Zing and Zang had spent a great deal of time of Zerkon, being debriefed on their experiences on Earth. Now, they had returned to study what Earthlings called Christmas.
They were confused.
“What terrible crime did these poor things commit?” said Zing.
“What an awful tradition! I thought their Christmas was a time of joy and love. Not for these poor creatures!”
Hearing footsteps, they blinked to invisibility.
A kind-looking woman squeezed each toy, decided they were dry, and took them down. “Tommy will be happy to have you back,” she said.
Zing and Zang felt a little sheepish.
Just Writing! 
Lovely to see the alien pair back again

Tommy? These must be the same stuffed toys from my story. I guess they didn’t see Zing and Zang.

Zing and Zang are funny, they remind me of many comedian pairs. I would have loved to see how they would have reacted to slap stick

Z & Z were part right. They should see what we do to pigs and turkeys. Cute story though.

I just watched the movie “Babe” the other day. I’d forgotten how upset Babe was when the nasty cat told him that all he was good for was to be eaten!

Babe caused a down turn pork sakes for several years. Life is cruel. But even if we humans stopped eating meat, my cats still need to eat.

It’s fun to think of how outsiders would view our customs. I love the ZIng & Zang perspective. That definitely looks like torture.
