No L

Can I do it? Perhaps....

For the Christmas season I wanted to see if I was up to writing one of these that didn't contain the character that's one after "K."

I didn't fathom how taxing it was before I attempted this. 100 words and none containing THAT character.

It's rather restricting, though not as cumbersome as if I were barred from using an "S" or a "T."

At the very minimum, there's one key phrase that didn't contain that character:

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

(With thanks to great movie director Hitchcock for the idea.)

Hitchcock would send his Christmas cards that had every letter on the front of the card except the letter "L." That was his way of saying Noel.

Great concept, great drabble, have a great Christmas, without a Hitch.
Christopher over 6 years ago

Thanks, Neville. You too.

Wow. That must've been extremely difficult. When I finished this drabble I proofread it four times and then realized I had a word that had an L in it and had to alter it.

That must have been an L of a challenge. Well done! No L’s in New Year either.

Thanks, Steve.

No L in that either.
