The last of the toys were loaded into Santa’s sleigh. Jingle McStockings sat up beside him with a big smile on his old, craggy face.
“Thank you, Santa.” Jingle’s voice cracked with emotion. “You don’t know what this means to me.”
Santa nodded at the hermit and smiled down at Sparkly. “You did well, Sparkly. And I do hope you have learned a lesson in all of this.”

“SPARKLY SPRINKLES!” A short, round, angry man stormed up to the elf.
“G-gilbert, sir, I-I was just coming to see you to–to tender my resignation.”
“Ha! You think I’d let you RESIGN after what you’ve done? Oh I don’t think so missy. You are needed at the Gazette. We have a new assignment for you.”
Sparkly puffed up with pride.
“Oh yes,” continued Gilbert darkly. “We have a very special assignment for you. Very special indeed!”
Sparkly gulped.
