Miracle Myx Ho!

.
"He's covering my name," Myx said.

"Hmmm?"

"Santa has his left index finger over my name. How are our viewers supposed to know it's me there?"

"Maybe by the name of the blog and the banner at the top of the web page," I said.

"Still, it would have been nice to get my whole cover."

"You don't see me complaining about ... hey, Santa's covering up my name at the bottom of the book," I said. "And--I don't have my name anywhere on this blog. Diotalevi ... Diotalevi ... Diotalevi. There!"

"And you call me immature," Myx said.

"Your point being ...? Still it was good of Santa to endorse MIRACLE MYX."

"Yeah, if he likes it, everybody should." Myx tried to sound convincing.

"Think anyone believes that?"

"A boy can hope." Myx grinned that grin.

Santa's Favorite Book!

Miracle Myx Is Grinched

.
"You two are just alike," I said.

"Green?" Myx asked just to get me to expound.

I found the Grinch outside of Stella Dieci--waving and beckoning passersby out of the frigid cold into the warmth of the luxurious spa. He grabbed my book and did a strange, rhythmic dance with it.

"I don't think I've seen you wearing green yet. You tend to wear mostly the same colors."

"Wearing the same colors saves me time," Myx explained.

"Since you never sleep, isn't time one of the things you don't have to worry about?"

Myx Amens, since a certain incident explained in MIRACLE MYX, hasn't slept in over three years. He fills his hours with many interesting, and some would judge, rather questionable activities.

"Let's say it gives me more time for other things," Myx said. Was that a smile?

"Those other things were what I was talking about. The Grinch sneaked into the Whos' houses and took stuff."

"Hmmm. Maybe we are alike in some ways."

Miracle Myx Merry Christmas!

"Myx, I think there's only one thing that we have to say today."

"I'm kind of like Santa, because I visit people's homes when they're not looking and I definitely know who's been naughty or nice," Myx said.

"Myx, we rehearsed this and you promised to cooperate." I should have known better.

"Okay, Dave--together on three: one, two, THREE--"

"MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!"
