KringleCon back at the castle, set the stage...
But it's under construction like my GeoCities page.
Feel I need a passport exploring on this platform -
Got half floors with back doors provided that you hack more!
Heading toward the light, unexpected what you see next:
An alternate reality, the vision that it reflects.
Mental buffer's overflowing like a fast food drive-thru trash can.
Who and why did someone else impersonate the big man?
You're grepping through your brain for the portrait's "JFS"
"Jack Frost: Santa," he's the villain who had triggered all this mess!
Then it hits you like a chimney when you hear what he ain't saying:
Pushing hard through land disputes, tryin' to stop all Santa's sleighing.
All the rotting, plotting, low conniving streaming from that skull.
Holiday Hackers, they're no slackers, returned Jack a big, old null!
Thanks for the interesting challenge guys and see you next year!
Maybe I also found out why Jack Frosty was so grinchy this year...
...did I ask to make a run run Rudolph challenge next year already?
I got myself an Honorable Mention submitting the writeup for this challenge, thank you guys!
...I kinda hope this will make me deal with Rudolph...
