… a crowd of holiday shoppers.
I have to exercise some imagination here because I try to get all my shopping done in November to avoid the crowds of holiday shoppers.
The cozy smells of cinnamon and baking bread wafting from the coffee shops taunt the strained faces and aggressive gestures of the shoppers, who push, stalk, and shove their way to their destinations. The Christmas carols blaring from hidden speakers also sing of a mood absent from the crowd it wraps in its cheery melodies. But, maybe, a few shoppers will escape the press of people, squeeze into a coffee shop, and let the tastes of the season remind them why they are doing what they are doing. Then the carols will feel as sweet as they sound.

I homeschool and my children and I are learning about the five senses in science. This would be a great way to incorporate writing with it. Thanks for the idea!!
It’s wonderful to hear about how the prompts inspire the writing of others. I love coming up with prompts and hope they are useful. Thank you!
