Thanks, 13
Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
I have not read the other chapters and would love a recap.
If the other chapters are like this one... wow what a story!
This is uniquely written with whimsy and humor.
Your writing is creative and intriguing.
Thanks for sharing.

There are no more. This is just a treatment of the last line of The Twelve Days of Christmas using the made up holiday of Festivus. Thanks for giving it a look, KL.
Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Bill,
And now, for the feats of strength!
I've never eaten an oyster. It took me 3 years to start liking mussels more than clams! They were a huge hit when we went to PEI for a week in the summer almost every year.
Yul Brynner... loved his movie, "The Magnificent Seven", my favorite movie of all time! Watching him and Steve McQueen ride off into the sunset at the end. And both of them died battling cancer.
I knew that some people celebrate Christmas in July, but Festivus too? I love it! The airing of grievances!
"I've got a real problem with some of you people!!!"
Too hot for Snowmen~
Nicely penned, Bill!
Thanks for sharing. Good humor.
Cheers,
Kimbob

Comment from Mary Vigasin
Clever, creative, and funny. I never liked the 12 days of Christmas, so this would be a better substitute and one I would enjoy.
I have had only one night that could fit into a Festivus celebration. I woke up on the floor, and my dog was on the bed.
Take care and regards,
Mary

Thanks, Dolly. This may be an amalgamate of several, or just a bad dream.

Thank you, kahpot. This may have a smidge of autobiographical content. I have awakened in police presence.
Comment from Spitfire
A clever take on The Twelve Days of Christmas. Festivus apparently only has ten. Judging from the list this sounds like the way teenagers dress nowadays, at least the Goth ones. Love the last line. Wonder if police worry this odd creature has mental health issues!

They are probably certain of that.
Comment from nomi338
Sounds like the perfect beginning of a life that is going nowhere fast. While what he got may not have been that desirable, at least he got something. He could well have wakened naked, alone and hung over with a cop aiming his gun at his nether region.

Comment from Ric Myworld
ROFL! Well, those are ten days you're sure to have forgotten, or at least most of it. Now, just hope the policeman can fill in all the blanks. Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes surviving is over-rated.
Comment from Gloria ....
LOL, this is hilarious, especially the cake message, and even the cake itself, but it doesn't hold a candle to the rest of this zany winter Festivus. Seinfeld would be proud.
No wonder there was a policeman standing there.
Great stuff here, Bill. :))
