(Awwwwwwww. What an adorable future psychiatric patient!)
Ho-Ho-Holy tinsel, here we go again. Welcome to the 7th Anti Wordbank contest (Special Christmas Edition). And yes this is the original Anti Wordbank contest series. (Can you believe that? Appears I have a following now!)
Now, for those of you who haven't entered an Anti Wordbank contest before, here are the normal rules:
"The concept is simple. Write me a poem WITHOUT using any of the words in the anti-wordbank. If you use any of the words in the body of your work or in the title, you will be disqualified. Have fun, be original, and remember: Don't use any of the wordbank words."
Alright, now for the special Xmas Edition rule: Your poem must be about Christmas.
Sounds easy right? Wrong. I'm giving away extra points this contest so it's going to be a challenge.
Now for the words:
(remember, don't use these words!)
Angel
Carol
Chimney
Christmas (didn't see that coming did ya?)
Cookies
Elf
Gift
Green
Light
Milk
Mistletoe
Present
Red
Reindeer (oh god help you if you use reindeer!)
Santa
Sleigh
Snow
Star
Stocking
Tinsel
Tree
White
Wonderland
Wrapping
Xmas
Please check your spelling. Please make your entry at least 10 lines long. No cap on maximum lines.
I'm having this contest close on the 26th so I can be sure to get a bit of that Xmas angst in your works. Humor is smiled upon, but please don't be vulgar.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good write.

Thus the challenge of the anti word bank contest. Note, there are quite a few words that aren't on the list. Like Present is but toy is not.

Thanks for the invite.
I have just some small suggestion I was even going to make before, but then I forgot about it...
If the anti-words were in alphabetical order, it would be a lot easier to see which words can/cannot be used.
All the best with this, and thanks for keeping up the Anti Word Bank series!

Done and done. Thank you for the suggestion, that should make checking for words a bit easier.
