[ WP ] Write a story that starts like a Christmas tale but slowly becomes a Cosmic Horror story .

Santa roared over the sleeping world, spreading joy and cheer. 
 
 `` Ho ho ho little girl. Here are your Christmas treats, now scoot back to bed' 
 
 
 `` Why Miss Gillicutty, everything will be fine his year. Here have some eggnog'' 
 
 
 `` Timmy, here's a baseball bat for you. Go get them slugger'' 
 
 
 `` Why Mr Jones, sorry about your job, but there's no need for a bare Christmas tree. Let me fill the boughs with baubles, and deck the floor with presents.'' 
 
 
 `` Sweet little Suzy, actually you have been a very naughty girl... `` 
 
 
 `` Can it fatboy. Give the speech to someone who cares. `` 
 
 
 In Santa's kind little mind, something flashed. A tiny beep bringing attention to a nearly forgotten branchof code...

'Lets just stick it in for laughs 
 
 
'Why are we doing this job again?

' How does this work then? 
 
 
' Its a promotional thing. Like Santa we spread joy and cheer for free around the world. 
 
 
' That's damn good marketing spin. Are we bundling our stuff in with the gifts? 
 
 
' Yes we are. Bill was insistent on it. This is going to be a smashing cross-promotional success. We are going to drive a lot of units with this. 
 
 
' Hey how'd the Devil get Santa's code? 
 
 
' Ugh Phil.... you should probably know this. When I went on that last corporate trip to showcase our prototype... well elves are n't technically elves.... or happy... elves kinda are dead people endlessly toiling away making toys. Santa's like Hells garbage man.

 Santa's eye burned red. 
 
 
 The world had been very very naughty. 
 
 
 Time to take out the trash.
