Uggh, I typed in Satan originally. I guess it's a habit at this point!<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the challenge and the creations it inspired. Maybe I'll offer another one again next year, and we'll have more people submit to me ..

Tasteful and fun, and makes a soft point without getting all heavy and preachy.<br /><br />I wasn't sure where Caitlyn was going with hers, but then that line about never loving another woman . . . I didn't know whether to cry or smile or cheer. What a wonderfully happy holiday story!<br /><br />As for me . . . I'll gladly take my spankings, although I swear that was never my intent! I went through so many revisions of this, trying to tighten it up and fit the twist in, I somehow cut your line. I'm sorry.

Every year, she would challenge his insistence that Santa existed, identifying the lack of some specific piece of material evidence that she said she could accept as proof. Every year, Susan thought of something more difficult to fake but, every year, Fred would think of a way to meet the challenge. When Susan had been really little, eating cookies left out for Santa would keep her befuddled for about 11 months. One year, Fred had to climb onto the roof after Susan had gone to bed and make a racket with bells and a sack he had filled with a variety of household items. The year after that (a year when December in New York didn't see much snow), he had to leave "reindeer tracks" all over the yard. Then, Susan got old enough to talk about "testing hypotheses". "Daddy," Susan confronted her father, "you've always told me that it was Santa and not you granting my wishes every year. Well, I've thought of one that can't happen by coincidence and that you can't do for Santa or fake to fool me." She refused to say what she had asked Santa for and the mall Santa was no help. Fred was stumped. In the morning, he'd have to confess to his well-intentioned lies. When morning came, he heard Susan stomp down to the tree, shout "What the???", and then run back upstairs to barge into his room. "Oh, my gosh! He is real and these things really are gonna fit you!" Susan shrieked with glee. She upturned some giftbags "From: Santa", spilling a red sweater, knee-high boots, lingerie, a leather mini-skirt and other girlie items onto Fred's bed. Fred looked across the room to his mirror and saw a body that would, indeed, fit very nicely into the gifts from Santa. Fred just smiled, shook his head, and told his beautiful new reflection "Well, she's really done it this time!"<br /><br />fjAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-40711734489577839672020-12-15T01:46:13.589-05:002020-12-15T01:46:13.589-05:00I like Caitlyn's the best out of those 3, whic...I like Caitlyn's the best out of those 3, which is also an indirect compliment to you, Dee, as it reminds me a lot of your "Katie Mills and the Christmas Wish" of 2014, which I also really like and which made such an impression on me that I was able to find it again these years later. I like what those 2 caps have in common. I also like stories in which female ghosts inflict feminization on guys (the device that Caitlyn used in the cap above).<br /><br />fjAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
