Miserable took it and began to giggle. She giggled so hard she had to sit in Alfred’s chair.
“Merry Christmas, Alfred. I’ve approved a 10% raise for you.”
Hope you all liked my own little variation of Scrooge.

That was fun! I was relieved for Alfred! :)
Certainly an unexpected twist in the story, and also a subtle, cautionary tale about the ill effects of eggnog, too. Excellent sentences!
I'm glad you enjoyed them Jemi.
It is a cautionary tale of eggnog, Jeffrey. I'm enjoying some right now. Non-alcoholic of course.
Thank you both for dropping back in and leaving a comment.

Wish I knew what eggnog tastes like. We don't drink it here.

Happy Holidays

Hi Misha, eggnog is yummy. It's a good reason to visit a northern country for Christmas.
Yes Jules, Alfred definitely did something.
