POST SERIES EDIT: For those of you arriving at this page following the end of the series, this is our “landing page” for the Christmas series, which also served as our welcome page during the series. The first information you probably will not be interested in, as it pertains to introduction and the door prize. If you scroll down, you will find the index for each day of the series and the feature for that day. If you love Christmas, I think you will enjoy this series and may stumble onto some great ideas to enjoy yourself or with your family.
For any early birds to our Christmas Countdown party, welcome!
If you are a regular visitor or follow us on Facebook or Twitter, you know we’ve been planning for some time for this event. Can you believe it is just over 100 days until Christmas?! Whatever happened to the “…as slow as Christmas” saying?!
Tricia, at Recipe Roundup, graciously offered to help with the event and agreed to co-host it with us. She and I have got some neat ideas over these next 100 days to share with you. It’s hard for me to choose favorites from among them, and I think you’re going to really enjoy each of them and that there will be something for everyone.
You may want to bookmark this page, because this is where I will be updating a list of each day’s features (scroll down below the door prize and giveaway winner information) so that you have one place to come to if you missed a day or want to see a list of everything together that has happened so far. This will also be the place where we will post giveaway winners at the end of each giveaway we have for you.
And with just a few hours away, we wanted to make a surprise announcement of our door prize for any early birds who’d like an early entry into the drawing! The door prize is 2 sets of super cute Party Picks, perfect for holiday entertaining:
As you can see… these are perfect to use as pull-out-picks, with cocktails, or hors d’oeuvres. If using as pull-out-picks, there is a place to sit your serving bowl of tasty dip on top of the pick holder. Each set includes 30 picks, so there are a total of 60.
For an early bird entry (please only one entry per person), enter your name (click on the light blue inlinkz button just below) here:
