Yes, this is an old challenge. I made it last year and I am reviving it again for this year! So for 1999, give me some Holiday stories! Bring them on!!! (And yes, I will probably make it again next year and the next and... Well, you get the idea!) So give me Christmas stories, Chanakuh or Winter Solstice, throw in Daniel Cooper (Cameron Daddo's latest role - Hope Island) if you must, just write them. About Rollie and Angie, Leo and Frank, Mira and Tony, Captain Van Duran, Blue, whoever, whatever! Write me a holiday story please!!!! Below are the 1998 responses, let's add some new ones for 1999! Please! Pleasepleasepleaseplease!!!

I challenge! Yes, I challenge all you FX fans to write us some stories. The holidays are coming. They're right around the bend! The challenge is a simple one. Write a Holiday story for our reading pleasure. It can be about Christmas. It can be about Hannakuh. Write about Rollie's first Christmas with the Ramirez family. Write about the Ramirez first Christmas without Angie's mother. Write about Rollie's and Leo's first Christmas together. Write about Angie finding out about Hannakuh at a friend's house. Write about Mira's Christmas with Michael. Or Rollie's Christmas with Dingo. So turn on your imaginations and exercise those muses. Just give us a response by Christmas Eve (1998). And oh heck, if you really want to, I'll take Rollie's first taste of Thanksgiving! And let all FXers have a Happy Hooowwwllliday Season!!!

Who will be the first? Guess that's me!
