You're oh so far away
I have a real vendetta against people who take good sinister children's stories and give then happy or politically correct endings.
I was reading 'chicken licken's Christmas' at the dentist this morning. Firstly there is no romantic reason for them all trooping through the book, except that the chicken (who I very much doubt was even a descendent of the real chicken licken) has received a letter from santa asking for help. Then when they find out (as is all very well and good) that it is a cruel trick by foxy loxy, they avoid imminent death by throwing snow in his face and locking him out of the house. It ends on them all sitting happily around the dinner table with no one whatsoever getting eaten.
Except perhaps turkey lurkey, given the time of year.
