Last time, Santa and the chew toys were sneaking around Santa’s gingerbread castle, working their way towards the throne room in order to find and kill the wretched Frosty the Snowman.
After about thirty minutes of walking, they made it to the castle throne room, found Frosty the Snowman, and killed him.
“Well, that was easy,” said Santa. “Okay, I’ll see you guys later.”
“Wait, what just happened?” asked Squirrely.
“We just killed Frosty and saved Christmas… 2010,” said Cowhidey.
“But, after all that story buildup,” said Squirrely.
“Well, what can you do?” said Santa. “Now, if you will all gather around each other I’ll cast a dumb magical Christmas spell and send you all back home.”
“What about Jingly?” asked Cowhidey.
“Oh right,” said Santa. “I’ll have to send her back later since she’s not here.”
“Do you have to?” muttered Squirrely.
“What?” asked Santa.
“I said we better hurry and get back home because American Idol is on,” said Squirrely.
All the chew toys agreed and huddled together so Santa could magically send them home. Santa waved his hands in some dumb motion and wiggled his nose, causing a flash of purple and green light to envelope the chew toys.
“Bye, Santa!” said Squirrely.
Santa waved and with a bright white flash Froggy, Giraffey, Cowhidey, Squirrely, and Monkeyy disappeared.
If you’ve never traveled through space and time via stupid Christmas magic, then I’m not going to get into the details of what it’s like here. Basically, if you just drive into a dimly lit tunnel while shaving an angry goat at 11:11 am on a leap year, you’ll get the general idea.
When it was all over, the chew toys found themselves, not in the familiarity of their home, but in a strange woody environment with oversized grass, giant trees, and the general vines and ambient wooded area noise, etc.
“Where are we?” asked Giraffey.
“I don’t know,” said Froggy. “But it somehow looks more 3D-ish than usual.”
Where are our chew toy friends now and why are they there? Join me next time when I’ll trash more of the things you probably love.
