It’s been four years since anyone has seen Santa. Four years
since any kid got any presents. There were Christmas trees and Christmas
decorations but without Santa everything was useless and no one could predict
the aftermath of what was to come.
The first year that Santa didn't show up, all the kids
thought that Santa couldn't make it for some reason. But you know kids these
days, they are well connected to each other through this magical communication
voodoo called the Internet and very soon they found out that Santa didn't visit
anyone. The milk and cookies remained untouched and nothing but thin air under
the Christmas trees. (Well come to think of it, it was thick air since thin air
rises to the top. Some science bullshit I read in my school textbook.)
Soon the kids around the world started thinking that maybe,
just maybe they were not nice enough that year. That led to a wave of children
being all good the whole year. There was no bullying in schools; none of the
parents were troubled that year. You could see children on the streets helping
out people with their daily chores and homework was completed before bed time
but soon came Christmas time and everyone went to bed on time but there was no
sign of Santa, same as last year. The second year was different. The kids all
around the world went into deep depression and still no adult cared about the
disappearance of Santa. A group of scientists tried reaching to the government,
they tried to inform them the threat of having no Santa but the government was
busy with oil, money and nuclear weapons. Everything went grey and no kid
smiled that year. Parents spent all their money on clowns and counselors just
to get an ounce of giggle out of their kids but nothing happened.
The third year was worse. Some of us called it the apocalypse.
The children grew impatient of waiting for Santa. This led to children from all
around the word to start a riot. There was no concept of NAUGHTY AND NICE
anymore. They broke in toy stores and stole everything, there was graffiti on
the streets and the kids started reading the dictionary just to find out bad
words. No one attended school and no one slept on time. They ate sugar till
they went hyper and after that they were unstoppable. No parent could hit their child. The children
made their own relief camp and just in case anyone got beat up by their
parents, the children from the relief camps would make life a living hell for
them.
By the fourth year, the government took serious action.
Since they couldn't use force on the children, they made it mandatory for
parents to buy presents for their kids and make them believe that Santa left
them for the kids.
The world slowly started
stabilizing and the children started believing in the naughty and nice pact. On
this very Christmas, a miracle happened. There were more gifts under the trees,
more than the parents bought for their children. There was a note on every
extra present. They were all addressed to parents.
It read, “Christmas is not only
for your kids, it’s for you also. I want all my children to be nice and believe
in miracles. Spread the joy and Merry Christmas.
Love,
Santa.
P.S. Don’t hate me haters. You guys
need me more than ever and try leaving some brandy for me next time. It’s damn
cold out there.”
I guess Santa has gone cuckoo in
the head but then who cares. As long as I’m getting what I wished for.
Christmas IS for kids as well as grownups. My parents still
send me presents and they tell me that Santa sent them and I’m 21 now. I want
to be their Santa as soon as I get done with my college. Keep your Santas happy.
Keep reminding your Santas that you need them no matter how old you get.
Merry Christmas
everyone. Stay warm. :)
