I’LL HAVE A BLOODY MARY, A STEAK SANDWICH AAAND A STEAK SANDWICH

Easier than writing lots of individual emails

AWARD SEASON

Briefly, I had NO idea that my post on Christmas Letter  Pet Peeves would provoke such a response from so many senders of Christmas merriment.  However, it did and now I am left with more responsibility!

So, in honor of tonight’s SAG awards, the cancelled Golden Globes and the pending Oscars, I will be hosting my own award post for the top 10 card/letters of 2007!  However, before I present it to you, the reader, I need help with
1) what the name of the awards post should be (like ‘Oscar’, ‘Dunndie’, etc)
2) I’d like to hear category/award names (’Best ____’)

Just wanted to let start the marketing campaign that the awards are coming soon (just like the Oscars)…maybe I’ll post them on the same night as the Oscars. 
It’s like the Christian alternative to ‘Halloween’ is ‘Harvest Fest’.  Except different.

It is amazing how many people have confessed to me that they are intimidated and afraid to send Christmas cards lest they be criticized on your blog :)

I suggest the awards be called “the Sammies”

Categories could include:

Most popular template
Best gettingmultipleunderage5kidstolookatthecamera
Most creative Bible verse
Most blatant disregard for Sam’s rules
Best post-Christmas card
Family who most looks like the one that comes with the picture frame
Family who least looks like the one that comes with the picture frame

And you should have a “Hall of Shame” for anyone who includes their pet in the photo and in the list of names, e.g. “Merry Christmas from John, Mary, and Fido Smith”

Can we be added to a category via the web? Say we posted a Christmas card on the our blog, does this count?? Or did you have to recieve it physically? If so, please send your address so we can send ours over ASAP! :) The Pera’s want in on the fun.
P.S. Hi Sam! Long time no see!

what about the ‘advent awards’ or ‘noel awards’ since using ’sammies’ as the name would preclude you from coming up with awards for any other life topic. what if you decide to give out philanthropy awards next year? i think you had better save ’sammies’ for something else…
i like Eric’s categories above. nice!

I’m still waiting for this…. Every night I check my google reader with anticipation, and am mournful when it doesn’t come.
