As with previous untranslatable word challenges it is not necessary for you to use the actual word in your work only to embody the feelings conveyed. How you choose to illustrate that emotion is up to you all creative forms of expression are allowed.
The prompt will run through the holidays. I, however, am moving in December. I have sent Georgia 3 months worth of prompts for the Sunday Monday and Tuesday challenges that I host. My prompts will continue going same time, same place even though I might not be here. I will come in and read your entries as often as I can but there may be a delay, eventually though I will read them all just as I always have. Georgia and Jen will be helping me out but as it is the holidays for them as well please be patient.
If you are hosting any of the prompts and don’t believe you will be around during the holidays please email everyone ASAP so we can work it out.
If you would like to join MLMM and help with the holiday madness please comment below. You can also help out by reading and commenting to as many entries as possible, positive feedback is always appreciated XD
Good luck with the move — hoping all goes well — and goes smoothly!
Thank you Jen the beginning of the chaos starts tomorrow when we deal with the bank and make payments *shudders*
Ugh. The BEST part. NOT!
Well, my fingers are crossed!
Thanks XD

This looks like a delightful prompt! I’m still taking it a tad slow in the reading department but hope to catch up eventually. Hubby is actually home for a few days… And we just got back from brunch.
I too will be away for the last week of December though I will continue to attempt at least a daily piece and maybe a few prompts. – I’m going to a warm place – a much awaited vacation.
Yves and family,
Hope all goes well with the move. I wish I could help – as I have moved so many times that I’ve got the routine down pat. Though I haven’t moved in the last 20 or so years 😉 So best to you and your family in your new home, Yves.
And to all who participate here who celebrate any and everything this month –
All the best. And may we all have an auspicious and wonderful New Year!!
Thank you so much Jules for your kindness!
A box of salt and a loaf of bread for your new home … 🙂
Yes, that is what my Mother-in-law always tried to get for us as well as have us leave for the new owners. 🙂
Interesting! I don’t know where the tradition comes from though …

Though I am sure it is similar in different countries.
That would probably explain it … though my family for the most part came over from Germany one part of the family was originally from Bohemia and they were Jewish originally.
Jews adapted to many cultures, especially those that let the people live peacefully. Hard to tell where some traditions start.
True as did many peoples … probably an old celt tradition 😉
I remember reading a murder mystery set in ancient Greece and that Saturnalia might be the start of gift giving in winter.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturnalia
Saturnalia definitely probably had something to do with the giving of gifts in winter .. it certainly did for the Romans.
hmm… maybe my guy was a Roman detective.
I have the book upstairs…So I thought…
Ah here he is:

I read three books with him 🙂
Cool … I’ll have to look him up!
