It was Christmas Eve and Santa and crew were flying over Centennial Park in Harrowsmith when Santa’s earbuds started to ring. It was a message from Rudolph who told Santa that he thought they had dropped the neon yellow bag of coal for the naughty child on the other side of the park. Santa slowed his reindeers just enough that he could reach the little tied up bag with his special grabbers. All the reindeer looked at each other and then at Santa who had his nose all squished and his beard was a mess.
It was not the little bag of coal, but something worse. Some uncaring person had put a bag of their dog’s poo on top of the garbage container and it had opened and discharged all over Santa.
As he was cleaning up he thought why would someone take the time to use the baggie, almost tie it securely and leave it on the garbage bin. The hardest part had been done. It was such a thoughtless deed and deserving of a real bag of coal.
All the children coming to get their mail with parents, and the people who use the garbage container must have been so disgusted.
Well, Santa still had a lot of work ahead, so off he and his crew flew to give everyone else a very Merry Christmas and a hope that in the New Year of 2023 the owner of the little bag of dog poop would resolve to take them home to dispose of properly.
A lot of us who pick up our mail agree with Santa!
