Christmas is sometimes not the joyful time of the year for many people.  It's full of stress, and maybe not fond memories.  But, in this case, it's the family dog who is not looking forward to Christmas!  Written from the dog's perspective, Beckham is an English Bulldog living with Ryan and Karla and their three children.  They're a great family and Beckham knows he's very lucky.  However, Christmas Eve is bedlam in the home and Beckham has learned to stay out of the way and is forgotten by all until the day after Christmas ... no walks, no smiles, no pats, no "good boy."  There will be 14 people in the house this year and one very cute, overlooked bulldog will not even get a Christmas cookie.  Well, this Christmas, Beckham is going to change the routine ... he's determined he going to get his deserved attention.  This short story has great potential, but it ends suddenly realising that Beckham is not a dog of his word.  It ends disappointingly for those looking for a little holiday chaos caused by Beckham.  With a little editing of a few crude words, and expansion of the ending, this can be a great story.
