Reindeer.....head for the sleigh...time to harness up!
Merry Christmas, everyone! I am hostess to my family Christmas celebration today (and I am presenting each household with a Christmas pickle ornament
) - and it is improbable that I will have time to do any updates during the day. Never fear! You will know that you accomplished your meters, and we will celebrate them in the next day. The reindeer herd will be presented when all the meters are in for the Challenge...as some are very close to milestones!

Wishing you all a wonderful Holiday Season, whatever holiday you hold dear.
May your pickles be a bright glass green, and full of Christmas cheer.

A pic of Mrs. Clause warming up yesterday ...
There was no need to see the monitor, just the Christmas pickle dangling off-screen.

Well done Loonies, a huge amount of meters rowed for charity!! I have the team raising over $470 and I would guess there are still some more meters to log. The holiday challenge really seems to get us in the mood.. a big thanks to K2 & AJ for providing the extra motivation, you guys are awesome. Bring on the Virtual Team Challenge, need to lose a few pounds after all this food... Steve W

Well done, indeed, Loonies. Those hard-rowed 2-4 cents really add up, don't they!
Eat, drink, be merry, and rest-up ... the Virtual Team Challenge starts in exactly one week (based on where I live)!
It's been a fun Holiday Challenge.
Marshal; Out.

Debbie R (ROBIN)
Debbie R, of Nottingham, also earned her reindeer - just uploaded the final meters I think! We're going to call her reindeer Robin, as in Robin Hood, since she is from Nottingham...and we couldn't name her reindeer Sheriff after the bad guy! Congratulations, Debbie, on earning the Concept2 donation and freeing your reindeer!
