It is great to see some more writers joining our weekly silliness. Do spread the word. The more we read the better we write! In case you missed the last few last week they are HERE
Now for this week we are really getting into Christmas. I’m not going to be as prescriptive as I might be so don’t grumble! I want to to choose a favourite carol and re-write it with the theme of a Christmas Dinner. You have to tell your readers which carol it is and they have to be able to sing your version back to themselves. That means the right tempo and beat. You may not need 100 words but I’ll give you that many just in case! Generous aren’t I?!!
For those of you who have stumbled here unknowing what is going on, do read THIS which hopefully will make it clearer. If it doesn’t leave me a comment below and I’ll get right back to you!
The link will be open until midnight 19th December. Let’s get singing!

Julia, your link to the instructions isn’t there, and I know there are a couple of new people joining the carolers this week.
Ooh, I absolutely have to enter this one! Just let me put my Xmas elf thinking cap on for a bit…
Mine’s up but the linky isn’t yet so – http://midlifesinglemum.blogspot.com/2011/12/100-word-challeng-is-getting-into.html

Hi. I happened to click your link from Lucid Gypsy. I want to tell you that a few years ago, when my daughter was still in college, she and three other colleagues formed “all of 100.” It’s a challenge to produce a 100-word essay, poem, story, whatever. They published their first book when my daughter was in her junior year. It’s still continuing. Thought you might like to see what they are doing:

Have a good holiday celebration!
I think I may try this one!

I had a bit of a giggle when I looked at others. I never read other entries before submitting mine but maybe I should have this week? How many of us did a cooking trauma experience??

Hello Julia, I’ve had a go and linked up, see what you think (I’m number 23).
Cheers
I very much intend to try this one – these challenges are just fun and I plan to write the 100 words and then I have to figure out the techie part of joining the fun…
Because you have caught my fancy, I also tagged you in an award post – The Versatile Blogger award is yours for the accepting at http://mylifeincontradictions.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-turn-to-award-it-forward.html. Acceptance speech optional!
I found my way here through Limebird Writers and I love your blog! I did the challenge (but I picked a long song, so it’s over 100 words – I was having too much fun to stop!)
Here’s the link:
I’ll be back – I love that you do this!
