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

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

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  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  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  

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  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. 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 :

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:
