The Nightmare Before Christmas
The Dobbs Family is lucky to be alive after a very close call last night, as youngest child Cindy Lou (age 5), unlatched the darkness proofing seals and opened the front door of their Sector 4 home in expectation of Santa’s one-night-early arrival.
Cindy claims she heard sleighbells (which turned out to be a prank played by her older brother) and a ’whinnying’ sound outside, as she demonstrated for the morning news. Thinking the pony she had asked for had arrived, she flung open to door only to be nearly trampled by a night mare.
Christmas tree, curtains, flatscreen television and other downstairs furniture were completely destroyed by the creature’s rampage throughout the house, as the Dobbs family clustered in fear upstairs in their parents’ master bedroom. After surviving the night, the older son Bobby told reporters that all he really wants for Christmas, in addition to a new TV and gaming system, is a holiday in tropical paradise.
“It’d be good for mom,” the nine year old boy proclaimed sagely, “She’s really shaken up after all of this.”
Angela Dobbs, thankful for the survival of her terrified family, thinks a copy of Darwin Watts’ bestselling illustrated children’s book about darkness safety might need a spot saved under the tree tomorrow evening.
