"Selling Christmas card," said the lad.

"Well, you've done very well.  Sold them to lots of people, obviously."

A mother took her five year old son to a mall to say, "Hello" to Santa Claus, who in turn, asked. "What would you like for Christmas, sonny?" 

"A bicycle, a football, and a pair of skates." the youngster replied promptly.

"I'll certainly try to see that you get them," said Santa. 

Later, the mother and son visited another mall and stopped to see Santa there.  Again the same question and the same answer, but Santa asked, "And are you going to be a good boy?"

The boy turned to his mother and said, "Let's go back to the first mall; I didn't have to many any promises there."
