Elf Yourself by Landon Dixon There's a new Santa in town. Earnest Elf discovers that it's hard times at the North Pole as economic recession and elf over-reproduction lead to lay-offs, discontent, malcontents and a full-on elf insurrection. Earnest himself has a thriving meat and blubber business, a hydroponic oathouse on the side, and his own gripe against the red-suited fat man so he's neutral, cool to both sides. Then Evelyn Elf pays his frosty abode a visit, and her tale of Snowtopia woe melts more than his heart ... Christmas Keeps Coming by John McKeown It's not shaping up to be much of a Christmas for New York shopping mall Santa Jerry. He's being blackmailed by horny Mob wife and Santa Claus fetishist Nuala. But while the proud, hard-working Italian-American is enjoying the kind of payments she keeps on extracting, he knows he's in serious danger. If Nuala's feared mobster husband finds out what's going on, Jerry could soon be sleeping with the fishes. Santa's Knee by Bethany Goring Deputy headmistress Angela is on duty at Santa's Grotto in her school. Sensing that she's lacking in seasonal goodwill - and "hasn't had any" in way too long, the big man in red takes a hands-on approach to teaching the teacher a stern and painful lesson. He won't stop until her bottom is glowing like an open fire and he's made her believe in the spirit of Christmas - for the most intriguing of reasons... Mistletoed by DK Jernigan As the owner of a small business, Marcus sees no escape from the multi-office Christmas party, despite his ingrained dislike of the entire holiday season. What he doesn't expect is for his frigid mood to be warmed considerably by the charming Rob, who he encounters at the party - and who happens to own one of the other businesses in the building. Sparks fly under the mistletoe, and perhaps Marcus will be able to skip out of that party early, anyway ... A Christmas for Carol by J Smith It's been three months with no boyfriend and no sex, and when Christmas Eve arrives, Carol's spending it alone with eggnog, an X-rated DVD and her vibrator. When she resolves to live a celibate life from now on, three ghosts of Christmas appear and try to put the willies up her in an effort to get her to change her ways. They show her sex in her past, present and future, but can they get her to change before Christmas Day? These stories also appear in Santa's Hot Secrets
