There are a lot of great bloggy things going on for the holidays! If you look on my sidebar, you'll see A Bloggy Christmas with Oh Amanda, Chilihead's Holiday Shopping Carnival, 5 Minutes for Mom's Christmas Giveaway, and maybe a couple more. These are going to be fun and useful resources for the holiday season!
My idea is a little bit different, but hopefully just as useful! Presenting... drumroll, please...
This carnival is not for all the wonderful things you've found for gifts. I want to hear about all the useless, ear-splitting, messy... insert negative adjective here... gifts that you will warn us about. This is a "what NOT to give" carnival.
Now, the suggestions can be from personal experience, or simply something you see marketed to unwittingly annoying people. If your friends and family read your blog, I suggest you not include the case of moon sand your Aunt Mildred gave your kids last year. Also, exclude the sweatpants your grandmother found for your 2 year-old with "hot stuff" written across the behind.
So what do you think? Fun, huh? Are you in?
The first installment will be posted on Tuesday, November 20, with a Mr. Linky here at Real Life. Write your post on your own site, then come here and link directly to your "My Least Favorite Things" post.
If you subscribe, you will definitely not miss it!
I think this will be more fun the more people we can get involved. If you would kindly like to publicize this on your blog, here is the code for the button:
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.reallifeblog.net/2007/11/not-just-another-christmas-carnival.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s14/juddsarah/LeastFavoriteThings.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /></a>

For newly married men, I would suggest NOT to give your new bride a fire extinguisher. That just says way too much about your confidence in her cooking abilities.
Oh, no he di-int!
This is a great idea! How funny!
Very fun! I will be there!
Great idea! ... And I'm with you on the Moon Sand :P
This sounds fun!
I've been looking forward to join a blog carnival, this will be my first time and I'm pretty sure I will enjoy it. Thanks for coming up with this great idea. What a way to let our friends and family know what we don't like for Christmas.
Oh by the way, since this is my first time, how do link directly to your "My Least Favorite Things" post? Sorry to bother you with this, thanks anyway.
I too am clueless on how to link, can you enlighten me? Thanks!
I've updated the post to include instruction on how to link to this carnival, as well as link directly to your "My Least Favorite Things" post in the Mr. Linky.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to comment or email me!
Super Cool...
I will mark this and re-read again when I can follow the directions, This sounds like... a carnival of fun!(pun intended!)
ehehehe
I'm a nut!

Great idea! I just added the button.
