The Dentist Who Saves…Christmas!... Part 2. (There's Trouble In Toyville Edition)

Whether you like it or not...Christmas is here!...and you can bet your sweet bippy and your "when you're younger, it's easier to receive than give, and when you're older, it's easier to give than to receive" smile, that we are definitely continuing where we left of last time with The Dentist Who Saved…Christmas!... Part 1. which had HSR, AS A FRESHMAN AT USMFC DENTAL SCHOOL, 

ABOUT TO GO ON WINTER BREAK, AND HE RELUCTANTLY GIVES IN TO A PRETTY CLASSMATE'S

DESIRES AND AGREES TO ACCOMPANY HER, RUTHIE, WHEN SHE VISITS HER HOME TOWN OF  MADAWASKA, IN UPSTATE MAINE, OVER THE CHRISTMAS VACATION, AND SHE SAYS...

"I'LL MAKE SURE  THAT YOU HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE!"...

AND SHE GIVES HIM A BIG ENVELOPING HUG, THAT ALMOST SEEMS TO JOLT A LITTLE ELECTRICITY IN HIM!...

SO, THEY START OUT THE AIR TRIP OKAY...

WITH A SOLID AND UNEVENTFUL TAKE OFF...

AND THEN THEY LEVEL OFF FOR A PREDICTABLE, MINIMAL TURBULENCE, LONG LEG OF THE TRIP...

HOWEVER, UPON LANDING...

THE PLANE FACES HEAVY CROSS WINDS...

BUT THE PILOT ASSURES EVERYONE ON BOARD THAT HE IS VERY VERSED AT DEALING WITH THESE CONDITIONS...

AND HE COMES IN FOR THE LANDING...AT AN ANGLE...AND SAYS, "EIGHT BALL, CORNER POCKET, ONE TIME OFF THE CUSHION!"...

AND, BLAM!... HE NAILS IT!...WITH A LITTLE "ENGLISH" SPIN, THROWN IN FOR GOOD MEASURE!

THEN, EVERYONE GIVES A STANDING ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO THE PILOT...

BUT THE PILOT SAYS, "THANKS, BUT PLEASE KEEP YOUR SEAT BELTS ON TILL WE STOP, MY PRECIOUS CARGO!

SO, SUPREMELY THANKFUL THAT THE FLIGHT WENT WELL, HSR, AS SOON AS HE REACHES TERRA FIRMA, FALLS TO HIS KNEES, THEN LOOKS TO THE SKIES ABOVE, AND MAKES SOME SIGNS OF PRAYER TO THANK THE MAN UPSTAIRS...

AND HSR SAYS, "I PROMISE TO KEEP DOING GOOD!"

NOW, HSR AND HIS CLASSMATE GET THEIR BAGS AND HEAD ON OVER TO HER PARENT'S PLACE, PASSING THROUGH CIVIC CENTER...

AND, SINCE IT HASN'T SNOWED YET,

THE LYFT DRIVER AND THEM, CATCH SOME OF THE ANNUAL ACADIAN FESTIVAL

IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA

AND HE EVEN SEES SOME UNUSUAL, "HEALTHFUL FLOATS!"...

SO, AFTER THAT EXCITEMENT, THEY MAKE IT TO RUTHIE'S PLACE, AND HE MEETS HER FAMILY, AND EVEN SOME NEIGHBORS, AND THEY HAVE A WELCOMING SIT DOWN BEFORE DINNER...

AND, OF COURSE, RUTHIE'S GOOD NEIGHBOR, MRS. OPHELIA MORTARMACKENBRIGDE, BRASHLY ASKS,

"RUTHIE, ARE YOU AND YOUR NICE YOUNG MAN FRIEND GOING TO GET HITCHED?"...

AND HSR SORT OF ROLLS HIS EYES LITTLE, AND LOOKS AT ONE NICE PAINTING ON THE WALL...

