Questions Only — the Christmas Edition

[countessalmirena]

Let’s try a new word game for the festive season.

The idea is to progress a scene or storyline, using questions only. We can only post one sentence per post, and it must be a question. Hopefully the scene can come to a natural conclusion with a funny ending, after a certain number of posts (let’s say between 10 and 20 questions… as a rough idea).

The person who finishes the scenario can then start the next “round” with a new scenario-starting question, and so on.

I envisage this lasting up to middle of January (hopefully), and then coming to an end as the Christmas season itself will have done.

(We can always start a non-Christmas edition in a new thread if this takes off.)

Please keep the scenarios to a Christmas theme, however vaguely or tenuously.

And we’re off!

Does Santa really give Christmas gifts to the reindeer?

[countessalmirena]

Or was it pocket spring mattress being used for both the kissing and the jumping?

[mytreechange]

Is that famous naughty list in Santa's pocket and, if so, are both Mummy's and Santa's names on it due to the kissing and jumping on spring mattress trampolines or any other bouncy surface?

[countessalmirena]

Wouldn’t the naughty list be a conflict of interest if Santa were both the compiler and an offender, and indeed, does this not raise the thorny question of the role of mistletoe in Yuletide kissing infractions?

[mytreechange]

Should mistletoe be a controlled substance, available only to those who can prove they are responsible adults, and should every household be required to keep a mistletoe antidote handy over the Christmas period?

[twyngwyn]

If we don't support all these traditions, will the karma fairy get us?

[countessalmirena]

Would that put the karma fairy on the naughty list, with punishment involving being tickled by Santa’s long white woolly beard?

[twyngwyn]

Wouldn't it be diabolical if Santa caught nits in his beard?

[mytreechange]

Does Santa (and his resident nits) know a tracker has been attached to his sleigh, and that his whereabouts will be broadcast around the world later tonight?

[twyngwyn]

Will I get into trouble if I send a drone up there with a can of surface spray?

[countessalmirena]

Does Santa have anti-drone missiles and a state-of-the-art spray-repelling Reindeer Overlord on board?
