Auntie Claus' Attack On Christmas

By Carl Reader

Auntie Claus, Santa Claus' aunt, is an evil, magical elf who has always failed to ruin Christmas in the past, but now has the help of Malicious, who as the opposite of an elf is a self, and the Madison Avenue public relations firm of Steelman, Kreepo and Konmen. Together, they plan on destroying Christmas altogether and replacing it with Auntiemas. With the help of Wall Street's big money, Steelman, Kreepo and Konmen dive headlong into a campaign to discredit Santa Claus and establish the great new holiday of Auntiemas. They attack a gullible public with TV appearances by Auntie Claus, electronic posters on Times Square, newspaper and magazine articles and a presence on the web, among other public relations ploys. At a mass rally, Auntie Claus has one final proposal to establish Auntiemas and rid the world of Christmas, but she and everyone else counted out the jolly old elf too soon. Auntie Claus' Attack On Christmas is a holiday story for children and for adults who still have a lot of child left in them.
