Heather's Christmas Story: Santa was a Pirate

Heather — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 20:39:39 +0000

Author's Note: I wrote this story in 48 hours for the Abbey Bookshop Holiday Party (December 11, 2009). They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. In this case it was just easier to start with a pre-existing best-seller and a well-loved Christmas poem that to write something from scratch. And it also makes it easier to pretend the huge plot holes, geographical absurdities, warped sequencing and downright bad writing were intentional. Enjoy! ;)
