Across the street from Seanhenge, a Christmas elf named Wolfram moved in at the beginning of December.
He has not yet been seen, but he writes regularly, and often traces of his highly varied nocturnal activities are unmistakable. |
The other day he was told in a letter that the writer's grandfather had cooked him a portion of rice, and ... |
. . . that she, the letter writer, hoped Wolfram would relish it. |
And yes, it did taste, Wolfram wrote, but asked for indulgence that unfortunately he did not quite manage to entirely eat the huge portion. |
I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.
Què tendre tot!.👼
ReplyDeleteMolt bones festes, Sean.
Aferradetes.
;-)
DeleteMerry Christmas, Paula.
Smiling. Thank you both.
ReplyDeleteI tell you, Sue, it's so exciting. ;-)
DeleteMy first reaction: how adorable!! On closer inspection, Wolfram appears to be rather laddish, what with his penchant for fast cars and neglect of the washing up after dinner, despite his kindly letter writing. But in the spirit of the Season, I shall give him the benefit of the doubt (for he has, after all, decorated his place most festively) and wish him and his loyal neighbours much continued merriment during his stay in the neighbourhood.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Signora Pipistrello, no fast car is safe from the little Joyrider, and washing-up seems not to be amongst his favourite pastimes, but he does seem to have his heart in the right place. Thinking about after Christmas, I do already start to miss him.
DeleteI hope the Christmas Elf is not a naughty Elf.
ReplyDeleteWell, a tiny bit naughty he is, but otherwise he wouldn't be an elf, would he?
DeleteHe left some over for manners, as people used to say.
ReplyDeleteYep. 'Anstandshäppchen' we do call it in German.
DeleteThe elf must make an impression that is appreciated by everyone.
ReplyDeleteWolfram certainly does, Bill. He's a great character.
