Well, if you are pondering a little over the title, let me elucidate that for you. I was just having aĀ little fun playing with the different meanings of the word āfigureā. By the way, that was a figureĀ of speech used, a pun, well intended. If this brought a grin on your beautiful face, the purposeĀ is served.Ā
Two days before Christmas Eve, my friends and I went to an interesting place for our winter holidays. Suddenly, while exploring the place, we all fell into a spooky tree trunk. We were terrified when we found ourselves around a cold place. We were shivering due to the chills and thrills.
This year, Santa is not able to send gifts to the children all around the world as he has met with a tragic accident.Ā He is wailing in pain and panting due to panic and discomfort. He is hoping to recover soon and praying fervently for himself and the children whom he does not want to disappoint.
āGood morning betaā, said Maa.
I wanted to wish her back, I really did, but there was a lump in my throat and I wasnāt able to speak, so I just nodded.Ā
āI have someone I want you to meetā, she continued, trying to make conversation.
“Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Rudolph and Blitzen FLY DOWN! FLY DOWN!….. WHOOSH”, bellowed Santa as they were in the air. Santa pondered as he was about to deliver the last batch of Christmas Gifts and he dreamt of sipping hot chocolate with Mrs. Claus and other elves in Santa Village soon.

It all started when Santa Claus was packing his gifts for the kids of the world. He found something weird about his chariot. When he took a closer look, he discovered that one of his reindeers was missing. He knew that his chariot couldnāt fly even if one reindeer was missing. So, he set out to find the missing reindeer.
It was the night beforeĀ Christmas Eve and Santa was busy packing all the gifts. Meanwhile, the Grinch had sent his spies to know what Santa was up to and after his spies returned, they informed him that Santa was packing presents. The Grinch was fuming and wanted to stop Santa. So, after Santa had fallen asleep, the Grinch stealthily crept up to his house to rob all the presents. But he made a loud thud when he fell down from the chimney and Santa woke up startled. He darted outside and saw the Grinch, who challenged him to a fight.
Itās that time of the year. Everybody has asked Santa for something. Santa wrote to everyone that he had met with an accident and broke his leg.Ā
