Celestial Reviews 350 – December 20, 1999 – More Christmas storie
Note: I am trying to wrap up my Christmas reviews. I found a few more
previous reviews that I failed to repost in CR 349. In addition, here are
some reviews of Christmas stories I have not previously reviewed.
Important clue: Some of the best stories in this review are among the
Reposted Reviews at the end of this issue.
Second note: A little girl goes to visit Santa at the Mall. When it is her
turn she sits on his lap and Santa says "Have you been good?"
"Yes, Santa, very good."
"What would you like for Christmas?"
"I want Barbie and G. I. Joe."
"G. I. Joe?" says Santa. "Doesn't Barbie come with Ken?"
"No, Santa, Barbie fakes it with Ken. But she comes with G. I. Joe."
Third note: Adult Version of 'Twas the Night before Christmas:
'Twas the night before Christmas, and God it was neat
The kids were both gone, and my wife was in heat
The doors were all bolted, and the phone off the hook,
It was time for some nooky, by hook or by crook.
Momma in her teddy, and I in the nude,
Had just hit the bedroom, and reached for the lube
When out on the lawn, there arose such a cry,
That I lost my boner, and poor momma went dry.
Up to the window I sprang like an elf,
Tore back the shade while she played with herself.
The moon on the crest of the snowman we'd built,
Showed a broom up his ass, clean up to the hilt.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a rusty old sleigh and eight mangy reindeer.
With a fat little driver, half out of his sled,
A sock in his ear, and a bra on his head.
Sure as I'm speaking, he was as high as a kite.
And he yelled to his team, but it didn't sound right.
Whoa Shithead, whoa Asshole, whoa Stupid, whoa Putz,
Either slow down this rig or I'll cut off youry cleared the old lamp post,
the tree got a rub,
Just as Santa leaned out and threw up on my shrub.
And then from the roof we heard such a clatter,
As each little reindeer now emptied his bladder.
I was donning my jacket to cover my ass,
When down the chimney Santa came with a crash.
His suit was all smelly with perfume galore,
He lookd like a bum and he smelled like a whore.
"That was some brothel," he said with a smile,
"The reindeer are pooped, and I'll just stay here awhile.
He walked to the kitchen, himself poured a drink,
Then whipped out his pecker and pissed in the sink.
I started to laugh, my wife smiled with glee,
The old boy was hung nearly down to his knee.
Back in the den, Santa reached in his sack,
But his toys were all gone, and some new things were packed.
The first thing he found was a pair of false tits,
The next was a handgun with a penis that spits.
A box filled with condoms was Santa's next find,
And a six pair of panties, the edible kind.
A bra without nipples, a penis extension,
And several other things that I shouldn't even mention.
A fuck ring, a G-string, and all types of oil,
A dildo so long, it lay in a coil.
"This suff ain't for kids, Mrs. Santa will shit,
So I'll leave 'em here, and then I'll just split."
He filled every stocking and then took his leave,
With one tiny butt plug tucked under his sleeve.
He sprang to his sleigh, but his feet were like lead,
Thus he fell on his ass and broke wind instead.
In time he was seated, took the reins of his hitch,
Saying, "Take me home Rudolph, this night's been a bitch!"
The sleigh was near gone when we heard Santa shout,
"The best thing about sex is that it never wears out!"

"Festive Shopping" by Tyrone Lamayer (tyronelamayer@freeuk.com).
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=559292635
Here we have a guy who goes Christmas shopping. He unwittingly buys a magic
brooch, and when he rubs it, time stops for everybody else. And so he gets to
sniff the crotch of the woman in front of him at the store without her even
knowing it. Imagine that.
It's pretty lame, really. The story ended in medias res, which is where good
stories sometimes begin. I was torn between anger that this wasn't even a
whole story and relief that I didn't have to read any more. Maybe the author
should give up on this one and try to be more careful with the next.

http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=556338813
Elizabeth visits her boyfriend David in his furniture store right around
Christmas. She gets naked and they play bondage games, and he ties her up and
sticks her in the display window, disguised as a stuffed Santa Claus, I think.
Maybe people who know more about bondage games will like this one more than I
did.

