December 2018 challenge: Remember December

[ChickPea]

We're a little short-staffed in the CL department at the mo, so this is a day or two late going up. Apologies for that. Given the slightly shorter time period, and the fact that December is a busy month for many people, we're going with something pretty open.

If I say 'December', what pops into your mind? Is it Christmas and Santa? Sparkly trees, turkey and the North Pole? Or maybe a 'Winter Wonderland' theme, with snow and ice? Or, if you're in the southern hemisphere, December might mean sunshine and tropical beaches. Perhaps there's a place you visit every year around this time? Or a favourite book you like to read, or a movie you like to watch, during the holidays? Maybe you enjoy some mammoth D & D sessions over the festive period with friends or family? Create a map inspired by something that you associate with December. It can be real or fictional, any genre, any style.

Here's the small print...

Title your threads 'December 2018 Challenge: Your Title Here'
Don't forget to use the ### Latest WIP ### tag. There's a button on the toolbar.
Challenge will close at the end of the month (we'll update more precisely on the time nearer the end of the month.)

This is your last chance ever to win a gold compass.*

Let's see some maps!

What a perfect holiday challenge! I bet it will be full of Yuletide cheer.

Note: my phone tried to make "cheer" into "curry". Yum!

You are always more reasonable than me ;P
I still want to do some challenges with unique awards.
Maybe sometime when there's more time.

I don't have tons of time this month, but maybe I can join in.

Fun! I have an idea but am awaiting a response on copyrights before I start. This just may be the first time I ever map a real place!

I'm trying to join you! I realized I can map the Vörösmarty tér Christmas market in Budapest. Usually I go to Budapest in the late fall/early winter (just easier for everyone's scheduling) and we always try to make sure we'll be there when the Christmas markets are open. I think this is a better option than mapping the New Jersey turnpike.

Now theres an interesting challenge... Map a junction!

Great to see more folks joining in, and I hope some others will take part too.

Just think how great a shiny new gold compass will look on your profile. It'll be like the star at the top of a Christmas tree!

Last Challenge? I was away for a while, was that serious or a joke? O__O

[ChickPea]

A joke! It's the last challenge of 2018 (see the asterisk at the bottom of my first comment at the top of the page)

There'll be a new challenge in January as usual. And, all going well, we may see a reappearance of our favourite regular challenge host! Guard your kneecaps, everyone!
