Planet Christmas

By Rudy Macentire

Over the past several decades there have been mind-bending changes to our society. Prolific self-replicating fuel bugs opened the whole of space before us. The bio-engineered pet industry changed our visual, with people walking their monkey-birds along with unicorn cats and unicorn dogs, who are most often polite but at other times quite cheeky. We’ve had good years, where massive chocolate fountains were opened to the public. And darker years, where the human race had been nearly erased by a schoolboy's science fair project.

With all this change, it is no wonder that some people began to latch on to that which is most familiar to them. For many that became Christmas. Even if it was a rapidly growing tree that sprung up in one week in their living room, it was still the same tree they knew and loved. A few of those many took the comfort of Christmas one step further and decided that there was no reason to ever stop celebrating Christmas. They began to celebrate Christmas all year round.

 

Doctors called it “Christmoses”, and Christmas sweater makers called it “The best thing ever!”

 

Support groups for people with “Christmoses” soon turned to massive caroling groups that trekked throughout the world gradually gaining more and more followers. The sounds of “Sleigh bells ring are you listening?” would echo for miles before they’d arrive to one’s town.

 

And although most people loved it, it wasn't always appropriate to hear “Here comes Santa Claus”, especially when one is at a funeral or a wedding. Some events want their own time to shine. Still spreading the cheer proved to be very profitable, before those diagnosed with Christmas madness knew if they had gained a substantial amount of funds.

 

So when a bid for one of Jupiter's Moons opened the Christmasers were in a position to put some serious cash down on a newly terraformed mini-planet. It was nice and cold with a newly constructed eco system. The perfect habitat for endless Christmas time. Thus Planet Christmas was born. If you're one of those who never want the carols to stop it might just be the merry place for you.
