HOLIDAY HELL-A-THON WEEK 5 AND FINAL RESULTS!!!!!

 WEEK 5 IS A SHORT ONE TO WRAP UP THE HOLIDAY HELL-A-THON.

  Only a couple entries to round out the month.  As always, I'm colour-coding each one for Team Santa, Team Krampus or Team Elf.  Following that, I'll have the final tally which will determine which team I ended up on for December.  Care to take a wild guess???

So there you have it.  No books got corn-pleted during this short week so for another week I ended up on Team Krampus.  And for the first week, nothing ended up in the Team Elf column!

But let's take a look at the box scores:

        Team Santa - 23 points

        Team Krampus - 37 points

        Team Elf - 5 points

Well, it was never really in any doubt, was it.  For the 2024 HOLIDAY HELL-A-THON, I ended up on TEAM KRAMPUS!!!

Wasn't even close, really - despite ol' Santa winning a week.  Still, this was a HELL of a lotta fun and I look forward to doing it again next year.  Thanks Kelsi!

HOLIDAY HELL-A-THON WEEK 4 RESULTS!!!!

 AND THEN CAME WEEK 4. 

The week of Christmas.  This time around I'm once again on Team Krampus.  I sense a pattern here.  Even though the naughty or nice prompts have nothing to do with being naughty or nice, I sure seem to end up on Team Krampus almost exclusively, don't I?  But there WAS an interesting development this week; instead of my weekly one book or movie appearing in the "Team Elf" column, this week I managed to place TWO in the Elf column.  As always, the belong books and movies will be colour-coded for Team Santa, Team Krampus and Team Elf.

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.
