Cowboy Blob has an unusual contest this week. It's a story-telling sort of thing, based on a troubling image of Santa...well, you'll have to see it.

I came across the cake at 'Cake Wrecks', with that Winter motif.

So, here's the deal..I'll write a note to Santa, from his slayer. Someone else will have to submit the winning story. I'm not so much a story-writer.

"Dear Santa:

As the days grow shorter and the nights colder, a correctness has settled upon our land. All of our traditions are questioned; our values, weighed and measured against the newer world's orders that everyone should be treated exactly equal, and not be put in a position of disproportionately feeling any better or worse than anyone else. Eventually, all that's not feelings-neutral will be discarded for new, happy, shiny memes. Santa, there's just no place left for you in our new world.

I won't be leaving milk and cookies for you this year. I bought you a cake instead.

Merry Winter!"

Troubling. I told you so.
