## Summary

A father warns his daughter not to eat Santa's milk and cookies, or she might end up on Walter's naughty list.

## Plot

On Christmas Eve, a man sets down a tray of cookies with a plate of carrots and a glass of milk, with a card reading "For Santa" on the tray next to the cookies. His daughter, Crystal, reaches out and tries to take one of the cookies. Her father grabs her by the wrist and reminds her that she's not allowed to take the cookies, to which Crystal angrily exclaims that she wants one. Her father gently reminds her that she already had dessert, and if she takes a cookie Santa won't bring her any presents. Crystal snaps that Santa's already fat, and he can have the carrots. Her father reminds her that the carrots are for the reindeer, and she needs to get to bed so they can wake up and enjoy Christmas together.

In Crystal's bedroom, her father tells her from the doorway that he knows she gets spoiled at her mother's house, but here she needs to respect his rules, and tells her very firmly to not eat the milk and cookies. He smiles and bids her good night, and Crystal tells him to bite her. Her father cheerfully replies that he'd only bite her if she was a cookie, and Crystal tells him to shut up. Her father shakes his head and closes the bedroom door, lamenting to himself that he fought for custody.

Two hours later, Crystal sneaks out of her bedroom and down the hallway, her path lit by Christmas lights. She gets to the living room and sees a large man in a red and white suit hunched over the fireplace, loudly gorging himself on something. Crystal, believing the man is Santa Claus, slowly approaches him. Crystal asks excitedly if he has her presents and reaches for his bag, only for a wrinkled blue hand to grab her wrist. Crystal looks up in shock as the man turns around, revealing that "Santa" is in fact a goblin-like creature. The goblin opens his mouth and blood starts falling from his mouth as he growls at her. Crystal screams as the goblin picks her up and continues to roar at her. Crystal's father then staggers into the room, carrying a bottle of wine and very obviously drunk, and yells that he told her not to eat the milk and cookies. He stops short and screams when he realizes what is happening. The goblin is shown to be eating Crystal, with her legs flailing as he swallows her whole. Crystal's father brandishes the wine bottle and runs at the goblin, screaming hysterically as the monster finishes swallowing his daughter. Just as he gets close, the goblin burps and blood splatters all over Crystal's father. Crystal's father stops cold and begins to vomit as he passes out on the floor.

The goblin watches him pass out and tilts his head. He reaches into his pocket and places something in Crystal's father's mouth -- a small lump of coal, with a ribbon reading "Crystal" tied around it.