AND THEN ANOTHER

AND HSR LETS ON, "RUTHIE'S A VERY FINE YOUNG LADY WHOM I RESPECT A LOT, BUT, WE JUST MET IN DENTAL SCHOOL!

AND MRS. OPHELIA IMMEDIATELY SNAPS BACK, "MARRY HIM, RUTHIE! HE'S GOT GOOD MANNERS AND GOOD GRAMMAR!...

AND RUTHIE SORT OF ROLLS HER EYES A LITTLE AND SAYS, "YES, MOM, I MEAN, MRS. "O," I'LL THINK ABOUT IT," AS SHE GAZES HER BIG DOLEFUL EYES AT HSR!...

THEN THEY HAVE A BIG DINNER ...

WITH LOTS OF LAUGHING AND SOME NOISY YOUNGER CHILDREN AROUND...

AND NOW IT'S BEDTIME, AND HSR GETS A SEPARATE ROOM, AND HE QUICKLY FALLS ASLEEP...AND DREAMS ABOUT IT SNOWING  OUTSIDE...

AND WHEN HE WAKES UP AND LOOKS OUT OF THE WINDOW, HE SEES THAT THERE REALLY WAS A MAJOR SNOW STORM LAST NIGHT THAT HIS DREAM PREDICTED...

SO, HE GETS UP OUT OF BED AND HAS A HEARTY BREAKFAST, THEN VOLUNTEERS TO USE THE SNOW BLOWER TO CLEAR THE WAY FOR PEOPLE AND CARS...

BUT SOMETIMES HE ASKS HIMSELF..."IS THIS REALLY HELPING?"...

AND HE EVEN DOES SOME OF THE NEIGHBORS' STUFF...

BUT, THEN, HE ACCIDENTALLY STEPS ON TOP OF...AND FALLS INTO!... A SNOWY SINK HOLE!...

AND HSR TUMBLES AND SLIDES A LONG WAY DOWN...LIKE THE HEIGHT OF A THREE TO FOUR STORY BUILDING...BUT DOWNWARD!...

SO HIS DESCENT FINALLY STOPS...AND HE GETS UP AND BRUSHES OFF HIS CLOTHES...

AND HSR'S SO GLAD THAT HE'S CURRENTLY WEARING HIS "SUBZERO ANTARCTIC OUTFIT" WITH ALL OF THE TRIMMINGS FROM THE ONLINE STORE CALLED "WELL, SHIVER ME TIMBERS!"...

SO HE BREAKS OUT HIS EXTREME-WEATHER FLASHLIGHT, AND AT THAT MOMENT, HE HEARS A FEMALE VOICE PLEADING, "IS ANYBODY THERE? HELP ME, PLEASE...I'M TRAPPED!"

SO, HSR SHOUTS BACK, "KEEP TALKING, SO I CAN GET TO YOU!"

AND FOLLOWING THE VOICE, HSR GOES DOWN THIS CAVE...

AND THEN PAST SOME CEILING ICICLES...

AND THEN PAST SOME FLOOR ICICLES...

AND WHOA!...WHAT A...

SPECTACULAR SPECTACLE!...

"IS ANYBODY WITH YOU!" HSR SHOUTS TO THE TRAPPED PERSON...

"NO, IT'S JUST ME NOW!"

HSR NOW THINKS, " WAS SOMEBODY WITH HER AND THEY MET WITH DANGER?"

"OKAY, I'M STILL COMING!"...HE SAYS...

AND HSR COMES ACROSS AN ICE GORGE...

"ARE YOU DOWN THERE?" HE ASKS...

"YES! I'M HERE!" THE WOMAN RESPONDS BACK...

AND HE HAS TO SCALE ON DOWN...

AND FINALLY...HE SAYS, "ARE YOU HERE!"

"YES! I'M HERE! OH, IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE SOMEONE!...

"IF ONLY YOU CAN LIFT ME UP OUT OF HERE!" THE WOMAN SAYS...

