Merry Christmas To All And What A Long Night

Chapter I After Christmas 

Hello Girls and boys from everywhere, I am St. Nicholas Claus of Myra, But you know me as Santa Claus. 

It was Christmas Day, and all the elves and Ms. Claus were waiting for me to come back to Claus village; it’s the village of Christmas. I finished the last house, and then I said merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. 

I used my wormhole to take me all the way from Alaska to my village in a few seconds, (I know, wow right), I crossed the inviable force field surrounding the village, and then the Christmas Operations Agent of my slay helped me land. “Merry Christmas,” all the elves and Ms. Claus said. “We began celebrating Christmas. We start by watching in our special snow globe all the kids waking up on Christmas with absolute happiness, with the work we spent all year doing. After Christmas Day ends, the great countdown begins at 365 days to 0 on Christmas day. There is still a mission on New Year's Eve. So I check the list of the kids waiting for me on that night once, then I check it twice, and of course I prepare Cole for the naughty children. Then the fuel holder of the sleigh would charge my sleigh with non-polluting fuel. All 9 of the reindeer (yes, Rudolph is real and yes, his nose is red) practice their flying. I clean my blue Santa suit. Yes, I wear blue on the new year, and I deliver presents. “New year operation starts in five fore, three, two, one go,“ said the new year Air Traffic operator. When I finish my mission, I say happy new year to all and to all a good year. I usually come back one hour before the new year. The same ending process happens, then I gather with my friends and family and do the countdown. “New year in nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one happy new year,“ we all say loudly. You thought that was it? No, we still got the sixth of January for the Armenians and the seventh of January for the Orthodox. I do the same thing I do on the 25th of December. On the 8th of January, the work of the year starts.      Chapter II the North Pole

Before I tell you about the work of the year, I will describe to you the North Pole. The North Pole is divided by four lands: the Land of Sweets, the Land of Snowflakes, Claus village, and the Forth Realm.Theses realms are surrounded by huge mountains . All the lands are ruled by the nutcracker castle. The land of the Sweets is inhabited by gingerbread men and women. And gummy women, men and bears. They live in gingerbread houses. Everything is made of candy in the Land of Sweets. Chocolate doors, cotton candy clouds, gumdrop bushes, snow made of powder sugar, marshmallow pillows, candy canes as trees, and more. By the way all the candy there is healthy and it’s not the same as the ones you buy and/or make.

The candy people are ruled by the gingerbread queen. In the candy forest lives the not-so-evil Christmas witch called La Befana. The Land of Snowflakes is inhabited by snowmen, snowomen, snowflakes and snow animals and normal animals. Of course Snowmen like Frosty, Crystal,Lien , the snowman, and his dog. Northern Lights the polar bear and his family are my best friends here and his cousin works as my security. There are also monsters like the yeti, Adlet, Amarok, the Abominable Snow Monster,(but he is called Bumble now) and other  monsters. They are ruled by the ice queen. Jack Frost is the husband of the ice queen. As for the Claus Village, where the elves, Ms. Claus and I live, there is the Christmas factory, boxing and raping factory, Christmas headquarters, Nicholas museum, and the normal things that are needed for normal inhabited places.

We are led by the Claus family (basically  Ms. Claus and I) as the name suggests. Even if we have a leader, we are not like most nations; we are a big family. We all try to help in our ways. We will explore more about that in the next chapter.

