Twilight Zone-like music plays...
Narrator :
The traditions of Christmas are some of the oldest and most widely adopted celebrations of the year. At the heart of these traditions are love, peace on earth and goodwill towards all men, fueled by a spirit of giving.
But 42 year old Damon Harper sees the ability to Give as just another way to Take what he normally could not have and that means a trip to...the Erogenous Zone.
Twilight Zone-like music plays...
It started in July. It was one of those lovely sunny London afternoons and I was sitting on the deck of my flat enjoying the sounds of the city. Across the street and two floors below me, Cindy Lou was sunning herself in a bikini that made my heart race.
Cindy bloody Lou (who was not more than 22)! That Grinch guy had it right...send her back to bed and then stuff a tree up her chimney, if you know what I mean. She'd turned me down twice for a night out and thus I was left lustfully imagining what I'd do to her.
Ah the Grinch...now there's a classic literary role model for you. Stealing Christmas. Granted he went about it all wrong...you got to be smart about this stuff. If you're gonna nick Christmas you gotta go through existing channels. You don't just imitate The Man, you would actually have to...
Bloody hell! Wait a minute, wait a minute ladies and gents...I think I just hurt my brain! I got me an idea so good and crazy as it might just work. The Grinch got sacked because he tried to Take too much and that broke the system. He got sucker-punched in the heart and went all squishy. But if you use the system to Give and just happen to Get a little along the way you might be able to bend it without breaking.
See, the Grinch tried to steal All of Christmas. I don't need that. I just need to nick a bit o' that Christmas joy and funnel it down between me legs.
I've got 6 months to prepare. This is going to be brilliant!

I am SO ready for the fatman.
I dug deep into the lore of Mr. S. Claus for 6 months and found some remarkable facts about Santa. Did you know that he doesn't visit every home that gets a toy? Nope, there are just too many. Most gifts are delivered by magic and just appear, but Santa does handle the Special Cases. Those who were either So Nice or So Naughty that the delivery must be insured.
I spent six months being Really Naughty. I'll spare you the details, because that would be story in itself, but suffice to say it seems I excel at Bad Things.
Next interesting tidbit is that he, as an individual, has no magic at all. It's all the outfit. His Accoutrements, as it were. The Boots allow him to teleport anywhere and move silently (no chimney required...that was the only possible explanation 400 yrs ago and it stuck). The Coat and Pants allow him to change his shape (camouflage) and the Gloves will put anyone into sleepy forgetfulness. His Glasses allow him to know each person's name and history by glancing at them. The Bag is not some sort of wormhole to the Workshop, but a manufactory much like a mythical cornucopia...it produces whatever the bearer asks for. And finally the Cap. This is the real kicker. If you're wearing all the kit...and the Cap...anyone that sees you will instantly recognize and believe you are The Santa Claus.
Sweet setup, right? Nick his kit, and Clausio, the big SC, is just another naked little elf.
Now you might ask 'But Damon my mate...how could you possibly catch the fatman to steal his gear? It sounds near impossible and I'm sure people have tried everything before?'
Very true, very true. But as far as I can tell, most people have not cross checked their mythologies. You see Santa is an Elf. He's not just the Boss Elf. He's an actual Elvish breed. And that means that while he's immune to every know poison, drug and sleep inducer, he also can't stand the touch of cold iron. Not really part of any metals we use in normal life today. Cold iron is much to brittle for most modern uses, but it it cheap and easy to obtain from certain artisan craftsmen on Etsy.
Cold Iron filings in his milk and more baked into the cookies. If I've got the dosage right, he should be out for about 3 hours.
3 bloody hours...and I'm going to enjoy my Ho, Ho, Hos.

It Worked! It Worked! Ring the bloody Silver Bells it worked! He's out like a light and I'm putting on his gear as fast as I can. I instantly know how each thing works as soon as it's on...so cool! When I strip him of the coat and pants the fatman changes into a 3 ft high miniature pointy eared person.
Just another elf. I wonder if those bastards take turns? I tie him up with ribbon and put him under the tree until I get back. Then I instruct the suit to bulk me up...make me look older but not old. A shorter beard with just a trace of grey. Custom tailoring to the suit. Damn, I look fucking fit!
Time to put the 'X' back in Xmas!

Ho One...April Morrow. Mother of two, wife to a bag of shit (not just a piece) fuckup named Dexter. Fit as a fiddle...and capital S stacked up top. By the way, do you know that 'fit as a fiddle' comes from comparing the shape of a woman to that of a violin? Merry Christmas to You.
At a party a few months back I happen to overhear a tipsy Mrs. Morrow telling her best friend something juicy and it set my imagination on fire. So I teleport to her bedroom to commence with the giving.
April and her husband are sleeping back-to-back in their queen bed. I spend a few minutes examining her with the Santa Specs (it sounds cooler than Glasses), and when I'm ready I reach out and gently stroke her auburn hair.
"April" I whisper.
"Go to sleep Dex." She mumbles.
"April" I say again, stroking her cheek. Her eyes crack open and she sits up with a start.
"Who the fu...what? How? Santa?"
"Yes April. It's me. Merry Christmas"
"I don't understand. Do you even exist? You don't look like I expected...you're, well, younger. And slimmer. I'm sorry...that's a lot of questions, I'm just..."
"I get it dear. You know it's really me...and much as I'd like to explain everything to you, it's a pretty busy night for me." I smile gently.
"Of course! I'm sorry...uh, can I get you something? A cookie?" She immediately looks sheepish after asking what she thinks is a silly question.
"No. I just need to deliver a gift. You've been especially Nice this year!"
"I...thank you. I really did try."
"This toy is for you." I reach into the bag and pull out a J-shaped pink vibrator with a pretty red and white stripped bow.
"Um...what is this?"
