They lived right next to the Santa Express train tracks, but on the wrong side.
So they were used to not being treated right. The only thing they had going for them was that their Reindeer Game seats were right on the track on the right side of the finish line. The Rightly Clan were on the left side, but they wanted the right side. So they marched right up and sat down, right there in the middle of the opening ceremonies.
It would not be a big deal, the Rightly and Leftover clan fought all the time. The problem was that the Toe Clan had signed a contract right before the games with the Leftover Clan to outsource their toy assembly quota to them. That left the Sweet Clan out in the cold in terms of making their quota, right there two weeks before Christmas without either working-class clan to do the work for them.
Right now, they were panicked. And the Toe Clan was mad that the Sweet clan had left negotiations and complained to Santa. So right there with Mr. Clause sitting on their thrones right in front of the crowd, the Toe and Sweet Clans felt it was right to make the seating controversy about so much more.
Harsh words, for elves, were exchanged back and forth. Then, mark each wrapped mug with a number , as inspired by Gifts. Pick up your mug and relish in the festive chuckles.
