Ah, December, season of joy and giving, season of bells-a-ringing, of snow softly falling…

Ha! December! Season of mobs and trampling, season of prices-a-rising, of cold and shovelling!

Aren’t you tired of warm and fuzzy Christmas stories? Let’s make this month’s contest a tribute to the decline of real, heart-felt Season’s Greetings. Get cynical, it’s ok! Get it all out now, so you can enjoy a relaxed, fun, and warm holiday season.

Let’s make this interesting:

Special Tags + : Your story MUST INCLUDE a palm tree and a cowboy hat.

Special Tags - : Your story CANNOT INCLUDE reindeer, real Christmas trees (fake ones are allowed), or the man himself, Santa Claus (feel free to dress up uncle Jimmy in your story, but no reference to the REAL Santa).

Word Count: 2000 words (yes I’m generous, it IS the season of giving after all)

Please refer to the Litmocracy contest guidelines here

Good luck all!
