Chapter Fifty Five: Boredom of Christmas

Father Christmas have felt it anew, strongly, and he knows that Santa Claus felt it, too. They are two of the same being, after all.

However, this time there is a certain foreign impetus that came along with the hunch. It was too strong to bear, yet beautifully conceived. A murder, but benign, and this is what makes it all different from the forces that The North Pole can feel through its instrumentalities. Father Christmas took the untimely message with a grain of salt. It seems trivial, after all, albeit a worthy cause for so much concern.

But these feelings have been identified to be related to the boredom that one feels when in search of a higher purpose, like one reluctant reader would feel towards a particular book that he did not develop to have a liking. Similar to every activity, boredom is a result of the lack of interest, and this fact affects the difficulty in approaching all forms of acquiring comprehension, triggered by the accompanying stress in doing something very hard to understand.

While creative writing is a means mainly for the promotion of recreational reading, fiction has, in some way, developed to become the vehicle of resources and the vessel of some form of truth, unequivocably, or in its solemn intent to expose the truth by simply criticizing society for its obvious shortcomimgs, with the end of allowing critical thought by changing the literal approach towards it.

So, boredom is a form of obstacle to the ultimate end of a state of understanding. And this kind of uninterest denies the access to the same magic and spirit of Christmas, whose only intention is to develop the comprehension to life's abyss and shedding light to the deepest questions. Difficulty may be boredom in a way, although this is not a conclusive statement to make.

But what can be done to prevent this boredom? What could be the right treatment to this lack of interest in identifying the intricacies unraveled by life and time? Can the obstacles be overcome?

For now, Father Christmas must do this journey and fulfill what can be done in his power as time approaches the crucial moment. 

Christmas will always be a story of hope, and when there are natural obstacles in every story told, and hope is strong, the Spirit of Christmas will always be alive, despite the invisible presence of the demons around us.
