HOLIDAY HELL-A-THON WEEK 2 RESULTS

 HERE WE ARE IN WEEK 2 AND THERE ARE SOME SURPRISES. 


First of all, after last week being firmly on Team Krampus, this week somehow I landed squarely on Team Santa!!!  Yeah, who'da thunk it???  Plus, I don't think that picture up there is really Santa; he looks a whole lot more like Cheeks to me!  But yep, I had more prompts fulfilled this week from the "Nice" list so it's Team Santa for me.  And also, like last week, I had one tie that made it to the Team Elf column!  So once again, you'll find the movies (and book) I read this week and they are colour-coded as to which team they fell on:  Team Santa, Team Krampus and Team Elf.

HOLIDAY HELL-A-THON WEEK 1 RESULTS

 AT THE END OF WEEK ONE, I find myself comfortably ensconced on Team Krampus. 


You're not really surprised now, are you???  Yeah, while the most prompts I fulfilled were from the "Naughty List", as you saw on the initial Holiday Hell-A-Thon post, they're not necessarily naughty OR nice but simply on one list or the other.  At the beginning of the week, it was Team Santa all the way with more prompts from the nice list but as the week progressed, the majority of prompts fulfilled were on the naughty list making my result for the first week on team Krampus.  I was surprised, however, that I DID manage to plop one prompts on Team Elf because the movie BLUE CHRISTMAS (my first movie watch of the month, in fact) fulfilled the same number of prompts on the Nice AND Naughty lists - making a tie therefore putting that movie in the Team Elf column.  But that was the only Team Elf for the month.  Obviously, it will probably be VERY difficult to tie a prompt and end up on Team Elf for the week (or the entire month, even) so I hold out very little hope of finishing up this month on Team Elf.  Ah, well.  These aren't really first world problems so much as North Pole problems, in my case.  But let us see, shall we, Rudolph's Round-Up of Deets for my first week of the Holiday Hell-A-Thon (colour-coded red if it ended up on Team Santa, Green if it ended up on Team Krampus and Blue if it ended up on Team Elf):
