Mary was quite content as she worked on her pastry. She knew the #parameters of the Christmas Bake Off competition, and the fancy deserts her competitors were working on. Still, she was confident that her #mincepies would prove themselves.

The invitation sounded blissful: #Christmas at a remote cabin, phones and other devices banned.
We said #yes without hesitation.
But here in the woods, surrounded by strangers and miles from anywhere, it feels odd. I’m sure I hear noises in those trees.

Molly often dreamed of being a #Citizen of the north pole, to gaze up in awe and #wonder at Santa's workshop. She hugged her raggedy blanket, pretending the cold breeze coming from the broken window was the north wind. She was happier there.

Bill the postman braced himself, the snow was making it impossible to reach the #mailbox. #Devoted to the cause though, Bill wasn't going to let any children's letters to santa go astray under his watch.

The gnome duly checked the Mushroom's #mycelia over, all the while the #Robin chirped away the news of the forest. The gnome laughed happily. The Elves may take the spotlight this time of year, but there was still plenty left to do.

Then they #shoot through the sky, bells jingling.
“Look outside!” the children call. “Starlings!”
I look again. Shapes morph into Santa’s sleigh & back again. Just a murmuration?
I smile. Can’t be. Starlings wouldn’t conjure this much #christmasmagic. #vss365 #vsschristmas

A thud on the roof made me #jump.
“ #Reindeer?” the kids called.
“Probably. Back to sleep!”
Outside, huge hoofprints steamed in the snow.
“We want carrots!” voices boomed.
I shook my head. I’d had too much sherry.
Santa appeared. “Hope you didn’t drink mine?” #vss365 #vsschristmas

It was a #snow covered Xmas Day morning. Its pristine soft white rooftop blanketing—marred by the paw prints of the cat & reindeer hooves.
They had fought & she had won. No presents were left for my judgey new neighbours.
Witchy cats never slip & fall.

on Christmas Day,
sitting under a lit tree
reminiscing old days
#wishing my parents
were still with me
feeling chilled before a fireplace
until you hug me from behind
you, my love, are the reason
I #survive after drowning
in painful memories every day

Lionel sighed as he observed the #planaria, they were majestic creatures but his heart lay else where. He remembered the days of his youth, the #snowman he built, and the adventures that came with it. A smile crossed his face as the snow started to fall.
