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!
