Christmas

As I am born into the world I can smell my own burning flesh. It hurts terribly, but finally the door opens. It was pitch black but now the light blinds me. I am taken out of the heated cave and my browned to perfection skin goes from burning to cooling in a matter of minutes.
 As I sit here I can hear the doorbell dinging, and the children singing too. I can see some friendly candy canes over on the tree, but friendly is not how the scene is or feels. I am being coated in a snow-like substance. I can smell hot chocolate.
I am moved onto a different flat surface. It has a picture of a person on it. All of a sudden the lights go out again, this time it is very strange because when it goes out, a noise comes on. I can't tell where it's coming from, it might be coming from the stereo like the Christmas music is, or it was, it went off when the lights went out. Someone goes down the chimney and comes out the fireplace. I guess that was what the noise was. The strange chimney man walks over to where the candy canes are resting on the tree. Then he comes over to us. The cookies around me shriek with terror. He picks me up, I can't tell what's going on but his snow white beard tickles my frosting.  Everything is happening too fast. Everything goes black.
He bit my head off first and it landed in his big old jelly belly. I guess I'm a better tasting Christmas cookie than I thought.
