The Day After

by

in_your_purse.jpgHello everyone!

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, if you celebrate. If you don’t celebrate, I hope you had a lovely day off. Either way, I hope the time was filled with love, laughter, presents, and great food.

Given I had the Christmas message up yesterday, we missed our prompt. I’ll be posting the usual Tuesday prompt today along with a few extras, so be sure to check back in here a little later today.

For your prompt today you should have an easy time writing heaps.

Tell me about your Christmas! (If you don’t celebrate Christmas, talk about your other celebration experiences.)

Did you spend it alone relaxing or were you trying to manage a huge family gathering? What kind of presents did you give/receive? Did you have some fabulous food choices or was the turkey a bit dry? Were there any moments you’ll always remember or was it simply a nice day throughout? Did you have a fun holiday tradition to take part of this year?

Tell me about how your holiday(s) went for you and your loved ones. Be sure to include everything from sights and smells to tastes, moods, and the funny things your relatives do when they’re drunk.

While this is a good writing exercise, this is also a good way to preserve your memories. Time tends to make things a bit different than they actually were and also dulls the senses a bit, so it’s great to write while it’s still fresh in your mind.
