My wife loves Christmas music. I have about 4 cd's that I listen to over and over again on my iPod during the season. One is Jimmy Buffet's Christmas Island. While listening to it the other day, an idea for a short story or novella came to me.
What if Santa only uses his sleigh through the northern part of the Northern Hemisphere? What if when he gets to the Caribbean, he switches off to a canoe or boat of some sort?
