Our friend Fandango and I share a fascination with
noir crime and detective stories. He recently wrote
a story called “Five Years Later”; it was great and
I was hooked. If you haven’t read his story, click the
link above. I noticed his MC and a character I have
previously written about share the same last name.
My imagination kicked in and I asked Fan if he’d
mind if I wrote a story that intertwined with his;
he said to go for it. Here it is …. longer than my usual
so make yourselves comfortable and enjoy the read.

This is a movie Bill and I hadn’t heard of before. It’s not the type we usually watch but we were with our two oldest grands (15 & 13) and it was their pick. It was very entertaining and Kurt Russell is always great fun.
Here’s the skinny: siblings Kate and Teddy Pierce hatch a scheme to capture Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. When the plan goes awry, the kids join forces with a somewhat jolly Saint Nick (Russell) and his loyal elves to save the holiday before it’s too late. Older kids will like this one.
Let’s watch the trailer:
I’ll save you a seat. Enjoy the movie! 🎥 🍿 🥤
