"Oh, you bought me a golem! How sweet! But you know I've converted to Christianity, honey." Francis

I am only happy because maybe now we can start to rebuild our lives." drg
"Just sign it, lady. Two former Heads of State, a music legend, and an underrated third base All-Star have died in the time we've been out here." David John

"look, johnny. your innocent father has been released from guantanamo, where he was mistakenly imprisoned. since he had no way to argue his innocence, he was held there for four years. he is in restraints and a hannibal lecter mask because he's been relentlessly tortured. he's basically been rendered insane -- he'll probably need to stay in that straightjacket forever to prevent him from attacking you or your sister. happy holidays."

"With an eyeless facial expression like that you'd be a good delivery boy someday, Timmy."
"Oh look, Roddy, the new model from Rossum's is here. I'm sure this year there won't be any bloodthirsty genocidal massacres. I still miss your father. Especially during the holidays."

My lawyer worked with his lawyer and we modified the restraining order so that your father could spend Christmas dinner with us. You better start faking the smiles like I am because now that I see him, I don't really trust those buckles. I remember last year and I don't want to lose another son.

But that's alright because Mr. Lorenz was once honored -- way back in 1995 -- with the National Cartoonist Society's 'Gag Cartoon Award.' So, he must know what he is doing, right?"

Embarassed yet again by the awkward-timed arrival of yet another bizarre sex toy her husband bought, Maude swallowed the last of her pride, ignored her children's cutting sarcastic comments and pretended that the bush she dressed up as a christmas tree was Billy, the son in Iraq, who always made her proud. But, unbeknownst to maude and the children below, the angel on the lintel's drinking problem was getting so bad he had resorted to drinking yards of beer just to get over the montony of suburban life in Connecticut.
This was a christmas none would soon forget.

Stitchface always knew he was different. Ever since he was little and other children never wanted to play with him. Over the years, though, he worked hard, going to law school and rising to the top of his profession, despite all the jokes and mean comments he heard people whispering behind his back. The one thing he was never successful in obtaining, however, was a family. No matter how many wonderful like-minded women he won over with his witty intellect and kindhearted affability, it always ended the same way, with the woman in tears, torn apart she was breaking up with him for no other reason than out of worry that if she didn't, their kids might have stitchfaces as well. As he got older and financially secure enough that he didn't have to work, Stitchface grew more and more reclusive. The Holidays were always a grand affair. With nothing but time on his hands, he constructed a stage set in his backyard, worthy of a Hollywood production. Every detail, right down to the painted wooden people cutouts, meticulously hand carved. Stitchface would strap himself down like he was some monster, and in the fantasy he played over and over in his head, would be dumped off on some random doorstep because not even the Institution, where he imagined he lived, wanted a freak like him around anymore. But then the family that was home, taking a look to see what was going on, and conveniently devoid of any male head of household, would fall in love with him at first sight, signing for his release and demanding he be removed from his shackles immediately. And then once inside, where it was warm, each of the kids would hug one of his legs and say, "oh, Stitchface, we're so happy you're here", while the lady of the manor took his coat and asked if he wanted a drink before dinner. Then the kids would whisk him upstairs to show him their rooms and play video games, before they all sat down to a fabulous Holiday feast, where they'd discuss politics, and whether they were going to open up their presents Christmas Eve or Christmas morning. Afterwards, they'd sit down on the sofa as a family and watch 'It's a Wonderful Life', or 'Miracle on 34th Street', while the dog curled up at his feet. Then reality usually came crashing through and Stitchface would hear the real life carolers going door to door, singing. The moment of truth drawing near. They'd stop in front of his residence and he'd hear the familiar hum of somber deliberation followed by the inevitable footsteps as they passed over his house, fear ultimately winning out over pity. And that's when the tears would really start to flow, with Stitchface cursing the day he was born. How many more years, he thought, could he possibly be expected to go on like this before just giving up? Two? Three? Ten? Only the God who made him this way knew for sure.

Oh my dear children - you look so surprised! Don't you remember when I told you that Santa knows who's been naughty or nice? Did you think that I was f@#*king making that up? My poor naive darlings...
Now bring him in.

ever since the polar ice cap melted and the reindeers went on the endangered species list, Santa has been overseeing all of the deliveries himself despite his lack of sanity, with the help of the ogres that have now replaced the elves. What can I say, kids, we live in uncertain times.
