For John’s challenge:

This Week’s Writer’s Workshop Prompts – December 5, 2024

***

1. Write a post based on the word distance.
2. Write a post in exactly 8 sentences.
3. Write a letter to Santa Claus, telling him whether you’ve been good or bad and what you want him to bring you for Christmas.
4. Tell us about something you learned in November.
5. After New Year’s Day, there are two months (or almost three, depending on how you count them) left of winter. What do you plan on doing to pass the time until spring?
6. List the worst pieces of advice you have ever received.

As for the prompts this time, no ideas come to me, so I’m going with #2 – write a post in 8 sentences. I suppose that can be on any subject? So, okay.

1. We still use those paper calendars that you hang on the wall each year with the pretty pictures.

2. This year I had one by my computer desk that had cute kittens on it.

3. I have another small calendar to set on the desk (or beside it) that has kittens on it too.

4. So every month I turn the page to the next month, and go awww at the cute picture.

5. It is now time for the December page, and wait a minute … something is wrong! ?

6. I look at all the little day squares and one is missing.

7. December 25 is gone … there is a hole in the page, partly semicircle cut, and the rest is just raggedly torn.

8. Why is there a hole, why is Christmas Day just gone, and the biggest question is WHAT DOES IT MEAN???!!!

***

I took a photo of the hole in the page (I did put a post it note paper behind it because that empty space just looked so wrong. If you want to, let me know what your best guess is as to why this happened.  🙂

Here’s the photo: December calendar page with  missing 25th (there’s a shadow on the edge though)
