This story would have had more impact if it had better pacing. Stretches of normalcy punctuated by Santa being a giant dick. Doing it like that would have made the jokes funnier and the story easier to read IMO.
I don't know about that. I thought that the pacing was very on spot. Clearly, this story was not written over the span of several nights, but likely in one sitting. That being said, the pacing through the entire thing flows very well. From one paragraph to another, and even to the next part, it's very consistent.
I feel like if you controlled the jokes or the language, then this story would lose out on the complete control of flow this story establishes. I wouldn't say that it would have more impact had it done what you asked, but it would have been a completely different story. I'm pretty sure that this story is supposed to be utterly absurd and fucking nuts anyways.
