I know we don’t celebrate Christmas, but most of our customers do which is why I said we should take advantage of it. I’ve added turkey sandwiches, mince pies, mulled wine and a few other festive nibbles to the menu. I’ve ordered some bits and pieces that would make nice presents, bracelets necklaces and things, and cleared a place for them over there.
All I asked you to do was put up a few decorations. I didn’t expect you take it that literally though, I mean, six little stars dangling from the ceiling?
You could at least have hung up ten!

Dear Keith,
I didn’t even notice the stars and I took the picture. 😀 Cute story. One word over…tut tut. Seriously not much of an infraction and cute story besides.
Shalom,
Rochelle
It’s all in the detail! Thanks, Rochelle.
Hilarious!!
Thanks, Beth!
A tale of two ambitions
That’s true! Thanks, Neil.
Very perceptive! I missed the stars entirely!
You didn’t miss much, Jodi!
Cute story my friend.
I’m pleased you liked it, Sadje, thank you.
You’re most welcome 🙏🏼
You have a very sharp eye Keith – missed the stars completely – great story 😄🙌
Thanks, Ange, I always try to find the less obvious!
🙌
Awesome! I love your attention to detail in the prompt photo Keith. You had me counting the stars…!
As soon as I saw them I started wishing upon them, then down came a story!
Most excellent!
very fun twist with the 10 vs the 7 stars – and K, this really hit home because many a years we stopped at an Opened Walgreens on Christmas – or other store because we needed this or that – and I was glad some places were “open for business” like your smart business owenrs were in this story.
It’s good to know not everything’s closed! I’m pleased it stirred some memories, Yvette.
😉
She’s right! So funny, Keith. Mrs. Klaus vs. Scrooge.
Haha, I like that, Lisa, perfect names!
🙂
Some people do the bare minimum. Nice story!
Minimalism is quite trendy these days! Thanks, Mini.
Funny story, Keith. Some people are allergic to decorations.
I suppose they are, not me though, I go way over the top with mine!
Well observed. Tomorrow, there will be ten more starts.
Thanks, James. Soon they’ll be shooting everywhere!
Delightful story ~ you are so creative ~ hugs,

What a kind thing to say, thank you Carol.
They were minimalists! Nicely done!!
Minimalists to the minimum degree! As for coffee, cake and stuff, I can only imagine how small their portions must be!
Now that is more tragic than the decorations!
One star for each of the six wise men? Seems appropriate.
(Next week we’re counting words.)
A wise shopkeeper, at least one of the pair. A cute festive story, Keith. 🙂
Excellently done, Keith…. still smiling!
Funny story as usually, thanks for the laugh.
I never saw the stars. Good eye!
i suppose it isn’t too much to ask. i’m sure there are 9 other stars around waiting for their chance to shine. 🙂
Good help is so hard to find! Clever story, dear Keith.
