December is the mark of year end. 11 months gone. Sorrows, joys, smiles, tears, pain, success – you lived it all. Before these 11 months, you lived a lot many similar months.
Tell us about the special months. The challenge is to write about each month – all 12 of them in 12 different posts – either of this year, or of the past, or the future month you are awaiting for some reason – any thing, any form. The challenge lasts through out the month of December – Dec 1,2010 6:00 AM IST to Dec 31,2010 9:00 PM IST.
Hope to see you writing and sharing your memories and dreams with me.
Please leave your post links (in any order) in the comment section. I will be updating the page accordingly.

haha .. Snow is a pleasure to me ! 😀
Thank you Nimue for inviting me to this challenge. 🙂
I have decided to base my posts on a theme, which is on the various festivals celebrated across India, some lesser known ones as well.
Will surely do all the months on this theme itself. 🙂
Here is mine for January:

Somehow my November poem seems to have escaped the net: here it is again: http://vivinfrance.wordpress.com/2010/11/15/1189/
And April is here (wouldn’t it be nice) http://vivinfrance.wordpress.com/2010/12/09/april/
Oh how I wish it’d snow. But since it can’t, my imagination tries a hand..
Old bobsled in Christmas snow.. now thats the way to roll 😉
