My OperaGrumpy

Damn, this thing's heavy. Why's nobody happy with a book or a small toy anymore? If I had my way, they'd all get coal and be glad to have it, none of this games console rubbish. And why do they ALL need one? Why on earth am I supposed to deliver 3 PS3s to the Westenra kids - can't they play together? Share? But no - Muggins here is meant to lug 3 of the things across a slippery roof in the dead of night just so three spoilt brats can hide in their bedrooms all day.
It would be different if I was still in charge of the lists - she lets them get away with anything. How many on the naughty list this year? Six. Six out of billions - is she mad?! No, maybe I shouldn't blame her - not after that nasty incident with Johnnie Cochran.
And as for those anti-discrimination laws - did they ever think about me? That's my whole business! It's bad enough delivering to the snotty kids without having to deliver to the snobby parents too! Suits, jewellery, toasters, tvs - they're all in the sack these days. It's no wonder the elves are calling in sick more often when their workload increased six-fold overnight.
Well, we've had enough. Did you really think we'd sit back and accept this indefinitely? Really? Well, shove this up your stocking!

It's not going to be a series, but I intend to do a story every Christmas that may involve a twisted Santa. Not sure I could spin out an 'Al-Santa' series. I think elf suicide bombers would be a bit too much, for example
Last year it was Santa vs Reindeer, this year it's Santa vs The World

@rose-marie : and why wouldn't he have a list? Nobody's been getting him presents, and every Christmas he's out doing obscene amounts of overtime just so you can have a new pair of sneakers
He was bound to snap eventually
@Mik : WIC? I sense a
@SqueakeyCat : i could certainly write more either set after or before this story, but i'm not sure i'd like the turns it would take. I don't often write follow-up pieces, especially when i've got several others to finish.
@everyone else : Thanks for reading
KimberlySqueakeyCat # Saturday, December 27, 2008 3:12:35 AM
and i agree, it could take on some nasty turns if it were expanded

(I am an IT person - have been studying programming - so I know a bit about it).
No other operating systems, but Windows can be used my masses of people, who don't have a clue about programming and how things work...
And I - personally - like Vista. For the looks.
It all depends what you expect of your computer...
PS. Apologies about the offtopic.

@rose-marie : what kind of little something? Cookies? Don't you think he's a bit bored with cookies by now? Perhaps he'd like a bit of Metallica blasting out while flying his sleigh all over the world - did you ever think of that?

Why not a book to give him something to do while flying over the Atlantic?
