GAIA HOLIDAY GIFT GIVING SEASON

Some of you may remember that I gave a teaser that I have an idea for us for the December Holidays, Christmas, etc? I first mentioned it here.
And now it is time to share the secret.
We are going to have a "GAIA GIFTGIVING"! We are going to give gifts to one another. But you don't have to spend money on this nor go out and go shopping. We will give gifts to our friends of "links" of pictures representing what we would like to give them for our Gaia Holiday Season. Try to give gifts of pictures that you think the person will love and you can try to find this out by reading the person's profile and interests.
Those who would like to participate in this should create their own blog for others to be able to comment on and place their gift of a link to you. And remember to tag your blog with the word "gaiaholiday", one word. So that when we click, for example this, gaiaholiday, it will show who would like to participate in this giftgiving. So everytime you click on the tag "gaiaholiday" you would see who just participated and if you like you can give gifts to everybody even if they are not your friends yet. When you see somebody on your comments section who gave you a gift, give them a gift also. You can give anything even the moon and the stars and spread love, joy and peace. Try to give gifts to everybody if you feel like it in the pool for peace, camaraderie and friendship and FUN!!!
This is my official blog for this giftgiving so you can place comments of what you think about this and also come back and then place your gifts for me. Now I have a request to everyone who will participate. You can read the comments to your own "giftgiving blog" but do not open your gifts until Christmas eve or Christmas day, meaning do not click on the links until then. Then you can thank them afterwards in email, grapevine, comments to photos, and comments to their blogs.
I suggest you decorate your blog with any holiday decorations you wish to put up. You can write whatever you like on your blog but everybody who will participate to please copy and paste the "asterisks and the message underneath it" and place it at the bottom of your blogs.
You can place your gifts to me underneath my Christmas tree. Happy Holidays everyone.
Peace, love, joy, oneness,
Samme
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIPS AND PRESENTS!
*********************************************************************************************
For those who wants to participate copy and paste everything underneath the asterisks so other people who chanced upon your blog will know what's going on. Hi, this is my Gaia Holidays Giftgiving blog. You can give gifts to me for the holiday season by posting your gift on the comments section. For more information how you can set up your own, please read Samme's blog. Don't forget to tag your blog with "gaiaholiday".
Access: Public
Give love on Christmas Day and everyday. Peace and love to everyone.
blessings,
Samme
It does not matter what religion, spirituality or even if you do not believe in anything. The spirit for this gift giving is love, peace, unity, oneness and friendships.
Thank you,
Samme
Let the fun begin and shopping begin, in this case, let the “googling” begin!!! : )
Looking forward for your blogs and gifts.
thank you,
Samme
Thanks Samme… I may have to have you help me with graphics…etc… I'm not nearly as savvy with this type of thing… but I'm really excited about it.
XO
Kris : )
Just start googling for search terms such as “christmas decorations”, christmas trees, christmas, and choose which ones you like and just copy and paste those to your giftgiving blog. Email me if you still have questions.
thank you,
Samme
Oh Samme, this is the best gift I have ever GOTTEN:0)
I am in!
Love you
Thank you GAIA GODESS. Start making your own blog and tag it so the fun and gifts and interactivity can begin.
Samme
Are those LED lights on the tree? LOL Thanks so much Samme. WIshing you much peace and love during the holiday and always. XO
Hi Samme and Thank you for the gifts! So I'll read the manual so I can pass it on as well.
Here is my link:
http://authenticsoul.gaia.com/blog/2008/12/gaia_holiday_gift_giving?printable=1
Yayyyyyyyy! :-D
Have a Wonderful Season of Light, everyone!!!~~~<3
This is genius Samme! Can I share your idea on the Team blog when we get a bit closer to the day? This is awesome!
Wonderful, Samme!
Your Light is shining brightly and I accept your gifts of Love!
I will have to get creative and post a link.
In the meantime, be Blessed and Know that You are Loved!!!
Love, Light and Laughter,
Starseed
Samme, here's a gift that I think you will enjoy: reading Yoga Vashisht or Heaven Found online, while wearing this “modern traditional” [!] Indian shirt.
And here's my blog, duly tagged!
Great idea!
People could always donate to something like Kiva.org or another charity as a gift to a Gaia member this season, it seems like if anyone you'd gift this season would appreciate a donation it would be a Gaian. :)
Yay, I have presents already under my christmas tree. I promise not to peek or open it until Christmas eve or Christmas day. Thank you for now and you will get another official thank you later on and my reaction when I see the gifts.
Thank you Janet, they are not LED lights they are LEG lights (light emitting Gaia) LOL
Thank you Doug, you are awesome and a first rate artist.
Thank you GAIA GODESS, for my first gift.
Thank you Ariela, it is a wondearful season indeed. : )
Thank you Jessica, yes you may, we might get more people and then do more gift shopping (googling) and stimulate the “internet economy” : )
Thank you Starseed!
Thank you Meenakshi, namaste, you are making me excited to open my gifts as you have described them (but I promise not to open them until Christmas eve). I buy kurtas and have been given kurtas by my friends. I should take a picture of this one really pretty one.
Thank you WonderlandAlli, that is a great idea and I support Kiva.org. This is my page at Kiva.org, http://www.kiva.org/lender/samme3470
Thank you all again,
Don't forget to make your blogs. Don't worry about it might get pushed back as you write and post new blogs because with the link of the gaiaholiday on each and everyone's blog we will be able to see all who participated and will visit each and everyone. For yourself, you can post the link on your profile page for easy access to your own blog. Cheers and good tidings.

