Holidays, love them or hate them. A time for family and friends, not sure that observation will clarify your feelings. In any case that is the subject of this prompt.

Do you have a favorite holiday, write about it. Have one you hate, get rid of it. Have an idea for a new one, make it up. What if they held a lottery and the winner gets to remove an old holiday and add a new one. Pick the parts of holidays you like and mash them together.

Or aliens land and to join the galactic federation we need to follow their official holidays. Or do they not understand the concept of holidays, Try to explain that on holidays everyone stops working except those who provide the most basic health and safety services.

Or do you like magical worlds? A holiday to celebrate the developer of the magic wand. A time for spells and fooling the muddles out there. Too bad you can’t detect that magic spell. The dry pavement is as slippery as ice.

Get your thinking capon and come up with a plot.

Per usual, post your submission as a child page under the writing prompt page. Post comments and critiques to a particular sub as comments to that page.
