"The Chimney" is a new, old Christmas story about a primordial Santa from the frozen wastes; he comes bearing sticks and stones instead of toys, and wears a reindeer-skin robe fastened with elf-knuckles— what's not to love?

"The Chimney" was written by Lisa Annelouise Rentz, a writer and staffer at ARTworks in Beaufort, and was read by Max Berendt at the Liars' League Give & Take Christmas event at The Albany, Great Portland Street, in London.
