For Friday Fictioneers on a Tuesday!
I love surprises, especially this time of year! A Christmas card lands on my mat. I rip open the envelope wondering what it will be like. Santa, a snow scene, baby Jesus?
It’s the big day next Wednesday. What presents will I get? Something to wear, drink, read?
All Wednesdays are fun. Get up, shower, make coffee then fire up the computer. My finger hovers over the keyboard wondering what Rochelle’s picture prompt will be! A place, a person, an animal?
It’s Wednesday tomorrow but I won’t be around to write a story, I’ll be at a Christmas Market. So you’ll have to make do with this!
Happy Christmas!
Thank you, Rochelle, for hosting Friday Fictioneers.
Kiss the frog to join in the fun!
May the market hold many nice surprises in store for you!

Dear Keith,
I hope the Christmas market goes well for you. Only you could announce your impending absence with such a flair. Of course you know you have until Tuesday to post a story for the prompt. 😉
Shalom,
Rochelle

Ha! Love this!! I think you’d schedule that ahead of time – but mistletoe or not, I’m not kissing no frogs. Princes (well certain kinds of princes…) may be another matter altogether … 😉
Merry Christmas Market to you! 🙂 Na’ama

Maybe there was a gazebo at the market? Not sure why there would be, but if there was, you could legitimately put the picture back in!
