This was in Saturday's programme, and I'm sure that (considering the festive spirit) nobody will mind me posting it on here for those that may not have seen it. Anyway...here goes...and apologies in advance for any typos...
A Christmas Story by Victoria Silverwood
Once upon a time, in Christmas 2008 there was an evil elf. He was the most disliked of all the pantomime villains, dressed like all the naughty Christmas elves in teal and orange. He and his evil gang of teal and orange elves delighted in winding up the innocent and hard-working Devils, repeatedly shutting them out at home and stealing every piece of silverware. The teal and orange elves spent all their spare time dreaming up tall tales about the Devils and distributing their nasty stories to all the people in the world (well, all the readers of Sheffield Star anyway).
It wasn’t just last Christmas, for two seasons this most disliked of all the elves thrived in making Devils fans cry, he won all the face-offs against us, he agitated our skill players, he wound up our tough guys and most of all he told mean stories about us in the press.
The chief elf did not like the ‘Blue Tent of Wonder’ in which the Devils resided, he liked his ‘Shed of Tin’ and he told the world about how much better his tin shed was. Those good and righteous Devils fans wanted to stand up to the evil elf, they called him mean names when he visited the Blue Tent of Wonder and they made posters and sang songs about the naughty things that he did. They summoned their own special red and white elf to make them all laugh by pushing over the evil elf in the middle of the centre circle of the ‘Ice of Awesomeness’. The red and white elf succeeded and how they all cheered. They were no longer afraid of the little teal and orange elf.
That Christmas, the evil elf asked Santa how he could make people like him. He had realised the errors of his ways and he did not want to spend any more time on the naughty list. Santa said to him “Go away you must, to a far and distant country. Only after six months have passed may you return. If you can prove you are good and righteous, you will be permitted entrance to the Blue Tent of Wonder and there you will realise your full potential.”
One year later, when Santa was completely convinced that the evil elf of teal and orange had changed his wicked ways and he would use his evil powers for good, that little elf got his Christmas wish. He returned to the Blue Tent of Wonder this time dressed, as all good elves are, in red and white and he used his evil powers for good. The red and white elves cheered him (for they were a forgiving lot) and he rewarded their hospitality by assisting his little elf friends in four Challenge Cup goals.
And they all lived happily every after, surrounded by cups and trophies.
The End.
