One Christmas Eve, a young woman lost her job, had her car stolen, and her boyfriend cleaned out their bank account before leaving town with her best friend! She decided to end it all. She went down to the wharf and just as she was about to jump in, a voice shouted, "Stop!" She turned around and saw Santa Claus. "What's wrong?" he asked. She told him her story, and admitted she was there to commit suicide. "Your luck is about to change. I am, in fact, the real Santa Claus, not a fake mall Santa, and every Christmas Eve before starting my rounds, I help people in need. So, for you, young lady, I'm going to put your money back in your bank account, and when you get home your car will be there along with a telegram from your boss asking you to come back to work for more money than you made before, plus your boyfriend will be there begging you to take him back." "Oh, Santa!" she exclaimed. "Thank you! What a wonderful Christmas present. I wish there was some way that I could repay you." Santa replied, "Well... there is one thing that I haven't had in years..." and pointed below his big shiny belt buckle. She was surprised, but figured after all those favors, it was the least she could do. So she did. Afterwards, a pleased Santa asked her, "How old are you, young lady?" She replied, "22, Santa. Why?" "Ho, ho, ho. Aren’t you a little old to believe in Santa Claus!?"
