The RogueMas List!

---

Item #	Description
1	(SELF) LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR (IMAGE): The holidays can be tough on your mental health. Create an advent calendar filled with things or ideas to show yourself some kindness and compassion. It can be for the 12 days of RogueMas, a month, or anytime frame. Bonus: Show it in use or give it to someone you care about!
2	SWEET SPIN (VIDEO): Chanukah (Hanukkah) is pretty sweet. Prove it! Make a dreidel out of candy, and show it to us spinning in action. Accessibility Tip: If you are not able to spin it on your own, have a friend help or find a clever way to have it “spin” (Lazy susan? Resting on the arm of your wheelchair? Sky’s the limit!). #HappyChanukah #SweetSpin
3	AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 HOLIDAYS (IMAGE/VIDEO): We know there is more to the holidays than just Christmas. Pick any holiday from any time of year and show us how you celebrate it in your part of the world. Secular or religious. Tell us what that holiday means to you and what part of the world your celebration is from.
4	YOU ARE NOT ALONE (IMAGE/VIDEO): Sarah Millican’s #JoinIn campaign is an effort to connect with people who may be alone or lonely during the holidays, but even if no one else is around, you are not alone. You may be away from friends or family for the holidays, but you are still part of a community who cares about you, and you deserve to celebrate. Show us your spectacular solo celebration with tips to help others survive the holidays alone. If you are not feeling spectacular, that’s okay too. Instead, use this space to show us how you feel. #YouAreNotAlone.
5	YULE TRIBUTE (IMAGE): Yule, also known as the winter solstice, is the shortest day of the year. Many pagan practices include observation of the Yule as a time to celebrate the triumph of light over darkness. In the medium of your choice, create a beautiful candle-lit tribute to someone who helped you find your way out of the dark this year.
6	LITTLE NEW YEAR (IMAGE): The winter solstice, or Dongji (동지) is celebrated as the “Little New Year”, with the Lunar New year being the big one. On Dongji, people eat adzuki bean porridge with rice dumplings and celebrate getting a year older together. Calendars are a traditional gift. Make an homage to someone or something you care about out of beans and rice, then eat it or feed it to someone hungry. OR make a special calendar for someone special, and give it to them. #Dongji.
7	FLOOD THE STREETS (IMAGE): Members of the international Facebook group “Flood the Streets with Art” leave creative treasures in public spaces on Black Friday. Now it is your turn, RogueMas-style! Package at least three handmade creative pieces with a note reading “For you. Please share a photo on social media and tag #RogueHunt .” Hide your treasures in a safe public place (don’t leave art in any ecologically sensitive environments) and show us a collage of your items in the wild. Accessibility Tip: “Handmade” can be anything made by you! Poetry written using text to speech or AAV, printed digital art, wherever your creative mind takes you! If you are not able to go out, try to find a way to share them in public internet spaces or with friends and family!
8	A LOT OF LATKES (IMAGE): Toy kitchens are fun, but the menu needs a refresh! Latkes from Israel, yebeg wot from Ethiopia, pasteles from Puerto Rico; you get the idea. Create a set of diverse play foods so children may “prepare” festive feasts reflecting their own family’s traditions. Bonus: Donate your (child-safe) toys to a child in your life (or a teacher!) who would enjoy them. Check donation guidelines if you wish to give to your local children’s hospital or shelter. #PretendFoodRealLove
9	GOODNESS GLITTER (IMAGE/VIDEO): What is it? You tell us. Show us what you think Goodness Glitter looks like without using actual glitter. Remember to keep it environmentally friendly!
10	HYGGE OVERLOAD (IMAGE): How much hygge is too much hygge? Let’s find out.
11	GINGERBREAD HEAD GEAR(IMAGE): Show us a picture of you modeling your best stove pipe, bowler, or other hat, made of gingerbread. #GingerbreadHeadGear
12	CHRISTMAS CAROL CONCERT (VIDEO): TikTok Challenge: For those that play an instrument, we would like to you take this video: shorturl.at/cCGT6 and duet it as many times as possible until we have a whole concert with all the instruments. Let’s make some musical magic together.
13	HELP A HELPER (IMAGE): This season you likely were aided by many essential workers in retail, healthcare, transportation, and many other areas. Pick someone who really helped you, and write a letter to their supervisor detailing their excellent service. If able, tag the organization or business with a picture of your letter OR a picture of you writing the letter on social media. Do not post sensitive information like addresses! Accessibility Tip: Write the letter using your normal way of writing or find a way to tell their supervisor verbally. #ThanksForHelping
14	LITERARY TREAT (IMAGE): Have you ever baked sugar plums or Christmas pudding? Have you ever wanted to try the pickled limes, which were such a treat in Little Women? Pick a food that you have never tasted from a book you love, and bring this festive fare from the page into the real world. Show us a picture of the dish you made and the book which inspired it. #LiteraryTreat.
