The Magic of Christmas

“I just don’t feel human anymore.”

“That’s because, you’re not.”

“How can you say that to me, Sugar?”

“Because. You are a nutcracker, Olaf.”

“I am a Bavarian slave who happens to have the job of cracking open the hard shelled fruits of the masters of the house. I am not a nut cracker!”

“Then why does your mouth move that way?”

“What way?”

“That way.”

“Wha..Oh crap.”

“Yeah, you can’t walk away, remember. You tried that last year too. Your feet are nailed to the platform you stand on. And I will forever stand en pointe.”

“I still don’t feel human anymore.”

Olaf, you are not human and never were.”

“Then why are we even having this conversation?”

“The magic of Christmas, Olaf.”
