"'Tis The Season To Be Murdered, Tra la la la la la la la la!"

Word up peeps. I have an idea, and hope I'm not speaking out of turn but . . . let's do a Christmas special! Starting December 1st, why don't we all make an effort to write something Christmassey, preferably one or two pieces with "Christmas" (or Hannuka or whatever) as the theme?

Specifically, why not do some serialization - this is the Season of Dickens in my head, after all. I'm thinking of doing an Advent Calendar, but it's just a few lines and words on paper at the moment; a list of things you find behind the little doors on advent calendars. There've been a few people wondering about themed pieces, so I say "let's do it" (pumps fist towards sky and assaults walls of Minas Tirith before recovering ).I've no idea how to do it, but I sort of fancy the idea of a few hundred (or even a hundred) word piece every day from Dec 1 to Dec 24. How it'd be organised is anyone's guess, but if they're short pieces there's no reason for not writing them as and when people feel like it. Stimulate some mental processes and all. It's a theme, and it's three weeks to get something down in.

We're many of us British, so I expect to see at least one or two nice ghost stories.