Chapter III: The Work of the Year 

Most people send their letters at the last moment, which makes our job harder, so please don’t do that. We take the letters and prepare the list with the child’s name and his wish. This is list number one, which has all kids, even the naughty ones. This process happens in the letter room. Then the geography elves write the map of this year’s trip. Then, at the Christmas headquarters, the sleigh-responsible elves calculate the amount of fuel the sleigh needs, judging by the map and prepare and make my very cool Christmas gadgets. The animal care elves feed and train the reindeer all year long. Now some people think that elves create the toys with their hands, but not anymore. In 2012, elves started to use toy-making machines to save more time (Sonia they have more vacations) When the toys are finished, they get sent to the boxing and wrapping factory. But first they got to be checked by the head elf, Betti. When they get wrapped, they go in the Christmas sack of presents. All that is operated and directed by Ms. Claus and me.Meanwhile, in the Christmas carol facility, the spirits of Christmas pas present and future are preparing to do there time travel journey for an naughty adult person (it’s not exactly time travel it’s more a simulation). In the North Pole everyone eats healthy versions of candy collected from our farms in the land of sweets. After the elves on the shelves and my helpers in malls pick up a report of a kid in the court of nice and naughty, he is judged to be in the nice list or the naughty list. Remember you’re nice till proven naughty (robin hood had a good heart but he was on the nought list) Final repairs are made to the sleigh. Flossie, Glossie, Racer, Pacer, Fearless, Peerless, Ready, Steady, Feckless, and Speckless are the substitutes reindeer. if one of the nine reindeer can’t pull the slay this year. Like when Rudolph got COVID.

Chapter IV: A Little History Lesson 

Just like in your city in the Clause village there are history classes “Once upon a time there was a very dangerous plague that was called the Plague of Cyptran.” Said the history teacher. “It killed a lot of people. One of those people was two married rich couple,Theophanes and Nonna. After their death, their child was orphaned. He was raised in the church of Patara. When he grew up, he became a very nice saint, Saint Nicholas,” “what is a saint” asked one of the pupils “a saint is a christian person who is always on the nice list”authored the history teacher. “He helped everyone; he freed slaves and gave charity. One day he saw three women in their 20s who were going to be sold in the slave market because their father couldn’t pay for them anymore and they were not married. Saint Nicholas was not convinced that women in that age should be dependent. He always thought that everyone should work in life, so he did not let them get sold and gave them a job in the church with a good salary.

He loved children and gave them nuts and coins. He went ones on a trip north to discover new lands, you see He was a very curious person who wanted to discover the undiscovered. After a 10 month he found himself walking in the snow. His horse was tired of walking, and his carriage was almost broken, he found a reindeer. ”maybe that could pull my carriage” he thought, and it worked, he named the reindeer Dasher. When he arrived, he found himself in our lands we did not speak his language but we were scared of him. Our ancestors tried to feed him to the snow monster, but he escaped  and ran until he found a group of Inuit hunters. Nicholas understood why the elves were afraid of him. He found elves in cages, so he freed all the elves and got back to the elf village. The elves rewarded him by giving him food and offering him hospitality and teaching him there language. He stayed in the KringleHouse with the Kringles until they made him a big and amazing slay, that slay will be pulled by Dasher to get him back to Turkey, but first he must get hunters to stop hunting elves. At night he wore a green cloak and gave all the Inuits presents and wrote on the presents in the Inuit language, which he learned  from the elves: “I will only give good people presents, and who hunt elves will not have presents“. When he did this, elf hunting stopped. The elves were grateful for what he did. when he left, the elves made a tradition of giving Inuits presents every year, so they don’t hunt them. When Nicholas grew old; he wanted to go live in a new place. He decided  to go live in Spain. In one of the villages in Spain, there was a cruel king who hated children. Children were very poor here and couldn’t have toys. So Santa made them toys. When the king found out, he made Nicholas a fugitive.” “What is a fugitive,” asked a pupil “Well,a fugitive is a human that is considered on the naughty list according to the human code” replied  the teacher  “So how is he a saint” asked another pupil “The naughty and nice thing is not very clear in the human culture” said the teacher “because different people have different opinions on that but everyone knows deep down inside what’s naughty and what’s nice. When the king made him a fugitive he knows that was naughty to call a nice person naughty. Santa entered kids’s houses at night through the chimney to put presents. Santa settled in and got married eventually with this lovely girl called Charis. They married and made a new family with the name of Claus. One day Charis got an idea, she told Nickolas to give the king himself a present. When the king got the present, his heart opened, he made the Claus family no longer fugitives and he transported them to a poor sad northern island, hoping they could make as much change to this island were every one hates each other. The islanders  called him sainterkaus. The Clauses wanted to have children, but they never had any. There was this day when Charis Claus got in prison because a woman who looks just like her did a crime, and they thought it was her. Santa was heartbroken. He was more sad than a sinner on judgment day. When he was sad sleeping, he had a dream of mango seeds in a pickle box supply. This dream was getting repeated over and over. He  decided to checked in a pickle supply to find authors. He found dead bodies; next to them was the murderer. Santa found the criminal who looks just like his wife. Even when she got arrested, Ms. Clause did not get out of prison because they were two different crimes. One day the murderer died in prison. The prison guard thought that it was Ms. Claus who died. When they told Santa the false news, he became as sad as a sinner in judgments day .”