15	TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE (IMAGE): Give the well known poem “‘Twas The Night Before Christmas” a completely new spin. Is it the night before a big game? A test? An average day at work? What happened?! You tell us! Make sure your new story matches the original poem’s rhythm so that it is recognizable.
16	READING REGIFT (IMAGE): Breathe new life into books instead of letting your old favorites collect dust – pass them along to another reader. Tag and track a book you love on BookCrossing by marking them with BCIDs (BookCrossing Identity Numbers) at https://www.bookcrossing.com/. Once it’s registered on this site, the book can then be followed and journaled forever. BookCrossing is free to join and free to play. So don’t be shelfish with your books – read and release! Show a side by side image of your book registration and your book out in the wild. If you want to hunt for a book instead, post a picture of the book you find and your journal entry side by side. #BookCrossing.
17	TIDINGS OF JOY (IMAGE): Using the medium of your choice, depict an unexpected moment of joy from your year in the style of a stained glass motif.
18	HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIDE (IMAGE/VIDEO): New year new you? Nah! New year but same you from a different dimension. What is other you up to these days anyway?
19	PAROL PARADE (IMAGE): In the Philippines, traditional ornamental lanterns called Paroles are often made of bamboo sticks and paper. Make your own parol out of your recyclables. #ParolParade.
20	GROWN-UP SLUMBER PARTY (IMAGE): We are doing our best to normalize grown-up slumber parties. Put on your best set of PJs and build a pillow or blanket fort for you and your friends to hang out in. If building a fort is not an option for you, show us what kind of PJs Charlie should wear to his next slumber party. Post image on social media and tag @charliecapen #GrownUpSlumberParty.
21	SELF CARE BOX (IMAGE): Everyone needs a little self care every now and then, but sometimes you are just too tired to do it. Make a box of things that make you feel safe and cared for to have on hand for when you need an emotional boost. Self care is different for everyone so make sure this box is for YOU.
22	NOM NOM NOM (VIDEO): Give us your best Cookie Monster impression while eating your favorite holiday snack and be sure to make a mess – Bonus if you can get your whole family to do the same! Accessibility Tip: Enteral/Parenteral or other forms of nutrition? Perfect! If you are able, follow the prompt as is just with your way of eating, or find a way to make the process Cookie Monster themed!
23	IT’S SNOW JOKE OUTSIDE (IMAGE): Winter or Summer, everyone deserves kindness. Depending on your current season, donate coats or socks and hygiene supplies to a shelter for those in transition. Alternatively you may donate blankets to your local animal shelter. Please be respectful and do not post images of other people.
24	LITTLE VICTORIES (IMAGE): In this world of big moments, we need to celebrate the little victories too! Create a ribbon or trophy in recognition of a small yet important accomplishment of yours or someone else’s. Then share the award with us so we can celebrate with you!
25	HERE COMES THE SUN (IMAGE/VIDEO): Many cultures around the world center their winter festivities around the winter solstice. Celebrating the return of the sun as the nights shorten and the days lengthen. Create a routine or ritual (interpretive dance, yoga, Tai Chi, etc.) that welcomes the sun. If you are experiencing Summer right now, create a routine or ritual embracing the current warmth and light. #HereComesTheSun
26	HO HO ROE (IMAGE): Show us your RogueMas declaration for reproductive rights. It can be a shiny tree ornament, an embroidered tea towel, a holiday sweater, or another dazzling decoration, but should clearly include a message in support of reproductive equality (such as: “I choose Birth Control over Female Control!” but come up with your own). #HoHoRoe.
27	HAUNTED TALES OF ROGUEMAS (IMAGE): Three Ghosts haunting you over the holidays is so last century. Write a very short story where 3 new entities show someone the true meaning of RogueMas.

Show us your bubble wrap outfit for New Year’s Eve. Bonus: Welcome in 2023 with a bubble stomping tap dance or a bubble popping countdown in your new costume. Accessibility Tip: Feel free to roll over your bubble wrap rather than stomp it! #BubblyForTheNewYear
33	(MIGRATORY) UKRAINIAN SWALLOWS (VIDEO): Shchedryk is a Ukrainian New Year‘s song, known in English as “The Little Swallow”. It tells a story of this little bird flying into a house and proclaiming a plentiful and bountiful year for the family. “Shchedryk” was later adapted as an English Christmas carol, “Carol of the Bells” (not based on the Ukrainian lyrics) in 1936. Record yourself singing the original lyrics, in Ukrainian or translated into your native language. Accessibility Tip: If you are a non speaking person, record yourself reciting a portion of the song in the way that you normally communicate (sign language, AAV, typing, etc). We’d love to see it! #StandWithUkraine
