The Gingerbread Boy


What's the matter Phillip?
I just don't think Santa will be able to bring me what I want.
Let's have a quick snack and then we can write him a letter.

Ok. What is that?

It's a gingerbread boy.
Is it made of boy?

No mostly ginger.

Why do you call it a gingerbread boy then?

Well, let me tell you a little story.......


One Christmas not so long ago, a smart boy and a smart girl set out to make Santa some cookies.

Girl:How about some sugar cookies for Santa?

Boy: You are kidding right? First of all we will be judged against millions of other plates of cookies and secondly, I am sure we are not his first stop so we need something that will be easy on his stomach.

Girl: I guess cookies are out then.

Boy: Silly girl. I have the perfect idea. Go to page 55 in the cookbook.

Girl: Oh, I see...gingerbread.

Boy: Let's make it into the shape of a boy so Santa will know it was my idea.

Twenty-four magical steps later, the gingerbread dough was finished. The girl ran to the sink to clean up. 


As the girl had her back to the boy, he knew this was the moment to add some extra ginger.

"Santa will feel an instant calm come over him after eating a bite of our cookies. He will be sure to reward us well, " thought the smart boy to himself.
