Holiday Spirit

For some reason I just noticed that this time next month I will be celebrating my 40th birthday. Its hard to believe as it honestly just feels like yesterday I was turning 30.

I also realized how fast Christmas is approaching with all the holiday commericals on tv and the huge publi sac (weekly flyers/advertising) was much thicker this week then last week.

This week I happened to notice that the Secret Santa sign ups are being posted and I decided that I was going to take part. I love getting things in the mail, other then bills and its nice to give back and share the love within the blogging community.

Last year was the first time I took part in the holiday swap and I had alot of fun doing it. You can click on here to see what I got.

The Holiday Swap form is posted and you have until November 14th to sign up.

This one I found via an email from Avis. If giving a gift is out of your budget this year why not take part in a Christmas Card Exchange? Sign ups close on November 11th. I have done Christmas card exchanges in the past and always had a ton of fun doing them.

To find out more info head on over to the Book Bloggers Holiday Card Exchange.

I discovered Jamie’s blog The Broke and The Bookish from her weekly meme Top Ten Tuesday that I occassionally take part in. When I saw this I decided that I was going to take part.

This is what I am taking part in this holiday season, what about you?

Do you know of any other exchanges happening? If so leave it in my comments.
