my dear comrades, ginger and buddy, have been participating in a wonderful game known as the ABC wednesday challenge. this delightfully stimulating project was conceptualized and brought into fruition by denise nesbitt and her creative team (otherwise known as the ABC team). the ABC wednesday challenge takes individuals on an orderly journey through the alphabet. each week, a successive letter is chosen, and participants create a blog post based on a word that starts with the letter of the week. if any of you find yourselves brimming with excitement over the unique possibilities that this game affords, kindly click on the icon above to learn more.
now as i had previously articulated, ginger and buddy have been participating in the ABC wednesday challenge. their posts have been simply exquisite and a joy to read! suspecting that i might find satisfaction in this challenge, ginger and buddy kindly invited me, asa, to partake in this week's installment. i gladly responded in the affirmative, and therefore, i present to you this week's letter -- C! the ABC team has advised us to celebrate C as well! being mindful of this instruction, i have elected that C should stand for my most favorite holiday. might you be able to surmise the answer? why, indeed, C is for CHRISTMAS!
a classic celebration of CHRISTMAS is comprised of copious customs that i cherish!
congregating in the company of your clan
choosing a christmas conifer
creating christmas cookies
consuming cider and cocoa
cuddling by candlelight or a cozy, crackling conflagration
caroling as a chorus while caravaning through the community
combing the city or countryside to consider the collections of colored lights
ah, CHRISTMAS, i shall commence counting down on the calendar until you come!

Wow, those cookies look great! I have had fun reading Ginger and Buddy's posts. Didn't realize I could play along, I think might join in next week!
Your Cute and Cuddly pal, Pip
Wow, Asa, I never stopped to Consider how many C's are contained within the Course of a Christmas Celebration. Some Churches hold a Cantata at that time, too. And of Course, being ecumenical we also Celebrate Chanukah here, although to be honest we don't usually spell it that way - but you Can! This is fun. I think I'll just play around in the Comments, since I have a hard time with Committing to a pawticlar post each week.
lotsa licks, Lola
Wow, that was really fun, Asa! I really liked all those words you came up with. But my favorite was cookie! And now I haves that old song, "C is for Cookie" in my head!
Mmmmmm....cookies...

Crikey! (How's that for a word that starts with "C"). Asa, you must be a geen-yus. Just reading that made our heads hurt. But, did somebody say "cookie"?

quite Commendable, Asa!!
I LOVED this Asa, so very creative you are!!! You did the letter "C" proud.
Christmas was always my favorite holiday too! I'm sure when I was a kid, it was becasue of all the goodies I knew we're under the tree with my name on them. But looking back, I loved it so much because it was the one day out of the year that my family actually made a point to be nice to each other for an entire day! That didn't happen so much the rest of the year.
Asa this is a great post - very Cool! And such great C's - we love Christmas!
Ooooooh, I saw dis overs at Buddy and Gingers.
You haves a such a wonderful take on C...who would haves ever known it coulve been so intresting. Dis was just awesome.
I wonders if my mum would likes a conifer fur hers birfday....OR sumptin ELSE dat starts withs a C...and it ain't homemade cookies...tee heee!

Sigh - Asa, oh Asa, we could listen to your melodious words for hours and hours...!
Our gotcha day is 5 days before Christmas so we absolutely love it! It marks our new life with our new huamns - yes, they were hard to train but we think we're making headway and they're not bad to live with!
We look forward to you 'D' post - if it stands for 'dapper' we hope we feature in it, he he he!! (Only kidding!!:) )

Mommy & I both wish it was Christmas time. It is just too hot here in Texas. I wish I had that snow here to roach in. It would be so refreashing.
