Betty the Elf watched the big guy. He was obviously a little distressed, the way he was slugging back the brandy – not the cheap stuff either – was a little worrying. It was bad enough the amount he drunk when he was doing his rounds. He came back all handsy and ready for the rolling pin from Mrs Claus, but starting this early… he was even starting to get paranoid about the reindeer of all things.
“Calliopenjo – Burberry! On Burberry! It has a ring don’t you think, Betty. Replace that glowing nose backstabber, eh? It’s a great idea, a new legend, perhaps a new song… we all have to start somewhere!”
“Luiglin – Now we have what, Reindeer who don’t know where they are and have to stop and ask directions? I’d have said preposterous, only it’s that red nosed blunder, so I’m not surprised, probably trying to get himself added to a classic he is not the hero of.”
“Stevietee – AMAZON! Freaking AMAZON!”
Oh, someone’s gone and done it now, thought Betty, Rudolph is one thing but daring to mention ‘them’ Oh dear.
“Stop hiding over there Betty, fill my glass. I need cheer. Ho ho oh.”
“Daysman – Hurmph, what’s this I see now, some other person trying to knock me off.. No, no I think this is someone doing something nice. Well, I must say I AM surprised. Trying to instil a bit of magic and wonder back into the proceedings, and no mention of the scarlet nosed backstabber.”
“Matteo – Whut? Oh he’s back. Can’t leave the little git alone can they. Give me my blasted Brandy… no, no screw the glass, just the bottle. What’s this anyway? Is it meant to be funny? Clause-alitiy drive I don’t get it. Ho. Oh. Hic.”
“D A Xiaolin Spires – He cut the ropes! He cut the ropes I tell you. At least those two cuddly cuties landed somewhere better than some of the realities I’ve seen. Looks a bit dark and dreary though. Betty what do you think?”
To be honest Betty did not know what to think. But what she knew was that things could deteriorate if some of the alternate visions did not improve. They could be heading to something worse than the Christmas meltdown of 1704. AT least he hadn’t started on the Whiskey yet.
