A SCENE FOR A DISNEY MOVIE (December 24, 2007)
An old man gets up from his rocking chair with some difficulty and hobbles to a window of his small house. Next to the window there is a tiny Christmas tree with flickering electric lights. There is a single package underneath it. It is tiny, too, but the bow on top of it is huge. When the man opens the window, it is dusk outside. Out of the blue, a flying saucer glides past. It seems to be about to land right next to the house. There is a large bubble on top of it. At the commands there sits a green creature that looks like a frog, but it has a long white beard. On top of its head there is a round red cap. When the creature notices the man at the window, it makes a threatening face. Its eyes bulge large and it opens its toothless mouth wide. Its beard fans out, too. The old man falls to his knees under the window with a barely audible gasp: “Santa Claus!”
