As the air turns colder, and notes of hot cocoa fill the air, it’s time to turn our attention to one of our favorite blogging traditions: Listmas! Here at Virtual Bastion, we are once again happy to continue our December tradition of listing the best lists. If you aren’t aware of it already, Listmas is a blogging “holiday” that was started eight years ago by a fellow blogger friend, and it’s all about making lists! We’ve stuck with the tradition ever since, as Listmas has been a great way to have some fun during the hectic month that is December, while also providing a bit of respite from more serious fare. In a way, it has helped us wind down a bit before revving back up in January.

What listing adventures await you, dear readers, in the coming weeks? We’ve picked a few topics that will hopefully serve to delight and satisfy. Over the course of the next four weeks, we’ll be covering the following:

Week 1: Favorite food and/or drinks from games

Week 2: Favorite video game mascots

Week 3: Best casual/family-friendly games

Week 4: Wildcard – writer’s choice!

As always, we invite other bloggers to join along in all the fun, because the more lists, the better! We’ll try our best to share any Listmas posts we catch, too (tagging posts #Listmas2021 will help!), because ’tis the season for sharing as much as it is for listing. Our Listmas celebration begins here on the 5^th, and we hope you’ll join us all month long as we revel in all that makes games special.

Merry Listmas, one and all!
