Inner Critic: I want this to be the best Christmas ever!

Jasmine: I was told you might get coal for Christmas.

Inner Critic: What? Who told you this?

Jasmine: I can't say. You criticize writers! How do you expect to get some gifts for Christmas, if you spew negative comments towards writers?

Inner Critic: Did Santa tell you this?

Jasmine: Like I said, I'm not at liberty to say. Much as I hate to tell you, you're in for a rough Christmas, IC.

Inner Critic: *nervously* Tell me you're joking!

Jasmine: I wish I was. Sorry. *shrugs* I'm going to Taco Bell, you want anything?

Inner Critic: Well.... I.....

Jasmine: I said, do you want anything?

Inner Critic: I'm not hungry.

Jasmine: Alright. *leaves*

Inner Critic: This has to be a joke! Otherwise, my Christmas is gonna be ruined!
