Santa Claus

The amateur dramatics club is full of big egos and legends-in-their-own-heads, so their spats aren't unusual. But when the theatre owner is shot dead during the christmas play, it's santa who pulls the trigger.

With the arrival of an unwelcome ex, a petition to end discrimination against spirits, and a second attack by st nick, the chances of a quiet christmas seem to be quickly disappearing.

Christmas is the most important holiday of the year. After the corresponding days that exalt the national pride of each country, such as independence day in the united states, victory day in russia, or bastille day in france, it's december 25 that articulates the life, the work and the economy in much of the world, including many non-christian countries. Since ancient times, the beginning of winter has been the occasion for most people to eat, drink, dance, and get together to beat the drum and take a break.

Ever since, santa has been known the world over for being delightfully paunchy and endlessly jolly. To most, these two descriptors alone are enough to conjure up his name, and lead them to envision a round-bellied, grandfather-type, clad in a fur-trimmed, cherry-red ensemble, armed with candy canes and a bottomless sack of presents, and blessed with a bushy, silvery-white beard.