"Foretold" by Uther Pendragon (anon584c@nyx.net).
For a family in which the paterfamilas is called "sir" by his children and
daughter-in-law, the Brennans really are OK. I like them so much that I even
send Bob and Jeanette imaginary Christmas cards. And now we learn that they
have a bun in the oven!
Uther's sexy stories in the saga of Bob and Jeanette Brennan are easily
recognized, because all the stories in the series begin with an approximation
of the word "For." Like the present story, they all stand alone; but if
you've read one, you'll likely want to read them all.
In this installment, the younger members of the family return home for
Christmas. Offstage, Bob and Jeanette visit her abusive mother, and then they
go to the patriarchal home of the Brennan family for some forthright
conversation, pleasant but non-incestuous sex, and the announcement of their
forthcoming progeny.
Some will think this story moves a little slowly, and it does; but that's
because the author is trying to develop a really solid story – and he's
succeeding at it.

Katie is working near the end of the day on Christmas Eve in an upscale
clothing shop. The security guard, whom she calls her Obsession, is also on
duty. Katie is not a real hot number, but there is some concern that she "may
topple over because her boobs are too big for her petite frame." She invites
him home for a Christmas Eve dinner, and while she sits on his lap on the
bus, he gets a hard-on and blackmails her with a videotape of her making love
with a Fat Freddy from a previous story. He fucks her surreptitiously, while
some passengers eye them suspiciously. They wish the other passengers Merry
Christmas and surrealistically get off the bus.
So they go to visit Fat Freddy at his house, which lacks the essence of a
happy home. The guard blackmails Freddy, who doesn't seem to mind and who
responds by fucking Katie and making a roast for them to eat in the wee hours
of Christmas morning. After they rest, they do a really boring double
penetration with the fat guy on top, I think. If anyone farted, the author
didn't mention that event. I mean, why go into boring, extraneous details?
This is about as boring a sex story as I have ever read. The words are in the
right order and all that, but the sex is incredibly mechanical. Maybe it's a
satire or something "{Their} gaze is locked as his seed sears in inner folds.
Joe’s tense body finally falls limp as he desperately gasps for air."
The story ends with, "We are done." Good! Put a fork in 'em.

"A Christmas Story" by Schulz (schulz_h@hotmail.com).
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=560514148
The narrator and Sara get together to celebrate Christmas. They're not
exactly religious, and they're not celebrating the solstice or anything. It
seems they are celebrate mostly that everyone else is getting together to be
festive, and so they gather to exchange clever remarks and to read some of
Herrick's poetry. Herrick is a sixteenth century poet, who is now dead.
Personally, I was ambivalent about the Herrick poem; and so I was relieved
when the two co-protagonists decided that it had something to do with the
difference between a skank and a schoolmarm. Around this time I began to wish
that I hadn't decided to review absolutely ALL the Christmas stories that I
could find.
So the people have cheap and tawdry sex, but it really is kind of nice. What
the hell – if you don't attach any religious significance to Christmas, why
should that day be different from any other day? Ooops. That's part of a
Jewish liturgy, isn't it. The part about why this day is different from any
other day – not the part about the cheap and tawdry sex. I don't mean to
insult people's religion here. If I wanted to do that, I would pick on the
Amish or Jehovah's Witnesses, since people of those ilks don't come to a.s.s.
all that often, except when someone crossposts here from a religious
newsgroup, which is actually pretty often. This place is crawling with
Catholics and Presbyterians (who attach religious significance to Christmas)
and Jews (who do not, which is surprising in a way, because Jesus's parents
were both Jewish, as were all of his ancestors, who were from the House of
David, which was later the name of a famous baseball team of bearded baseball
players who played somewhere in the Midwest or maybe the South in the
1940's). Since I have become quite politically incorrect already, I am going
to tell you the first anti-semitic poem I can remember hearing. It came from
a nun: Roses are reddish/ Violets are bluish/ If it wasn't for Jesus/ We all
would be Jewish. Nuns really shouldn't drink champagne, even at Christmas
parties. And if someone spikes the punch or egg nog, the nuns should be
warned to stay away from it.
Anyway, although the sex in this story is indeed cheap and tawdry, there's
some really clever dialogue and an interesting twist at the end that sort of
redeems the whole thing – the story, that is – not the world. This is very
explicitly a secular, non-religious Christmas story; and I am certain that
redemption of the world is not even remotely an issue. Which is OK; but if
you're going to go this non-Christmassy with a Christmas story, you might as
well have the woman at least diddle herself with a candy cane.

