[stylist] Renewed challenge (Story to finish)

[LoriStay at aol.com]

 Yes, it is after Christmas, but here's the challenge again.

> From Lori--
> Tis the season to be jolly--or is it?  Here is the beginning of a Christmas 
> story.  The challenge is to finish it in 2000 words, give or take:
> 
> Elves don't celebrate Christmas.  One elf can't reach every home in one 
> night.  Some kids get no presents no matter how good they've been.  And reindeer, 
> even rudolph, can't live forever. 
> 
> So maybe Santa could be forgiven for the depression he fell into each 
> December first.
> 
> The holiday of love and joy had long ago turned into the holiday of greed 
> and merchandising.  People had foregone the pleasure of giving for the thrill 
> of receiving.  No wonder retirement at the old Elves' home looked better and 
> better...
> **
