Counting Down to Christmas

There’s only 42 days until Christmas!  Are all of your Christmas lenses from last year updated and ready?  Are your new Holiday lenses finished? 

Better step on it!  Santa and Black Friday will be here before you know it!

To get yourself motivated, take a look at this beautifully done Christmas lens by Giant Squid Greeter Christene.

Countdown to Christmas is about Advent, and counting down to Christmas with Advent wreaths, rings, calendars and the Nativity.  On the lens Christene explains the history behind each tradition and offers some beautiful examples using photos and product links.

In my opinion, Countdown to Christmas is a true Squidoo work of art and a perfect example of what a really great Christmas lens should look like.  Take a few minutes to visit it now and then get back to work.

Welcome Giant Squid Greeters

With so many great lensmasters joining Squidoo everyday we needed some help to make sure we didn’t miss anyone deserving of the Giant Squid title and can you believe it?   Not one.  Not two . . .  but three wonderful Giants came to our rescue. 

I’d like to introduce you to our new team of Giant Squid Greeters,

ChristeneThomasC and Noadi.

The greeters will be on the lookout for the next wave of Giant Squid Lensmasters who will be joining us on September 30th.

Please visit their lenses to say hello and to offer them a round of congratulations along with the screen names of any deserving potential Giants you come across during your Squidoo travels. 

Of course your Giant Organizers are still here to help you with anything you need as well.

PS:  If anyone has any Giant news they’d like to share by way of the Giant Squid Community Showcase (i.e. contest or group announcements, charity events, milestone accomplishments, etc.) please drop me a line using the contact me feature on any of my lenses and I’ll be glad to help you spread the word!

And the Winner Is . . . Christene
