The Toymaker's Dilemma (Solipsism / Holiday Stories Themes)

[Varda]

In the North lives a man, a giver of gifts, a Saint. He spends his days making toys and brooding over the airwaves, which bring in affirmations from around the world. Out there, they believe in him. So the songs say.

But as he broods and makes toys, he has his doubts. Who knows if they exist at all, out beyond the endless snowstorms? Their faith has never been a problem, but he’s not sure he believes in them.

Once a year, he rises, dons his red coat, and goes to find out.

He brings the toys-- just in case.

Yes.

However, the drabble is delightful. But yes, I'd change the title.

[Varda]

Much appreciated - I thought so. Any ideas? I could do another Christmas Carol title... "In the Bleak Midwinter"? I hate titles... =/ Hrm....

I hate titles... =/ Hrm....

There is one title you don't hate, but would "Connor Choadsworth Defender" make any sense?

[Varda]

If I could stamp "Connor Choadsworth Defender" on EVERYTHING belonging to/produced by me, I would.

Pity my poor future children.
