I've taken a mini-break from my usual web-related activities recently, and got to stretch my creative legs with a bit of humorous storytelling.

Here's the Christmas story/poem I wrote with my sister called A Mince Pie Too Many (http://fofwebdesign.co.uk/template/_writing/a-mince-pie-too-many/)

There's a token bit of scripting in there to craftily link it in to web-world; Santa's sleigh moves along the bottom of the screen to show how far down the page you've read (a JavaScript progress bar) ;)

Hope you find some amusement in it. There's a PDF download that fits on to 2 sides of paper - convenient for printing 1 sheet double-sided and slipping in to a Christmas card!

Enjoy!

A classic of English literature!

Ha, ha - not quite but I'll pass on the feedback to my sister:)

Let me know if you want any help getting rid of that horizontal sleigh bar. ;)

I wondered what that dirty smudge across the screen was... LOL

That was a pretty enjoyable read, Beverley. You've got some writing chops! What else have you written?
