Here is an excerpt from my ebook Punished By Mrs. Claus.

Despite his praise, Jack didn't take another bite of the cookie that Mrs. Claus had given him. "So what was it you said I was? The naughtiest boy in the world?"
"That's right," Mrs. Claus said. "When Santa makes his list and checks it twice, he picks out one person in particular on the second check. That person has been naughtier than anyone else in the world."
"But what is it I'm supposed to have done, exactly?"
"Santa might have sent a note along with you. Check your pockets."
Jack looked confused again, and Mrs. Claus realized there wasn't exactly any room for pockets in the outfit the boy had on. "Your shoes, maybe."
Jack took off one shoe. Finding nothing, he gave Mrs. Claus a dubious look. "The other, then," Mrs. Claus said. A yellowed scrap of parchment paper fell out, and Mrs. Claus picked it up. As she had expected, it contained a brief note in Santa's familiar script.
