Twas the night before xmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a furry brown mouse. This was because a gas leak was slowly suffocating everyone.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, with silvery strands of old St Nicks hair, because last year when that fat fuck showed up, I was able to grab him by his hair and almost throw him down the stairs.
The children were nestled, all snug in their beds, while visions of standing in line at Wal Mart returning the crap gifts they got danced in their heads.
And mama in her kerchief and I in my cap, had just given up on sex because I’m all out of blue pills,
when out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, so grabbing my glock I did what I’m supposed to do and randomly shot
The bullets went flying, mama was screaming,
and there on the breast of the new fallen snow, lie Santa and toys, from his mouth came breath a-steaming.
“Hey Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and Vixen, hey Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen, it finally happened, what a surprise, an end to our fun because of a gun. I checked all my maps and thought what I thought, but must’ve thought wrong, and now I’ve been shot. So, to you my fine deer, and the rest of the world, I bid a merry xmas to all, and to all a . . . ”
Guess Jolly old St Nick didn’t make it!

See, this is a Christmas tale that makes sense to me.
*applause*
Encore. How about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Pedophile?
I KNEW it. That pervert.
So many saccharine Christmas movies to choose from! Thanks for this true life story, Once.
I’m with Salt on this. How about Frosty the Conman?
Finally, a Christmas story that is relatable. Besides it just points out the fact that a vehicle requiring eight names to be called before it starts up is a safety hazard anyway!
It’s all about the magic dust, 1957. Remember? A little for the reindeer, a little for Santa, a little bit more for Santa, a little bit more for Santa! Hell, they flew all the way around the world!
Yeah man, they got off!
Ahhh come on, a guy writes one goofy story about loose fitting gas pipes and bleeding mythical magi and suddenly everyone wants a xmas story! There isn’t enough gold, frankincense or myrrh in the world for me to complete a xmas trilogy! Maybe at easter, an expose of the illogical combination of rabbits, chickens eggs, and resurrected saviors. Hmmm.
You should tell the story where the elves eat venison in front of Rudolph and proceed to tell him that “he’s next”.
“Venison, yum”, they said while eyeing old Rudolf.
Lol. That’s morbid. I wish I’d thought of it.