Chapter V: A Little History Lesson part 2 

“Santa was isolated, but one day he got back to making presents, thanks to a great friend of his who happened to be the inventor of the naughty list, Christmas letters, and the idea of delivering toys only on Christmas. They started to deliver presents to more and more places outside Germany. One day Santa’s bell rang. It was his wife. He could not believe it; he fainted. When he woke up, he was very happy. Ms. Claus explained everything, and so they got back together. When Santa revisited the village of elves, Ms. Claus told him she wanted to live here. After experiencing life without her, he would do anything for her, so he accepted living in the North Pole. They got 7 more reindeer to pull the sleigh. No one could explain what happened, but everything became magical from that day.”

Chapter VI: T’was the night before Christmas 

T’was the night before Christmas in 2023

and all through the North Pole everyone was  busy. 

I prepared my red suit; the reindeer were ready. 

“Christmas operation number 1680

starts in five, four, three, two, one, on to the journey ,“ 

said the Christmas Air Traffic Controller, whose name was Snowy. 

The reindeer started running on the air of the night ski. 

as if it was water and started the fly. 

They arrived in the first city, Tautira. 

The first house was 1A route de Tautira. 

I keep delivering presents. I arrived in New Zealand, 

Here children leave for me a pint of beer and pineapple slices, and then I leave this island. 

Under every Christmas tree are some presents.

I do not drink alcohol, so I throw the beer from the window and then I advance. Every time I finish a city, I go to the bathroom. 

When I arrive in Australia, I start to eat cookies. And leave them cookie crumbs.

Australia is the reindeers’s favourite place because the kids leave carrots. 

Then I deliver to dozens of islands still weighing 385,000 carats. 

 Then I arrive in Japan they leave me KFC.

 and strawberry cake-flavoured Pepsi. 

In North Korea they keep shooting at me; they are as annoying as the Miser brothers. In India some people leave me kulkuls.

Chapter Vll: One more history lesson

A long time ago lived the giant Ymir who roamed the void of nothingness, an empty space between two realms is region was called Ginnungagap. When Ymir died the maggots in his carrion were blessed, they were transformed into the first elves. They loved in the realm of Álfheimr the land of l e beauty and fertility.The elves lived happily in there realm until one day the dark elves chased the out of there lands, who are the dark elves you might ask, all the maggots and grubs that feasted on the surface Ymir’s remains were turned to light elves but all the Thanatomicrobiom like fungi were turned to dark elves. After the light elves were chased away from there lands and parched on earth they spread threw the north  but most elves went west arriving to the pole north.They made fire with caul (later using it to reward the insolence of all naughty children of the modern world) and ate berries since berries were the sweetest food that was found in the North Pole. The elves later des covered candy! After this remarkable discovery the elves mainly ate candy in their life time.                                 Chapter VIII: the rest of the Trip Now in Madagascar I leave food for children and families instead of eating.I leave  them rice cakes and Buch de Noël. I go in Turkey after, my homeland. I really like this place. I go to see my old church, and I think, “how did giving children nuts started all this?". In Latvia kids leave me gingerbread cookies. In Africa they don’t give me food, which is great because I need a break from eating. In Sweden kids leave me a cup of coffee, which helps me stay awake.  

Chapter IX: Is it a house invasion?

