Well, Vicki, I think the issue is obvious. It's not Christian to save all
the joy for yourself, so do what Tom Sawyer did when he was painting the
fence. Find a kid, preferably a small one you can intimidate, and tell them
to do your math or else. In Christian love, of course. Threaten them with
Santa not bringing them anything for Christmas if they don't help and then
when they're done and you get a good grade (and only if you get a good
grade) you tell him "Silly, kid. There's no such thing as Santa! Grow up!"
But only do that if you won't need him again.
Anyway, Matt told me that's what he does. Grin.
Always got a plan Lion (who's running away from Matt)
