Flashback: Santa's Christmas, 2009 - Part 1

(i)

This year,
though not by choice,
Santa Claus is spending Christmas
with his in-laws.

Ask him why
and he'll just sigh
and say
'Because...'

(ii)

Indoors

grim as a blizzard
prickly as holly
charming as a burst pipe

Mrs Santa...claws!


To be continued...Tomorrow reindeer trouble with Rudolf the Red
