Birth of the Ermine Avenger

Forecast is for possible thunder on Christmas Eve. Donner and Blitzen may be dodging actual thunder and lightning.

Me being me, I am now thinking about a story about what would happen if Santa’s sleigh got hit by lightning.

Maybe a new superhero would be created. BIRTH OF THE ERMINE AVENGER. Or maybe the result would be a Santa hybrid: half-man, half ermine.

At least being a superhero would give Santa something to do the other 364 days of the year.

This probably means another year with coal in my stocking, doesn’t it, Santa?

And I was so close. 363 days of being good, down the tubes.
