How to Use This Board










Details:   

• Show us your best photos  illustrating "Christmas Preparations" for this challenge.  How do you plan for Christmas?  Do you decorate?  Are you with family and friends?  Tell us about your Christmas Preparations.   Here is an opportunity to come up with some fascinating and creative pictures!       

• Use the attachment feature to show your photos (see directions above in the link to "How to Use This Board") in your post or link to them from your gallery or an offsite location that allows linking using the image codes.  If you have trouble, please contact a moderator (name in blue) or an administrator (name in red) and we'll help you post your photo.  If you have your photo in your gallery, please don't use the attachment feature as that puts the photo on our server twice but rather link to it.    

• Please upload up to 4 entries per member for this challenge.    

• The challenge is open now and will be closed to uploads on Sat., Dec. 2, 2006 and then we'll vote on them.    

• Please put a title in your post for your photos.  We need the title for the poll.   

• Of course, we're going to see who is posting the photos so this is not an anonymous challenge.  So start posting.  Click on the "Reply" button below and start this challenge!
  Remember, this is a fun project!    

Thanks to Bircher for suggesting the last topic, "Thanksgiving" which we will keep open where you all can share things or places that you are thankful for.  Thanks Sam!

ABOVE ALL THE HUB-BUB... HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, I BELEIVE WE HAVE LOST THE TRUE MEANING OF WHAT IT WAS MENT TO BE...SO A COUPLE YEARS AGO I HAD SOME EXTRA LIGHTS LEFT OVER FROM MAMA'S TREE ....  SO I DECIDED TO PLACE A COUPLE STRINGS THAT WOULD SPELL OUT WHAT IN THE END IS THE "TRUE MEANING " OF CHRISTmas ...A SAVIOR WHO WAS GIVIN THAT WE MIGHT LIVE !.... FUNNY THING ...ALL THE PHOTOS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT IN OUR NEWSPAER OF HOLIDAY LIGHTS AND SUCH....THIS ONE NEVER SEEMS TO HAVE MADE IT... WELL I GUESS IT'S NOT REALLY ALL THAT SURPRIZING ...BUT I DO PRAY MANY WOULD LOOK UPON IT EACH DAY......EACH YEAR THE TREE COMES DOWN...BUT NOT THESE LIGHTS THEY KEEP SHINING OUT "GOOD NEWS"....THE MESSAGE EVERY DAY TO THOSE WHO PASS BY MY HOUSE.... TO...PRAISE THE FATHER, YHWH, AND YESHUA THE SON !  ....AMEIN

Sure enough, it's that time again!  You gals have a head start on me, for sure!  I do not plan to do much this year, as I do not think any of the kids or grands will be coming to our house, but will be having Christmas at their own homes.  That's the way it should be, I guess, and I'm happy with that.........as long as we are invited!

I now have four or five Christmas trees, so will get one out and set it up, as soon as I give the living room a thorough cleaning!

Your trees and decorations look very festive, Etta Sue and Marilyn.

Well not much in the way of Christmas preperations around this house. I just ordered some outdoor Christmas decorations though.

I got a little 4 1/2 foot outdoor tree that has the lights on it and I've put it on my deck in front of my living room window.  It's kind of nice looking out there.  I put it up last night.  I'll get a photo of it.

Love seeing your preparations.

Your outdoor tree sound lovely, Pat.

Etta Sue, I love your fireplace, and the fire looks like a real wood one!  I miss having a fireplace, we had two in the big house.

I did get my tree up yesterday, but not the other stuff.  Maybe tomorrow.

Thanks, Janet!  That fireplace sure cuts the gas bill down.  I do believe it has paid for itself by now.

One of my favorite Christmas cards, that I believe really captures the child-like joy of the season.

One of my top 2-3, all-time favorite Christmas cards. It reminds me of Christmas in Wisconsin, where I was raised.

Great, Jim!  I love candles -- and your favorite Christmas cards, too!  Your den looks like a neat place to hang out.

Kevin, that is a neat ornament for your Baby's First Christmas ... Thanks for sharing.

Finally found time to have a look .... nice pictures!  Have yet to put up any decorations.  Usually all finished by now, so had best do something about getting up my little tree.  Will take a picture....That is a neat Christmas Card.  Love old fashioned things
