the elves built a new workshop and yes there’s a but they didn’t use one-call and their phone lines got cut isolated up north poor Santa missed some calls he lost the warranty on his sleigh and an order of soccer balls he missed the call about Rona and the mandate for a mask Santa had no P.P.E. just some schnapps in a flask there was a global pandemic much to his surprise he was stopped on a rooftop and could only see eyes he was greeted by a cop in a hazmat suit Santa was drunk without a mask and had to reroute they took Rudolph to the Zoo and impounded his sleigh now Santa is under quarantine for the next fourteen days

Congratulations on your win. Your line, "now Santa is under quarantine for the next fourteen days," guess no gifts this year. This crazy world has made a drinker out of Santa. Enjoy your win with blessings.....................

After having the schnapps, Santa probably wasn't worried about PPE. You told quite a witty story, Mark, and I hope we can get Rudolph out of the zoo. Maybe the cop in the hazmat suit can help with that. Enjoyed very much! Congratulations on your placement in the contest and have a merry Christmas. Best wishes, Carolyn

Thank you Carolyn for the generous placement. It was a fun contest. As far as Santa and Rudolph we'll just keep our fingers crossed.

Baddd Santa. He'd have been better off using the Schapps to sanitize his hands! LOL at you giving the virus a personal name of Rona. Don't get any more personal with it than that. A fun write, Mark.
