The one clause they always fail to mention… the one that no one reads.

As a child you adhere to a set of rules and guide lines…. But as you get older you somehow forget. But unknowingly, you pass that responsibility onto your children to take over the promise and responsibility that was once passed down to you.

Once a year, a being known as “Santa Clause” will come down your chimney expecting a tray of cookies and milk…. In exchange, he will give you several gifts that perhaps you could not normally obtain yourself… only to feed your inner consumer… perhaps bring you and your parents further into debt.

But what if you forget like many tend to do? Or worse…. You don’t have children to pass along this oath of responsibility? Well, at this day and age, it tends to be more frequent. Children never grow up. Live with their parents until they are well into their 30s, and struggle to find lifelong partners… which means procreation has become less frequent.

That’s when the Santa Clause comes into effect.

A small portion of a contract that was written and signed hundreds of years ago. The one no one speaks of. And those that find themselves infringing on that contract, never have a chance to share their story.

Because deep down, Santa Clause is far less interested in milk and cookies. He could give to shits about the types of decorations you decide to cover your home in. For a long time he himself forgot what it was he truly craved… not until this Clause started coming back into play. Things like War prevented this from happening… because war killed history… war caused families to form… to pass on legacy.

But none of that has happened for close to 100 years…. And the feeling has returned to Santa Clause. He is able to capture the souls of anyone who forgets to leave him a snack… or forgets to decorate for the holidays…. At first it was just lonely people who he went after… but now it’s becoming more and more common… chances are, you know a few of his victims… maybe friends who you haven;t spoken to in 10-15 years? Do you ever wonder what happened to “so and so”? It’s possible they moved away and started a new life internationally… but it’s more likely that they grew lonely… forgot what their purpose and responsibility was every Christmas Eve… they didn’t understand the severity of missing such a tradition… and that’s when the clause comes into effect… snatching up souls. Similar to Krampus… But what if Santa and Krampus were one in the same?? The only difference is what you succeeded or failed to follow…. The wrath you can no longer avoid.

You should have kept the spirit of Christmas alive… you should have had children… but instead you forgot… and with that, the world will soon forget about you too.
