Jason Stoddard has written a fantastic Christmas story which has been posted on futurustic.  The ending is one you may not expect and this story really made my day.  I have tried about 6 sentences to describe what this story represented to me but I cannot figure out how to describe it.  the Story takes maybe 10 minutes to read and I highly recommend you take the time to do so, it is well worth it.

“Not so long ago,” David said, “Santa Claus was just a story. You may have heard it. A man who lived at the North Pole, who worked all year with his elves to bring gifts to all the good little kids in the world.”

“Santa’s in Alaska,” Sandra said.

David nodded. So she’d been doing some research. “He is now. But back then, he was just a story. Kids believed in him for a while, but then they found out that their dad was eating the cookies that they left for Santa.”

“And no sleigh,” Sandra said.

David smiled. “Kind of hard to have sleighs in Los Angeles.”

“I guess so.”

“But one day, a smart man named Jack —”

“Jack Frost?”

“Jack Hammond, actually.”

“Oh.”

“Anyway, Jack had a great idea. He saw the UDS driver wearing a bright red Santa hat while he made his deliveries. And he thought, ‘Why couldn’t they dress up as Santa Claus and deliver gifts to people on Christmas Eve? It’d be like Santa for real.’

Head over to Futuristic for the rest of the story:
