I Saw Mummy Killing Santa Claus
Jessica Huntley
Thriller
• Nov 29, 2026
For Nick Winter, Christmas isn't just a nuisance; it's a traumatic annual ordeal rooted in one catastrophic childhood memory: witnessing his mummy 'kill' Santa Claus. Never mind that Santa was his dad in a costume; the psychological scar tissue runs deep, turning December into a personal hell for the misanthropic postman.
He endures the relentless cheer of the season, fueled by loathing and too many drinks, ready to snap at any 'Merry Christmas!' or festive offering. But this year, his long-suffering best friend and therapist, John, has had enough. John's radical solution? A 25-day Christmas Advent Challenge, designed to force Nick to confront his Yuletide demons one ludicrously festive activity at a time.
From decorating a tree to donning a Santa hat, each step pushes Nick further into the festive madness, revealing unexpected truths – and perhaps a chance at happiness. Yet, healing from a 'violent past' is never simple, especially when the lines between trauma and holiday spirit blur. Will Nick finally open his heart to the true meaning of Christmas, or is he doomed to remain a Grinch forever?
