. . . chuckled? Quipped? Uttered? Or perhaps Santa wasn’t having a good day, in which case, perhaps he grumbled? Complained? Muttered?

Like Santa and all his helpers, I’ve been pretty busy this week with all my holiday preparations, but I want to wish all my clients and blog followers a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwanza, Happy Festivus, Happy Day Off Work!
Whatever you celebrate, I hope you’ll check back next week for my gift to you: a terrific list of speech tags you can use when your characters speak.
Until then, have a happy, peaceful, and safe holiday!
