The best Christmas gifts are those that can’t be bought in shops: warmth, friendship, a bit of love…
What I most want this Christmas is to be in Oliver Colors’ company. He has already invited me into his shadowy attic, and I will join him. We’ll bar the trap door and close the windows and make friends.
Other than that…
- Mother has been this year aware of my frequent allusions to the back-brush that I didn’t get last Christmas, and it’s likely that I will get it this year.
- Patricia said she will send me a post card from the UK via Paris. I entreated her to attach to it a lock of her hair, or at least an eyelash…
- Julie promised to send me a fancy photo for Christmas. I am certain it will be… unforgettable.
- Alarna promised to think about a suitable present for a faraway nephew. Aussie aunt, how about your fancy Kindle books with Pepi?
- Coco also said she will send me a present, but she is giddy, and probably has already forgotten her promise. Will you write me a poem, Elizabeth?
- Anna has stopped reading my blog a long time ago, but if by some miracle of Christmas she stumbles upon this post, she could show kindness by sending me her new novel via some of her crows. Or at least via email…
- The inky-haired woman won’t be sending me any presents this Christmas, but a hatted boy can’t have both immortality and love…
- If anyone else reading this wants to send me a present, please do! Deliver it to the shadowy attic of the yellow house on Writers’ Alley. Or use the Contact section.
I too have prepared a present for you all, an uninvisible one. I’ll send it Sunday.

Well, I hope at least Patricia comes through for you…and sends a lock of hair or an eyelash. 🙂 Merry Christmas, Hatted Boy!
Merry Christmas Carol Welsh!
I’m sending you an invisible gift. Now, don’t peek and don’t open it until Christmas morning.
Thank you!
Merry Christmas, hatted wonder-boy. May your every Christmas wish come true.
Merry Christmas Kip!
I´m going to send you good vibes. I´m not spoiling your surprise by saying this, you still don´t know what colour they are. Let me know when they arrive. xxx
This morning I was awoken by a pinch on my cheek!
Judy, was that your doing?
Jeeze. I told you I prefer to lurk in the corner. If I had to leave clever comments on everything I read, there’d be no time for writing. Merry xmas, VM.
I hope you and the girls are well! I’m not sure you ever get snow where you live.
I still want to read that novel of yours!
Traditionally, I’m allowed to open one present on Christmas eve, but since I am going away on holidays on that day, I could open it today. And what did I find… a black 1930’s style Trilby hat!! 🙂
I hope that you get your Christmas wishes and I wish you an amazing and un-frog-gettable Christmas! 🙂
Oh my! A Trilby hat?
Can you send it to me via Santa! Oh please please do!
Merry Christmas!
Shall the invisible gift be arriving Sunday, or you’re just sending it Sunday? I need to know when to listen or smell for it.
It has arrived!
It’s just what I wanted!!
Rambly wishes the hatted boy to find love for Christmas – if not from the inky -haired girl, then someone as equally perfect in his eyes. 🙂
Merry Christmas Vincent.
Thank you more than much!
Merry Christmas!
