It's the return of the Secret Santa Spin Cycle!!!!!
(cue applause and confetti*)
(*applause and confetti may not happen for all users, void where prohibited, may cause rash in some states)
Is there a blogger whose updates make you squee with joy whenever you check your Google Reader?
Is everything they say just the funniest/ most poignant/ dare I repeat this story in mixed company? thing in the whole world?
Does your spouse or significant other know exactly who you're talking about when you refer to this person by first name and quote them as if you just got back from coffee together?
Well, then this Spin Cycle is for YOU.
All you have to do is email me a list of your favorite bloggers, no more than 5 please, and I will email you back with your assignment so you can start composing your most unique holiday card ever. Then we'll post everything up by the 23rd (2 weeks from now) (once the Spins start sleighing in, I'll post a round up so we can start reading them immediately) to help get everyone's Christmas spirit higher than egg nog ever could!
This is a great way to Spin nostalgic on your favorite Spinners and even introduce them to readers who've never read them before.
(I'm totally stealing the rules I set on a Secret Santa Spin a few years ago, but hey, if it's not broke, don't fix it, right? And if I'm taking it from myself, it wouldn't be stealing, would it? More like repeating..)
1. Email me with a list of 5 blogs you enjoy at spriteskeeper[at]live[dot]com
2. I will email you back with the your assignment. (This is to make sure there's no duplicates.)
3. Write about why you like that blog! Link up your favorite posts!
4. When you post it (please post it by December 22nd), make sure to link up in my comments and also let the honoree know you wrote about him or her and you will BOTH be linked up. Do you want to make some blogger's day? THIS will make their YEAR.
Remember, you must email me with your list by Wednesday, December 21st to get in on this game. Starting next week, I will email those already playing with their blog choice and by Christmas, we should have a huge blogosphere hug! (And cookies if anyone can figure out how to bake and ship virtually.)
So set those stockings to Spin!
Yay! The Spin Cycle is back!
