"One day, in the month of December, on a cold, stormy night, Santa was feeling a little sick."

"I lit a candle in the porcelain basin below the mirror and shivered in its cold eternal reflections, tiny dancing pieces of distant light on the walls, scattered memories of the moment your eyes burned into mine."
