Boy Sets a Trap to Catch Santa on Christmas, Hears a Scream from There at Midnight – Story of the Day

A little boy sets a trap to catch Santa Claus red-handed and hears a loud scream from the living room at midnight. Startled, he runs downstairs and freezes in shock after turning on the lights.

Seven-year-old Ted was a huge fan of Santa Claus. His love for Kris Kringle reached new heights when he got his dream Xbox last Christmas. Since then, Santa has been his TRUE hero, and Ted believed he was REAL. The boy’s classmates laughed at him whenever he told them Santa would slide down from his chimney to deliver presents like last year.

“Santa doesn’t exist, dummy! You’re such a baby!” they mocked, but Ted argued and stood his ground. He was curious about how Santa pulled his tricks to surprise everyone every Christmas. So on the night of Christmas, Ted set on a serious mission to catch Santa red-handed…

“Roger, honey, come quick. He’s stuck… He’s STUCK in the chimney,” Ted’s mother, Polly, shrieked after seeing his legs dangling from the chimney.

Ted was disappointed at not seeing Santa, so his dad took him out to make a small sleigh. It was a replica of Santa’s, and Ted was overly pleased. But he had a small worry.

“Cool, daddy! But how will we make them fly? Where will we get flying reindeer?” Ted asked Roger in a serious tone.

“Son, they are with Santa, and only he has them. We don’t have flying reindeer,” he said, but Ted was unconvinced.

“How come, daddy? If we have Santa’s sleigh, we have to get his reindeer. How will we get them? How will my sleigh fly without reindeer?”

Roger was too annoyed and tired of explaining things to Ted. He blew up and said: “If you see Santa, ask him!”

Ted took those words too seriously and realized the only way to talk to Santa and borrow his reindeer was to catch him. A strange idea then struck him.

Ted browsed the internet, looking for ideas to make traps, and...
