🎄 Day 4 — Mrs. Claus’ Peppermint Boycott

Breaking: the queen of the kitchen said “no more candy-cane everything.”

Apparently a person can only smell peppermint for 300 consecutive years before she snaps. Honestly? I support women’s rights and women’s wrongs. 💅

🍬 Peppermint Burnout

Sugar cookies? Peppermint. Cocoa? Peppermint. Air freshener? Peppermint. The elves arrived to find a “flavor pause” sign on the pantry door and a bowl of plain marshmallows labeled “learn to cope.”

🧁 The Vanilla Uprising

Pastry team switched to vanilla bean and suddenly morale went up 12%. Jingles claims he can “taste peace.” Meanwhile, Pep insists peppermint is a “core brand pillar.” Sit down, Marketing.

☕ Cocoa Committee Statement

Emergency meeting concluded with a compromise: two peppermint days per week, max. Santa voted for seven. Mrs. Claus stared over her glasses until he “reconsidered.”

Anyway, if you notice fewer red-and-white sprinkles, thank Mrs. C for saving our noses—and my sanity.
