The holiday season is right around the corner! It is the season of giving and this year I have been thinking about ways I can give gifts that mean a lot but don't cost so much. I want to spread my feelings of happiness and joy and giving this season to all in bloggy-land so I came up with an idea (with help from Tall Mom and Running with Boys).
First Annual Christmas Card/Gift exchange
Guidelines:
1. Maximum of $15 including shipping. Gift and card should be mailed in plenty of time to get to your Bloggy buddy's door by Christmas.
2. Please include a Christmas card and also one or two small gifts. Can be home-made, running related, something that is native to the area you live in. Try and get creative!!
3. (optional) Post on your blog the gift that you sent to your bloggy Christmas buddy!!
Here's how it works:
If you are interested, leave a comment. Bloggers will be partnered up by random drawing and pairings will be announced on Wednesday December 2nd!!
Everyone is welcomed to join in, so please invite your friends! The more the merrier!! The last day to enter is Monday November 30th!

Ran this morning (Tuesday morning) and it was AMAZING! There was a meteor shower! This is the third or fourth time I have ran in the morning during a meteor shower and it still continues to take my breath away!
I saw about 5 shooting stars. I even turned off my headlamp and ran without it for a mile or so just so I could see the stars clearly! (plus it seems like everyone in the neighborhood to the right of me leaves all their lights on at night while the neighborhood to the left is completely dark! How odd!) It was awesome and such a great way to start my day!

I have always wanted to do something like this! Sign me up! Is that your tree? How beautiful! I can't wait until we put up our real tree after Thanksgiving!
Thanks for the link! :)
That sounds like a beautiful run. It makes running in the dark worth it, right? :)
The pictures of the Christmas tree are so pretty and made me smile!!
I'm in!
I'm super jealous that you got to see the meteor shower while running. That sounds like an amazing experience :)

Very jealous of your meteor shower! I had a breathtaking view of the sunrise this morning and it totally made my day!
WOW! What a great way to start your day with a meteor shower run this morning.
Please count me in for the exchange. What a fun idea!!!
I'm in. I love presents. I like to give them too. :)
YIPPEE!! Counte me in of course.. Will post about this tomorrow...
That meteor shower sounds so awesome. I love when I see cool things when I'm out for a run. It's a little bonus reward for getting out there early.
ooh Count me IN!! This is a great idea :) I Love it!!!
What a wonderful idea; I linked to you from Tall Mom on the Run - count me in!
ahhh this is SO FUN!!!! sign me up too!
please sign me up!!!
can't wait :)
also-- wasn't the meteor shower at like 1 am????? lol. i am guessing it lasted longer than that cuz you can't possibly go running THAT early (late?). yayyyy shooting stars!
Sounds fun! I would love to join! You gals are so creative! Thanks!
I love buying and receiving gifts! Count me in!
Sounds like a great run this a.m.
One side of you neighborhood is just more earth-friendly. Or else they asked their teen-aged children to turn off the lights...that way it (never) rarely gets done!
Sign me up too! What fun!
I'm new, Tall Mom, linked you! I'm a morning runner too, or I try to be =).
I'm totally in for the gift exchange too sounds like loads of fun!
The shooting stars were actually part of a meteor shower! I tried to go watch it with friends last night, but it was too cloudy and we only saw one. :(
what a cute idea! Another idea that a friend and I did a few years ago was to stuff each others stockings, because at my house, I do all the stuffing and then I'm never surprised. The idea was to fill the stocking for $10, and she did the same.
I'm in for the gift exchange!!
Sign me up, Please!
Ooh, sign me up please! I got her via Velma, but Tall Mom was next on my to read list LOL.
