NEWT POV:

I woke up and looked at the alarm clock. 11 o'clock. 11 O CLOCK. I OVER SLEPT. I bolted up and quickly got ready. I put on my shoes and ran to the workshop. I made it and entered. 

"You're late" said Santa. 

"I'm sorry, I over slept. My alarm didn't go off" I started but Santa looked at my shirt. 

I looked down and froze. I was wearing my black jeans and Halloween shirt. I forgot to change. 

"It's not Halloween Newt" said Santa. 

"I know, I just changed into the wrong clothes. I was in a hurry" I said. 

It wasn't a full lie. Just partly. Santa said nothing. 

"Come with me" he said. 

I said nothing and followed Santa. He took me to the medical center. I was told to wait in the waiting room and Santa explained what was going on. I don't understand. I'm perfectly normal. Santa went back to work and I waited to be called in. 

"Newt" said the doctor. 

I got up and walked to the room. I sat on the chair. 

"So you have been experience a lack of Christmas spirit" asked the doctor. 

"I guess, I just don't feel like making toys is for me" I said. 

"What is for you then" asked the doctor. 

"I don't know. I just know something is missing. I feel like I don't belong here. I actually want to be a pumpkin carver" I said. 

I sat there nervously. 

"But, that's more halloween" said the doctor. 

"I know, I don't know what is wrong with me" I said. 

The doctor thought for a bit. 

"Well, there is two options" said the doctor. 

"What are they" I asked. 

"One, go back to being a elf and ignore the Halloween part of you" said the doctor. 

"What is option two" I asked. 

"Surgery to change your DNA and remove the Halloween part of you" said the doctor. 

I sat there nervously. 

"I'll stick with option one" I said. 

"Good, that is a safer idea" said the doctor. 

"Is there anything else" I asked. 

"Nope, you're free to go back to work. Here is a candy cane" said the doctor. 

I took the cane and left. I'll eat it later. I put the cane in my pocket and went home. I changed into something more better for here. I left the candy cane at my apartment and went to work. I was painting toys again. I decided to paint the train cars red. That's it. Threw out the day I tried to ignore the Halloween in me. I can't. It's not working. I love Halloween. The pumpkins, the candy, the decorations, everything. I sat at my station after work was finished. I don't feel like going home. A small ghost light was put in front of me. I looked over at the person and saw a zombie. 

"I figured it would cheer you up" said the zombie. 

"Thanks" I said. 

I looked back forward. It was Halloween so the Halloween town sent some one to each holiday town to share their stuff. According to the zombie's name tag his name is Gally. I looked at the ghost in front of me. It is cute. But I'm not allowed to think that about Halloween. I wish I was born in Halloween town. Or at least a human. Then I could like what I want. The holiday leaders which would be Santa, the Easter bunny, pretty much who ever is the ruler of that holiday, anyway they all got together and decided that we are allowed to share our holiday with each other but we have to like ours more and stay in the town you are born. I bloody hate it.
