Lair Bears Luminaire Presents: REINDEER GAMES!
Replies
Francine has settled into the routine at Squirrely's, and despite a developed dislike for meddling faeries, proudly prances out to set up the new puzzle board.
"Oh, how trivial," snarks a bored looking faerie in a fluffy candy striped tutu. She then lets out a yelp as Geranium's well aimed broom lifts her tutued rear in an arc, just missing the chandelier and heading out the door Ingrid happily holds ope,
"Good shot, Mama!" chitters Chester as Francine and Ingrid high five.

LOL--okay--you all get a freebie.
Francine, twirling in front of the last board, is happily helping to decorate for the upcoming Reindeer games party.
"I hope they like this last one!" she exclaims to Geranium and Ingrid.
"Oh,ya," Ingrid replies. "Dey vill. Ist good game."
"So much fun, I think," murmurs Geranium. "Except I'm stuck on number 8."
"I got it, Mamma!" Chester chirps, reaching up for a chestnut cookie.
Squirrely scratches his chin and smiles. "Yeah, they'll like this, but they'll like the party and the special prizes better."
He scratches his chin again and wonders if he's getting a rash from his Santa suit....."Ingrid, why don't you play Melody instead of my Santa?"
"Hah! I do dat only if you get in Anyu suit."
"It smells like mothballs!" Squirrely protests.
"So vat? Best offer I am making. Take or leave." Ingrid goes back to trimming a holly wreath, and Geranium runs giggling upstairs to get the suit and air it out.
