December Website Updates

December arrived with lots of cold and rainy weather on the Playground. Luckily, we have lots to keep us busy inside!

First, we welcome Aussie writer Annie West to the Sandbox where she dishes about everything from Alpha Heroes to the weather in Oz:

Then, head over to School, where the Playfriends share their holiday recipes in Study Hall: http://www.writingplayground.com/school.html#holiday09

Pop into the Library for a review of Honorary Playfriend Lynn Raye Harris's newest, CAVELLI'S LOST HEIR:

And don't forget that though the Clinic is still shuttered while Counselor Shelley becomes Dr. Shelley, all of her articles are still available in the Clinic archives. She has two articles to help you through the holidays and one to help make those New Year's Resolutions stick this time:

Things are busy on the Blog this month as well. We started the month with a week of guest bloggers --a big thank you to all of our guest bloggers for visiting this last week! Later, on 12/16, Melanie Milburne makes her first trip to the Playground. Our new "Theme Week" runs the 7th-11th, and as the holidays creep closer, it's not unlikely we'll be moved by that holiday spirit with contests and games and such.

The Playfriends have BIG, *BIG* plans for the new year. FAB plans. We're very excited. But we all must survive December first. On behalf of Angel, Smarty Pants, Instigator, the Playground Monitor, and Problem Child, thanks for a fantastic 2009. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, or whatever you choose to celebrate with your family and friends.
