Advent calendar day 7 - a Christmas carol ficlet

[ylla]

Poems worked so well as prompts earlier in the year that I decided to see what Christmas carols would do - there may be more, but this is the only one so far that has turned out actually Christmassy, so it will do for now!

I like the warm and gentle tone of this. I hope they have a splendid feast.

Thank you. I hope so too :)

Now the song is firmly stuck in my head and I will humm it on the way to the gym. You've brought the characters alive in this little ficlet which has the perfect gentle humour. :)

Aww, thank you :)

""They are commonly ground birds, I believe, but who knows what they might do in a song. Human characters sometimes act in the strangest fashion, so why not birds?""

Oh Stephen - always so practical, yet so reasonable!

What a lovely idea - but I hope they enjoy the eating rather than the collecting!

Happy Advent!

[ylla]

He is, isn't he!

Jack will enjoy the eating, and Stephen will enjoy telling him off, and then they will both be happy :)

Thank you.
