Merry Christmas! InMon’s coming early today – it’s Christmas Eve, after all, I’ve still got another batch of fudge and a cheese ball to make, plus parties and deliveries and relatives and the like to prepare for. But, um. It’s six o’clock somewhere?
Oh yeah – I finally made gingerbread men yesterday.
That’s a lemon glaze with green food coloring drizzled on top. I didn’t feel like going the whole nine yards decorating them.
If there are any other InMon pieces I missed (like ones you post in the next few hours), I’ll try to get to them later today, but it might not be for a few days. Sorry! Have a great Christmas –

Okay; write 200-500 words on the prompt of your choice. You may either use the prompt as the title of your piece or work it into the body of your piece. You must complete it before 6 pm CST on the Monday following this post.
The Prompts:

Oooo, your gingerbread men look like they are made of clay or marble. They should have “emet ” written on their foreheads. …Or maybe not. Animated gingerbread golems sound more than a little scary.
Wow – what I thought was decorating laziness was actually a sophisticated metaphor. When we eat them, we could bite off the first letter first, symbolically killing them. Then say, “ashes to ashes, dough to dust.”
Leave it to me to make random connections. 😉
from dough we come, and to dough we shall return!
Amen.
Oh, and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas back!
Merry Christmas!
Back at you!
The gingerbread men look good!
Merry Christmas! 🙂
They’re quite tasty – thanks and you, too!

Looks delicious! Merry Christmas!
They are! You too! Merry Christmas to you too, I mean. I don’t know if you are delicious. I’m not a cannibal, I swear! I wonder if aliens would find it alarming that so many of our confections are human-shaped. It’s like Valentine’s reaction to bunny slippers in Mirror Mask – what kind of a sick joke is that, crushing cute little bunnies with every step?
