Fiction
THE STORIES: THE SANTALAND DIARIES is a brilliant evocation of what a
slacker's Christmas must feel like. Out of work, our slacker
decides to become a Macy's elf during the holiday crunch. At
first the job is simply humiliating, but once the thousands
of visitors start pouring through Santa's workshop, he
becomes battle weary and bitter. Taking consolation in the
fact that some of the other elves were television extras on
One Life to Live, he grins and bears it, occasionally taking
out his frustrations on the children and parents alike. The piece ends with yet another Santa being ushered into the
workshop, but this one is different from the lecherous or
drunken ones with whom he has had to work. This Santa
actually seems to care about and love the children who come
to see him, startling our hero into an uncharacteristic
moment of goodwill just before his employment runs out. SEASON'S GREETINGS. Another funny, touching-and twisted-monologue about the season.
