The Christmas Music In Walmart Reminded Me To Do This

November 14, 2006

Mark your bloggy calendars, everybody!

Feel free to steal the button as well, but for the love of pete, keep it small. Because the resolution? Not so great.

(But this is as good as it gets button-wise because I nearly ruptured a retina scrutinizing my humble button-making efforts.)

(I’m enjoying the use of the word “button” coupled with a hyphen, if you can’t tell.)

(I’m feeling somewhat button-challenged.)

Anyhoo, I only ask a couple of things if you’re planning to participate in this humble little tour:

1) That you actually post pictures of your holiday decorations (and by all means, if you celebrate Hanukkah and not Christmas, please join us).

2) That you don’t mock the season. Or the Reason. Or the people who are participating. And I shouldn’t even have to say that because MY WORD WE’RE A BUNCH OF GROWN-UPS, PEOPLE!

As for what kind of pictures we’re going to post…well, I’m thinking pictures of your tree…pictures of a particular collection that you love…pictures of your favorite nativity scene…pictures of your front door…and pictures of your outside decorations if you’d like to share them.

So basically, you know, whatever.

And really, it’s only fair that you should provide some refreshments (I mean, you ARE inviting us over and all), so I think it would be great fun if everyone posted his or her favorite quick and easy holiday recipe along with the pictures.

Just an idea. Feel free to ignore.

Let me know if y’all have questions or suggestions…and remember, I’ll put a Mr. Linky up the morning of the 15th, and everyone can link away!

Feliz Navidad, y’all.

    Jennifer, Snapshot Says:

    So, what you’re saying is that I need to start working out my wrists and fingers and clear my calendar for December 15, so that I can surf the net for eight hours and still only hit half of the 500 links??

    I want to do this, but I will be out of town on the 15th. I could have one of my daughters post mine for me, but I won’t be able to view anyone else’s until we get back on the 18th. Can I still be part of it, even if my visits are late? Or should I pass until next year?

    Domestic Adventures » Sickness Says:

    [...] Normally, we are not a sick family, but for the past two months we have been struggling to all be healthy at the same time. Micah has had a lingering cough since last time he was sick, so when it started to get worse on Friday, I took him to the doctor. The doctor prescribed an antibiotic for an ear infection and a nebulizer for wheezing. Fortunately, this laid back little guy doesn’t mind the breathing mask at all. I wonder if something in the vapor makes him sleepy. Maybe I could use one of these at church, make him breath camomile vapor or something and he’d just relax into my arms like this instead of turning and twisting all during the service! Micah seems to be on the road to recovery, but now Emmaline and I are sick. One of the most discouraging things about being sick is not seeing people. We canceled the elders’ dinner at our house on Friday, I stayed home with Micah on Sunday, I’m skipping ladies Bible study this morning and calling off Bible study at our house tonight. I can’t wait to be out doing stuff again – and have people here at our house! I’ve got my Christmas decorations up, but am beginning to think we won’t ever be able to have people over to share them with. Thank goodness for BooMama’s Bloggy Christmas Tour of Homes! [...]
