Smells Like Christmas Spirit? I’m Afraid Not.

Light-the-way beacon or schnozzola cap?
Perhaps Rudolph was merely on to Dave.
(Confusey? Please to continue the read.)

WELCOME TO the happily-hosted-by-Grandma’s-Goulash Succinctly Yours, a perfectly wonderful meme that picks up where our dearly departed Microfiction Monday left off by asking the burning question:

How low can you go?

THE GIST: Use the photo provided by GG as inspiration for a story of 140 characters or 140 words. (It doesn’t have to be exactly 140, just not more.) Oh?! *nods an impressed head* You want an even BIGGER challenge?! Then incorporate the word of the week into your flash tale. This Monday's assignment is "diligent," which I chose to skip, since that smitch of the game is optional. <-–Whew! and thank God, because I don't need that kind o' preshah!

HERE’S
December 12th ’s picture
AND my story:


AS THEIR HEADS parted after having just put them my-nose-is-stinging-how-‘bout-yours urgently and brain-stormy together, Sheila and Corrine quietly nodded a “YES, we will be getting Dave the Axe Deodorant Body Spray for Christmas!” to each other. –37 words

FOUR WORDS of warning, aimed directly at Overhead “people,” Yuletidey or t’otherwise, come Santa Claus morning:

Even angels will fall.

Missed you all last go-round;
good to be back in the Succinctly Yours game-ly,
Queen of the Hyphens SparkleFarkle~~~~~*

Rest in peace, my Mollo and ZuZu.

Missed you too, Sparkle.
Those gifts would be a nice but very pointed hint by Sheila and Corrine. I hope Dave accepts it in good cheer.
The word didn't fit into my first thoughts either today.

Sounds like a good stocking stuffer. ;) I do wonder if he ran out of deodorant.

I was wondering why Dave was walking apart from the gals. Thanks for clue-ing me in, Sparkle. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle, as G.I. Joe was always wont to say.

Axe, really??? Can't the girls step it up a bit? Thanks for clearing up the mystery of the pic-tury.

Missed you too, Sparkle.

In this economy, getting Axe deodorant beats getting The Axe. Now that would really stink at Christmastime. :D

You're too funny, Sparkle.
Looks like you and I had similar word counts, but totally different takes on the prompt.
Good to be back myself and glad you're back, also.
