Hehe, sorry about that, I thought the title would really screw with everyone.

Well it is finally December. That jolly time of year where the corporate legends begin rolling in their graves.

That's not what I would prefer to believe, though (Despite how many commercials I've seen in the last 10 minutes of target's christmas stuff, Kids Bop christmas, Jak-in-the-box christmas balls and...what I think might be a car commercial but the children singing about V-6 engines is a little too terrifying.

...Thank god for Smallville's Lexmas.

Yes, you heard me. I watch Smallville. *sigh* I told myself it was a stupid show and there would just be slobbering fan-girls all over it but my dad found it on an High Definition channel and it got me hooked sweatdrop (I may have lost the battle...but I have not lost the WARRRR! Rar!).

ANYWAY. The Lexmas episode was adorable. (It wasn't a complete copy of Family Man, oh no ninja ). Lex ended up getting shot in an alley by some jolly muggers and the blood loss caused a mild delirium where he saw a life married to Lana. Supposedly, it was the life he could have if he makes the right choses latr in life.

During Lex's little accident, Clark puts his holiday at hold when Chloe calls him to meet her at the Daily Planet for some help. He gets there to find out that the 'Toys for Tots' foundation had a small mix-up and they couldn't send the toys through the mail system (no good postal workers ninja ). Clark ends up agreeing to play Santa Claus but gets more than he bargained for when he finds a room filled to the brim with toys. He had to deliver each and every one of them across thousands of areas across the world. Sure it was annoying, but someone had to do it.

While delivering packages, Clark goes running through each and every house at top speeds (how he got inside is beyond me), grabbing cookies and milk when he had the chance until he was setting a few presents down and heard a little girl's voice behind him (I wonder how many people use the little girl for the symbol of christmas spirit in movies/stories/shows?).

"You're not Santa," she says, swaying back and forth in a shy manner.

"Uh...Yes I am," Clark says, putting his santa hat on his head. "I'm the new and improved model."

"No, He is," the little girl says, pointing out the window.

A jolly figure could be seen on the roof of a nearby apartment complex looking rather...inebriated (holy crap, I spelled that right). Clark notices the man's state and approaches him shortly after to see what was wrong.

It seemed that the red-suited fat man was down and out. He claimed that the christmas spirit was dead and a santa wasn't going to be enough t bring it back.

Once Clark had the red-nosed bell-ringer situated away from the edge of the roof he decided to explain that he was giving up his own christmas with his girlfriend, as well as Chloe, to get the presents delivered.

After a heartening conversation, the bearded drunk decided that the holiday spirit was still alive and that there was something to live for again.

Of course, at the last second, he stumbled to the side in a drunken stupor and fell off the roof top.

Clark, being the super man that he is, quickly ran down the side of the building and caught the jelly-filled eggnog addict.

The flushed rose nud merely appeared stunned, shouting "Ho ho HOLY COW!" as he meandered away.

Later we find the same man with wiskey on his breath and a twinkle in his eye in Chloe's office filled of toys. He offered some help to Chloe and Clark's little expedition.

After Chloe finally agreed and went to grab directions to each house, she turned around to find the red beer wonder and the remaining toys were gone. When she told Clark about it at her parent's christmas party, she, of course, brought up the suggestion that there was a real Santa out there.

By the end of the episode, Lex decides to be the holiday buzz-kill by waking from his comatose state in the hospital and admitting that he only wanted to live happily ever after. And the secret to getting it was money and power and he wanted it all. It was then that he agreed to hire a hit-man to take out his competition with Clark's dad for senate. It looks like they're FINALLY starting to get Lex to the god-damned dark side. He really should have gone Sephiroth on our asses by now.

SOOO

After watching this (besides the buzz-kill) I figured I might write a small little christmas story of my own. I was already considering it but it helps to get the right kind of feeling and all.

When and if I finish, I may post it up on here for anyone who wants to read it during the season.

That's about all I have to say in this one.
