[Rainbowfox Ari]

Welcome, Trisphites, and Merry Meet! This time of the year is one of my favorites, and it's the season of giving, receiving, sweet thoughts and sweet treats. It's the time where the brotherhood of being alive is free and active, and there's just a sense of care and love in the air all around. In order to celebrate this season, I came up with a fun little thing. EVERYONE who participates will be able to get a little something [currency], as well as the warm fuzzy feeling of helping someone out.

And now, on to the list. There are TWENTY-FIVE items on this list, and you won't know what they are until you choose the number. Once the entire list is complete, I'll put up another. WHEN you do the thing under the number you chose, you will get your Thousand Grains of Sand [1000 of them - enough for a bundle]! And a thank you note from me. Rest assured, the things on this list are doable by anyone, at any income level, in any place. But if you feel unable to do your task, you are free to give it to someone else and choose another. ALSO keep in mind that if you've done an item on the list, you may not do another. One item per person, regardless. We want to spread the love far and wide, after all!

SO, without further ado: THE LIST

1."Seasons Greetings! Your task is to make someone's day by making something for them and delivering it. It could be a card, a cake, a sculpture, a stuffed animal - just anything you think that would bring a little sparkle to their lives. Be creative, and be warm - don't forget to wish them Happy Holidays!"

7."Who says the holidays need to be cold? Find someone who needs some warmth, and give it to them! Whether it is a warm scarf, a warm hug, or a warm mug of hot cocoa, spread a little of that love their way! This can be as simple as hugging your frazzled parent - or as complicated as giving your scarf away to a total stranger. Don't forget to wish them Happy Holidays!"

13."Nothing says the holidays like baked goods! Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to bake something festive. A holiday cake, peppermint bark, cookies, an old family recipe for scones - anything will do! Be sure to share your creation with friends and family, and spread some tasty cheer!"

15."Not everything for the Holidays has to deal with face-to-face meetings, greetings, and parties. There are quieter moments, times to think, reflect, and create. For this task, you are to make something representing the holidays. Could be a reindeer, could be a scarf, could be a dreidel, or even a holiday TARDIS if you like. You can use any medium you wish, so long as it's cheery and festive, and has something to do with the holidays!"

22."Happy Holidays to one and all! What better way to show your holiday spirit than by making cards for people to wish them the happiest! Your task here is to make anywhere between 4-8 cards for people and hand them out. They can be store-bought or handcrafted, but the messages must come from the heart. It can mean so much this holiday season to just receive a card with a gentle greeting. You could really make someone's day!"-

24."Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! One of the best parts of the holidays for a lot of people is the cold and the snow. It's just so calming to see flakes of white drifting down to settle gently on the ground, and the blanket of white is iconic for this season. Your task is to craft, cook, or cobble-together something snow-related! Make a snowglobe, bake snowball cookies, use coconut and decorate a gingerbread house! The possibilities are endless - but make it snowy!"

25."The sweetest thing you can give for the holidays is yourself. That being said, your task is to volunteer your time somewhere! Mop for your mother, offer to bake brownies for your brother, spend some time at the local food bank, lend a hand with your church, or help out your uncles. Spend some time GIVING your time to someone, near or far, family or stranger - that could be the greatest gift they truly, truly need."

Once you decide on a number, put it in this thread for me in BOLD, LARGE [4] font, with the phrase: "Make the Holidays Bright!" before it, or it does not count as a choice. Be aware, there are repeats in this list.

DO NOT break the law while completing these tasks. Once you've completed your REAL LIFE task, send Photo-proof, and you'll get your well-earned reward! ^^ Happy Holidays, and Spread the Cheer!
