Santa is Ruthless

We always think of Father Christmas as a kind man. But what if Father Christmas was--under that red uniform--a mean-spirited ruthless brute of a man throughout the rest of the year? What if he put one of his deer in a pick-up truck, chucked it at the side of the road...and drove off...or drove to the Glue Factory to have the deer turned into masking tape to repair his sacks?

Write from the point of view of Santa Claus. Why did he dump the poor creature at the side of the road? What was the turning point? Did he have a nagging wife that wanted him to have the deer neutered at the vet's, which would mean bills....

Did the RSPCA visit him to investigate accusations of animal cruelty? Was Santa co-operative with the authorities? Or was he a boorish drunk whose behaviour was so bad, police officers visited.


Did the deer get its revenge? The possibilities are endless.
