Let The Joyous News Be Spread: December

 The last month of the year has finally come! The Last challenge that I have to get done! Let me tell you this whole year has been totally nuts and I am so happy that I am almost done with all of it! Not that that year hasn't been fun, it has, but it's been very stressful trying to get everything that I needed to get completed done. I am very thankful for everyone who has helped me to get to the end of the year and able to finish all of the challenges that I have tried to complete in the last few years. However, it's been a wonderful burden that I am ready to change up a bit. So, let's get started with the last challenge of 2022.

December 28th was National Card Playing Day. So, I did a little cheat with the movie this year. I ended up choosing a move that is based off of a board game. I chose to watch the movie Clue.




Based off of the very popular board game, Clue is very much a cult classis that has done nothing but grown in popularity over the years. The movie starts out with several guests arriving at a mansion but they are all given the different names to go by for the evening. In a crazy turn of events the person who invited them has been murdered, followed by the cook, house cleaner, and some other attempts of murders that happen over the next few hours. The house holds secrets of it's own. The survivors are forced to go through the house and find clues to see who murdered all of these people, and with what weapon, to catch the culprit, and have them arrested before they get away. 

I will say, I totally understand why people love this movie so much. It's witty, silly, nonsensical, and just insane to watch the whole way though. The cast is amazing, and the best part is that this film really was a mystery in that of it's self. Apparently, when the movie was first released there were three different endings. There were three different characters that could have done the murder. Since there were that many endings, they were released separately. So, you could be in one city and have one ending that one that was released somewhere else. I don't know of many movies that would even consider doing this but I am sure it was a lot of confusion, and arguments, that happened because of this. Oh, to be a fly on the wall when people found out that there was more than one ended and then trying to see the film somewhere else to figure out the other endings. 

So, for National Card Playing Day I was going to play like Solitaire the make this work. I am usually so insanely busy during December that I can't hardly add anything to by plate. So, I really going to try very hard to make it very easy on myself. However, things ended up working out much better than I could have thought. 


So, this was something that ended up happening kind of last minute, but we had a impromptu game night on the 28th. So, I didn't have to make anything easy for me, I just had to go to Jeannie's house and play games. The game we ended up playing was one called Ransom Notes. It's where you are given a crazy prompt and then you have to use all of the million words to makes and answer. It's like Apples to Apples but a little bit harder. I will say that this is not my favorite game to play in the whole world, but it's still very fun to play. I didn't like it because I am not super fast at coming up with witty sentences with the words that we are given. I can't make stuff up like that. I really wish I was better at that but I am not. Everyone else was very good at this game. It's one of their favorites and will for sure be added to the rotation of what we will be playing for future game nights. 

With this, I finally have finished the normal yearly challenges that I have made for myself this year! I can't believe how fun, and totally stressful, this who year as been! I am thankful for all of the people who have helped me to make these challenges happen. I am so happy that I was able to complete all of these this year and I can't wait to see what is going to come around the corner.
