Ch 1
It was Christmas Eve in the swamp and the babies were asleep. Shrek and Fiona were in bed when they heard hooves on the roof. "St Nick's here. I hope the kids put out stuff for him." Shrek said but as Santa came down the chimney, he saw Idina, Gingy's new girlfriend. "Mmm! Gingerbread!" he told himself.
"No!" Gingy yelled as he bit the head off Idina's body. But Santa was freaked by that and tripped. Shrek was woken up by moaning. He was surprised to see St Nick lying there. He looked freaked as the ogre knelt by him. "You okay? Don't worry. I'm not gonna hurt ya. What happened?" he told him gently. "I fell. I think I broke my leg. I can't deliver presents like this… not unless somebody replaces me for the night, somebody with the same body weight as me." He explained looking at Shrek and getting an idea… Shrek had a feeling he was going to ask him something. "Shrek I need you to be me just for tonight. I know you probably don't but I know you will." St Nick said.
Shrek sighed as he looked at the triplets asleep. "Fine. I'll do it." he answered. "Thank you so much. I know Christmas is in safe hands." Santa told him as he vanished in a swirl of snowflakes. Shrek then went outside. He saw the sleigh and climbed onto the roof. He then stepped into the sleigh. He saw the Santa suit with a card attached to the coat. "Put it on. The reindeer will know what to do." it read. "I hope Fiona understands why I'm gone." Shrek thought as he put the Santa suit on. A shimmer of magic surrounded him but vanished. He then watched as the sleigh lifted off and shot off into the sky like a rocket. "Woah! This is cool!" Shrek thought as the night passed by slowly. As dawn broke, the sleigh landed in a snowy place. "Come on guys! I wanna go home, spend Christmas with my family!" he told the reindeer. He then felt the sleigh being lowered into a big room. Lots of kids with pointy ears were building things which looked like ... toys? "What is this place?" he asked himself but the elves stopped working as they saw him. They were a little afraid but the Head Elf reassured them. He could tell that this ogre had been made Santa by the old one. "What do you mean?" Shrek asked not understanding.
"Don't worry. Apparently you're the new Santa." the head elf replied. Shrek fainted at that. "Is he gonna be okay?" an elf asked worried. "He'll be fine. He's just a little shocked at the news. I'm sure he'll feel better when he comes around." he answered softly...
