The merry gentlefolk rested, and nothing--not even Black Friday or Cyber Monday--dismayed them. They knew the real meaning of Christmas. (139 characters)
This was a hard one. However, I decided to continue my theme from last week--a curse on Black Friday and its new sister, Cyber Monday. I figured the folks in the ground would know what we're really celebrating at Christmas.
A happy writing week to all. Thanks for the comments. I enjoy and appreciate each one!
What a terrific one for the day, Michael! We're on the same time frame again, I see! I love your taking a hit at those particular days! Marvelous one as always! Hope you've had a great weekend and have an equally great week coming up!

ReplyDeleteWriter's Week. How interesting. I think I'm not very creative with such things, but I ENJOY reading what others come up with.
Love what you say: Those in the ground will know what we're celebrating this Christmas. YES indeed!!