Samme My Hero ~ What a smashtastic thing it is when two slightly warped,(in the BEST way!) minds think the same thing! I have wanted to do this at PLAY POD, but have never got it in place, due to, well, a problem with my brain. Here you have DONE IT! i AM SO HAPPY! All during the Holiday Season I will play and send goodies here … perhaps when January rolls around we can move to PLAY POD and just keep going! It is such a magnificent concept! My kids have been doing it for years by making collages for each other of the things they wish they could give. It IS the thought that counts and this is a fantabulous way to give a thought! OK. Following what Samme has said, I will now put this up at my Blog. Here is MY FIRST GIFT … . Follow over to My Blog!
Sleigh bells ring are you listening … in the lane snow is glistening … a beautiful sight … we're happy tonight … walking in a Winter Wonderland … Gone away is the Blue Bird … here to say is a New Bird … We'll sing a LOVE SONG as we go along … walking in a Winter Wonderland! … . I LOVE THIS!
Here is my first gift to everyone … MY FIRST GIFT.
Samme,
There's one gift over here - http://yhd52754.gaia.com/blog/2008/12/gaia_holiday_gift_giving plus these things -

Hi Samme,
Ok, I have my gaiaholiday blog up :) http://buddingspritelet.gaia.com/blog/2008/12/gaia_gift_giving_and_peace_on_earth#comments
Now, as to posting a link for a gift, hmm, I see people can do one (see Kyle’s) so you don’t know what it is but my computer won’t do it, please help :)
I am opening my presents on Christmas morning;
Thank you Meenakshi, I love your gift. I will convert it to PDF file so I can send it to my Amazon Kindle Reader.
OMG Ariela, I love your gift. I am mesmerized!!!! Thank you. Muah.
Thank you Lori for your Poem gift. I opened it on Christmas day. I love it.
Thank you for your gift of a blog Doug. Wonderful.
Thank you Mikey. I love the song, the video and the message. I noticed that the artwork of one of the Gaians here, Renie, was used in the video. Thank you for your wonderful present.
Kyle thank you for your present but the video was removed by Youtube before I get a chance to see it on Christmas day. Can you tell me about it?
Merry Christmas to all and peace on earth. Happy Birthday Jesus.
Thank you to all who participated and for being here.
Samme

There you go. I found another source for it. :) Enjoy.
This is my gift to all over the holiday’s , and into the new year,
Merry Christmas, Samme http://media.photobucket.com/image/rainbows/dgafchic/rainbows.jpg?o=
