Burn from Santa
Despite Santa’s magical powers, he’s not an all-knowing miracle worker. This kid learned that the hard way when he asked his local mall Santa if his favorite soccer team, Manchester United, could win the league that year. Apparently, Man United was having a tough season and a victory was very, very unlikely.

Their performance was so bad that year that even Santa knew all hope was lost. Sadly, he told the hopeful sports-lover the harsh truth right in his face, “I can’t work miracles now, kid.” At least this mall Santa didn’t give the kid any false hope. That would have been worse, promising a win only to have his favorite team fall flat. He would have stopped believing in Manchester United AND Santa. That’s too much for one year.
