The Santa Claus ordeal of Mr O Shaughnessy told in a escape tale
The tale recalls how Mr O Shaughnessy refused to play Santa again after a Christmas in a department store. He describes being dressed as St Nicholas, swept into a wealthy boy’s home, treated like a toy, and forced to shepherd a child through a long night. He ends with a resolve for a sane Christmas.
