We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas  🎄🎅 

I just realized that this is Christmas eve, eve, eve, eve Wrap Up  

Now I'm sure not everyone is in the same boat, but due to Canada having Christmas and Boxing Day as stat holidays, we will work M, Tu, We, we will be off for 4 days straight if you don't work weekends! 😮 I know not everyone is so lucky  especially if you work in our much appreciated essential jobs, fire, police, paramedics, doctors, nurses, hospital workers, etc. there is so many of you , and our friends in retail that work so we can spend our money that we have or don't have. 

So, I guess my question is the obvious one... Any plans for the holidays? Family, friends, acquaintances. I have to admit that I'm a bit of a Ebeneezer Scrooge at Christmas time, or maybe the Grinch; I do put on a smile and do the family and friends things and hope others enjoy my company  , and carry on. Now what about you?

We had a big week this week in the sense that our last Special Event of the Year was released. The Prompt Team Event in their sophomore year had a 8 entries and the one common theme of the authors is that they really appreciated the challenge of writing outside their normal genres. So make sure you pop into the below links and check them out, leave a like or such, and pay the authors by leaving a comment! They will appreciate it  Thanks to the Prompt Team too!!