"OKAY! I'LL THROW YOU A ROPE!...

SO HE THROWS A ROPE DOWN AND FINALLY PULLS HER UP TO WHERE HE IS...

AND, OVERCOME BY HAPPINESS, SHE SQUEEZES HIM REAL REAL TIGHT AND SAYS,

"YOU ARE MY BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT, EVER!"

Christmas Time is here!...!

...and once again...so is the great Dr. Goldie Periola!

OMG!

Every year, she dutifully takes care of all of the dental needs of Santa and his family and support staff.

And, boy...are they all ever so thankful!

This is the "crunch time" of the year, when they can't think about themselves and their own needs...they have to meet the big deadline...and must have all of the presents ready,

in a fun kind of way, of course,

but without exception!...

...especially that Lego Disneyland set

for that "sometimes-good" little boy in Castel Gandolfo, Italy...

and a Bratz Doll Collection

for that "occasionally-naughty" 4 year-old girl from Lima, Peru!

So, millions of toys, games, and other asked-and-begged-for presents are just about to be shipped out to massive, yet secret, fulfillment centers strategically located around the world!

But little does the CEO of Santa Claus Enterprises know that...

"Ante Claus" is back!...

...so you know what that means! 

There's major trouble in Toyville!

And the members of Ante Claus's select "elf gang"...are as creepy as they come!

But, I must say, that they always have some great-looking, hard-working, and eager-to-please assistants...

and girlfriends!...

And Ante Claus's son, "Big Nickie, J." really knows how to increasingly-ramp up the partying during this time of year!

Of course, the first part of Ante Claus's plan is to disrupt the supply chain!...

So they go to the main warehouse, where all of the world's toys are stored...

And just before the toys are shipped to distribution centers...Ante Claus's gang overpowers the warehouse's protective security forces...

and any support staff and elves present and vulnerable are instantly immobilized!

That is...except for Dr. Goldie Periola! 

She just happens to be strolling down the "Tunnel of Christmas lights,"

...and gazing at the painting, "Vanilla Breakthrough!,"

but then she hears the noisy battle and takeover from a distance...

So, she immediately gets on the "Cold" Line and calls Santa's family...

And sooner than you can say "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer,"

Santa's two brothers show up...Big Time...and are ready to Rumble!...

Here's Santa's big brother.....named Glacier Blade!

And here's...Borealis...who used to be the snotty-nosed baby brother named Boo Boo!...but not anymore!...

And next, Dr. Periola calls in, you guessed it!...

The Little Green Army!

And they all come in...and kick some major "A!"

Then, they free all the elves that were captured and "bottled up!"...

And later in the extinguishment, Santa himself shows up, and "opens up a can of Whuppin' Cream!"

And that right there made Ante Claus and his whole gang run far away out of Toyville,

... hopefully for a very long time!

Hip hip hooray!

So, now, Santa and his "Peeps" get the show back on the road!

And finish packing all of the gifts!

Now, with everything packed and ready, the elves celebrate by hanging from the lights and chandeliers, 

...and wearing the lamp shades!

Oh, yeah...this year, a couple of the reindeer gave birth, so they get maternity leave and will join back next year!...

In the meantime, against the wishes of Mrs. Claus, Santa gets to spin around the world in his favorite "Tricked-Out Hog!"...

...and he's securely accompanied by a cool escort crew!

...for a smooth and bumpless ride!

So, Christmas was in danger of being lost this year, but thanks to our heroes and sheroes, the Holidays go along as planned...

...and nobody else knows a thing!

Now, once again, everyone around the whole world is so glad to give!...

and to receive!...

And that requesting person in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, is so happy to finally receive some

...paint and parts for her family car!

Okay, you all, please remember that...

                                                 "Uncle Santa loves you!"








May you have many...hey, is the world ever going to run out of chocolate?...everything associated with the December Holidays creates a huge carbon footprint, but it's worth it, right?...is November and December like the "weekend" of the year?...smiles!
