HOLIDAY SHORT - Four mall employees try to plan the theme for the Santa's Corner picture area. But in this world of crass commercialism, will they be able to figure out the true meaning of Christmas? Probably not.

The True Meaning of Christmas

  • David Templeton: The True Meaning of Christmas

    ‘The True Meaning of Christmas’ is one twisted little delight of a play. It’s so funny I had to read it a second time … out loud … to my family, who could not stop laughing. Ironically, now I want there to be an actual Escape From the North Pole experience at my local mall. I would actually go to that. And vampire reindeer? Bring ‘em on! This one is hilarious.

    THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS takes us behind the scenes as a group of mall executives discuss how to put the perfect spin on this year’s Christmas theme. Nancy wants traditional, magical, warm and fuzzy. Her co-workers toss out ideas like Zombie Santa, a North Pole Escape Room, and much more. Every idea more outlandish and hilarious than the last. A perfect pick for any holiday-themed festival.

    A darkly humorous piece perfect for anyone who is even the least bit cynical about the "most wonderful time of the year". A twisted and hilarious read!
