I got to the mall and found the store where I was to pick up the
aforementioned items. I paid for them, which I did not know was part of 
the bargain, but a guy's got to do what a guy's got to do. Then I set 
my face like a flint toward the exit door. 

Then I saw it. I had forgotten about this facet of the shopping mall at
this time of the year. But there he was, Mr. Santa Claus in all of his 
ho, ho, ho-ness. It dawned on me at the time that he was the one 
responsible for knowing who is naughty or nice. This was my 
opportunity. 

The line to sit on Santa's lap was finished and he was sitting there by
himself. I took the opportunity to go up and greet him. 

“Do you know me?” I asked him with the broadest smile I could slap on my
face. 

“No,” he said thoughtfully, “I don't believe we've ever met.” 

“Well, do you know my wife?” 

“No,” he said, stroking his beard. 

I flipped him a “thanks,” as I turned around and headed toward a little
bakery I knew had some apple fritters. Due to the sensitivity of the 
situation, the place will remain anonymous. 

Eating my apple fritters I thought about what Solomon said, “Whatsoever
thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor 
device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goes” 
(Ecclesiastes 9:10). 

It is not naughty unless someone connected with my wife sees me. Because
I firmly believe, one person's naughty is another person's apple 
fritter. No names revealed.
