Ficlets

Christmas Spirit Challenge

What do I say? Challenge!

Here’s what you must do: write a ficlet about a country that you do not live in on Christmas spirit. What they do to celebrate Christmas, if they do at all. It will be a great way to discover other country’s beliefs and what they celebrate. Some country’s may not be much different than your own, but I challenge you ficleteers to take some chances! Pull out a map, and choose a country.

You may use whatever you would like for research. No, you don’t have to do a lot of research, but, in order to get the real idea of what that country does, you may need to do some.

Now, I don’t want this to be like a research paper. Remember folks, this is a short story. You don’t just have to name facts either. Different people celebrate Christmas different ways even if the main structure is the same. For instance, they could have special annual things they do, such as going to get a Christmas tree.

Keep in mind that Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or anything else is available, too.

Happy ficleting!
