>You check the floor. There are pine needles all over the place that seem like they came from the tree, but nothing but a tv remote next to the couch or the presents under the tree would be an issue to step on.

>You don't see any mirrors. But there is that tree, with the sad number of presents under it.

>Take those presents. They are not true presents.
>Put some real presents under the tree.

>You're not being observed. You check the presents under the tree, believing them to be fake, but you can tell they're real when you look, so you leave them alone and put your presents under the tree. However, the tree comes to life, and growls at you! It gets between you and the chimney.
My new plan is so secret that even I cannot understand its full scope!>Do we have any magical powers we can use to fight? Is our sack still heavy? Heavy enough that we can swing it around as a weapon?

>"Bad Tanenbaum. Bad."
Those who have no right to wish are quick to cause destruction.
*Vague plotting intensifies*
>No magic fighting powers. However, throwing the sack over it seems to confuse it, and it blindly flails around, somehow missing all of the presents while making its way towards you, slowly but surely. You see an entrance to a hallway behind you, and there is a fireplace poker within reach, if you want to run or fight.
My new plan is so secret that even I cannot understand its full scope!>Grab the poker and fight. We can't just leave this monster to hurt innocent people!
"Humans and robots living together in harmony and equality. That was my ultimate wish."
The Sun’s Firstborn
>Swing our huge sack at the tree.
*Vague plotting intensifies*
>You've already covered it in the sack. You poke it with the poker, and it jumps back, then leaps at you!
My new plan is so secret that even I cannot understand its full scope!>Jump out of the way, and try to poke it again.
"Humans and robots living together in harmony and equality. That was my ultimate wish.">No, wait. Try talking to it before attacking it again. But still jump out of the way first.
"Humans and robots living together in harmony and equality. That was my ultimate wish."
*Vague plotting intensifies*
>You dodge. Then, you try speaking to the tree. It speaks, in an upset and angry voice:
You no take presents!
My new plan is so secret that even I cannot understand its full scope!>You've got it all wrong! I came to give you presents! At least, we think the PC did.

>Oh... Bah. Thought thief. Would be fun. Oh, well. Do not get eaten by other trees.
>As you leave peacefully, saying goodbye to the tree, you reflect on the night.
>It was a lot for an ordinary factory elf to pull off.
>But someone has to give Santa Claus his presents.
Merry Christmas, everyone! Or at least have a good day.

My new plan is so secret that even I cannot understand its full scope!So, this is the end? That was fun. I KNEW we weren't really Santa, but I was expecting us to be Krampus or someone similar.

>You go down the chimney, your massive sack weighed down by only a few presents. Once these are delivered, you can go home to enjoy some well-earned milk and cookies. You see the tree not too far away, a few presents already under it... But not nearly enough! Ho Ho Ho!
>What do you do?
