    Love this message. Why save holiday cheer for only a short part of the year? If anything, this time of the year is most stressful and many folks try extra hard to be cheerful. Why not be happy and thankful in April simply because it’s getting nicer out? Why not smile a lot and thank a friend in June when making it to the first BBQ of the season?

    I’m not sure yet how I’ll keep the spirit in 2010, but I think just having my blog in 2010 helps tremendously. Meeting you and all of the great bloggers has boosted my spirits and helped me grow as a person. The lessons that you have taught are invaluable and I think being a part of this community will keep my spirits and cheer up all year long.

    Before I go, thanks for that awesome christmas sweater. Not 1 snow flake, but four! Also, the song and dance at the end capped off the video! Great job with this!

      Rich – Haha, glad you enjoyed the video. That’s one of my favorite sweaters at the holidays…I’m pretty sure I’m going to be one of those old ladies that convinces herself that the ugly Christmas sweater is pretty and fashionable. :)

      You are very right, the love and goodwill that you get from having a blogging community is great and CAN help you keep the spirit with you throughout much of the year. I’m so lucky and happy that you are part of mine!

    YOU ARE SO CUTE!!

    Happy/Merry Christmakwanzakah! I am so, so thankful that I met you this year. Every slumber party is like it’s own mini Christmas! You are a great friend, and I can’t wait to plan your CA trip so we can meet IRL (If Google doesn’t somehow bring me to Maine before that ;-)

    HEARTS GALORE!

      Jenny – OH. MY. GOD. I’m so glad to have met you too! I sent you a Christmas tweet this morning, in fact! I can’t wait to get out to CA yet either, I was just talking about it at Christmas Eve dinner last night. Thank you SO much for being awesome and you and stuff, and if you can figure out a way for Google to get you sent up to Maine sooner that would be AWESOME! :)

      Ryan – You are definitely one of the highlights of the friends I’ve made online in 2009 as well. I’m SO looking forward to working with you on the FreshKick Project in 2010 and some other things. And getting #ECTU up and running…I feel it’s an imperative for our little East Coast set. :)

      Good luck to you in 2010…I’m expecting and hoping for great things for you my friend!

    VERY CUTE VIDEO ELISA!! You are adorable! I am so glad we connected. Im truly looking forward to what you’re bring to Elisaswebb this coming year! Any more blogcrushes for me to stalk? hehe, jk.

    Cheers to a new year filled with love, smiles and less tears!!!

    PS. Love the sweater. It’s a shame I don’t even own one with a snowman at least :)

      Cheila – Aw, thanks! I went back and forth on whether I wanted to include the be-bopping around at the end, but heck…that’s who I am. A kinda dorky girl who dances around to fun and happy music. Hopefully anyone frequently the website knows that, or is willing to learn and accept it quickly. :)

      Absolutely hoping for bigger better things for us all in 2010…love, smiles and less tears seems like an excellent formula for that!

    First time I saw you on video. You’re not as awkward as you made yourself out to be.

    Like how I said “not as awkward” – teehee. Yeah, I’m a dick. Seriously, just giving you a hard time. Video was cute. And I would still wear a white shirt around you. (nobody will ever get that)

    Happy Merry ChrismaKwanzaaKkah…even though I’m late on it now.

    Ha-ha. Wait. I take it back. I posted that comment before I got to the chair dancing segment. ;)

    I still heart you, nerdy chair dancing or not. No worries. Jenny and I still are saving you a seat at the cool kids table.

      I’ll have you know that people thought my dancing was adorable. ADORABLE!

      But yeah…it’s me bopping around in a chair like the big old dork that I am. I keep trying to tell you I’m a dork. People really need to start listening to me on this one…
