25 Santa Expressions | Day 4

Santa is Fierce


One of the earliest signs that we get for the approach of Christmas is it's elaborate annual marketing. October barely finishes before the festive paraphernalia stocks up all of the seasonal shelves and more. A couple of weeks later the advertisements start broadcasting on the television. This year in particular, a rather big celebrity stole the spotlight of one of these adverts.

Santa questioned the script he had been given to work with from day one. He even considered walking but Elle, being her positive minded self, encouraged Santa to go along with it anyway. But what Elle never knew is that the director shooting for this advert wanted a more fierce approach from Santa. Santa doesn't really do fierce, at least not until now.

At last this side project was completed and Santa was able to return to his regular duties. But before it was all over for him, there was still the wait on seeing the finished result. Elle sneakily managed to bring a stool and some refreshments into the office just in time to see the production begin. Had you have been there, you would have noticed even Elle lose her smile as she watched alongside Santa, who indeed felt a cringe. It was an awkward silence after the advertisement was done before either of them could bring themselves to speak.

'Yeah, maybe you should have walked.'

'Maybe they should have stuck with the lorries.'
