Greetings, Bob, and welcome to writing.com!

Well, I must say you're the most creative and industrious writer here I've met in a while! How many days have you entered Writer's Cramp for now? I admire your energy and nimbleness; I usually can't squeak out a story within 24 hours unless my life depends on it *Rolling*

I discovered this by using the Random Read and Review button *Smile*

Ah, a cheerfully amusing holiday tale to get us in the spirit. I'm not usually a holiday fan,, but since arriving here I find myself writing at least one Santa story a year or so, according to whatever prompts are floating around. Kinda inevitable, I guess. You've gotten an early start.

The premise is amusing, although slightly confusing. What does IRM actually mean again? Because ERS Reference Meridian doesn't abbreviate to... And what does ERS mean? Too many abbreviations. Bringing Tinker Bell into the scene was a quick and easy and fun shortcut for convenient fairy dust, but I think an elf or two would have done just as well and been more predictable, though perhaps predictable would have been all too boring.

Also, I don't quite understand how Tinker Bell's inability to hide them would have made the meridian shift. If anything, I would assume they would avoid an area already having high traffic issues with flying reindeer (well, I guess only once a year doesn't count...)

At any rate, it was a fun read. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth dashing off a quick story for a quick prompt, day after day. When I first joined WdC, I eschewed prompts and thought I'd be working on some old projects I had. Well, turns out I love prompts. They give new life to the weird stuff already in my head and give me chances to win GPs and lovely ribbons *Delight* My favorites are the monthly ones.

Enjoy your time here! You look like you're having a lot of fun. Your energy is inspiring.

Take care, thanks for sharing and keep writing *Smile* *HeartT*