Each year officer Fix tries to arrest Me for making house invasions and for counterfeiting toys. After communicating with NORAD, Fix now knows my every move. ”Ok, Santa  is in Denmark; now we could catch him by setting a trap. Santa likes red fancy cars, so we will park next to him a red fancy car and write in the car that it is a gift from Mrs. Claus,” said Officer Fix to his team. When I was putting presents in a house in Denmark, I got tired, so I sat and ate my bowl of risengrød, which is what kids leave for me in Denmark. Outside, the reindeer saw Officer Fix parking the red car. So Rudolph screamed for me. ”What is going on?“ I said . When I saw the red car, I was impressed. “Thank you, honey“ I said. I opened the sack of presents and put the car in it:(my sac is huge on the inside it’s another wormhole and it knows where I am so it pops the parents I need out). ”I was not expecting that,“ whispered Officer Fix. In my way to the next house, all the international police cars began chasing  me. I saw them, so I turned to golden dust (I use my hat to do that it’s one of my gadgets) and began giving presents at near the speed of light left Denmark ( if you’re wondering why I don’t use it the whole time it’s because it takes a lot of power to move with that speed, but I can still turn to dust). “We could catch him in Germany, said Mr. Fix. They got in the airport and took a flight to Germany. They got prepared to arrest me on Ellenbogen Street. but I was too sneaky  they did not see me. In Germany, people leave letters for me, and when one of the police saw that the letters were replaced by presents, they knew I passed by them. “Let’s give him his time and surprise him at the end. In the USA he is very busy; he could not pass by us this time if we wait there“ said Officer Fix. 

  Chapter X: Naughty list

I arrived in Italy, where kids leave for me clementines, trying to be healthy. In South Africa they leave for me stockings in the church. In the Netherlands, people leave food for the reindeer, which makes them happy.When I was putting the coal in a naughty house, I heard a scream in the bedroom. “Oh no, not again, I  said. When I entered the room, I found a red portal. I entered to find Krampus. Krampus and his brothers were born from the alps of  Krampusnacht he and his brothers (Belsnickel, Knecht Ruprecht, Père Fouettard Gryla and her sons) Icelandic they use to work with me but day after day they started coming up with punishments for the naughty listers.I rejected them all until one day Krumpus lead this monsters to a rebellion and they started there own thing, so every year I have to stop them.

     -  Stop! I said     ⁃    Why ,this is what naughty children deserve. Krampus said     ⁃ No children could become good if you give them the chance; they.       

As Krampus almost threw the kids in his cauldron, I used my “magic” to turn the fire into snow. All the kids were saved, and all of them promised to never be naughty again. “I will always be good from now on, one of them said. “I will make a school to make all kids on the nice list and have good jobs and be educated when I grow up,“ a girl said. As Krampus saw the children becoming nice without being tortured or killed.

    ⁃ I am sorry,I failed to use fear as a cleaning tool for society all this years I thought you were a fool, forgive me it is I who was the real fool. I should not have done this. I am ready for your torture. Krumpus said in a sad tone

  ⁃ It’s ok; I am not torturing you; I will put you on the nice list. I said    ⁃ Really?    ⁃ Yes, but on one condition. You get the kids back to their homes.    ⁃  Faire enough.

Krumpus returned all the kids to their homes and said, “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! I understand Christmas now!”.

Chapter XI: Emergency in the North Pole 

Everyone knows Father Christmas, but no one knows who Candy Cane the elf . He worked in the air control facility. He was always so jealous of Santa. People see Santa and Ms. Claus as gentle people, but Candy Cane sees them as famous people with fantastic magical power; they get a lot of free cookies, political power, and love around the world. He wanted that; he was ready to get all that by any means. This year he made a plan. When he was in the air control room, he said he wanted to go to the bathroom, but he actually went somewhere else. He went to a doorway only a few people knew about with a minor reindeer called Chaitt. He broke in and entered. The doorway led to some woods in Transylvania. He rode the reindeer and went after me. I was in France; I was putting presents in their shoes and enjoying the biscuits. Oh, my arch nemesis has returned, “I said. ”terribly made homemade Christmas cookies,“ I said. I tried to eat, but couldn’t; I went to the bathroom.In southern west Europe I don’t have much work because the poop logs help us, what are the poop logs, I have no idea all I know is that they poop presents and they help out in the Christmas community. Then I went to the UK where, they left me mince pie and sherry drink (which I did not drink). The same thing happens in Ireland, but in Guinness instead of Sherry (which Santa does not drink to). In Iceland, people left him laufabrauð, interesting knits. A few hours later, I arrived in Chile. I was putting the presents and ate a piece of pan de Pascua, which is like a sponge cake. Then, after I finishes in Chile, I skip Argentina because kids expect presents on January 6. Of course, you were waiting for me to arrive in the U.S. 

