Showing results for "Christmas Eve" in Humorous Fiction

Twas the night before the night before Christmas (that's Christmas Eve Eve). And Santa was wiping his brow on his sleeve. Green elves were sewing, blue elves were counting, red elves were carving. The pressure was mounting! It's the day before Christmas Eve and Santa is ever so busy...he's got presents to wrap, reindeer to wake and a sleigh to start. But has he forgotten something? And, more importantly, will he be ready in time?

The stories Told After Supper, related by the guests at a Christmas Eve party, are about ghosts and have all the wit and whimsy of Jerome K. Jerome's more famous works.

Christmas was fast approaching, and Santa, as is usual at this time of year, had a full day planned. Someone was coming to visit him. It was someone important; a writer who wanted to write about his reindeer. It didn't quite end up that way though, and in fact, you likely know the poem he ended up writing. It’s called ’Twas the Night Before Christmas. You know it. You do. It’s the one which mentions all the reindeer except for Rudolph. Maybe you’ve wondered why Rudolph wasn’t in the poem. Well, I know why, and if you listen to this story, you will too.
