I don't think you can imagine how expensive it is to hire an off-duty Sheriff's Deputy to dress up like Santa Claus and serve divorce papers on your wife at 8PM on Christmas Eve. Trust me, it ain't cheap but it was worth every penny. Santa was in character when we met behind the garage. He was perfect. The man had his own costume, including shiny black pate...
The Elven army stood on a green hill and waited for its commander to arrive. Private Shiva was in her beginning twenties. It was her first year after graduating at the Love University for Elves and her legs were feeling shaky. She turned her head and saw ten thousands of young, blond, green uniformed girls stretching out in every direction. "Newbie?", aske...
Note: A silly bit of fantasy. I hope you enjoy it. ~*~*~*~*~*~ "Jingle bell... jingle bell... jingle bell Rock..." God I hate that song, Lucy thought as she trudged, camel like, through the shopping mall, laden with last minute presents for nieces and nephews who never really gave a shit what she got them. She rested next to the fountain and watched the d...

Thick snow covered the streets, and even at the late hour, full of shoppers out looking for those last-minute gifts. Katrina was busy texting on her phone when the car pulled up to the curb in front of her building. She thanked the driver before stepping out and heading up the walkway, moving slowly so that she didn't fall. The building super had done a good...
Surveying his workshop, Santa frowned. It wasn't like him to be in a bad mood, but work was progressing slowly this year, and the number of good little boys and girls seemed to be at a record high this year. He was worried that they wouldn't finish all the toys by Christmas Eve. Now it looked like a pair of elves had taken an unscheduled break. A pair of ham...
It was Christmas Eve and I was all alone in my small shitty apartment. Everyone I knew was out and about spending time with their friends and families, experiencing the magic of the holiday season. Wow, those words leaving my mouth really pissed me off. Don't get me wrong, I'm not like the Grinch or anything, but I'm single, never married and no kids. My f...
"Alright, I understand", you say to your parents on the phone. They are stuck at the airport, on Christmas eve none the less! And by the sound of it, it looks like they won't be home until the day after Christmas. You sit on your couch in your pajamas. The air is cold in your house, but your lit fireplace is making concentrated warmth. You stare at...
Mike walked into the bar hoping to grab a few beers and watch the baseball game. He wasn't surprised to find the bar mostly full on a Saturday afternoon. He saw one open spot on the far side of the bar beside a white haired old man that looked a lot like Santa Claus, complete with the white beard. Mike walked around the bar and took the stool next to the whi...
Santa's wrists were broken. It happened when the moonshadow glacier calved. A block from the thickest glacier in the world ripped away, fell, and smashed onto dry ground, ringing the earth like a cymbal. Santa's Baublesmith Compound was only a quarter mile away and the seismic waves passed under it, rattling windows, tables, and elves. But the problem sta...
