twelve days of blogging christmas.
i've told you all about my soul sister amber before. she is a lovely person who is always there when you need her, and she also happens to love the christmas season just as much as i do. amber and i were talking about the upcoming season (and blogging, as we do), and we had a moment of inspiration: why not host a blog series focusing on our favorite parts of christmas? and because we're creative little elves, why not call it "12 days of blogging christmas"?12 days of blogging christmas will be 12 days of christmas cheer and reflecting on the season. each weekday, between december 9 and christmas eve, we'll be writing a post in response to a christmas prompt (see the list of prompts by date below). you can also link up your posts both here on hooley with a 'z' and over at mr. thomas and me, so we can all learn a little more about each other's traditions and christmas wishes (and find some lovely new blogs to read in the process!). there will be a new linkup set up for each day, so you can write blogs for as many of the prompts as you want and share your post each time. (get creative with the prompts and don't be afraid to do a photo essay or interpret the prompts in your own way. and for you non-bloggers, get in on the fun in the comment section!).can you even stand the excitement?!?the purpose of the 12 days of blogging christmas is truly to just bring some fun and festivity to our blogging during what is one of the busiest times of the year. it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of all the parties and shopping and family get-togethers that come with christmas. and those things are all wonderful, but if you're anything like me, christmas comes and goes, and you realize that you never really reflected on the season. well, not this year. this year, let's be mindful of the christmas season, and reflect on why it makes us feel like little kids when it comes around each year.is everyone ready to get REALLY into the christmas spirit? i know i am. and i can't wait to read about all of your traditions and christmas favorites.here are the prompts, listed by date. (no weekends because that's when the fun happens!) the first linkup will open at midnight on december 9, U.S. central time. you can also share your posts on twitter or facebook using the hashtag #12daysofblogging.
let us know if you'll be following along and joining in on the christmas blogging fun starting december 9! we're already excited!
