It Happened One Christmas — Jackie Weger

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is a mother. I love Daddy, but I want a mommy like all the other kids.

My daddy hired this pretty lady, Annalise, to live with us while she decorates the house he's remodeling. When they thought I wasn't looking, 1 saw them kiss--and they weren't even under the mistletoe! I'm adopted, and Annalise would love a daughter like me. I like her a lot and everybody says we even look alike. Santa, I was wondering... Did you bring my present already is Annalise my real mommy?
