It's Saturday Centus time again, and Jenny has definitely given our new prompt a Christmas twist. I'm adding a little twist of my own by adding my 100 words in verse this time. As always, the prompt is in red.

Santa Sees Red
What was he thinking? OMG!
Elves are so 2009.
I ordered Christmas detailing,
not funny valentine.
"Deck the sleigh with boughs of HOLLY,"
is distinctly what I said.
Now it's like a float!––with roses...
hearts and flowers 'round my head.
"Live a little! Change is good," he chirped.
"Let romance take the reins!"
(Next he'll have me trading
conversation hearts for candy canes.)
"He's in love," coos Mrs. Santa.
So what? We're in love ourselves.
Christmas should be Christmas,
not a platform for besotted elves!

Ha! This one had me laughing out loud. Those mischievous elves are up to no good...even if the Claus' really are in love!!
Cute. Sort of a Christmas Valentine twist! :)
Trust you to take the quirky road! Good job - cute verse!
After reading your post, I'm smiling. Well done!
Everyone loves a lover, embrace the feeling! The whole holly thing is so cliched.
This is hilariously creative, Sue. I am still laughing at reference to "funny Valentine."

dead man and his bottle of wine
Christmas romance seems to be in the air!
Well done.

Such a light hearted view of things! A Christmas with Heart!
oh, that was so cute!! And very clever. It makes me wish there were more to the story.
Too funny with besotted elves, Happy holidays to you and your famiy. Jenny does host some fun parties through the year and I do enjoy visiting all the different posts.
Brilliant, I love this :o)
Sweet one Sue.
Love at Christmas! Now that's the ticket! Sweet post,Sue.
Love this, Sue. What a great approach to all the Sweetness in life!
Merry Christmas..........cj
I would love to see this LOL. Poor Santa.
I am laughing out loud too! Too funny!
LOL! Well done! Very clever.
FUNNY! I don't like change either. Bring back the holly, you besotted elves! :)
Ha!!! You are too funny. Love it.
So funny Sue. I love the thoughts of little Mr & Mrs elves- and ones all twitterpated, decorating the sleigh like one would paint a water tower in the south- grand declarations of love!
I too laughed out loud at your take on this week's prompt...great job!
Different, as usual, but that is what your centus offerings are and that is why they are so good. Really did love this one!
Besotted elves! I like them. :)
Each post this time has been different....loved your poetic style and take....knew Santa was the romantic kind, what with his twinkling eyes... ;) Merry Christmas.
Really well done, Sue! Great take on the prompt! Merry Christmas!
Well done! And you wrote it in verse too.
Best wishes,

Awwww. I think you're just all mushy because of your Anniversary.
But whatever the reason, this was amazing. A difficult prompt, 100 words AND in rhyme.
Geez girl.
You just set a high bar for the rest of us.
Hope you're enjoying some after Christmas rest and relaxation!
LOL. Actually out loud. With a snort. In the coffee shop. Amazing! I hated that prompt, and you not only did a poem, with rhyme, and but it was great! I bow down to your supremacy!
