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?

Are you not aware that many of us here are older than Adam, and it doesn't work to play the age card around here?

Whether it's Merry Christmas or Happy Christmas; who the heck cares?

[mytreechange]

Does it seem to you that Happy Holidays is being pushed as the politically correct greeting, with no mention of Christmas at all?

Why do we copy Americanisms?

[mytreechange]

Is it because Americans are generally louder than anyone else?

[sandypebbles]

Is it because the elf-on-the-shelf is a two- pot screamer?  

[twyngwyn]

Or is it because the elf-on-the-shelf is an American book, encouraging kids to be overwhelmed by Santa's secret agent?

[mytreechange]

Am I easily confused, because I read on the internet that the elf-on-the-shelf was a Chinese spy, now I'm being told it is an American book?

[twyngwyn]

Am I wrong - what is true today, might be AI generated?

[mytreechange]

Can I believe that Santa reads every letter himself?
