Two things I love—
1. Holidays
2. A Good Theme
Heck, some folks even BOGO these two concepts when
celebrating, in particular. For example, a party you attend could have a
holiday theme. Costume party. Ugly Christmas sweater gathering. Friendsgiving.
Or, consider the various themes which represent important
features of a particular holiday. My personal favorite being The Fourth of
July. Nothing says “Independence” or “Freedom” like cooking out on a hot grill,
sporting the team colors: red, white, and blue, firing off Roman candles until
the neighbors complain, all while sipping an ice cold Uncle Sam Addams. Am I
right?
I digress.
Anyway, while in the swing of the winter holidays, I would
like us to choose one theme for this season and write. This piece can be in the
style, form, or genre of your choosing. Maybe use one of the
words provided from the list
here to help you think. They are not themes necessarily, but may assist you
in discovering your idea for writing.
Enjoy.
And, Happy Holidays!
despite the folly
