...Not a Creature was Stirring, not Even an Economics Teacher!

It's Christmas Eve, everybody! Santa is loading up his sleigh with gifts for all the good boys and girls, and soon he'll be on his way, guided by his trusty reindeer...possibly including a fairly disturbing Mrs. Bennett, who is apparently into the furry subculture as well as the Fuzzy-Wuzzy Wee-Bits.
