Magic Bath

Here’s my contribution to Jenny Matlock’s meme, Saturday Centus. Not familiar with this themed writing exercise? Click on the Saturday Centus link above and find out all about it. And don’t forget to check out Jenny’s ...off on my tangent... She’s a wonderful writer. Please take time to read all the entries. You will find some very clever little stories.

This week's prompt is “The white-bearded fat man rolled through the church doors...”

Here is my little story:


The white-bearded fat man rolled through the church doors and tumbled like a red snowman all the way down to the feet of Baby Jesus. The preacher helped Santa to his feet and got a whif of what must have been rum.

“Welcome, Santa. What brings you to church on Christmas Eve when you have rounds to complete?”

The Schlottmans had egg nog instead of milk, and I’m afraid I overserved myself. Do you have any coffee?”

“We have Holy Water. Let me sprinkle your forehead and you’ll be good as new.”

“How’d it go?” asked the elves.

“I wanted coffee, but he gave me a bath. Let’s go.”

What a funny story! I love it! We all need to laugh a little.

I like the little autobiographical touch in it too! (=rum in the eggnog at Schlottmans') Very nice!

Hugs, Peace & Blessings,

Brilliant!

I am laughing like crazy here!

I always drink the 'virgin' eggnog...that stuff smells wicked potent.

I guess I better continue to avoid it!

Thanks for this wonderful story.

I am so enjoying reading these links on a chilly January 1st!
