The True Meaning of Christmas

Chapter 6

“What’s with that up with that big fat bearded oaf!” whines an unsympathetic, cruel, self centered Princess Morbucks.

“HE’S HAD A HEART ATTACK!” screams Asher. OH NO! Santa has had a heart attack. Just what is everyone going to do to save him? Will he survive?

Rudolph starts to take charge. “Lessbucks, go and stay with Snowman and The Elf!” he commands, “The Relentless Rebel Gang, go and revive Santa! We’ll deal with that spoiled cock sucker!” Everyone obeys his orders.

Just as Morbucks is about to put up a fight, Rudolph’s nose begins to glow and he fires a glimmering red laser at Morbuks which shatters her armour. She has nothing now to protect her. “DASHER!” Rudolph yells as he kicks Morbucks like a soccer ball to him.

Dasher catches her with his hooves. “Comet!” he shouts as he passes the ball to him. The Reindeers begin to play a game of Soccer with the battered Morbucks.

The Relentless Rebel Gang are trying to revive Santa. “Right Dudes! Let’s use some lightning!” Brandon instructs. The Gang build up static electric and release lightning bolts of hope against a stiff, lifeless Santa Claus. His body jumps to freedom but then slumps back down. The gang repeat this many times but the same thing happens.

“Oh this is hopeless!” sobs a despairing Asher.

“Come on, dudes! We’re doing great! Just keep it up!” Brandon encourages. The gang release one last bolt of lightning. Santa comes back to life.

“Where am I?” inquires a muddled up Santa.

“OH MY GOD! SANTA’S ALIVE!” Asher squeals as he jumps for joy.

The Reindeers stop the game and leave a battered Princess on the floor. Lessbucks, Snowman and The Elf also come as well to see the revived Santa. “Are you O.K?” asks a protective Rudolph.

“Santa’s fine!” Brandon reassures, “Let’s all give him some space. We’ll look after him.” Everyone obeys him.

The Reindeers focus their attention back on mauling Morbucks. The monster like Reindeers circle Morbucks and draw in on her closer and closer. Snarling and growling at her. Ready to chew her to death.

“STOP! That isn’t the true meaning of Christmas!” announces a strong voice. The Reindeers stop abruptly what they are doing. Everyone turns their head around. They see Pauper Lessbucks at the center of the room. “All this fighting isn’t good! What does it achieve?” she continues, “Santa has had a heart attack from this and nearly died. We don’t want to carry on like this! Christmas isn’t about fighting and hating, presents, fancy lights and all that superficial crap! It’s about families, caring and sharing! Celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ!” Everybody then holds their heads in shame after listening to this brave, truthful, kind hearted young woman.

She strolls up to Morbucks. “Princess, why are you so bothered about getting presents from Santa?” she asks, “You’re so rich that you can even buy his whole workshop. You have a roof over your head and a supportive family who are very wealthy, what more do you want? Why are you so evil? What pleasure do you get out of other people’s pain? Hasn’t there been a time where you were just happy with having a supportive family without anything materialistic?”

This automatically changes Morbucks from a spoiled brat to a humbled ordinary child. “Well I do remember….” she says as she starts to have a flashback. A memory containing happiness but also a lot of sadness too. She then tells her story to the group.
