Ok, I guess if you really think about the difference between a “carol” and a “song”, this …. well, this may not fit into either, but it makes me smile every time!

Christmas Writing Prompt #10 – Favourite Christmas Treat

Interesting question.  In the old days, I would have said stuffing and gravy, but we don’t have turkey at Christmas any more (too much for a small group…)  I don’t eat baked goods any more as I can’t eat gluten, but I do like the gingerbread cookies from the gluten free bakery.

Of course, if we are talking about things other than food, then I would have to say curling up in front of the fire with a good book and not worrying about doing ANYTHING!!  That’s what I’m looking forward to for the next 2 weeks anyway 🙂

Santa’s Grotto, eh?  Sounds a bit like something you would write a Movie of the Week about…

Oh, come on.  What else am I going to say?  Anywhere as long as Kevin, the kitties, and family and friends are there…  Man.  The sardonic side of me is fading into the annual Christmas sentimentality….

Ok, now you’re just trying to trick me.  I mean, I have friends and relatives who read this blog and anything I say is going to get me in trouble with someone.   I have to say though, the first Christmas Kevin and I were together, he got me roses…and wrapped them up and put them under the tree.  He thought they were dead when I unwrapped them, but his mom was able to help us revive them.  That was pretty special!

Christmas Writing Prompt #3 – Worst Present

Day 3 of the Christmas Writing Prompt (at https://ourrandomview.wordpress.com/2016/12/05/christmas-writing-prompt-3-worst-present/).

There are no worst presents.  I always believe that gifts are given with the best sentiments and that is what we should be thankful for.  Not the pink bunny suit our Aunt made for us,  or that thing we couldn’t figure out what to do with.

I considered being my usual sardonic self for this post, but some things happened today that have (while I am still being cautiously optimistic) made me feel hopeful for the near future.  And I am going to enjoy that feeling while I can!

Christmas Writing Prompt #2 – Hardest person to buy for

I am trying my hand at a couple of December/Christmas-lead-up challenges this year.  I just posted my first Christmas Countdown post, and now I am looking at the Christmas Writing Prompt (at https://ourrandomview.wordpress.com/2016/12/02/christmas-writing-prompt-2-hardest-person-to-buy-a-gift-for/).

So, for day two of this challenge,

writing-prompt-xmas-special-2-hardest-gift

Ok, that’s a hard one.  For one thing, I hate shopping.

I also, upon reflection, have found everyone hard to buy gifts for at one time or another.  Mainly because I try really hard to think of something that they would like to have, but not necessarily buy for themselves, and I often can’t think of that one special thing (perhaps if I started before December 15??).

Oh, and did I mention that I hate shopping?

I can tell you, I am not hard to buy for at all!  An Amazon gift card, a couple of bottles of Dark Matter, or a plate of bacon!  That’s all I want for Christmas 🙂
