December Website Update

December is here and it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas on the
Playground!

Okay, not really, because it never snows in Alabama in December and I don't
foresee me having the time to decorate the swing set, but we *are* gearing
up for the holidays and part of that includes the last update (and
newsletter) of 2010!

First of all, many thanks to all of you who came to celebrate our 5th
birthday. I can't remember what life was like pre-Playground, so each
birthday is special to me, and I (and all the other Playfriends) are truly
honored you spend time with us in our corner of cyberspace. ~fans eyes~

Ahem.

So, updates. Yeah.

First off, Angel collected al the Playfriends holiday sanity-saving tips and
posted them in School. We hope they help!

And if you really need some help facing the holidays, I'll point you back to
the Clinic Archives where Counselor Shelley weighs in:

and

Next, pop over to the Sandbox and meet Meagan Hatfield, who was definitely
one of the highlights of the Orlando RWA conference for me:

Our Book of the Month is one that's near and dear to me (and not just
because I'm listed in the dedication) - Pamela Hearon's THE TIMESTONE KEY:

No guest bloggers this month because we're all too busy, but never fear,
we're lining up great guests for 2011. Keep an eye on the sidebar for
updates. But the blog will still be hopping all month long - if for no
other reason than at least one of us will be near a nervous breakdown at any
given moment. It's kind of amusing at times.

On behalf of Insti, SP, PM, and Angel, I wish you a very happy and safe
holiday season - whatever and however you celebrate at this time of year -
filled with fun, friends, family, laughter, and love.

I remain,

The Problem Child
