Christmas is Cancelled
"Do you know I've about had it," said the three horned being.
"Not again, please I don't want to go through this again," replied the lizard creature.
"We have too talk about it and make a change. Every year the same thing, we get this one day.."
"Here we go. Yes I know, every year. Go on, get it off your chest, if that is what you call that part."
"I'm just saying that Halloween comes one day a year and then it's gone."
"Yes go on, what about it."
"I've done it for 20 years with you, but on my own I've been celebrating Holloween for almost 100 years when I was nothing more than two horns, two claws, twelve fingers, and my skin was young and purple."
"Alright Betty White, what's your point?"
"Years ago we built up to the big day and then scared children and stole their big bags of candy. When candy was candy. Today, candy is not what is used to be. No, today people go to their stores and read labels before they buy."
"Is this about candy?"
"No, it's about the day after. We're forgotten until next year. I want more like that fat guy gets."
"Do you mean Santa Claus?"
"Stop, I get nauseous just mentioning his name. But yes, like him. On the day after Halloween they'll be putting up decorations and celebrating for weeks. Singing and eating. That's what I want. Singing and eating. I want to come out of the dark and have people sing about me and eat..."
"What dead animals like we do all year."
"I hate living underground in this cave and sneaking out at night. I can't be seen until Halloween, what kind of life is that?"
"I'm sorry to tell you Moog, but it's our lot in life."
"I'm going to change that."
"How, write halloween songs?"
"NOOO, we're going to kidnap fatty."
"Who fatty?"
"Santa, stupid. We're going to kidnap Santa."
"How original, have you ever read The Grinch Who Stole Christmas? You know the Grinch."
"You mean the one who lives over in the next state."
"The very one. Moog it just makes you a copy cat. Don't you think Santa is under high security. Look at all those stupid elves. You can't just walk up to him and take him."
"Then what are we going to do. Another October 31st, and 'Oh kids run I'm going to scare you. Run, scamper, go on.' Please, there has got to be more, I can't live this way."
"I've got it!"
"What is it?"
"Twister's got a computer doesn't he?"
"Yeah, what about it."
"Tomorrow we open accounts on Facebook, Google+, Pinterest,Tumbler, and whatever else we can join."
"Then what?"
"We start telling people that Christmas has been cancelled this year. Get all our buddies to post morning, noon, and night the day after Halloween. There is no Christmas. We'll flood the Internet. People will believe anything. And we get help from you know who in Washington.
He'll tweet all day, he owes us, not those Russians. They had nothing to do with him getting that job."
