List of 25 Writing Exercise
Sometimes when I’m looking to get my brain going to write and I’m coming up dry, I write 1 - 25 in a vertical column on a sheet of paper and force myself to come up with 25 things on theme as quickly and with as little thought as I can. This works best when I write it out by hand.
Today’s prompt is 25 things that taste like Christmas to you. Feel free to draw on your families idiosyncrasies. Don’t try to decide whether it tastes like Christmas to anyone else.
If you don’t celebrate Christmas, try another holiday, or think about what you and your family maybe did while avoiding Christmas over saturation in the culture. Idk. Make the prompt your own.
I’ll list my 25 below, but I’d love it if other people added on with their Christmas Taste lists.

Yooooo Cali is making moves to get Dur Orange Fuhrer off our ballot!
Granted nothing will be set til the New Year/we see what happens with Colorado's version but nonetheless I'm so proud of my state!
Aha, so I saw. Apparently there are also lawsuits underway in 16 other states, which.... I'm still 100% sure we will have to endure another election with him (GOD WHY NO GOD PLEASE), but it sure would be FUCKING NICE if even a few of them worked, especially in purple states. Obviously he wasn't going to win CA or CO anyway, but. Yeah.

"Uh, lass? Halloween isn't for a good few more months-it's a little early for practical jokes like that!"
"It's not a joke, Pa," Randall sighed heavily-he should've anticipated this, in a way; that if they didn't immediately become alarmed over this revelation, that they wouldn't believe them, and instead think this was some sort of big joke. But that wasn't it-far from it, and he tried to hammer this in as he insisted, "Emily is telling the truth!"
"Randall..." June asked, tone wary and expression full of concern-it wasn't like her son to try and pull their leg like this, but surely, that had to be what it was, right? Surely he didn't really think they'd believe him when he said his girlfriend was a vampire?
And surely...he didn't really believe that himself, did he?
Sighing heavily, Randall looked around for a way to prove it, before gesturing to the mirror hanging on the wall by the front door; a little something for the Pace's to look into, make sure they looked nice before they headed off to work. Pointing it out, he sighed heavily, "Look, if you want proof...look into the mirror. You'll see me on the couch, but...you won't see her."
His parents exchanged concerned looks at this, and Randall sighed again, saying, "I know it sounds crazy, but please...we don't want to keep this a secret from you-Emily was very honest about it with me last night, and we decided earlier today that we'd be honest with you. Please, just...trust us. And trust us when we saw that Emily doesn't mean me any harm. I love her, and she loves me."
