24 Festive Tasks: Christmas

 Square Twenty-one




Book: Read a book whose protagonist is called Mary, Joseph (or Jesus, if that’s a commonly used name in your culture) or any variations of those names (e.g., Maria or Pepe), or a book with pines or fir trees on the cover, or a Christmas book.

Tied Up in Tinsel by Ngaio Marsh (read by Wanda McCaddon)  This was one of the possible December side reads for the Agatha Christie Centenary Celebration. Since I wasn't reading Envious Casca along with the rest of the group (I dislike the narrator so much I refuse to buy any of the Heyer mysteries that are read by her), I decided that I would read the second choice. Most enjoyable.

Task 1: Post a picture of a holiday decoration that is unique to your Christmas celebration and tell us about it.

Task 2: Modernize the three gifts given to Baby Jesus by the Magi. Instead of myrrh, frankincense, and gold – what would the Magi give as baby shower gifts in 2020-21?

Bonus Task #1: Christine PNW's untraditional family tradition for Christmas dinner is to gather around the fondue pot with her husband and children after spending the entire day in her pajamas and watching movies, playing video games or reading. Do you have any "untraditional" traditions for the day? Post a short text or a picture to tell your fellow players about them!

Bonus Task #2: Watch a favorite Christmas movie.
