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!
It did and it was amazing! Thanks Mimi.
Good pre-emptive action.
Better than nothing! Thanks Sadje.
That’s true.
Haha you tease. I wanted a Merry Christmas from Rosey!
I’ll let her know Tannille!
Hope you had a great time at the market! Best wishes for Christmas and New Year Keith, look forward to seeing you in 2020! 🙂
Winchester Christmas Market was great thanks – last year I went to the one In Glasgow. Wishing you and yours all the best for Christmas and the year to come.
Orrabest, Keef!
An’ ‘choo buddy!
Have a lovely holiday!
…and to you, thanks so much.
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
Rochelle, you say the nicest thing! Busy few days ahead so I’m afraid another story is out!
Well you can always go crazy and write a story on Thursday 😉
Hope you enjoyed The Market!
It’s Thursday today and the market was fantastic, thank you. Shall I, shan’t I? That is the question!
Of course it is all up to you!
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
Froggie will be disappointed! Have a lovely Christmas Na’ama.
Well, tell Froggie I’m sorry (not sorry … ;))
Merry Christmas to you! 🙂
Enjoy shopping!
X’Mas wishes in advance!
Thank you so much
Christmas markets are great fun! I suspect several of us may get a late start next week. Merry Christmas, Keith 🙂
My favorite one in the Winchester Cathedral Close. Happy Christmas Linda.
Same to you! Cold here this morning, with a thin frosting of sparkly snow. Clear blue sky, sunshine, Very pretty 🙂
I know you’re having a fun time right now. Happy Holidays!
Fun fun fun! Cheers!
Enjoy the market – my kids used to love the surprise on the advent chocolate piece. Merry Christmas for next week.
I bet they did! Thank you and Happy Christmas.
Haha! I hope all your Christmas surprises are pleasant ones! Happy Christmas, Keith!
…and the same to you Penny!
Have fun at the market, Keith!
Thanks so much Liz
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!
Why didn’t I think of that!
I love Christmas markets and am going with the family tomorrow night. Hot chocolate, crepes, and more await. You wrote a nice festive piece! Happy holidays to you and yours, Keith!
There is something very special about them – enjoy!
have fun. you;re excused. 🙂
Thank you sir!
Enjoy your day at the market. Will Rosey be there?
Absolutely not! She came with me last year, and well, it was quite an adventure and not one I’d wish to repeat!
Popular girl then!
A wonderful modern take on the traditional story out of Luke. LOVED IT! Merry Christmas, Keith! Wishing you all the joy of the season!
Wishing you good Christmas
Lovely story. Happy Christmas, Keith.
