Ghost of Summer Visitors

GHOST OF SUMMER VISITORS, THE WORST CHRISTMAS STORY YOU WILL EVER READ. ONLY THE STRONG SHOULD FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF FICTION...based on a true and genuine tale told time and again since 1928...

It was a bad idea. I told Uncle Walt who owned the only department store in Cenral City that having a Fairy Princess instead of a Santa in the main window wouldn't fly. People who love Christmas want to see fat Santas, not fairy princesses. But Walt was stubborn. As it turned out, I should have kept my mouth shut. Had I not tried to get him to find a fat Santa, there would be eight more people alive today. So, Walt relented and decided to do it both ways. A Santa and a Fairy. Sheila Pozek was the obvious princess, everyone agreed. She was the it girl. Santa? In Central City, there were no fat men. No, not one who could play the role. "So, we will run a classified for a Fat Santa," Uncle Walt decided. He ran the ad in the New York Times. Three weeks later, Central CIty was full of fat, short men with white hair and beards.
