Please don’t burn me at the stake, but fruitcake is AMAZING  and an essential part of Christmas.

My dad wrote a paper about the origin of Christmas trees and how they aren’t actually pagan. December 24th is the feast of Adam and Eve, and this used to be celebrated with Paradise plays, or reenactments of the fall. The tree was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, hence the tradition of hanging balls on it, representing…[Read more]

I acted out the entire Narnia series with my dolls once.

I love that. XD

@keilah-h

I never cared much for dolls either. Just rubber ducks and stuffed animals. Crater Base sounds so fun. One of my sisters and I have an ongoing saga with 15 giant sparkly ducks, but it’s pretty much all romantic drama, and some almost dying.😂 And we’re also trying to take over the world with a duck army.

We had Catland…

@stephie

I had some fun creating a lovely, traumatic backstory.

Good times. XD

Honestly, I’m more worried about Kaladin.

Adolin Kholin

Why did I only just realize his name rhymes?

@hybridlore

You should! It’s soooo good!

@linus-smallprint

Wheel of Time is on my to read list. My characters are separated into groups/by themselves at the moment, but they are going to meet up at some point in the not so distant future. I think there are two together, and the other four are alone somewhere, but two of them will meet up shortly.

How does character B’s plot impact c…

@stephie

I still love role playing games, even though I don’t play them very often anymore.😂 Dollhouse, except it would catch fire, tea party, but the rubber duck’s little brothers would find a way to wreck it, new rubber ducks had to make perilous journeys to reach the other ones, a ridiculous amount of romantic drama…our toys have int…[Read more]

I have written my 400 words… prepare to defend yourselves…

@koshka

I’m tryna remember, lol… Um… We normally do with Thanksgiving since we have turkey, but on Christmas we only serve ham, so I don’t think we eat stuffing too. I might be remember wrong though. There’s a couple side dishes that change every year.

@koshka

Yeah, we normally have a more traditional dinner too (ham, green beans, mac ‘n’ cheese, potatoes, etc.). Dad likes to switch things up every now and then, but his side of the family (the one we normally celebrate Christmas with), likes to stick to the traditional meal. 😉

Ohhh, ok, that makes more sense now. I can totally see that bei…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Also congrats to Esther! I can’t wait to read her short story!!! I love Christmas stories! Who knows, maybe I will even read to my younger siblings!

(I still need to read 😅)

Aw, thanks!! 🤗 No rush at all! (If you don’t find time to read it, I will not be offended at all. :))

@theducktator @raxforge

You know you’re a writer when you are playing family, and you are the long lost cousin from Australia who was in jail for arson and wants to burn down the White House.

Me and my brother have two friends who are Australian and for some reason I can imagine one of them actually doing that. 🤣

@elishavet-pidyon

I am having mixed emotions right now…..

First off, I loved that scene!!! It was so sweeetttt!!! 😍

Second… FiVe SnOwBaLlS?!?! *humphs* *does the math* Oh, that’s only 250 words. 😅🤣

Not as bad as I thought, lollll

@theduckator

Oh no! That’s really hard. My dad quit his job some years back because it was too stressful and not a good job to keep. He was without a full-time job for nine months. But the whole time God provided for us in so many different ways! God will get you guys through this. I promise. 🫂 Praying for y’all! 🩷

Oh! Another tradition our family has is reading through an Advent devotional throughout the month of December. 🥰

@koshka

Random side note because I did recently find this out. Easter is mentioned in the KJV Bible (Acts 12:4), but it was an incorrect/imperfect translation. Most other translations use Passover.

Huh, interesting… I just looked that up in KJV and ESV and you’re right. 🤔 I’ve never noticed that before!

That’s awesome. A lot of people I know ea…

It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a Fisherprice nativity.😃
