During December 2007, a number of genealogy bloggers participated in the Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories hosted by Thomas MacEntee on his Destination: Austin Family blog (click on the Day of the Month - unfortunately, the images aren't there any more). Each blogger wrote an article around a meme for the day. It was great fun, but a lot of work. One of my reasons for writing these posts was to leave my memories of Christmas in an organized way for my progeny.
Rather than waste bandwidth duplicating the posts every day (since nothing much has changed since last year), I'm just going to post them week-by-week, along with my little original doggerel for each day.
The first week of Advent posts include:
Day 24 - The Christmas Tree
On the 24th Day of Christmas,
I'm supposed to talk about the Christmas Tree.
Day 23 - Christmas Tree Ornaments
On the 23rd day of Christmas,
Christmas Tree Ornaments are the rage.
Day 22 - Holiday Foods
On the 22nd Day of Christmas,
My holiday thoughts turn to food.
Day 21 - Christmas Cards
On the 21st day of Christmas,
my true friends sent to me
a Christmas Card from their family.
Day 20 - Outdoor Decorations
On the 20th day of Christmas,
my neighbors gave me a treat,
they lighted up the whole darn street!
Day 19 - Santa Claus
On the 19th day of Christmas,
I have happy thoughts of
visiting and being Santa Claus.
Day 18 - Christmas Weather
On the 18th day of Christmas,
I want everybody to know
That it doesn't snow (much) in San Diego.
More next week! Enjoy.
If you didn't participate in this Carnival last year and you want to blog on the memes - go for it! Your progeny will appreciate it, and your colleagues in Gene-Blog-world will enjoy them.
