This was well done and I understand that you didn't want to throw away the holiday. I often read other reviews before reviewing, so I noticed people still bitched even though you had a good reason for not finishing. Maybe one year you'll finish it. And if you do, please get rid of that long pause where santa is in the doorway that comes before the part when he kills a nice kid with a gift and a naughty kid with a rock.