"Four Firm Friends: A Christmas Sharing Story" by DrSpin (DrSpin_member@newsgu
y.com).
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=560898170
Remember the old song about "Those wedding bells are breaking up that ole
gang of mine"? Well, in this case there's a glitch. Before the gang broke up,
the rule used to be if a girl slept with one of the guys, she had to sleep
with them all. Such women were called "club girls."
So when the guys drop over for Christmas, Jean finds out about the custom;
and she realizes that her husband has had the wives of the other guys (in the
old days, of course), but she has never been a club girl. Are you getting
this? Fair is fair, she says; and so she is going to boink one guy a night
for the next three nights, while hubby plays with his new cordless drill that
he got for Christmas.
The moral of this story is, if you haven't bought your husband a Christmas
present yet, get him a cordless drill. He'll love it, even if he already has
one. This is guaranteed to be true, but nobody knows why.

"Ruthie's Christmas Story" by Gary (RuthieBaby@aol.com).
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=559174702
Santa plays bdsm games with his wife on Christmas eve. He treats her like
shit and then fucks her up the ass. Naturally, she loves it.
As far as I can see, this is a good rendition of the ole liturgy about how a
man shows he loves a woman by mistreating her. How just have a little trouble
understanding how "My whore, my fucking cunt, my love. I'm going to tan you
{with a whip}, dear. Then I'm going to stretch your asshole with my cock,
ride you the rest of the night as the fucking whore you are." can be
interpreted as a romantic overture. {And by the way, that should be "like the
fucking whore you are."}
I guess some of these deeply mystical experiences require a really willing
suspension of disbelief. Or as the nun used to say when I didn't understand
something, "It's a mystery."

Fantasies" by BitSlinger (bitslinger@hotmail.com).
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=296639260
I believe this is this author's first story. It's also an entry in my
Celestial Christmas story contest. I am happy to have stimulated the author
to enter upon a promising writing career.
The basic plot is that the wife has become interested in fulfilling her
husband's fantasies; but he's reluctant to share them, because he's afraid
he'll scare her off. Most recently she has noticed his interest in a sexy
little elf at the mall, and so tonight she has seduced him in an elf costume.
Eventually she manages to pry some fantasies out of him, and she rewards him
by acting them out with him and enjoying them herself.
The fantasies are actually pretty tame by a.s.s. standards, but I enjoyed
them. Except for a few occasional flaws in verb tenses, the author shows a
good sense of timing in his integration of the fantasies and the real-time
sexual activity. I look forward to seeing more stories by this author.

"Christmas Carole" by MrSpraycan (mrspraycan@mailanon.com).
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=296639252
Several years ago my husband treated me very romantically and fucked me under
the Christmas tree after the kids went to bed. As he did so, he played a
tape with the song "Here We Go a' Caroling." Unlike the woman in the
previous review, I did not have to ask him about his fantasies. You see, I
had three very close friends - all very sexy, one of whom had one the Nurse
Goodbody award in nursing school. That may help explain the title, but not
the plot of this story.
The time is 1941. Pearl Harbor has just been bombed shortly before the
Christmas party, and the United States is going to change its economy to a
war footing. History books tells us that women will move into the workplace
and never move out; it's the start of the sexual revolution in America.
Carole is a woman in a male-dominated environment who has ideas about
becoming a significant person in her company. Pat O'Reilly is the abstemious,
Scrooge-like part owner of the company, who thinks he's big stuff around women
. By the end of the story we can see how Carole is going to move up the
corporate ladder.
I have read several stories by MrSpraycan, and this one is not in the
author's usual raunchy style. Nevertheless, it's a really good story that I
think you'll enjoy.

