Join Us for the Virtual Holiday Party & White Elephant Gift Exchange

You are cordially invited to the 2nd Annual Runners' Lounge Virtual Holiday Party!

Another year has passed.  Whew!  It's been stressful.  We have supported each other all year through training, races, injuries and weather—we are one big bundle of neighbors and friends.  So it only seems right that we gather again at the holidays to share some good cheer. 

Since it is virtual, there is no schedule shuffling, driving in bad weather or even the required new holiday outfit.  Come as you are, drop by a holiday greeting, pick up some good cheer.  There will be virtual holiday food and drinks!  Feel free to overindulge—all of it has zero calories!  The party starts now and goes until the end of the year.

It's easy - here's what you do to join in the festivities:

• Drop by the Holiday Party Lounge Group on Runners' Lounge, and join the Forum "Holiday Greetings and Cheer".   
• Drop off a note to your RBF's (Running Blogging Friends) in the Forum.  If you have already pasted holiday greetings in your blog, make sure to include a link to your holiday posts as well.
• Throughout the days of December, stop by, chat with the RBF's, exchange well wishes.

It's easy, it has no pressure and should leave you with a happy holiday greeting. 

'Tis the Season for Re-gifting

With the lousy economy, plus others' poor taste in gift giving, there's no better time for a White Elephant Exchange than this year.

Here is how it works: Take a picture of that horrible present from years past that you just can't part with.  Or grab a photo of something online that you can't believe people buy and give to others.  It's virtual - so there is no spending limit.  In fact, the only limit is your imagination. 

Share your gift as part of your TIaRT post!  The gift you give goes to the person who posts their TIaRT link right after you.   If this is anything like last year, this exchange will add a whole new dimension to the phrase, "it is better to give than receive."

We have seen the workings of your very creative minds as well as your ability to find crazy things online—so we can't wait to see your gift offerings.

We know the holidays can be stressful, so we hope this adds a little fun and cheer to this busy time of the year.

Happy Holidays!

Now, let's get this party under way!
