So, I am sure that you’re wondering what stripes have to do with you.  And honestly, the answer would be nothing, except for the fact that I wanted to write a post asking you, my readers, for some help . . . and I didn’t really have photos to go along with that post.  And these are some beautiful photos that I have not yet posted, so anyway, it all went together.

For the past two years I have featured a series called the 12 Posts of Christmas where twelve people each year have shared a post of their favorite sights, smells, sounds and songs of Christmas.  I’ve really enjoyed counting down the days to Christmas by reading about other people’s experiences and so, I ask YOU if you’d like to consider being one of the 12 this year.

Here is what I would (loosely) be looking for (but feel free to be creative and expand):

1 – In 3 to 4 sentences answer one of the following questions (or all):

~ When you think of Christmas, what are the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and feelings that come to your mind?

~ What are your favorite Christmas traditions and/or memories?

~ What does Christmas mean to you?

2 – What is your favorite Christmas song (either of all time or one you’re enjoying this year)

3- Please include a photo!

If you are interested (and pretty, pretty please be interested), I’d LOVE to post your Christmas story!  Whether we’ve been friends for years or have never met, all Life Writing readers are invited to participate.  Just shoot me an email at janie@lifewritingphotography.com and let me know that you want to be one of the 12 and I will save you a post spot!  Then by December 12th, send me your little Christmas diddy and I will get it all ready to post.

Thanks so much and happy (almost) December!

Janie
