Santa Hits the Snooze Button

That was an extraordinary Christmas for Santa Claus, his twentyfifth year of wintry journey without any pause. He decided to make it a special celebration of gifting on his part to the children adorably unique presents, he’d carry in the cart. In colorful foils he packed with care the gifts through the night, loaded them on the sleigh until the dawn’s first sunlight. As on downy snow-laid track the reindeer led by Rudolf charged, the chilling wind hit his face, made him aware he was so tired. He spotted a bench under a tree while crossing the sunny park, thought he deserved some rest after the night’s hard work. He knew he would find ahead no other better place to choose, so, he slumped on the bench, and soon slipped into snooze. Rudolph heard loud sound, didn't know it was Nick's snoring bout, got scared of the danger looming large, she had no doubt. With loaded sleigh the reindeer ran away as fast they could, leaving tired Santa to enjoy the frozen sleep in the wood. At sharp sound of cracking trees under the burden of snow, when he woke up fazed, reality to his senses came a bit slow. On the trail engraved in snow he ran, caught the fleeing reindeer. He was sure when he gave the gifts, him the children would endear. December 17, 2018 Contest : Christmas Cheer Sponsored by: Kim Rodrigues
