I hated the entire Santa mythos from the time I was a little child. Surveillance? Bribery? Mean reindeer? What garbage!

So a few months ago I wrote a little Santa horror story, "Red Christmas":

What kind of "red" is this Christmas? ALL THE KINDS OF RED 🔪🩸🎅🏻

A digital painting with a black silhouette of a reindeer plunging through snow. Red paint is scattered diagonally across the canvas, crossing over the reindeer's head. The faint outline of an elf riding on the reindeer's back can be seen. It is very ominous and murderous.
