Days remaining: 14, 19, 26, 29

From now till 11.59pm EST on Friday 29th Nov, I need people to come up with prompts to fill in the days. Just pick any day (say... Dec 9th) and assign a prompt to it. Everyone is allowed 1 PROMPT EACH. If there are still days available after the deadline, I'll extend it or open more prompts to members.

Now here's where I put in a little twist. The prompt must fit the season. That is, it needs to be slightly themed for either: Christmas, New Year's, Winter Solstice, Hanukkah, or whatever festival (major ones) is on during Dec.

Prompts can be anything: a word, a phrase, a sentence, a song title or lyric - as long as people can use it in Fic, Art, Photocomic and/or Icon to capture the essence of the prompt.

Be creative with your prompts. Sure, you can submit traditional stuff like "snow" or "santa claus" but they're very generic, vague and overdone. Be creative, think outside the box and make your prompts challenging.

You can come up with prompts on your own or bring back prompts from previous challenges as long as they fit the season. Yes, Christmas in the Tropics, Summer Christmas also count.

Claiming will begin as soon as all 31 days are filled. So start contributing your prompt now. Just leave a comment in the entry with the day and the prompt, like so: 13. "Sleep in heavenly peace".
