He rubs his eyes and scowls at the overflowing box.  Why did his
mother keep this junk?  Determined to finish, he soldiers on,
grabbing another handful of letters and bills.   As he rifles
through a stack of Christmas cards, a small white envelope slips
out, and the child's handwriting on the front catches his eye and
stops his heart.  "Santa Claus, North Pole."   He stares at the
spiky letters and with shaking fingers pulls out the small piece
of lined paper that's inside.

"Dear Santa,
I have been good.  Please bring me a talking Crissy doll. And
please bring my brother Fox a model rocket so he will be too busy
to tease me.  Thank you. 
Love Samantha Mulder."

He reads the words over and over until they blur under his
damp eyes.  Is it too late for his own letter?

"Dear Santa,
Please give me back my sister.  I promise never to tease her
again."
