Plan-4-Jan

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 365’rs,

Following on from the success of these challenges and despite the fact I complete my 365(6) challenge on the 1st Jan 2013, I would like to carry on and I enjoy doing these lists.

It could not be easier…
Simply Nominate your word to this forum post and it may be included. You can nominate as many words as you like and if you see a word you like, just add it again... (the more times a word is mentioned, the more chance it will be used).
I will then count up the number of times that a word has been added and the top 31 will be our list for Jan13.

Please Plan-4-Jan between now (26th) and the Mid-day Sunday (30th) for them to be included. If you have a word that you would like to see on a particular day, please nominate which day as well, for example: ‘New Year’ on the 1st?

Previous Challenges: September-List, October-List, November-List & Dec12

A couple of dates from me: (please suggest them again if you want them in the list).
21st - National Hugging Day
26th - Australia Day
and apparently the 13th is International Sceptics Day. But I find that hard to believe?

[Peter de Graaff]

Talk like a pirate day - September 19
Horses Birthday - August 1
ANZAC Day - April 25

The Chinese year 4710 begins on 23 January. This year will be the year of the dragon :)

[Mags ッ]

And of course there is Burn's night - 25th Jan.

The birthday of Scotland's most famous poet, Robert Burns (1759-1796), celebrated with great festivity by the Scots. Burns Suppers are traditional celebrations on this day.

Thank you Mags and Richard, we are looking for words for January Peter.

@boogie @brav @peterdegraaff

[Nicole Campbell]

You could do 'resolutions' for 1 Jan

[Kathy A]

@peterdegraaff very funny!

[Peter de Graaff]

@boogie @frida some hae meat

[Kate Doyle]

How's 'down under' for Australia Day? And something to recognise mid-summer in the southern hemisphere (late in the month): 'heat' or 'dry' or 'sun'

[Helen]

@boogie - Definitely something to do with Burns!

But I think you're wrong on the Chinese year - the year of the Dragon is the current year - runs from Jan 23rd 2012 to Feb 9 2013. Then it becomes the year of the Snake.

Ha ha ha, well done Kitti. they are all added to the list, if anyone wants to second, third, or forth any of these, please feel free to.
(Jan the 14th sound like fun)

@kittikat

Kitti suggestions all sound perfect to me ")

I tried one of these challenges and failed abysmally after a few days!
Maybe I will fare better in 2012.
I will enjoy looking at your pics though :)

[Jeff Walker]

Jan 21 - Dream (for Martin Luther King, Jr Day)

Last time I started on a word list challenge I got a week long get pushed challenge and that took me out of the words for a week, and once I missed a week, it lost its luster to try and go back.

[Lyn]

@gphelps5 @kittikat Heavenly days. . . you've given Graham carte blanche to DRESS UP Pig and Shit Head!! ;->

[👑 AnaZad]

I suggest:
Fork
Pillow
Smile
Carnation (January flower)

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

I don't need much help Lyn.

@lyno

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I'm thinking of doing a week of trees for January (not sure yet) but would like to nominate:
Tree or trees
snow
pet
scenic

[John W. Cundiff]

I enjoyed participating in December. I liked the suggestion of allowing opposites to include both hemispheres. Thank you for doing this list.

[Hazel A]
