Zeke awoke in his own bed the next morning. Looking around, everything seemed normal. He questioned himself - Was it just a dream? What really happened last night? He looked out the window to see if there were tracks in the snow, but more had fallen during the night and he just couldn’t tell.

“Zeke, you up? It snowed some last night and your father really needs your help outside clearing a path to the guard tower,” called his mother.

“Sure mom,” replied Zeke, as he threw on some clothes and his coat before heading out to help his dad. Walking outside, he noticed that the path was already cleared and his father was standing at the base of the tower waiting for him.

As Zeke started apologizing over and over for not helping, his father just laughed.

“Hey sleepyhead, your timing couldn’t be better. Want to head up the tower and do some target practice?”

They scaled the tower and Zeke, who was normally a decent shot, couldn’t hit much of anything. He turned shame-faced to his father.

“Son, what’s wrong? Your aim is all off, your hands are shaking. You’re practically missing the ground with your shots today!”

“Sorry, dad. Last night something happened. Well, I think something happened, I’m not really sure. I was almost asleep when I thought I heard sleigh bells, and then... ” Zeke stammered.

His father looked at him soberly. “You met Santa’s Helpers, didn’t you?”
