Dancer (Ed)

Whoop, whoop and what a lot of reindeer bling! Ed's passed the 500 K milestone...and USUALLY that's where the bling ends....but this year...there just might be a different bling awaiting....keep going Ed! We're watching your meters turn into charity dollars every day! Well done!

Day 15 of 32... getting close to 50 percent!

26 Lunie reindeer in the herd!

Hooboy! Day 15 is already here ...and it's another day of overcommitting for me. Numbers were captured earlier today, but I claim little responsibility for this posting....hahahaha! As Spock would say, I am compromised....

Meanwhile, the reindeer meters continue to build as does our herd! Good work, Lunies! Keep going for the reindeer and reindeer bling!

Amerigo (Peter H)

Days before Thanksgiving arrived here in the US (and the Holiday Challenge began), Sinterklaas had arrived in the Netherlands. While there are similarities to Sinterklaas and Santa Claus, they are not the same character. I am not sure if that means that there is a two-fer type of seasonal holiday. Sinterklaas arrives on a white horse named Amerigo, and the Dutch festivities begin. A few years ago, Peter H claimed Amerigo as his "reindeer" but this is the first year that he provided a picture of Amerigo for us to use.

Similar to the Night Before Christmas themes in the US, the Dutch kids put out treats for Sinterklaas and Amerigo on the night before their main gift giving event - which appears to have been December 5th. Wait. It's ALREADY OVER?
