Santa's Snack

A mystery story about a grown man, an attorney, alone on Christmas Eve, who can’t allow himself to believe in Santa Claus.

But someone keeps eating the cookies. Every year.

Just as it happened in his childhood. Maybe Santa Claus really does exist.

Or maybe, just maybe, this skeptic needs to understand where the jolly fat man lives.
