Writer: Pat Casey

It’s a cold cynical world, filled with chaos, greed, and selfishness. Even jolly old Saint Nick is having a hard time mustering up the Christmas spirit. With a heavy heart, he decides to make this Christmas his last. During his run, he comes across an expansive estate and as he’s enjoying the snack set out for him a full-scale home invasion ensues and at the center is one of the few nice kids left. With a sprinkle of Christmas magic and a ton of Whoop-Ass, Santa sets off to save one little girl and maybe even Christmas itself.
