Happy Holidays everyone, and welcome to the Holiday Hop!
During this magical time of year it is lovely to visit with dear ones, and make some new friends along the way. :) After your visit here, make sure you click the HOP BUTTON---------------------------------> and stop by and see other author's blogs for wonderful holiday prizes, fun contests, and of course some good reading.
I have two simple contests. Please answer questions in comments below:
1. If Santa had a back-up reindeer in case one needed a break, what would he or she be named, and-
2. If you could write the next Christmas or holiday classic, what would be the title, and briefly, what would it be about?
One winner will get a $25 Amazon card and the other a $25 Barnes and Nobel card. You can enter either contest or both! These two winners will then be put in a grand prize drawing for a KINDLE FIRE!
If you would like a copy of one of my books, 100 Unfortunate Days, the very dark memoir, The Moon is No Place for a Ghost, fun kid's book or short bloody story Absorbed, please tell me what title you prefer in the comments, and leave me your email address.
Have a delightful holiday and Happy Hopping!!

Question one:
ReplyDeleteHis name would be Randolf, it makes sense if you put it into the chant of names.
Dasher, Dancer,
Prancer, Vixen,
Comet, Cupid,
Donner, Blitzen,
Rudolf, RANDOLF :)
Question 2.
would be called Hairy Christmas. It would be about a group of easter bunnies who are sick of only being able to give chocolate and seek to take over Christmas.
Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Hop to you.

1. If Santa had a back-up reindeer in case one needed a break, what would he or she be named.
ReplyDeleteSanta's back-up reindeer would be Crasher.
2. If you could write the next Christmas or holiday classic, what would be the title, and briefly, what would it be about?
Title: Santa's 10th Reindeer
Crasher was born with astigmatism so she was always crashing in to things. Crasher refuses to wear thick glasses that fall off. One of Santa's elves saves the day with customized glasses that stay on and are fashionable.
P.S. I would love The Moon is No Place For a Ghost

ReplyDeleteThe name of the back up reinderr would be Hope. because without her all children would be sad without their present so she is their hope
As for the christmas classic: A small tree a small deed.

i would like to win a amazon gift card ( since i'm international that's the one i can use)
all the best
1 - Punkie =)
ReplyDelete2 - It would be called "By The Moonlit Fire" - It would be the story of how the lead male characters true love saved the lead character from heartbreak
I would love to review any of your books =)
Kate please post your email :)
ReplyDeleteSusan Ricci SAYS: Fritzey, a female, and the only female in the pack...
ReplyDelete"On Comet, on Cupid, (Oh Donner's on Fritzey)..." "Wait," shouts Fritzey. "Get the hell off me, Donner, you naughty boy! It's Christmas Eve and we have work to do!"
The story about Donner and Fritzey's often miscalculated, but everlasting mating, which produces 10 tiny reindeer, would be the next Holiday classic, but ONLY for grownups! ;-) Happy Holidays, cuz!
Susan Ricci ALSO says:
ReplyDeleteI would love a copy of anything you think I'd like to read, so...count me in!
Sue via Suewinz@aol.com
If Santa had a back-up reindeer it would be called Max, after the dog in the Grinch movie.
ReplyDeleteMy holiday classic would be "Holidays for Dummies" It would give suggestions on how to survive the holidays with your kids home and all the one on one time with family.
I would love a copy of The Moon is No Place For a Ghost

Santa's backup reindeer's name would be Control-S (get it??? HA! I kill myself!)
ReplyDeletemeghan_L_P at hotmail dot com
My famous Christmas Class would simply be title "Flurt"
ReplyDeleteThe story of farting elf and how she finds love and acceptance at the "south" pole :)
The back-up reindeer would be named Clyde.
ReplyDeleteA very noble reindeer, however his name just did not fit in the well known jingle.
This Christmas story would be about Clyde, the noble reindeer whom was beloved by all. The story would showcase his behind-the-scenes work and how one day he was able to help fly Santa's sleigh.
oops I forgot my email.

New reindeer: Nova
ReplyDeleteChristmas Story Title: Son of Santa
Hidden away in a dark North Pole dungeon, N. Dependent Claus, the only offspring of Santa and Jessica, plots his revenge. As a young boy, jealous of his father's love for his elves, N. Dependent locks three of the little people in a car crusher toy. When Santa accidentally finds them on Christmas Eve, the three elves are flat dead, so Santa sentences his son to life in prison. What N. finally does in an attempt to usurp his father's magic is the rest of the story.

Some great responses.
ReplyDelete1- Ralph. Nothing special behind it, but my wife and I were just discussing "A Christmas Story" and talking about how no one really names their child Ralph anymore (unless it's a family name).
2- The Story of Ralph. It can be kind of like Rudolph's story (in that Rudolph's story was about someone who doesn't fit in. Certainly Ralph would have a hard time just because of his name).
Hope you don't know anyone named Ralph who will be offended by this :)
Oh, and 100 Unfortunate Days, please. And I'll be sure to put up a review once I've read them.

The new reindeer is Priscilla. She wears a diamond collar that sparkles in the night. My story is called Mrs. Clause saves Christmas. When Santa gets ill, the elves help Santa's wife to get the toys delivered to all the children. Merry Christmas to all.

ReplyDeleteP.S. I would like to read your vampire book. It looks very interesting. Thanks again and Merry Christmas.
ReplyDelete1. New reindeer: Shika (it means deer in Japanese and I love that word:)
ReplyDeleteAnd I1m in for the amazon gift card.
Happy Holidays!

1.) Lil' Buckshot, the gangster reindeer.
ReplyDelete2.) In keeping with the new trend to rewrite old classics I'd have to say "It's A Wonderful Life Being a Zombie" George Bailey, thinking that everyone he loves will be better off if he is dead, he contemplates suicide, a devil named Clarence shows him a world where is the walking dead.
I'm entering for either GC.
I'd love a copy of "The Moon is no Place for a Ghost"

The back up reindeer would be Broke back reindeer
ReplyDeleteand the Christmas story would be about the Broke Back Reindeer being forced out of retirement due to economic hardships (you thought I was going somewhere else)
teressaoliver at gmail dot com
1.The Back up Reindeer would be named "Bull Pen"
ReplyDelete2.and the Christmas Story would be called "A Christmas Tale" in which two precocious kids in a liberal household decide to put on a biblical play to surprise everyone but not knowing much about the bible they pick Genesis Chapter 38 to stage and perform. This bible chapter involves a decidedly non-Christmas story about a woman who is cheated out of a marriage and has to pretend to be a temple prostitute in order to get her way. Last act of the story would involve dealing with the fallout.
Oh boy do I have my work cut out for me!
ReplyDeleteEveryone's ideas have been terrific so far and I know I am going to have a hard time choosing.
I will announce the winnners Dec. 27th.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Santas grandson falls in love with a elf. ;) But troubles brewing, for theres not enough toys for the good little girls and boys. The grandson and the elf, must rush orders to create enough toys, for every kid deserves some joy! Oh no! Do you see? Here comes the bad kiddies! They want the toys, especially the ones that make noise. Because even though they were naughty, there getting there toys and throwing Santa down the potty! Can the grandson and the elf save Santa and make enough toys? Or are they doomed to fail because of the naughty kids ploys?
Terrible, i know. lol But thats my best attempt. Hope i did that right. ;)
Merry Christmas!
Oh, and may i please have Absorbed? Thank you!

Happy Holidays to all!!
