All of the horrible Christmas carols around her made her sick to the stomach. Didn't it creep people out that the legend of an old, fat guy sneaking into your house and eating your food, leaving behind presents was one of the most known myth?

That was what boggled her, because that actually happened. A stranger had broke into her house and stole the presents her parents left her, replacing them with traps that would eventually shove her into the streets.

Christmas was overrated and the energy wasted could've been used for something better. Such a tragedy, all this merriment for nothing.
