My Christmas Carol

LUCIAN



Every Christmas it’s the same.



I’ve played Santa for as long as I can remember, both in front of and behind the scenes. All year-round too, not just on Christmas.



I think it’s enough.



But it’s a lonely life of being Mr. Claus without his significant other.



Checking in on the dressing room when I know I can’t be today Santa I find what I’ve been looking for.



Her.



But I know it’ll never be enough. Not until I have her as my own.



A lifetime’s worth of yearning solved in one single moment.



The day I meet my one true love.



And it’s Christmas.



There are angels, and I’ve had one fall to earth.



Right in my lap.



Carol.



My Christmas Carol.



CAROL



I hate Christmas.



But it’s usually a way to pick up extra work when everyone else is on holiday.



But I only hate it because it means being alone.



Again.



Until I see Lucian.



He’s my forever Christmas, even if it’s only in my mind.



The dream boss I figured wasn’t my boss at all.



As if an older guy like him would ever go for a younger curvy girl like me.



But he does.



He insists on it and I can’t refuse.



Maybe this Christmas won’t be so bad after all?
