"In the Late December" by Greg van Eekhout
(Short story)
This tale starts off sounding like a standard fantasy; Santa Claus getting on his sleigh to deliver presents. It is only when we see what kind of 'boys' and 'girls' he gives presents to that we start to realise that this is no ordinary Santa. As for Santa himself, he will have to face his ultimate foe (who is making the kids disappear) at the end of time.
