Great fun, delicious puns - a lovely Christmas snack with a subtle twist.

My thirteenth read from author JT Lawrence. A holiday short continuing to explore the varied & diverse, dark-humored sides of author JT Lawrence. I’ll be reading more from this author! (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Although this is a short story it has drama, antagonists, kindness, good and bad kids, and the Christmas spirit as mall Santa, Nicholas deals with hardships while he tries to get his own Christmas wish. For a heart warming Christmas story you can't go wrong with this one. :)

Doesn't disappoint

I recently discovered JT Lawrence's short stories when I read Sticky Fingers. I have a love hate relationship with every single one of them, because they're utterly additive but leave me deeply disturbed. Dasher isn't my favourite, but it's still fabulous.

Cute Christmas short story. I would have liked it to be longer actually. Maybe a squeal? As always, J.T. Lawrence supplies us with a story that makes you think.

Who knew what went on in the department store grotto's. This is a story with a grumpy Santa, he has always been the Santa in this department store and he loves the old sleigh that he gets the children to sit on with him. One child on particular is very nice so he gives him some extra sweets but this does not go unnoticed and the next ones wants the same. This second child however goes into a full blown tantrum and causes lots of problems for Santa.
I really enjoyed the story even though I am a bit wary of short stories but this one has a beginning, middle and ended off nicely.

I don’t read a lot of short stories because I always want more. This is actually my second one, however I really did enjoy this one. I love a good Christmas story and one with a twist. Great overall.

Not Bad

Not the greatest of stories and not the worst. I have to put more words here to post my review.

Cute little story with the usual JT Lawrence "surprise" at the end.
Not so sure about the ending. Was not satisfying for me.