"Snowbound" by Ann Douglas (older man/younger woman).
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=297898032
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=297898038
This is the second excellent story that I have reviewed with this title. I am
reposting the review of the other, and I hope the author will repost the
story.
When Ann Douglas moved to her new home and announced her retirement, I
suspected she would miss us and would return to her writing shortly. I was
right, and I am glad. This is a really good story. Of course, I had the
same feelings about Delta; but so far Delta has remained in obscure
retirement. I guess maybe that's what happens when your spouse becomes vice
president of a major industrialized nation.
What Ann exemplifies here is her ability to write a complete story - one with
numerous details that at to the impact of the overall story rather than
distracting us. Her stories are not complete in the way that novels are
complete: they are more like good weekly TV episodes - lots of interesting
details with everything falling into place at the end. In addition, Ann has
the ability to treat her characters with a respect, dignity, and honest
sexiness that makes them really appeal to me.
Ilyssia is snowbound on Christmas eve at O'Hare airport. She meets the
father of one of her best friends. She's 24, single, and sexually
aggressive; he's 42, divorced, and hasn't been with a woman since his wife
left him a year ago. They are forced to share a room, and they fuck
beautifully. But the story is much more than a May/December emboinkment. It
includes serious and sensitive concerns about who will sleep where, real
evidence of the value of both sexual experience and spontaneity, and the
value of waiting - plus a literal cold shower. This is an absolutely
delightful story.
Minor grammar lessons:
(1) When you quote someone and follow the quote with "he said" or the
equivalent, use a comma in place of the period at the end of the quoted
sentence. On the other hand, if the sentence ended with a question mark or
explanation point, just leave them there.
"I knew I should have taken the flight out yesterday," Ilyssia thought.
"Wanna fuck?" Ilyssia asked.
"I'm gonna come!" Ilyssia shouted as her pulsating cuntlips continued to
caress his gyrating cock.
(2) Use "lay" (not "laid") for the past tense of lie, meaning to recline.
They lay (not laid) there for about fifteen minutes, just enjoying the
comfort of each other's body.
(3) When two or more words form a single modifier and precede a noun, join
them with a hyphen. If the words come after the noun, omit the hyphen. This
rule is often violated with impunity, but it's good to watch for cases where
the omission causes confusion.

"The Curiosity Shop" by Sven the Elder (sven@brass-neck.demon.co.uk).
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=559857957
If I were writing clever one-liners to entice people to read this story, I
would say, "Sven has gone Christmas shopping, but he finds a surprise present
for himself!" The surprise present is the lovely and vivacious Jo, whose
full name is too long to print here and whose husband is away while his wife
must play. This is a delightful little story that will take your mind off
the burdens of last-minute Christmas shopping.
Rarely do Americans find a woman who hunkers down and lets a man find her

"A Missy Christmas" by Michael K. Smith.
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=318885312
Dan is attending the clan's annual Christmas party, conversing with the elite
snobs who constitute his extended family, when he is accosted by his cousin,
Missy Markham, who has been the cause of most of his wet dreams and early
morning erections for about two years. She's the kind of a girl who has a
tendency to make a guy she talks to have to stand behind a chair to conceal
his hard-on. She asks Dan to be her escort; Dan agrees; and we are led to
believe that there is some unusual significance to this assignment.
They fuck in the attack, and the description of the sex is very hot. The
only problem with this story is that it didn't have quite as interesting a
plot as others by this author. But it's still a darned good story.

O'Hara, a rich guy who is lonely on Christmas Eve in New York City, has
arranged for a call girl to visit him. He likes to talk, and so we get some
interesting details about the hooker's development, beginning with her
selling sexual favors to her brother when she was eight years old, while she
marvels at the night sights outside the penthouse window.
They quote philosophy to each other for a while, and it turns out she used to
read his stories on the Internet. For a long time O'Hara had devoted his life
to being socially responsible, and he's trying to make a comeback. At times
this story borders on the depressing, but it manages to remain tender and
poignant.
In a way, what Friar Dave here is an interesting and sexy version of one of
my occasional tirades about socially responsible sex.
This story has lots of typos. The author must have neglected to run a simple
spellcheck. But overall, this is a very nice Christmas story - even in April.
