Welcome to the last Jam of the year! I’m sure you’ve been pining for another creative challenge. I can’t wait to introduce the prompt for this month, but first, stick with me as we spruce up our day by going through all your tree creations!

Jutze of POTTÖRHEAD sent in a song called “The Christmas Tree Is Alive” featuring the evergreen topic of magic accidents. You can listen to it here. Take these words as a warning and charm your trees with care, friends!

Help me, the Christmas tree is alive
Help me, the Christmas tree is alive

When I tried to use my wand to turn on the Christmas lights
I had a magic accident – now the Christmas tree is alive

Help me, the Christmas tree left the room
Help me, the Christmas tree stole my broom
Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me!

Sagan of Candle Wix created a magical recreation of a Muppet Show skit, which you can listen to here. They note, “the sample of “Trees” that I used is from a now-public-domain album by organist Dick Leibert called Organ Reveries from 1945!” I note that I could knot stop laughing for quite a while.

For December, as we wrap up the year, let’s bring in traditions as our theme. What are some traditions you’ve been part of, broken, or begun? What are some magical traditions you’d love to see? What else comes to your mind? If you write, sing, draw, curate, or otherwise create anything on this theme, I’d love to see! Have fun, and I’ll be back here again next month, as is my custom.
