"The Secret - Advent Calendar"

Gotcha! It 's not what you think it is :)

However it is a "Secret" and it is an "Advent Calendar" of sorts .... or at least it is intended to be .... or to work like one. Once compiled it will be a present for the local Childrens Hospice (or anyone else for that matter). Stay with me on this, and I will explain.

Yesterday, in this blogg I expressed the fact that I have been suffering from serious "Attention Disorder" - failing to pay attention to things that make my soul sing. So today I allowed a little time for me - that's all it takes - and came up with the following idea (there are others that have made me smile - but one thing at a time).

Traditionally, in the lead up to Christmas one window of an Advent Calendar is opened to reveal something of delight.

I want to create an Advent Calendar that works in reverse! As a community we put something of delight INTO the calendar EACH day. Some snippet of humour, short, maybe single line entry, or even an amusing cartoon, anything that tickles your fancy (all copyright free of course) and together we create a Calendar full of "Crackers" (funny quips) that will cause a bit of laughter when opened and shared.

This Calendar will then be available (I might need some help here from IT literates out there) to either raise funds for your / my chosen charity or simply to be brought out at an approriate time during the festive season or thereafter to lighten someone's day.

My intention is that an email book of "Christmas Crackers" is produced that I can use to offer to the local Hospice for them to raise funds themselves through their own efforts and networks. This book will include "crackers suitable for adults as well as children" simply because we actually never really grow up - we just pretend.

There is only one rule. Before submitting an entry ask yourself this question:

Would LOVE submit this entry? ....... and listen for your answer.

If any doubt exists then simply ask again but this time specifically ask:

Would LOVE DEFINATELY submit this entry?

That's it.

Oh and the reason why this is  "The Secret - Advent Calendar" is because only The Universe knows how it will turn out! {{{{{{{{Ho Ho}}}}}}

p.s. I definately will need some techie assistance on this. Any offers?

p.p.s Oh and tag like mad if that makes any difference [it's new to me so I have no idea of the effect tagging has but it reminds me of a game I used to play when I was a child - - - only last week :) ]

Now called "The CHUCKLE CALENDAR" - see tomorrows entry for reasons.
