An Old Steemians Home Christmas Eve
This is a continuation of my friend @omra-sky 's hilarious story. Please click on the photo and give it a read. Be prepared to laugh! Merry Christmas @omra-sky! Thank you for the laughs!
It was a cloudy Christmas Eve at The Old Steemians Home. A soft glow was emanating from a window. Inside, a group of people were gathered, enjoying the peace...
"What's wrong with all of you?" demanded @Omra-sky as the Old Steemians sat by the Christmas tree, eating @Jeezzle 's cookies that he'd left out for 'visitors'. "Didn't you hear the thumps?"
@Simgirl paused in singing her carol as @Snook looked up from her redesign of Santa's workshop, smiled beatifically, and chirped "Nope!". Then she went back to lining up the candy cane conveyor belt as her sock puppet resumed the lovely song.
@Brisby tilted her head towards @Felt.Buzz, who was busy felting a beaver elf, "I've been at this window all night. I haven't seen anything." She looked down at Felt.Buzz's creation, "Have you ever made a squirrel?" she asked, smiling.
Omra-Sky stood, cookie in hand, "Let's look! You'll see! Reindeer bots leave prints in the snow."
The group rose grudgingly, not eager to leave the warmth of the living room. As they entered the hall, a loud Thump and Thud was heard from the back of the home. They all stopped, not moving an eyelash, ears perked and alert.
Clatter Jingle Thump
Quickly, the group rushed through to the kitchen. "Elf bots. It has to be elf bots." Omra-Sky muttered to @MarianneWest.
MarianneWest simply replied "ducks". He took that to be her prompt for the day.
As Jeezzle's hand touched the doorknob, the basement door flew open behind the group, startling them and making Snook swear, which set off a fit of giggles in Simgirl.
At the top of the basement stairs, @F3nix paused and then threw open his arms, "My friends! How good of you to visit me in the cellar! Long have I waited to show you my excellent collection of..." The door slammed shut in his face. MarianneWest's head shook and she pronounced, "Butterflies!"
Trip outside forgotten, the group returned to the living room. One by one, each stopped and gasped in the doorway. The additions to the room, and under the Christmas tree, left them all speechless.
From the corner of his eye, a bright flash from a window caught Omra-Sky's attention. He looked up at the silvery moon, saw the shadow of a sleigh and its rider, and whispered in wonder, "Santa Bot!"
This went longer than 5 minutes, but I didn't want to stop.

You perfectly portrayed this group of strange creatures called freewriters..Hence, I guess this story fully deserved the highest possible honor for a freewriter.. the purple squirrel in all its magnificence!

This is outstanding. I love that I have inspired spin-offs.
Now I want to see a new Netflix series: The Old Steemians Home
Merry Christmas to you!
Hmmmmm I wonder what this could be........... do you think @Brisby might know? :D
I have my stuff packed @snook! Oh, remember how I told you that my girls loved designing rooms in those free online games? Here's one of rooms that they made. I thought that you'd get a kick out of it.
They LOVE adding animals!
you REALLY should not have shown me this LOLLL what game is this????
Grrrrrrrrrr I have to run!!!! I'm going to be late!
The site is Girls Go Games. It's pretty much an online sticker book, but my girls love it and it's free! Here's a link to all of the different room "games" they have available. I hope you have fun!

Thank you! I'm so happy that you liked it! How does it feel to be an inspiration? I will totally watch the series as long as it has Robo Squirrel and an Old Steemian montage. Merry Christmas to you as well!
You know @brisby I think that we are producing an amount of fiction material .. it's freewrite 60 something and we already have the robo-squirrel and @omra-sky steemian old house (which resembles to me a mix btw X-Men school / Hogwarts / and a rehab) ..plus first or after I'd like to introduce the masonic toilets ..I wonder what will happen at freewrite 120 and on 😜
@f3nix: "steemian old house (which resembles to me a mix btw X-Men school / Hogwarts / and a rehab)"
LOL This is the perfect description! Hilarious! 😂 I'm glad I saw this. @brisby
..Mostly a rehab I'd say 🤣
