A Futuristic Christmas

A New King? The future Ebenezer Scrooge will be clever and unkind, but not that bright. Will he try to rule as king of kings, and put out all the Christmas lights? Or will some politician consider it wasteful, thinking he’s always right? Some will seek to band the holiday; hearts will become cold as ice. No more Christmas Trees? Will The Power of Mr. Green be in full force within a few short years? Indeed, he will think it’s his duty to clean the planet from ear to ear. Some, wondering what will happen next, will have realistic fears. Traditional people, and especially kids, will be brought to tears. Help! I think I'm Lost! Santa Clause will be forced to modernize and make changes to his GPS. Santa, Rudolph, and the newly acquired Solar Mobil will run their fastest. Santa will continue his timely deliveries, trying to do his very best. Where Are The Roasted Chestnuts? But the environmental laws will shut down the use of fire places. So St. Nick will be like a bird searching, but unable to find his nest. He won't be shut down, but he will be forced to operate with more stress. Dim Those Lights, Or Turn them off! The city lights on shopping nights will be dimmed to save energy. Businesses will be forced to offer the best sales of the last century. But some famous stores will close, and move into a whole new industry. And profitable businesses will no longer succeed with their latest gimmickry. Not To Worry!!! But not to worry, because Christmas Day will prevail, giving new life and meaning to the real reason. Merchants will grow weary operating business as usual, and introduce new and better ways. No longer will people be injured or trampled to death chasing sales on Black Fridays. Loving parents and other good people will still be happy and rejoice in The Holy Season. 11262015 PS Contest: A Futuristic Christmas; Mystic Rose, sponsor
