PLEASANT VALLEY – In a bizarre turn of events, a woman named Ashley Coville has declared war on none other than Santa Claus himself, all because of a loophole she claims is ruining the festive spirit for parents everywhere. Coville is up in arms about what she calls the “Late December Loophole,” a cunning strategy discovered by her mischievous son, Dennis, three years ago.
According to Coville, her 9-year-old son stumbled upon the loophole thanks to some older boys in their apartment complex. This diabolical loophole allegedly allows children to indulge in unruly behavior from December 26 until the stroke of midnight on December 31. Then, like magic, the little rascals can reform themselves on January 1, maintaining a façade of angelic behavior throughout the rest of the year. It’s a devious plan that has left parents scratching their heads and, in Ashley’s case, fuming with fury.
Dennis, the mastermind behind the chaos, has turned these five days at the end of each year into a personal rampage. From neglecting household chores to shaving the family cat and bleaching the dog, he’s wreaked havoc in the Coville household. His audacious acts even include poking holes in the drywall with his father’s drill, a tool that Ashely says really should have been securely stored away.
“He never picks up after himself, refuses to flush the toilet, spills drinks intentionally—I’m telling you, it’s a nightmare!” exclaims a frustrated Ashley. “And he knows Santa can’t touch him once January 1st hits. It’s like a free pass to be a little terror for five whole days.”
Ashley is not content to let this madness continue unchecked. In an open letter to the North Pole, she demands that Santa Claus make an official statement to establish that the Christmas year must begin on December 26. Her argument is that the loophole is ruining the holiday season for parents everywhere, allowing children to behave badly for almost a week with no consequences.

While we wait for Santa’s response, one thing is for certain: the “Late December Loophole” has brought chaos and frustration to households, and parents like Ashley Coville are not taking it lying down. While Santa Claus has not officially responded to Ashley’s request, rumors from the North Pole suggest that the elves are convening for an emergency workshop meeting to discuss the matter. Will Santa close the “Late December Loophole,” or will the mischievous kids continue to exploit this holiday hiccup? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – Christmas chaos may never be the same!
