Wildly Inappropriate

[pennswoods]

As just about everyone knows, peppermint has a tendency to make toads rather uninhibited. This was unquestionably the case with Trevor, who couldn't help but be mortified when he recalled his first encounter with candy-canes.

He was certain that had he not over-indulged, he would never have been caught doing something so wildly inappropriate to the Christmas pudding.

Rating: G
Note: Who wouldn't want a cute little toad in their stocking for Christmas? This shall be on a number of the Christmas cards I'll be sending out. (It's not too late if you'd still like one, feel free to give me a shout.) chaeche wanted to see something Trevor-tastic, and coffee_n_cocoa inspired me with a prompt in which Trevor discovers candy canes.

What? You don't have a stocking? Is that because a giant spider might crawl inside it?

Lol, no! It's just not a big thing here. Some people do have them, but mostly we just put presents under the tree. Because it's a lot hotter here, there aren't a huge amount of houses with fireplaces, and the ones that do are often smaller than American fireplaces. Out of the 10 or so houses that I've lived in, only 2 had fireplaces and neither of those had a mantle to hang a stocking on. Aussie christmases are very different - we often eat seafood or have a barbeque, because it's just so damn hot at Christmas time.
