I'm sure people are too busy with holiday preparations to read blog posts today, but it's tradition to put my 15 Minute Tweet Tales up on Tuesday, so here they are. I went with a Christmas theme all week, so I hope they help put you in the holiday spirit … well, at least the cheery tales. Some of the tales are kind of bleak, but I promise I'm full of holiday cheer!
12/18 – Timmy is labile, always seconds from a temper tantrum, which is why his mom lives for December: finally peace via an Elf on the Shelf.
12/19 – Her husband smacks her when he sees the patulous space in the new Christmas tree. She fills it with red balls. His two bloody red balls.
12/20 – He gets odd looks when he sings "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" in April, but it's the only song that works as a berceuse for his son.
12/21 – The whisper of the claudent curtains wakes Suzy and Mom almost cries. Santa needs the time to build a bike, wrap toys and stuff stockings.
12/22 – Everyone admires the hereism of Santa and Mrs. Claus, but it's easy to stay true when reindeer and elves are your only alternative.
12/23 – Her friends laugh at the preciosity of her holiday newsletters, but her family's so lacking she has to do something to spruce them up.
12/24 – The apical angel gives all clear signal from atop the tree. Tired from hanging around, ornaments take a cookie break. Too slow, Santa.
I hope everyone's holiday season is full of love and laughter!
And my dog Freya wishes everyone a Merry Christmas!
