The Legend of Crappy Claus
In Philadelphia, a grumpy old man named Crappy Claus, Santa's half-brother, delivers the worst gifts to children. When his sidekick, Mr. Bear, falls for a boy named Jude, Crappy Claus's vengeful actions lead to an unexpected lesson in charity and kindness.
In the bustling city of Philadelphia, lived a grouchy old man named Crappy Claus. He wore a brown Santa suit with dirty fur trim and had messy, wiry, long grey hair. Crappy Claus hated children and gave them the crappiest gifts when they misbehaved. His sidekick, a red long-haired dachshund named Mr. Bear, was just as grouchy and had a talent for the side-eye look. Next door lived a boy named Jude, with golden locks, and a goth girl named Lily.
One day, Mr. Bear mistook Jude for a pretty girl and fell in love. Jude was kind-hearted and always tried to help others, making Mr. Bear adore him even more. This made Crappy Claus furious. He decided to give Jude the worst gifts imaginable. And so, his career as a giver of terrible gifts began.
- Why does Mr. Bear like that boy so much? Crappy Claus grumbled. - Maybe because Jude is kind to everyone, even grumpy old men like you, Lily replied. Crappy Claus fumed and went back to his workshop. He began preparing his next terrible gift for Jude. But something unexpected happened.
Crappy Claus decided to give Jude a box filled with dog poo and monkey pee. He wrapped it up in the most beautiful wrapping paper he could find. Jude, unaware of the terrible gift, was excited to receive something from Crappy Claus. - This is going to be hilarious, Crappy Claus chuckled to himself. But when Jude opened the gift, something unexpected happened.
Instead of being upset, Jude laughed. - Thank you, Mr. Claus! This will make excellent fertilizer for the community garden! Jude said. Crappy Claus was taken aback. No one had ever reacted that way before. - How can you be so positive? Crappy Claus asked, bewildered. - Because I believe in making the best out of every situation, Jude replied with a smile.
Crappy Claus was determined to make Jude miserable. He decided to give him a box of broken glass next. But when Jude received it, he carefully picked out the pieces. - These will make beautiful mosaics for the community center! Jude exclaimed. Crappy Claus couldn't understand why Jude was always so positive.
Crappy Claus tried giving Jude a box of rusty nails. - Thank you! These will be perfect for our new treehouse project! Jude said. Each time, Jude found a way to turn Crappy Claus's terrible gifts into something useful. - Why do you keep doing this? Crappy Claus finally asked. - Because everyone can find a way to help others, no matter what they have, Jude replied.
Crappy Claus was frustrated. He decided to give Jude something he couldn't possibly use: a box of old, mismatched socks. But Jude and Lily turned them into puppets for the local children's hospital. - You're amazing, Jude, Lily said. Crappy Claus watched in disbelief. He couldn't understand why Jude was always so grateful.
Crappy Claus was running out of ideas. He decided to give Jude a broken bicycle. - We can fix this and give it to someone who needs it, Jude said. Crappy Claus was stunned. No matter what he did, Jude always found a way to help others. - Why do you always help people? Crappy Claus asked. - Because it makes the world a better place, Jude replied.
Crappy Claus felt defeated. He couldn't make Jude unhappy. - Maybe it's time to give up, Mr. Bear, Crappy Claus sighed. But Mr. Bear looked at him with sad eyes. - Maybe we should try being kind instead, Mr. Bear seemed to say. Crappy Claus thought about it. Could he really change his ways?
Crappy Claus decided to give it one last try. He gave Jude a box of rocks. But Jude used them to create a beautiful rock garden. - Thank you, Mr. Claus! This is exactly what we needed! Jude said. Crappy Claus couldn't believe it. No matter what he did, Jude always found a way to be grateful.
Crappy Claus felt hopeless. - I can't make him miserable, Crappy Claus said to Mr. Bear. - Maybe you're the one who needs to change, Mr. Bear seemed to say. Crappy Claus thought about it. Could he really become a better person?
One day, Crappy Claus saw Jude giving out food to the homeless. - Why do you do this? Crappy Claus asked. - Because everyone deserves kindness, Jude replied. Crappy Claus watched in awe. He had never seen someone so selfless. - Maybe I can help, Crappy Claus said hesitantly.
Jude was surprised but grateful. - Of course, Mr. Claus! We can always use more help, Jude said. Crappy Claus felt a warmth he hadn't felt in years. - Maybe there's hope for me after all, Crappy Claus thought. He started helping Jude and Lily with their community projects.
Crappy Claus found joy in helping others. - This feels... good, Crappy Claus admitted. - See? Kindness is its own reward, Jude said with a smile. Crappy Claus realized that giving was more rewarding than he had ever imagined. He began to see the world in a new light.
Crappy Claus became a beloved figure in the community. - Thank you for showing me the way, Jude, Crappy Claus said. - You always had it in you, Jude replied. Crappy Claus learned that true happiness comes from giving and helping others. And so, the legend of Crappy Claus became a tale of charity and kindness.
