Mr. Claus 2022

They piled into the old, blue Volvo station car sleigh parked in the driveway. The technology of the sleighs made it possible to fly around the Earth in seconds. The common portrayal in stories was that the magic was in the reindeer but it has always been the sleigh and J.J. had made a series of car conversions to help them better blend in. And this was especially handy in Berkeley were there was very little snow.
Leroy had asked Miriam to follow along realizing that her bag of tricks could help them find the source of the corona virus strain. Liz and Mrs. Claus had stayed behind to make sure that things were still going strong at The Pole and that everything would be ready for Christmas Eve.
“Okay. Whoever did this needs to know that Mr. Claus is still afflicted by the virus and hopefully we can get them to come out of hiding,” said Leroy.
“On it,” said J.J.
“Where are we headed?” asked Mr. Claus.
“Bindslev,” said J.J.
“Bindslev?” asked Mr. Claus.
“Bindslev,” said J.J. again.
“Bindslev it is,” said Mr. Claus.
“Okay, how does this sound? It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the rumors about me. I have COVID-19 and am doing okay. Unfortunately I can’t visit you this Christmas Eve- even if you think it’s a hoax. I am sorry my friends around the world but 2020 has caught up to me,” said J.J.
“I don’t know about the hoax part. Isn’t that just a bit too much?” asked Mr. Claus.
“Let’s keep it more neutral and see what happens,” said William.
“Alright, I’ll take out the hoax part under protest,” said J.J. with a smile.

“Yes! Have you seen this?” said Lenny as he held up his phone with one hand and petted Kasper with the other.
Benjamin shook his head.
“He’s tweeted out himself and it was picked up by the POTUS,” said Lenny excitedly.
Benjamin looked down at his phone and tapped and typed briefly.
“You know that’s a super fake Trump account? It’s even in the name,” said Benjamin.
“Even the fake accounts have thousands of followers and any mention of Santa and COVID-19 will get re-tweets upon re-tweets. And Facebook is probably going nuclear,” said Lenny.
“But it’s all propaganda-style bullshit and won’t hold up to scrutiny,” said Benjamin.
“Quit being so damn negative. Plus the whole thing about Santa Claus flying around the world in one night. How does that work? How does that hold up to scrutiny? Yet, here we are. Our plan is working, Benny, it’s working,” said Lenny very clearly content with his plan.
There is no ours. And it’s Benjamin, mother fucker, Benjamin! said Benjamin to himself and quickly sent off a text.
