|OK, here's my idea. Whether or not anyone takes it up remains to be seen of
|course!
|The idea is this. Throughout December (from 1st to 24th) I will endeavour to
|post one Christmas related picture a day in a kind 'Advent Calendar' type
|thing. What I need is that people should pick a day from the list below and
|put their name onto it. (I`m hoping the thread doesn`t get totally screwed
|up and have more than one person on a day, but if this happens I will have
|to operate a first-come-first-serve system and relocate anyone else onto
|adjacent days. After you have added your name to my list, send me an email
|containing your picture for the day (so that it is a surprise!) and I will
|put your pic up on or near the day concerned (my news feed may cause a delay
|on some of them, and I also may post a few on one day ... but I will try to
|remain as close as possible) along with some other christmas related object
|(christmas carol or something).
|
|Here's the list. Only one day per person to start off with please, but
|if there is a slow uptake then someone can grab some extra spaces!)
|
|Since the list isn't filling up very fast, I'll also take the first *unless
|anybody else wants it*. We really need to fill up the first few days before
|anything... after all, that's only five days away now... Everyone, you know
|you can do it - join up!
|
|Looking back in the thread I also notice that this list is missing David
|Palmer's claim on the 2nd - I added it...

I`m going to change the rules at the last minute! (Well, actually a while
after the last minute)
Email me your pics and your prefered day... I will slot in the ascii art in
my file and post the list myself with annonymous entries so that it will be
even more of a surprise.

The latest list....

There's still quite a few to go... email me at 
m a r t . a t k i n s @ b i g f o o t . c o m
and don`t post adding anything to the list! I`ll post an updated list every
now and then and the people/arts will remain a suprise.
Keep those pics coming at my email address ** NOT IN THE NEWSGROUP, PLEASE
**

Some people may have noticed the Advent Calendar postings in VK's chat
too... that's if you don`t mind VK?

Season's Greetings,
-Martin
