A Present for Big Santa Nick Kurt Vonnegut

Merry Christmas, SSAC-ers!
It’s been a wonderful month of short stories. For our final day, I put in the dates that @mrmuleman.bsky.social suggested as being highly rated.
If you have time today, enjoy the story. If you need a couple of days to recover, we’ll catch up over the holidays

Just in time to see the bus fly by, Day 12 is the final #12DoS2025, the absurdist “A Very Mario Lopez Christmas” by Megan Giddings.

He was stressed. He had deadlines. But, he had a plan. Until his wife went into contractions and the dispatcher screamed:
‘That baby cannot hit the water!’….
When needs must.
We simply do.
Because we can.

Gentrification is surely scarier than ghosts because, you know, it’s real.
Winter and ghosts always make me think of Dickens. Dickens’ own Smoking Bishop was perfect.
