Njrick's "Six of the Best" Challenge - Round 3: "Christmas"

@crudcutter
Not to turn this into a debate, but I found half a dozen good stories reading fewer than 20, not hundreds, and derived plenty of holiday cheer. The secret is to focus on types of material you know you like (type, length, orientation sexual content, and most of all, author). For people who already do even a modest amount of reading here, I figured it would be a nice alternative to the Latest Loaded list to do some holiday-themed reading.

As a result of GuyfromRI's request, I am bumping this thread which has lots of suggestions for holiday-themed reading material. Reader's are encouraged to expand the list by nominating their own "Six of the Best" holiday stories (following some very minimal rukes given in the initial post on the thread.

Here's a short list in random order of some excellent stories on this delightful theme:

Christmas Treat by Sir Cambornek
A lovely tale about a young teacher cocking up and having to pay an extremely humiliating price at the hands of a whole load of retired headmasters. There is an astonishing twist as well. Get ready for plenty of spanking action where teachers gets their bottoms roasted.

Christmas Pantomime Part 6 by Dr. Keate
A public demonstration of a spanking machine prototype, what can possibly go wrong? Plenty it seems. A feast if you enjoy mechanical spankings.

Naughty or Nice by Dave Caldwell
If you're going to work as Santa's helper, you'd better not be in need of an attitude adjustment, because he for certain knows his thing. A well-deserved rump-roasting for the holidays.

Christmas Tales From The Black Swan by Flatfish
So many spankings in so wonderful settings, told in a relaxed and entertaining manner.

Red-bottomed Elf by Minidancer
It's been said before, but if you're going to be Santa's helper, you had better behave.

A Christmas Miracle by Bashful Bob
Ooooh yes! Spanking DOES save lives! Absolutely charming.

And finally the shameless self-plug:

Under the Mistletoe by Gloup
Trying to fit in when having moved to a completely different culture might be difficult and sometimes trying to pretend that you know what's going on just makes things a zillion times worse, as for this young lady who finds herself getting her bottom roasted over and over as the misunderstandings keep piling up.

Happy reading and a Merry Christmas to you all!

Ok, ok - since everyone positively insists, I'll offer another slate:

Santa's Naughty List, by teddybear (M/F, 2,324)
Just in case Santa turns out to be real, Tracy confesses her wrongdoings in the hope that the result will expunge them.

A Wonderful Display by ruegirl (M/F, 2,367)
Two adjacent shop owners go all out competing for the best window display.

Eddie's Christmas Tale by pinkangel (M/F, 1,067)
Down and out Eddie finds that working as a shopping centre Santa can have its side benefits.

The Best Christmas Present Ever by Alan Barr (M/F, 3,679)
Her initial attempt to give him the best present ever doesn't work out as planned, forcing her to try a new tack.

The Magic Strap by cindy2 (M/F, 2,545)
Elf Gretchen has to use her creativity to ensure Santa can travel safely on Christmas Eve.

Santa's Lap by Rick Marlowe (M/F, 1,938)
Sensing that her relationship with Mike is slipping away, Carol enlists Santa's help in a last ditch effort to get what she really wants for Christmas.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

I'm bumping this topic in order to give members suggestions for some holiday-themed stories.

Readers are also encouraged to make OTHER recommendations as well (following the rules, of course; I'm a big believer in rules)

I would love to play by the rules but I'm afraid all I'm going to manage is a "shameless self-plug" (which, considering all the plugging I've experienced both at my own hands and others' will seem like a picnic.) The thing is in order to use the search feature in the way suggested, one needs to be a subscriber, and I'm not. Second, not one, (check if you don't believe me) recommended story herein this thread is F/M, so I can't even RE-recommend those. And lastly the one Christmas story I used to have in my favorites (which is also not F/M but F/F) seems to have been pulled from the shelves. So, given that the fates seem stacked against me, I am just going to plug a story I only just submitted this year: "A Non-refundable Gift Exchange" ...........which for the poor little Femdom fans who were waiting in the cold, frosty air for Santa only to end up with a lump of coal all these years, is..................yes, believe it, Virginia, there IS a Femdom Christmas story................F/M.

I'm more of a bah, humbug type when it comes to Old Saint Nick. I'm going to take my collection of coals and switches, and not play. With one exception: <b>Lurking Dragon's Melody stories</b>, the first of the long series is "<b>Melody's Xmas.</b>" The only place the story is available on the internet that I know of is on Laura's Spanking Corner. A very severe story of a criminal physically age regressed to 6 for her crimes and put in the custody of spanko parents to serve a sentence of aging from 6 years to 12 years. The punishments, and the age of the child, are way over the top for me.

With apologies to njrick, I'll advance a theme idea which, if there is an overwhelming response, might be worth a round of lists on a theme: April Fool's Day.

Typically, the custom on April Fool's Day is to pull practical jokes and hoaxes on others. I gather from wikipedia that the custom of a day for pranks is "relatively common worldwide." There are great things that are said to the recipients of the pranks in Hispanic parts of the Americas, for example. And the kicker is this now or former tradition in Belgium: "It used to be a day where parents, grandparents, and teachers would fool the children in some way." Fool the children (of any age)? Oh my. The story possibilities that meet this theme in the LSF library are probably legion.

I like these challenges, thank you, Rick!

Due to not being a subscriber at the moment, the stories I found are a bit limited to what I managed to pull from memory and what I found under the letter C in the bookshelves. Plenty of choice there, though! I admit I haven't read them all, but I'd like to list some I enjoyed and which I think haven't been mentioned in this thread yet, in no particular order.

A high stress Christmas by John Graves (F/M)
John and Mary have been meticulously cleaning their house in preparation for the visit of Mary's mother. Then, Mary finds a piece of coal on the floor and assumes John has played a dirty prank. But has he?
(By the way, this story also features in the book 'Christmas Spanking: F/M Femdom Tales' by LSF Publications. See, KDPierre, F/M Christmas stories are available and not that hard to find! ;) )

Christmas at Woodbridge manor by Flopsybunny (M/F)
When her father invites the whole village to spend Christmas at the manor, Lady Elizabeth ensures her bottom will be warmed by the young man she fancies.

Christmas ditty by Firefly (M/F)
A poem describing an interesting Christmas morning.

Christmas, covid, and a spanking by KatiePie (M/F)
When Polly can't spend Christmas with her parents due to covid, she is overcome with disappointment and bad attitude. Fortunately, her uncle will be there for her.

The Unicycle Cricket Club, part 7 by Mark Hall (M/F)

A Christmas wish by DJ Black (M/F)
Carrie hasn't told anyone about her secret wish to be spanked. Of course, Santa and his elves know.

And to add a shameless self-plug (which terrifies me, but let's try to be brave this Christmas season):

Sweet revenge by Diana Miller (M/FF)
Ever been annoyed at premature Christmas decorating? This might be a story you enjoy.

Self plug, sorry not sorry , Winter Holiday

A self plug. Spanking Santa's Helpers.
