Day 24: Holiday Disasters!


So... In the winter solstice Shannon, I and our neck of the woods was hit with a powerful ice storm! No power. No heat. Large branches and breaking ice falling all around us. We countered with candles, pretzels and board games and Suzie helped us here - thank you so much, Suzie!!

We still have no phone, no Internet, but from my phone we thought we'd ask you to share a story, a tip or a strategy of a holiday disaster!

I can't access Mr Linky so please leave your link in the comments!

    Getting stuck in Singapore might have felt like a disaster at first, but I ended up having a fun adventure.

    I am very grateful we didn't end up in the hospital with food poisoning at Christmas last year:

    Posting from my phone is tricky! And I still can't figure out how to make comments go through from it, so I've snuck in my dad's office to use his computer. Here's me: http://www.kellybesecke.com/kickin-it-day-24-holiday-disaaters/
    And I wish Jamie and Shannon and everyone safe, cozy, warm, and happy!

    Not a Christmas disaster, but disastrous to my 10-year-old heart nonetheless! http://bunnykissd.blogspot.com/2013/12/kickin-it-old-skool-blog-thon-24.html

    Hoping things get back to normal for you soon. I almost feel guilty for my 46 degree weather. Here's my Christmas story:

    Thinking of holiday disasters... This happened here last Christmas Eve. Not a disaster for me, not directly anyway, but still a disaster..

    It seems I've averted a holiday "disaster" today, but I do have a fond memory of one from 31 years ago. :) Finally-- FINALLY-- really feeling the spirit today. Hallelujah! Merry Christmas Eve, guys. I hope you have a disaster free one, and if not, may it make a good story later on.

    Not a disaster, but using a challenge to create a new Christmas tradition.
