These people know their Jingle Bells. Check 'em out: Happy Holidays my Lords and Ladies! Kweeny here, writing from the Winter Palace; it's so damn cold that I'm starting to feel like a regular old Ice Queen! I hope you are all keeping warm in whatever ways you know best, or for you southern folk -- well you all just suck. Enough with the stories of going to the beach and enjoying the warm weather, ok!? Thank you. Now then -- they say that this is the most wonderful time of the year. Well I want you to prove it, and we have a few challenges with which you may do so: Challenge A Let's be materialistic for a moment. What is the best present you've ever received? No, it doesn't have to be material and it doesn't have to be a Christmas present. But tell us about it. Who gave it to you? Why was it so wonderful? If it was a thing, do you still have and use it today? Challenge B A good ol' list for this one. Give us your top ten reasons why this is the most wonderful time of the year. Do it however you like, in words or pictures or stories or songs or poems or... Challenge C Write a bit of poetry or prose describing your favorite memory (or wish) from the season. Take some liberties with this one. Enjoy! Just copy and paste the code below into your weblog to link back to this site! It should come out looking exactly like the picture above. Tutorial here.
