I may be talking baubles

But while I was half awake

I spread the icing on my tree

As snow fell on the cake

#vsschristmas 'Welcome to the Scrooge Seminar!' said the now six-foot tall Tim. 'I'm sure you're all excited to meet the man himself & hear his story about how he reformed & became a kind & generous man...'
'Boo! Where's my complimentary Mint #Humbug ?' said Jeff. 'Refund!'

Joy was very stressed out. Cooking for all the family.

Happy Anniversary.

Sister #Robin carried the poor little waif in her arms. They found him in the basement @ No: 5 Clydevale. Someone had tried to #starve him to death & almost succeeded. He was @ death's door, & not much hope of recovery. Who would do this to a helpless child?

Early autumn sloes begin

To tumble into Christmas gin

And soon we sinful...

Will enjoy a skin-full

I smile sweetly at the brunette, barely out of school, bartender handing me my glass of white wine.
'Anything else I can get you, #angel ?'
I nearly choke on my first sip of the fruity liquid. An #angel I'm most certainly not! Quite the opposite.

in the #fireplace
where we know he will appear
we set the bear trap

You snuck into my garden & built a #snowman , you gave him your hat so i'd know it was you. I only noticed him after the police had left, his charcoal grin wonky, your hat drooping over 1 eye. I held him until I was sodden, or was it the tears? I still wear the hat. #vsschristmas

The Christmas pudding
Smelled so sweet
As elves on shelves
Stomped their feet
Singing songs
Of Santa’s feats
All on Christmas Eve

Outside the snow
Lay fresh & cold
And starlight shone
Through chimney smoke
When the sound
Of sleigh bells jingle
From the roof
Arose

“Welcome to my anti-Christmas establishment,Hargreaves.”
“What’s it’s called, Sir. This ‘establishment’ of yours?”
“Bar #Humbug .”
“Original. Can I get a vodka martini?”
“Of course. That’ll be £92.”
“£92!”
“Don’t be a Scrooge,Hargreaves.”
“Here…”
“Happy Hanukkah.”

A cheeky RT for today's #vsschristmas prompt (from back in April). If you didn't have #dendrophobia before walking through these woods, you definitely would after this experience 😉😬🌲🌳

'Err, Peter, where has all the vodka gone from the vault?'
'You drank it all, Abi.'
'Really? But I only restocked it yesterday. Normally it lasts a week.'
'No, it normally lasts two days, so you've gone from a silver to a #gold medal for how fast you can down it.'
#vsschristmas

Birthdays are filled with magic! So put on a smile and forget all that's tragic. Look out and see the joys! Nature is full of wonderful toys! Experience the beauty of the colours around! This world is a miracle, enjoy the sights and sounds! Merry Xmas!!!

'Mr. Krampus, you did a lovely job #carving this year.'

'Thank you, my dear.'

'Hey, my piece is glowing.'

'That means you get to make a wish, Junior. You got Rudolph's nose.'

Due to the pandemic, and multiple thwarted Christmas plans over two years, doctors are noticing a strange new syndrome they’ve termed “Blue #Baubles ”. Symptoms include swelling of gift size, tenderness over video calls and bruised puddings. #vsschristmas

2/Stentorian uncles, cackling aunts, and yelping cousins are drowned out beneath my grandfather’s magical, weathered voice. Every word sounding like a smile, bathing my ears like #glitter .
“You love that old relic, pullin’ it out every time you’re here”

Hush the poverty of your Christmas past. You were always rich in hope and glory.

#vsschristmas #hush

The trees are angry with us for killing them. As I race through the woods to escape, #basket on arm, their branches lash out ripping my flesh, tearing my clothing. As a twig covers my mouth preventing my screaming, I'm pulled into the trunk for them to feed off my oxygen #vss365

This #Christmas may be the hardest of them all
The first #holiday without her, my grandmother
Nor seeing family
Thirty two years I never thought
There would be a dark Christmas
The #magic died for one day
My #birthday won't be the same either
#vssdiverse #vsschristmas #vss365

We were all concerned
Santa’s never late
Magic sleigh and reindeer
Cookies on a plate

Rumble on the roof
Deep burbling cough
Noise by the #fireplace
Something now seemed off

Tumbling through the hearth
Out onto the floor
A sickly man appeared
Santa was no more

#vssChristmas

They tell me
she's my #guide now,
my #angel .
I must be ungrateful then
for the supernatural
ways of the world.
For I
just want her
here.
