A Christmas Meme Hosted By Lilliput Station
Visit Lilliput Station Adventures to see the 2007 Online Christmas Party.
What Is The Online Christmas Party?
The Lilliput Station Online Christmas Party is a blog meme hosted by Melissa Telling of Lilliput Station Adventures. It is a way for homeschoolers (and our friends) all over the world to get together and share some Christmas spirit. It is a place to gather new ideas, new recipes, and maybe a few new traditions. It is a time of fellowship and fun, a time to share the love of Christ with all of our online friends. It is our way of making the season a little brighter for those we have never met, but still feel as if we know.
Due to the "busy"ness of the season, the Online Christmas Party took place during the month of November this year. Hopefully this gave everyone more time to participate and to do the neat crafts and activities that everyone has shared.
Congratulations to Our Door Prize Winners!

When Should the 2009 Party Take Place?
I moved the party from December to November this year because I felt that it would give everyone more time to complete projects that were shared before Christmas. However, this made it a little harder for those sharing the projects. So, what is your oppinion?
Merry Christmas, everyone!
