Secret Holiday Ornament Exchange

November 12, 2007 | Fun Blogger Stuff

Yesterday I took the girls to the mall - Abby had a party at Build-a-Bear and Emily needed new shoes. I was SHOCKED that Santa is already at the mall. We didn’t visit with him (husband wasn’t with me, he was at Redskins game) but it would have been a prime time, only about 5 kids in line. Anyhow, seeing Santa got me thinking about Christmas. One thing I really love about Christmas is decorating our Christmas tree. Last year we actually put up 3! I love looking at the ornaments and if you invite me to a holiday party at your house, I love looking at the ornaments on your tree. So here is what I thought about…

Is anyone interested in participating in a secret holiday ornament exchange? If you are, please email me (abbilyeverafter AT hotmail dot com) or leave a comment on this post. I will need your name, email, blog name (if you have one) and mailing address. If you want to participate please let me know by Wednesday, Nov. 21. I will then email you the name and address of another blogger/blog reader and you will send them an ornament. You can spend whatever dollar amount you’d like but please make sure it is a new ornament and something you would proudly hang on your own tree. Ornaments will need to be in the mail by December 7, or sooner, to guarantee Christmas arrival - especially if we have anyone playing from outside the USA. Once your ornament arrives, and you have hung it on your tree, please take a picture of it and post about it. Sound fun?

Please feel free to mention this on your own blogs - the more that join in the merrier!
