A Christmas in letters

,

Has the silly season started?

I think it might have especially as I recently found a Christmas-themed word for every letter of the alphabet.

But before I share my A-Z of Christmas, I wish you happy holidays. After such a year, such an 18 months and more, we deserve it. Pour yourself a favourite drink, sit back, relax and dream about a Christmas in letters.

To begin, A is for Advent.

A Christmas in letters

A is for Advent

B is for birth

C is for carols or chimney

D: December 25, of course

E is for elves, very helpful

F: frankincense, fruitcake, Father Christmas, family, festive, Frosty the Snowman (now, I’m showing off!)

G is for Gingerbread

H: happy, holidays

I is for inn (where the story first began)

J is for Jolly

K: Kris Kringle (someone always forgets to buy one)

L:  lights, lords a leaping

M is for mistletoe

N: North Pole (Santa’s address)

 

O is for ornaments

P: pinecone, presents

Q: quince pie

R: Reindeer, Rudolph, of course

S: Scrooge, St Nicks, stocking, sled, snowman, sleigh, season’s greetings (more showing off!)

T: tinsel, tradition, tidings, tree, trimmings, turkey (it gets easier the further you go along the alphabet)

U: under the tree (that’s where the presents go)

V: Vixen

W: Workshop (Santa’s), wrapping paper, wreath, wise men

X is for Xmas

Y: yuletide

Z is for zzzz (even I think this is a stretch but the Scrabble dictionary identifies zzz as ‘an informal word for sleep’ and it comes so easily Christmas night)

And a final thought,

Happy tidings and to all, a good night.

Can humour work in a serious speech
Can humour work in a serious speech

Is humour appropriate to convey a serious message when writing a speech? Not always but sometimes, it’s the perfect choice.

When Sir Ken Robinson, in a TED talk, asked the audience to imagine Shakespeare as a seven-year-old child, they laughed and more importantly, they listened. He effectively used humour to convey a serious message, that schools ‘kill’ creativity.

JMP writing tip: first sentences

When you write a first sentence, or a first paragraph, it’s seldom perfect the first time.

Take the author Stephen King, for example. He said, “If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.”
