The Tiny Red Sack

Jingles looked at the two sets of eyes glowing the in darkness between the sofa and a bookcase.

“Santa.” Jingles called out to Santa. ”Please wait.”

“Okay, Jingles.” Santa replied. “But we have to get going the night is almost over.”

Jingles turned his attention back to the two cats hidden in the shadows. He warily approached the sofa.

“Hello.” Jingles said quietly, as he tried to coax the cats out of hiding. “I am Jingles. I have brought you a Christmas gift.”

The cats slowly crept out of the shadows. Jingles heart raced as the two felines moved into the light cast by the Christmas tree. One was cream coloured with lynx points and the other was brown with chocolate points exactly like Jingles but without any white socks. Jingles heart jumped as he realized that these two cats were his brother and sister.

“It is you!” Jingled cried out in joy. “It is me, you brother.”

“Brother?” the chocolate pointed male replied.

“Brother!” the cream coloured female cried and moved quickly to Jingles side. “You don’t know how good it is to see you.”

“We never got to say goodbye.” The male said as he rubbed his cheek against Jingles. “One moment we were asleep and then the next thing we knew we were gone.”

“He cried lots that night.” The female replied.

“I did not.” The male replied.

“Did too.” The female shot back.

Santa leaned down and whispered in Jingles’ ear.

“Now you know how they ended up on the Naughty List.” Santa said. He added pointing to the male, “Actually, if he jumped on the female of the house once more in the middle of the night, he was going to get an asterisk next to his name. And that means a big piece of coal.”

“You both don’t know how much I have missed you.” Jingles said with tears in his eyes. “You have to come back to the North Pole with me. There is the biggest Forbidden Cave for us to explore.”

The two cats looked at each and then they took a step backwards.

We can’t leave.” The female said sadly.

“This is our home Jingles. “ the male added. “We belong here.”

“Jingles.” Santa pointed at his watch.

“I have to go.” Jingles said. “But I will come back next year and see you. Now that I know your names, Ruffles and Monkey, I will be keeping an eye of the Naughty List for you.”

“What is the Naughty List?” Ruffles, the female cat asked.

“Whenever a human or animal does something bad or inappropriate, they end up on the Naughty List.” Jingles explained. “If they do something good, they end up on the Nice List. At the end of the year, depending if they have been Nice more than they have been Naughty, Santa brings them a gift from his Toy Workshop.”

“Is that why we got a catnip mouse?” Monkey asked.

“Uhh. No.” Jingles replied. “I brought you the catnip mouse because I found out that all the cats were only on the Naughty List.”

“That’s terrible.” Ruffles cried.

“And a little unfair.” Monkey added.

“I know.” Jingles said softly. He then turned to look at Santa who was getting very anxious to be on his way. “I have tried and will have to keep trying to convince Santa that a cat is always nice when it is being naughty, and even more naughty when it is being nice.”

Jingles placed his tiny red sack over his back and walked towards Santa.

"Are you ready?" Santa asked as he prepared to open the portal.

"I am ready to go home, Santa." Jingles replied.

"That's good. " Santa smiled as he opened the portal." Because you and Sammy have a lot of work ahead of you repairing the hole you put in my sleigh."
