The last three games in the series are meant to require some amount of time to do well, because we're planning to go dark for a week, from Monday the 29th to Sunday the 4th. The games will give at least some readers something to entertain themselves during that week. Meanwhile, we'll be able to work on some technical things we need to do, and also get a breather.
Today's game is pretty simple, and gets a GIANT assist from Mike Wilks, the artist responsible for one of (Z)'s favorite books, The Ultimate Alphabet. Each page in the book is devoted to one letter of the alphabet, and contains somewhere between 100 (or so) and 1,000 (or so) things that start with that letter. Here is the page for 'S':
The game today is to name as many things as you can that: (1) Appear in the drawing, (2) start with the letter 'S' and (3) suggest, in some way, the holidays, cold weather, etc. For example, the page in the book for the letter 'E' has, among other things, an Eskimo Dog (dog breed from cold parts of the world), the flag of Estonia (a very cold country), and an elf (works for Santa), among many other answers that would be appropriate.
For this one, it works best if you send your answers, via e-mail, to comments@electoral-vote.com. That way, you can open up a document or a blank e-mail, and work on your list at your leisure. We do encourage creativity, and do feel free to add an explanation for answers that might require an argument to qualify. There are at least 100 answers, in our judgment, and readers will surely add more that we missed. Also, note that you can click on the image above to see a much larger version. Happy hunting! (Z)
