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):

HOLIDAY HELL-A-THON 2024

 OH FER CORN'S SAKE!!!  KELSI CORNS, THAT IS!!! 

Yeah, it's me participating in yet another Read-A-Thon/Watch-A-Thon -- this time for the Hols.  Kelsi from the Youtooberz channel SLIME AND SLASHERS is conducting another rather chill one called HOLIDAY HELL-A-THON and it couldn't be more laid back and low stress so I'm gonna do it.  What is this, my 5th a-thon of the year?!?!?!  Who knew I was a social butterfly participator???!!! 

This one is also kinda cool because the rules are different to every other a-thon I've participated in this year.  Instead of teams like OLD SCHOOL APRIL (Blue Barracudas, CHOMP CHOMP BITCHES!!!) which you choose at the beginning, HOLIDAY HELL-A-THON has teams all right but you don't choose them at the start; depending on which prompts you complete will determine which team you ultimately fall on.  Whuhhhh????  It's easy.  There are 
"Nice Prompts" and "Naughty Prompts" and there are a Santa's-Butt-Ton of them.  The cool thing is they aren't necessarily holiday related; one prompt is just "read or watch a title that begins with any letter from A to M".  You can choose to make it holiday themed or not depending on your prefs.  Then, depending on which list you fulfill a prompt from determines what column your point goes in.  So you basically read and watch (and do -- there is an "activities prompts" list also) whatever you were going to anyway and then see which prompts it fulfills.

There are columns for 3 teams.  If you fulfill a prompt from the "Nice Prompts", it goes in the column for "Team Santa".  If you fulfill a prompt from the "Naughty Prompts" list, your point goes in the column for "Team Krampus".  At the end of December, whichever column has the most points by the end of the year . . . that's what team you are on.  Oh, but then there's that THIRD team:  "Team Elf".  Now this elf is sneaky and trying to make her/his own team win.  How that happens is this:  because one book or movie can fulfill several different prompts on either naughty or nice lists, it could be a tie.  Equal prompts filled on the naughty list AND the nice list -- which means, if it's a tie, then you put the point in the "Team Elf" column. 

I actually kinda hope I end up on Team Elf at the end of the year but where you land is half the fun.  Here is the tracking list of the three teams which is empty now but I will fill in during December to keep track of where I am.  So I heartily urge you to pop on over to Kelsi's Slime and Slashers youtooberz channel where she has a video with all the rules and her discord if you wanna participate on there -- unless, of course, you're a grumpy ole Scrooge!:  

And finally, here are the prompts lists below:
