On the 8th day of Christmas, by true love gave to meeeeee, divorce papers!!! 😮 :o :o 

Well, that isn't how the song goes 0:) But if any of you do get divorce papers on Sunday, I am so sorry :( :hug: 

To tell the truth, all I can remember from that song is the five golden rings, two turtle doves and a penguin in a pear tree :P This shall lead into the question of the week! Hmmm, do I have a question of the week every week? So rather than just asking what your favourite Christmas song is, I want to know what is your favourite Christmas song that you know word for word :P Jingle Bells only counts if you know all the verses ;) If you feel up to it, sing out the words to your song below in your reply. FYI, I won't be putting anything down. I'm a one or two verse kinda guy :gikkle: 

We had another very busy week here at the GA News Blog. I think I will be asking @Myr for a Christmas bonus this year :yes: A bonus of 2% of $0 is what? Any accountants out there that can let me know how much I will get? :) 

Monday. Well Monday I messed up :( I tried to replace @Timothy M. and do the layout of this months Review Team's Feature Story. I failed.:facepalm: I did apologize to @Mancunian for misspelling one of the main characters name in the blog title and story title as well. Shameful. At least @spike382 gave a great review. Make sure you check this story out. I read it before doing the blog and it is a really nice short story:

Tuesday, @Myr took over the blog and guess what? He did it right :gikkle::

Thursday was 18th episode of the Author Guess Who by @astone2292. I got my guess in, kind of, do you?

Looks like on Friday, our resident penguin, @Valkyrie, took the prompt team another step towards the holidays:

Finally on Saturday, we got our weekly treat from @Comicality with another Writing Article:

 

 

Here is the words of the week :):

easement, neptunium, retrench, indefatigable, machete, perishable, mewl

@wildone Steve, I have the answer to your question.  Two-percent of $0 is a pink slip or a chained space in a dungeon, whichever @Myr chooses for you.

@wildone you can safely take it that you have been forgiven for Monday's error, Aunt May's Magic received a lot of favourable attention following the blog entry. After speaking with Aunt May she has asked me to pass on a message to you. Should you suffer either of the fates that @Bill W has predicted there will be a ticket for a meal on the 'Friendship Menu' board reserved just for you if you can get to the cafe, lol.

I want to know what is your favourite Christmas song that you know word for word.

I already answered that in Val's prompt blog.

And yes, word for word, including the bad words. :P

Every year, it's different one.  The depressing Christmas Shoes, Springsteen's Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Christmas Wrapping, All I Want for Christmas is You (back in the 90s...it's overplayed these days), Last Christmas, Where Are you Christmas, etc.

This year. Why, it's:
