A Christmas Carole by Austin Carr
Christmas Eve finds Carole despondent and alone in front of the television set while her husband Gary is working. Sensing their marriage is failing she ponders why Gary is so distant with her. Recalling his Christmas gift last year of a burnished wooden spanking paddle, she is disappointed he hasn't outgrown such silliness. Opting for an early night, she goes to bed and switches on the television set in the bedroom and drifts off to sleep ... to be awakened later by a noise and a strange light. A waif-like young woman is standing in her bathroom, and when she points to the mirror, it reveals a scene of a much younger and happier Gary being spanked by his first girlfriend. In the next scene Carole observes the cutting comments made by her younger self in response to Gary's request for her to spank him. Her next vision shows Gary at work and on very good terms with a female colleague, and the final vision shows herself as a lonely and bitter woman. She is desperate to change her life and avoid that outcome, and when Gary returns from his late shift, she greets him with the long-handled bath brush, and as she spanks him - to his obvious surprise and delight - she feels exhilarated, completely liberated and totally in command of her husband. Theirs is a marriage worth saving.
