Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! Happy Chanukkah to all my Jewish
friends! Feliz Navidad, Kwanzaa Blessings and Happy Holidays to
everyone else!
Today marks the official start of the 12 Days of Christmas for 2020 and it is time for the 12 Days of Christmas Quest to begin!
This has been quite the year hasn't it?! A year like nothing else we've seen in our lifetimes up to this point unless one of you happens to be over 100! We have seen some of the worst that mankind can offer and we've seen some of the best that mankind can offer. It is certainly a year that we will never forget.

We have seen some of the worst that mankind can offer and we've seen some of the best that mankind can offer. It is certainly a year that we will never forget.
That is why this year, your tasks are going to be rather different. Each day
over the next 12 days, I'll be asking you questions to
find out what the impact of the last year has been on your life--how it has affected you, what things you've had to do differently, how you've had to adjust your life--that kind of idea. You will be able to
leave your daily answer in a comment on the post for each respective
day. If you follow the
instructions for each day, you'll earn a free digital paper.
I know that this is a crazy busy time of year and hopefully the majority of you are off-line and spending quality time with the people within your household (and further extended if you are in an area doing well for the moment); so, be rest assured, that you will have plenty of time to complete each task. AS LONG AS all your TASKS are submitted, no later than January 12th, 2021, then you will qualify to receive the paper(s) for whichever day(s) you participate.
Here is the paper up for grabs today...

Here is the paper up for grabs today...
This paper is 3600 x 3600 pixels, in jpg format and published at 300 dpi. Credits include: Tiana Geo (via Creative Fabrica) and Pixaroma (DealJumbo).
In the zip folder that will be emailed should you successfully complete
the quest, you will find a copy of the paper, its preview sheet, the
credit information and my terms of use which are standard to all my
folders.
Play along each of the 12 days and you'll earn yourself the full set! So, how about we get started with today's task?!!
On the first day of Christmas,
it is time to earn paper number one,
So, I hope that you will all join in
and have yourself a little bit of fun!!!
Task:
Most of us have Christmas traditions that we incorporate into our lives each year. This year Christmas is very different for many people in the world unless you happen to be living in New Zealand or Australia or other countries that are doing so much better.

Are there any specific holiday traditions that you are relying on to help make this Christmas a special one? Obviously this is a different year in light of Covid-19, so are you creating any new traditions in light of the situation we find ourselves in?
For myself, it is generally just hubby and me for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We call my parents and hubby calls some of his siblings but for the most part we just spend a quiet day with each other. Covid hasn't changed that for us. We have a tradition of cooking specific food items for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and we'll take comfort in those same traditions.
When you come up with a response for today's task, simply leave your response in a comment on THIS POST. Now for many of you, especially those who have played in previous years, the odds are that I should have your e-mail address in order to send out the free paper you earn. If you are new to the quest or are not sure whether I might have your email address, please be sure to also leave your email address in your comment. Now if you are afraid of being spammed, you can write your address by adding {at} and {dot} in their respective spots (see sample below) so that robot spammers won't grab it from the comments when they are published. If you would prefer that no one else see your email address, then you can send it to me in an email to decossesdynamitedoodles {at} yahoo {dot} ca (be sure to replace 'at' and 'dot' with the appropriate symbols) or by clicking HERE to bring up my address in your email program, with the subject heading, "12 DoC 2020: Email Addy for DP Mail Out".
This is a busy time of year for me too and I also want to spend some time with my hubby as well; so, I ask that you please be patient with me. I generally wait until the entire quest is over so that way if someone has participated in all 12 Days, I can just save time and send out the full set at once. So I'll make a list (and check it twice 😉) throughout the 12 Days of Christmas Quest keeping track of who has participated and then work on sending out papers once the event has wrapped up. If someone has participated each day over the next 12 days and has managed to get all their answers in by Jan. 5th, then I'll start mailing as of then. If not, I'll be waiting until the 12th when the deadline is over.
Merry Christmas, my wonderful friends, followers and readers! See you all tomorrow for day number two!!!
Cheers!
