Writing Prompt:
Make a list of the best or worst five childhood winter holiday memories.  Pick one and add a sensory detail to it (smell, taste, sound, touch, sight).  Then write for 10 minutes and post the results in the comments of this blog! 

For instance, I am going to write about getting in trouble for singing Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer on a tour bus in Florida.  My parents didn't think that was an appropriate thing a little Jewish girl to do!


Post your writing in the comments of this blog!  You could win a free class.  What comes to mind when I say, "childhood holiday memory?"
