M is for MOURNIVAL
Mama mia! The massive and mean A to Z machine marches merrily along on M-Day. It moves minute by minute with a mixture of mediocre and masterful minions and messengers. It's the mid-way mark! Mazel Tov!

The word for Day 13 is—-
MOURNIVAL
The horror/comedy blockbuster movie which is raking in millions at the box office! 
So that's my definition. What's yours? Post it in the comment box below. Remember you stand to win a prize
I can't think of a definition but yours works for me. Any excuse to use Halloween graphics!
Also love your intros so much, they're so creative. 🙂
A party after the funeral where mourners gather round and act like clowns to cheer themselves.
After a funeral, everyone gets free passes to the local mournival.
What fun intros! Alex's definition was really close to mine and now that's all I can think of.
Best I could come up with is something along the lines of what PK and Alex already said.
It sounds like carnival (in my head anyway, I could be wrong) so something to do with that. Haha. you love how awesome I am at making up defintions?
A party for mourners, better known as a funeral. 🙂
Hey Michelle,
Mournival sounds like a sad thing that happens to a carnival.
Yep! Funeral. Everyone's got the idea on this one.
Mournival. Day of the Dead. Dia de los Muertos. November 1 and 2.
Break out the black…. IT'S MOURNIVAL …. a new sesation. Unlike Carnival which celebrates live. This festival celebrates death… Zombies are our hosts, but all spirits are welcome. Come as your favored dead. Why not resureect your favorite author. A pale Hemingway comes to mind with a bullet hole in the side his head…. Sick, I know. LOL.
Because I keep forgetting to mention it, I'll say it now – your link that you use in your comments on my blog doesn't work.
Now to the fun stuff. Mournival, at least how I've heard my sister use the term, is the day after the mother-in-law has come for a long visit. I think she spells it "mornevil", but she's not a good speller.
I can't believe it's the midway point already! Are you dying??? Someday I'll be brave enough to try the A-Z!
Same as the rest… a festival of mourning to celebrate the dearly departed!
It sounds like a carnival of mourners.
I'm loving all these words you make up 🙂 — I like Medeia's definition.

Thanks for playing along guys!
Seems like this one was a "no-brainer"…the definitions are similar.
Mournival, aka an Irish wake 🙂
I like yours. It sounds so real.
Here's mine:
Mournival: A media circus when someone dies.
Used in a sentence: The networks satelite trucks descended upon the church, completing the mournival-type atmosphere at Michael Jackson's funeral.
