The Christmas Music In Walmart Reminded Me To Do This

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.

You did a fine job on your button. I can’t wait! I’m dusting off my nativity scene, and desperately looking for the baby Jesus this very morning.

Overwhelmed! November 16, 2006 at 11:25 pm

Okay, this just might get me motivated to get my butt in gear and get decorations up before Dec. 15th. Thanks!

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??

Momma Boz November 18, 2006 at 2:53 am

Sounds like fun! I’ll post a button, too!

Reply

Gina November 19, 2006 at 4:38 am

I’m thinking I could probably participate in this one. Now all I have to do is find those decorations…

Morning Glory November 19, 2006 at 4:10 pm

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?