One of the presents I gave on my trip was a hippopotamus. It was too big, so I used the front door; it was the easy thing to do.Candy Cain arrived in the USA, and he had a bomb. He threw it at Father Christmas, Me.! Don’t worry; I’ve been alive since the 4th century. A small bomb won’t kill me. I woke up on the street, and I saw in front of me a police car. It was Fix who came to arrest me. I ran and ran until I found a hiding spot. I found Krumpus.

    -  Oh, did you finish getting the kids back? I said     ⁃   Yes, Krumpus said.     ⁃  Good, I need you!    ⁃    What do you need?     ⁃  Take this sake and this map and give presents to the rest of the world.     ⁃  I don’t know.    ⁃  Please OK 

I tried to use the white top of my hat to send a signal that I am not dead.Candy Cain returned to the North Pole as if he never did anything. He noticed that I was giving a signal. He was furious. Furthermore, he destroyed all the signal in the North Pole. He convinced everyone that I was dead. And that Ms. Clause is the only one that should go find my body. When Ms. Clause was gone, Candy Cain wore my hat (which he stole from me and replaced it with a replica). “Whoever wears the hat is Santa Claus, “Candy Cain said. He told everyone that I told him to replace me after my death. He colored the hat black and called himself Santa in black.

Chapter Xll The Twelve days of Christmas

For some reason all the elves under cover where not to be found. My body guard elf desapired, I was all alone. I realized that there was a present in my pocket which I did not give to Krumpus so he could deliver (I can’t remember why it was in my pocket). I must put the present next to the tree it belonged to.

“I saw the address and went to give the present in that address I got down the chimney but there was fire on the chimney “Ooooooooooh ahhhhhhhhhhahhhahahahaha” I screamed as my pants burned. I was fine, I was not injured .It turned out to be an ambush from Fix “there is a reason they call it the fire place, Santa “Fix said. I did not know what to do as Fix’s men surrounded me .I threw my self from the window and flew turning to coal golden dust with Christmas spirit

.Nanurjuk came to help Me .Nanurjuk is a friendly flying Polar bear .He gave me a ride to the North Pole .When Santa in black saw this he was furious that I am getting back to the North Pole. He knew if he weirs the hat for the twelve days of Christmas he would become Santa (lies).  He took flowers that make people sleep and opened the door to make me smell them .I fell asleep to wake up in the North Pole prison (I did not know we had one to be clear). One of the elves saw this and told everyone but no one beloved him .He went to the people who always believe him the twelve singers of Christmas .It was a band ,in this band there was a drummer who drums ,

a piper who pipes  ,a lord who leaps ,a lady who dances, a maid who milks ,a swan who swims , a goose who lays eggs, a  golden ring, a calling bird, a French hen,a turtle dove, And a partridge.

• So I need you to free Santa from The North Pole prison and take Santa’s hat from Candy before January 6 .Giggles the elf said

• Ok I have an idea .The partridge said

On the first day of Christmas the partridge hided himself in a pear tree that was next to Santa in black’s throne and jumped on him and tried to take the hat but couldn’t because the guards stoped him before for getting the hat off .On the second day of Christmas the turtle dove got an idea .She called here friend the turtle duck .the turtle dove came to Santa in black and gave him a turtle shell .at night the turtle duck got out of the shell. She wanted to take the hat but there were guards at night too .On the third day of Christmas the French hen got an idea. She got three snakes and threw them on Santa in black from the ceiling .but non of them hit the hat .On the fourth day of Christmas the calling bird got an idea . He called the guard who occupied the North Pole prison by phone (I did not know we had phones either)

• Hello I was thinking if you want a date with me, I am rich and famous ,I will bring shrimps with me.

