Christmas Challenge 2020

[alisanne]

Merry Ho-Ho everyone! It's once again time for our annual Christmas Challenge.

As in prior years, we will suspend future weekly challenges (the current one concludes next Sunday November 29) until the New Year. Instead, we will run our traditional drabble/ficlet/art Christmas challenge. And, as usual, the prompts are a mix of words, phrases and themes.

The table below contains thirty-one prompts. Your challenge is to write a drabble or ficlet or draw one picture for each prompt, and post one a day, starting Monday December 1.

If posting daily sounds too daunting, you can take part in the second challenge, which is to write one fic or draw one pic incorporating all 31 prompts.

Or do both! Or do some other combination that includes all 31. And for those of you who like to take on multiple challenges, feel free to combine our prompts with the ones at other prompt communities.

There's no pressure to play, though. If you want to continue to post once in a while, or only have time to do so, then take your pick of the prompts below to work with (more than one is fine too); we want everyone to have fun!

The word limit, as in previous years, is suspended (no minimum or maximum word count), so you don't have to keep to 100 words unless you really want to. The prompts need not be used in any particular order, and there's no need to state a team affiliation. Or, of course, you may draw art instead. We love art! Everyone loves art!

Any posts you make need to be tagged with christmas challenge 20.

And so, without further ado, here are the prompts:

1	Holiday Feast at Hogwarts	2	First Snow
3	Winter Solstice/Yule	4	Tinsel
5	Baking for the Holidays	6	Chestnuts
7	Angels	8	Giftwrapping
9	Fruitcake	10	Even the Giant Squid's in the Holiday Mood
11	Spiked Eggnog	12	First Christmas Together
13	Who threw Father Christmas into the Lake?	14	Carolling
15	Tree Trimming	16	Silver Bells
17	The Little Drummer Boy isn't that little	18	Mistletoe Kisses
19	Ice Skating	20	The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
21	Someone's the Grinchiest Grinch	22	Gingerbread
23	Playing Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer	24	Peppermint mochas and toffee nut lattes
25	Christmas (Figgy) Pudding	26	Boxing Day
27	Kittens vs Puppies!	28	Sleeping In
29	Snowed In	30	Mulled Wine
31	New Year's Resolutions

Is everything clear?

I shall post the 2020 wrap up post for the weekly team competition next Sunday and then you're off to the races!

Happy creating!
