The Ongoing Saga of the Snellville Snail

Snellville has issued an annual Christmas ornament for decades. This years' ornament has a snail on it. Not just any snail, but a snail decked out festively in a Santa hat and scarf thrown jauntily about his wee neck. The snail is set against an elegant background of snowflakes. I call him Snaily. He inspired me to share some of his adventures. Friends on  Facebook contributed some ideas for Snaily. Enjoy!

In case you want to read (or re-read if you are a masochist), here are the posts about The Ongoing Saga of the Snellville Snail,  in order.

Snaily Suicide rumors are just that, a source says
Wherein we learn the truth about suicide rumors circulating on social networking sites, Snaily considers retirement center options, and what does a snail wear beneath his kilt?

BREAKING NEWS
We received breaking news from the snail-wire that Snaily is about to be released from Eastside. He needs a ride or he'll never get home. Who will rescue our stout, hard-shelled hero? He owes a S-load of money to the hospital (and by 'S-load' we meant Shell Load). You need to wash your brain out with soap for what you were thinking right then. You worry me.

Snaily has family visit
Snaily has a visit from his foster family he hasn't seen in 30 years. They have a bit of a checkered past.

Snail ornament to be sold if Sunday Sales issue passes

Snaily's wife undertakes journey
In this thrilling continuation of our story, Snaily's wife Shelly undertakes a perilous trek through suburbia toward busy downtown Snellville to see Snaily's ornaments sell. But Shelly is hiding a deep dark secret, and an overwhelming fear keeps her on her...eh...um...toes? 

Snaily excited about send off, uses opportunity to diss yankees
In this, perhaps (?) our final episode about Snaily, we learn Snaily's real birth name and we are again reminded about just how stuck in the past he is. He's ornery, but still lovable somehow.
