A Belated Christmas Story

thebadgerpiper

So, I hope no one minds, but I wrote a little Christmas story for my pipe blog as a gift for my readers. It's a bit of a change of pace, as all my other posts have been about pipe smoking and the pipe community. I've wanted to try my hand at some fiction, so I hope everyone gets some enjoyment out of it, even if I'm a few days late.

Wow thanks Greg! I did read the story and I loved it. I had to admit, while reading I could see this was a story you actually lived. Am I right?
Thanks again for sharing with us. Great stuff my friend.

Thanks for reading it @Londy3 ! I appreciate the compliments, too. The main character’s backstory isn’t based on my story, so I’m glad that it felt believable to you.

@motie2 @jfreedy @riobrusa @ghostsofpompeii Thank you for reading my story, and I'm glad all of you enjoyed it. Not sure where I'll go next for a fiction story, but with the feedback I've received, I'll definitely do more.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I forgot to post a notice about my two Santa stories on my blog earlier this month. The first was "Catching Up with Santa" and the second was "Santa Answers 10 Questions".

Of course you're more than welcome to add stuff here @PappyJoe . Thanks for sharing those, they were fun reads. I do hope you gave that fake news reporter some ethics for Christmas.
