Mother Santa Claus Stories

Part of Altemus\u27 Mother Stories Series, Mother Santa Claus Stories evokes a time when life seemed simpler and childhood seemed more innocent. Have you ever heard of the Santa Claus of the Telephone? It may sound strange at first, but stop and think a moment and you will agree that Santa Claus has a right to make use of late inventions (from Hello! Give Me Santa Claus! ). Now, how adorable is that? This collection of twenty-eight Christmas stories in prose and verse is adorned with charming black and white illustrations on nearly every page. Among the stories included are Christmas in Kandahoo, How the Turkey Felt About Christmas, When Dorothy Saw Santa Claus (illustrated with a slightly disturbing drawing of a goose asleep in a bed while a smiling knife and fork sit on its chest, pointing as if to say, We\u27re coming for you! ) and, of course, Clemente C. Moore\u27s classic The Night Before Christmas. While adults will enjoy these stories for their quaintness of language and illustration, children will enjoy them simply because they are delightful. Intended for reading aloud, they are a perfect way for folks of all ages to get in the old-fashioned Christmas spirit. Mother Santa Claus Stories also offers a great glimpse into the popular culture of early 20th century United States, and provides many opportunities to teach kids about the past.

Cannibal Fork

Ryeanna: “So umm This happened to my friend, well it’s my best friend, we’ve been friends since like… I don’t even remember we met, before… since like, intermediate school, is what it’s called, that’s where we met. Umm she got married like two years ago and her husband is like a marine, and he went and got deployed but he didn’t go to Afghanistan or anything like that…he went to like these islands off the coast of Australia or something like that. And he was doing humanitarian work down there, and in their free time they could go through the village where people were selling stuff and this is where he got the cannibal fork…” Me: “Did he have to go buy down some creepy back alley or something or was this just like in town?” Ryeanna: “You know I don’t know the whole story exactly, I just know it was in a shop, and that supposedly it’s like this replica, because they use to practice cannibalism on the island because it was like a religious practice you know? And uh it’s a replica of a fork they use to use during this. So he was doing that and he brought it home and he pulled it out of the bag and his wife was immediately like ew… [Ryeanna grins and starts to chuckle] that’s like gross… but like he was just so proud of it so that she couldn’t’ tell him that, [chuckles while talking] that like she didn’t like it ya know?!” Me “I just love how understanding she is, like okkkkkay I guess we’ll keep the fork” Ryeanna: “Yeah and uh so It’s like a decor item basically, so they put it on display like in their living room in front of the TV, just like laying on its side, and she just said that like every time she would like see it,…she would just get this like gross feeling! [Grins and chuckles while talking] and like she just HATED THE FORK OK? And umm eventually it started moving, like it would move all over the house.” Me: “Like teleporting?” Ryeanna: “well yeah she would see it in like different places, and at first she thought it was like her husband, [said while grinning and chuckling] messing with her and like, no, he’s like no and honestly he’s like really bad at lying, so she like knew it wasn’t him like messing with her and it just kept like moving and she would just keep finding it in like, weird places and she’s like ok. Like. I hate this fork. like IT SUCKS! [Laughing] And you know this kind of just became a regular thing and like… but it always stayed like…like their house is two levels…and it always just stayed down around the first level, like around the TV ya know? And she would tell her husband, I don’t like this fork like it keeps moving and he’s like ‘you’re crazy I don’t know what you’re talking…about there’s nothing wrong with the fork…’ and she’s like ‘whatever.’. Well one day they only have one car because they’re like…a new married couple and stuff, so she had to take him to work, so she took him to work… and it’s like just the two of them you know…so she takes him to work and she was gone maybe like ten minutes. Comes back home, goes upstairs to start getting ready so she can go to work…and it is in their room. On the shelf [trying to hold back her own laughter] In front of their bed! Standing straight up, like staring at them! Like if they were laying in the bed it would be staring at them! And the shelf is like four feet high too, so it is just standing their on the shelf straight up, straight at the bed and she’s just like No. absolutely not! [Laughing] She calls her husband. ‘Did you move the fork this morning?’ and he’s like ‘No why would I move the fork.’ and she’s just like ‘It is in front of our bed like staring at us! If we were laying in our bed!’ and he’s like ‘That’s BS.’ so like, he tried to blame the dog! [hardly containing laughter at this part]. And he’s like ‘The dog brought it upstairs.’ and she’s like ‘yeah.’ [Rolls eyes] And they have like a thirty pound red heeler, and he’s like ‘Yeah he like, put it on the shelf.’ And she’s like ‘And stood it straight up, four feet off the ground, so that it perfectly stared at us in bed?’ And he just wouldn’t believe it and she’s just like I can’t do this anymore, I hate this fork [giggling the whole time] but she can’t get rid of it because he loves it! So she tells her friend about it and her friend is like oh I have this like friend and she’s like pagan or whatever…I don’t even know and she’s just like well I’m at my wits end I don’t even know what to do about it so she calls the pagan woman, and she’s like, look I have this situation I have this fork, And the woman is like oh well I can’t get over there today or like anytime this week, just like put a ring of salt around it to like, ya know keep it in its place. So she does, she just like poured salt around it and it never moved again! [Shrugging and smiling] and I think like she came over and like burned sage or something I don’t know yep…and it never moved again.” Me: [laughing] “Her husband comes home. Why is there a ring of freaking salt around my fork?” Ryeanna: “Yeah and she’s like nope! Just leave it haha.
