Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying the Halloween stories!

Now that it's November it's time for you to start your holiday story!  First things first. We're going to run this a little differently.  We'd like a list of those who plan to participate and when you might have the story completed.  The plan is to have scheduled days that an admin will tell you when to post the story.  This way we don't have a lot every day giving people time to read them and as it also will help us admins.  

Alright! Let's get started. Your challenege if you accept (please please accept!)  Is to write a winter/christmas/ whatever holiday fic using one or more of the following words.  (Admins reserve the right to post more in comments, so make sure you check out the comments occasionally)
