twiglets

Those giant ants have shown scant disregard for the manic spirit of the season remaining almost aloof in a quiet corner of the kitchen. They prefer to hide out in a bag than show empathy with their menacing 1954 mutant post-nuclear Cold War cousins debuting in the film Them ! They're almost comatose.

Just you wait 'till Christmas day, I tell them, when they replace the twiglets in a vintage cut-glass dish placed on auntie Vera's nest of tables.
