Intermezzo Prompts December 10, 2021

Santas are all around you, wherever you look. Maybe you need a break to become inspired? PT#5 Write a short story or vignette using at least five words from @myr’s word of the day list.   Or you can’t get enough of beards, bellies, and bells and you want to throw yourself head-first into the hustle and bustle.
