Its Christmas Time Again

Elijah did not particularly like Christmas.  That is not to say that he was a scrooge, but after a certain amount of time working at the mall, his Christmas cheer began to decline rapidly.  At the mall Christmas carried special significance, and the season began in late November and carried on throughout December into January.  Elijah felt that the best part of Christmas was the time off, although security had to be raised during the holiday months, as head of security, Elijah had privileges over the other security guards and was given far more time off during Christmas time. Elijah decided that he would begin his day visting, Casa de Waffles and ordering their Christmas brunch, that consisted of several seasonal breakfast items.  As Elijah emerged from Castle Apartments, he stopped to appreciate the beautiful winter morning, snow covered the streets and people were out everywhere enjoying the holiday season.  Then as Elijah turned to his destination a plaster Santa Claus crashed in front of him breaking into large solid chunks.  Elijah backed off, with the realisation that had he been a couple of steps in front of him, Santa would have exploded on his head.  Elijah looked up, but whoever or whatever had caused the suicidal Santa Claus did not reveal themselves.  Elijah took a couple cautious steps forward, then picked up his pace quickly as he dodged the pieces of Santa and proceeded to his breakfast.  Elijah trudged to the snow, thanking his luck that Christmas had not killed him.
