kinds of things since he began as Santa, but this was the first time he had heard this particular request.
James went over his Santa training and settled on a stock reply designed to get past such a question without upsetting the child, "Santa will try his best, but in case he can't get you a baby brother, do you have a second choice?"
"No," came the adamant reply accompanied by a scowl on the tyke's face.
James looked at the mom, grimaced and said to Scott, "Well Santa will try, but it might take some time."
"That's okay. I'll wait." came the reply from Scott, sounding older than the two years he was.
James sat the tyke on his feet and said, "You have a very Merry Christmas Scott."
The boy smiled and replied, "I hope you do to Santa!"
James glanced at the line and saw it was short. Down at the end he could see the sign that Robin put out to signify the line was closed. He glanced at the clock and saw they had less than an 1/2 hour left to work. He sighed and motioned Robin to bring up the next child.

As Donna guided her son Scott out the department store door she asked, " Scotty, why did you ask Santa for a baby brother?"
"Because I want one!" Came his direct and forceful answer.
Donna nodded and thought about the discussions she had with her husband Gary about having a second child. They both wanted one, but with the job market and the economy in Seattle the way it was, they were both cautious about expanding their family. They stayed ready though. Neither one of them liked condoms, but they knew if Donna used oral birth control it might take weeks or months for her to conceive once she quit taking them and they wanted to be ready to do it when they did decide to have a second child.
"Maybe soon. We'll see." She told her son as they headed for her car.
When they arrived home Gary was in a tee shirt and sweat pants sitting with his feet up on a hassock watching the news.
As she came into the living room he said, "It's getting worse. Boeing is down to 15,000 hourly workers from the 40,000 they had just a few years ago! Seattle's unemployment rates are at 10%! More than twice as much as any place else in the country!"
Donna nodded," Yes I know. It's bad. You're not in any danger of a lay off are you?"
"Not that I know of, but looking at Seattle in general I wouldn't bet on anything."
"Yes I can see that," Donna replied.
"How was the visit to Santa?" Gary asked still looking at the TV.
"It was alright.. Do you know what Scotty asked for for Christmas from Santa?"
Gary looked at his wife and replied, "Well, he loves dinosaurs so I'd guess dinosaur toys."
Donna shook her head and replied, "No, that's not it. You'd never guess it. He wants a little brother."
Gary's brow furrowed as he asked, " What did Santa tell him?"
"He tried to tell Scotty that he might not be able to. But Scotty wouldn't accept that answer, so Santa told him that he would try but it might take some time."
"With everything that is going on that's not a very good idea right now."
Donna nodded and replied, "I know, but it's difficult to expl..."
She was interrupted by her husband, "But we could use that old excuse forever."
Donna looked into his eyes as she asked, "Are you saying..."
"We should think about it and damned the economy and job market."
A smile curled her full lips as she replied, "I agree. We should think seriously about it."
"I'm glad you think so too. But it's 8:00 PM, Scotty's bedtime if he wants to get up early for Santa. And I want my present from you!"
"And what might that be?" Donna replied with a sly grin.
Gary grinned back, pulled a bow off one of the packages under the tree, pulled up her blouse and stuck it to her belly button as he said, "The best present in the whole wide world, you!"
"You want to shower first?" Donna asked.
"I already have!" He replied with a grin, "I'll be ready and waiting for you!"
Donna giggled, took Scotty's hand and led him off to his bedroom. Gary watched her go admiring the jiggle of her ass as she walked down the hall. The sight of it, the knowledge of what was going to happen in a few minutes made his cock grow ridged. They had been married 5 years and his wife still made him rock hard every time he thought about having sex with her. He went back to watching the news and his cock began to grow soft as his mind fixated on the news rather than the visual image of his nubile, sexy wife.
A half hour later he heard the bedroom door open, then close and knew Donna was on her way out. He got up and quickly turned off the TV. He had a tape of their favorite music in as he turned on the stereo. He pulled the condom he had out of his pocket, looked at it and set it on the end table next to the couch where he was sitting. A moment later Donna stepped around the corner from the hallway.
She was dressed in a light blue baby doll nighty that hit her at mid-thigh. Gary could see her nipple and the dark triangle of her pubes through the lace fabric. As he did his cock sprang fully to attention. Donna strolled over to him with a sultry look on her face.
She stopped in front of him and said in a low sultry voice, "So how do you want your present? A blowjob?"
Gary grinned, put his hands on the back of her thighs and ran them slowly up her legs until the tips of his fingers were nestled against her pussy and his palms were cupping her ass as he replied, "You know I like to get you to cum first."
"Not this time big boy!" She replied as she shoved him back and straddled his lap.
Gary could feel the warmth of her pussy enveloping his hard rod as she began to move her hips in a circle, rubbing herself against his hardness.
She leaned down and kissed him, a soft, sensuous, sex-filled kiss.
Then pulled her lips from his and whispered, "This is your Christmas present. So how do you want it?"
She felt his fingers dig into her hips as he groaned, "Damn it Donna! You know I like you any which way! But right now I want to be in you. I want you to ride my cock and make me cum!"
"Your wish is my command," She whispered, "are you ready?"
Her question was asked to find out if he had put on a condom in preparation.
"Yes! Are you?" Gary asked as he slid his hand down between them and slipped his fingers between her soft lips.
"Not quite yet, but...it won't take long if you keep doing that!" She huffed.
He pulled her mouth back to his and kissed her as his fingers explored her nethers. It didn't take much time and he could feel her entrance growing wet. Before long he knew she was ready. He pulled his sweatpants down, letting his hard rod free. He pulled it up using his fingers to guide it to her tunnel. He grabbed her hips and pulled as she slid down onto his hard rod.
"Damn! It always feels so good when I slide into you!" He groaned.
"Oh yes!" She replied as she began to move her hips.
Gary pulled her nighty up and off, leaving her naked. She pulled his t-shirt off and then leaned forward pushing her bare breasts against his chest. After a few seconds, he pushed her back and took one of her nipples into his mouth as he rolled and squeezed the other with his fingers.
She rode him. Doing the best she could to make her husband cum. She wanted it to be special.
