Jimmy’s Christmas List

Heart to heart with the big red guy

By Andrew C McDonaldPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

So little boy what do you want to be when you grow up?

I wanna design bloody games to make people throw up

Really? No policeman? Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief?

Nope. I wanna make a cool new D&D motif.

I see… so can you make money doing that?

Of course, just gotta take it to the mat.

What does that mean little boy?

It means you gotta really make it icky and gory.

I see. That doesn’t really sound so nice.

Oh it’s a blast. In my new game I have exploding mice.

Don’t lots of kids want to do that these days?

Yeah, but who cares what they says?

Well, I do. it’s kind of my job.

I guess. Sorry about that Bob.

Santa, not Bob. Do you have a second job choice?

A social influencer on TikTok with a great big voice.

Wow. So what do you want for Christmas this year?

A Play Station Five and a copy of Zombie Apocalyptic Fear.

No bicycle or maybe a really cool new sled?

Nope. I just wanna see zombies kill people dead.

Well, here’s a candy cane. Back to mom and dad.

Thanks Santa. Unless you let me down, I’ll try not to be bad.

Threatening Santa will put you on the naughty list.

But I know where you live fat boy. Get the gist?

…….

What a precocious little lad.

Let’s see.. Jimmy Brown.. Naughty… How sad.
