Brimming with laugh-out-loud Santa stories, How Santa Lost His
Jollies is a humorous take on Santa "events" from around the globe,
from Santa gropers, to flying Santas (Elvis impersonators), to
patented Santa traps, and of course, the usual kids (naughty) with
their Santa-defying tricks. Drawn from genuine, and documented,
news articles, How Santa Lost His Jollies reveals the trial and
tribulations- even dangerous situations -endured by today's Santa.
Well, not the real Santa, but those jolly old elves who work the
trade for dollars. Admittedly, it was one dark and dismal Christmas
Eve when in a desperate attempt to ignite my own holiday spirit, I
resorted to dredging up Santa-in-the-news events off the internet.
It wasn't long before I found myself laughing out loud. Therein
lies the beginning of How Santa Lost His Jollies -- as well as the
crummy feeling one gets upon discovering that the guy who delivered
your first bicycle is right now busy getting his nose bloodied and
a couple of eyes seriously discolored in a back alley, one quite
possibly located near you. Santa stories, like all holiday stories,
are meant to be shared. Accordingly, each Santa news event has been
reconfigured to include a short multiple-choice quiz designed to
keep both grinches and guests engaged and amused. You already know
the scene: Christmas day; cooks in the kitchen; kids squabbling
over noisy, blinking toys; teenagers tying up the TV with noisier,
electronic games; guys swapping fish stories; and the
self-appointed in-law joke-teller laughing at his own dirty jokes.
Time to open How Santa Lost His Jollies, assign the family grinch
to read the stories out loud and let the cooks, kids, and by now
slightly inebriated men-folk guess the punch lines. Only right
answers count.
