As dawn approaches, custodians sweep broken glass from the floors of the empty, decrepit shopping malls. Today is the morning after Rejectmas in The Rejected Realms. A familiar tune echoes through the halls
♫ ♪ Are you hannnnnging up a caroller on your wall?
It's the time that every child has a ball!
Does he tell you his greatest fear?
Look to the stars and the moon,
Colour the house purple, black and dramoon! ♫ ♪

like always, Rejectmas has devastated the local shopping centres and authorities suggest that this year, in particular, there were even higher recorded incidences of violence targeting carolers than last year.
As the collective hangover passes, the Foreign Affairs department is expected to return to work shortly and sign the paperwork for The Rejected Realms eighteen new embassies, which had been approved spontaneously and without due consideration. The new embassies include, Union of States, Advanta, The Federation of Micro States, The Region for Christians, 786 Main St Deathland, The Red Raiders, The Social Quarters, Coalition of Allied Nations, War Weary, Swingsack, Eternal Silence, The World Alliance, The Republic Nations, The Order of Disorder, Brightport, Right to Life, An Escape, Sangreal and Thomasmoria.
When asked whether he felt the festivities had been, perhaps, too enthusiastic, the delegate, Unibot scoffed. Get off it! Its Rejectmas!
How did the Rejects delegate spend his Rejectmas, you might ask? Although slightly pained by a recent operation (wisdom teeth), the delegate had been bombarded with candy from citizens and appeared to be in good spirits as he gave the Christmas Lecture at the NationStates World Fair; Speaking Truth to Power describes itself as a comparative analysis of freedom of speech in Game-Created Regions.
I spent Rejectmas like any good Reject should! says Unibot, wearing the most god-awful jumper. Eating tangerines and drinking coffee. Looted some fine presents in the morning. Watched some Doctor Who. Erm, watched a lot of Doctor Who. And of course, seafood. My aunt and I make it a tradition to eat seafood every Rejectmas. Not sure why, but it's good.
His favourite
Actually, it might be a bit boring, but I got a couple of jumpers which I actually think are quite nice, says Unibot, adding with a wink, - think the gals might agree.
As for what is in store for The Rejected Realms next year, Unibot insists youll have to wait and see.
All I can say is: I was cooking up a storm in my kitchen for one of the regions next projects, explains Unibot, smoke was everywhere. Havent nailed it yet, but I think itll turn out beautiful when I get it right!
In the meantime, we here at The Rejected Times hope you all had a very Hairy Rejectmas!