• Yes I will go with you .the guard  said.

The guard got prepared to go on the date ,she went to the resturant  .As she was going to the date the calling bird went to the prison to free Me but on his way Santa in black saw him .

• where do think you’re going .Santa in black said .

• Ahh to  get the guard on a date .The calling bird said .

• Sorry she’s on duty now come later.

On the fifth day of Christmas The golden ring Got an idea .He offered Santa in black five golden rings in return Santa in black has to take the hat off and give it to me and free me. Even though Santa in black loved gold he resisted it ,He knew there are things that makes gold garbage in comparison. On the sixth day of Christmas the goose got an idea .She Broke in the castle that Santa in black was in .”Ahhh!!! I am laying 6 eggs”She screamed in pretend  but no one was there because it was the new year and Santa in black went to deliver presents in black. On the seventh day of Christmas the swan got an idea .She pushed the Santa in black in the water and ran .but he held to his hat so it did not come off .On the eighth day of Christmas the maid got an idea .She made a bottle of sleeping milk and gave it to Santa in black hoping that his hat would fall from his he as he fell. But he made someone to taste the milk before he would and when he fell asleep Santa in black knew he should not drink the milk .On the ninth day of Christmas the lady had an idea .She danced for the Santa in black so he could get his hat off but he did not .On the tenth day of Christmas the lord hade an idea .He pretended to be the king the 4 kingdoms (there is a fifth kingdom for broken or non functional toys but it does not really count ) “I order you to let Santa go I know you have him in-prisoned“ He said “Santa was dead” and showed him an empty prison so he had to believe him .On the eleventh day of Christmas the piper had an idea .He piped with his pipe and made Santa in black’s throne very foggy, when no one could see the piper he tried to take the hat but he did not see the hat because it was foggy .

Skidoo It is the last day of Christmas ,Santa in black had enough of these birds he looked himself in a room so no one could steel his hat .

• It is the last day of Christmas and no one was able to take the hat off .Jingles Said  .”Will the world have to accept this new Santa .he thought

• No Santa did not give up on all the kids of the world on all of us and we won’t give up on him when he needs us .The drummer said .

• It’s hopeless

• I have an idea !The drummer said .All our ideas failed but we did not give the time to ask why did the

The band revised on all there plans to make on solid plan.

On the twelfth day of Christmas the band was ready . They analyzed all their plans to make a hopefully successful one .So on twelfth day of Christmas  Santa in black found the band making a show he couldn’t resist and got out of the room to see the band singing .He saw the drummer drumming ,the lady dancing and the golden ring holding five golden rings .soon the pipers began piping .The room was foggy so Santa in black could not see anything .as he drank his milk he realized it was made by the maid so he fell asleep .then the French hen threw three French snails on the guards  the turtle duck came out of it’s shell and began beating the guards it was so that the calling bird can go to the prison room when no one could see him when the goose saw the guards beating the turtle duck she pretended she was laying 6 eggs and the swan threw hot water at the guards so they began chasing the swan .when the calling bird got in the prison room he said to the guard “I now I did not apear but now I am here and as handsome as ever “ The guard could not  resist the good handsome look of the calling bird “ I will get ready now “ the guard said “good call “the calling bird said .when she was changing he freed Me from the underground prison I was in the prison room .Santa in black woke up early before they could take the hat from him so the lord leapt on him and the partridge jumped on him from THE PEAR TREEEEE. then I came and took the hat and ran. and wore the hate before the twelfth day of Christmas ends .”No No “Candy Cain said as the guards took him the prison .Suddenly Ms clause entered .”I couldn’t find his bo…Wait you’r alive ”? Ms clause Said I explained to here everything .”Ok love birds I have a date to go to“ the calling bird said .If you are wondering yes this is where the story ends ,goodbye.
