Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 22-12-2016

Yay!

Another day off!

Which means, of course, that I’ll be happily doing … 

Well … 

Stuff.

Frankly?

I’ve sent cards out already: and started getting some back.

I’ve got presents wrapped: and handed to Santa for delivery.

Or Grandma, as Santa’s also known.

 Frankly … ?

That’s one less worry.

All I have to do?

Is sit around waiting for the loot to turn up.

Sorry.

For the Big Day to Arrive.

Ahem!
