HERE'S TO YOU THURSDAY

Hello all.  It's Thursday.  That means it is time for a HERE'S TO YOU post:)

Before we jump into the fun and frolic, I want to take a moment to remind you to vote for your favorite in Battle of the Bands.  This is the last Christmas song, so if you like Christmas tunes be sure to vote.  The voting will remain open until Sunday, Dec. 22, when the winner is announced.

I was on vacation last week and didn't post the weekly Thursday post.  However, when I went into my saved footage I had one thing there.  Hunh.  I spent quite a bit of time visiting your old posts in an effort to recall who this footage was meant for... to no avail. I believe the original post was written between Thursday, December 5, and Sunday December 8.  I considered just axing it, but then decided to post it and let YOU step forward if you think it was meant for you.  So, if it resonates with you, post the link to your post in the comments.  Thanks!!!

Another bit of something new on this HERE'S TO YOU is that there will be two videos for Everyone.  They are both Christmas-themed and this is the last chance to get them out before the 25th.

This will be the last HERE'S TO YOU post for this year.  I will be posting BOTB results on Sunday (along with anything else that is on my mind) and participating in 50 States of Pray on December 24. If you haven't signed up for that, but it sounds like your cup of tea, follow the link back to Mark Koopmans' page and join the Linky List.  I think he is still short 9 states.  Maybe yours is one of them!!!

If you don't know what this HERE'S TO YOU stuff is about, let me explain.  This is a weekly event landing typically on Thursdays.  The best (or worst) part is that I am not going to explain why I chose "whatever" footage for each of you. If, you watch your footage and are scratching your head at the end, well that means I didn't do a very good job. However, all is not lost. You can email me at rarichards68@gmail.com and ask me what I was thinking when I chose that particular piece of footage off of youtube and connected it to you. And then I will tell you. Then I will start sending up prayers that I haven't offended the crap out of whoever is on the receiving end of that email....lol. Because, honestly, I will tell you right now... I admire all of you enormously so I really hope that doesn't happen.

Also, this is not an exclusive venture by any means. I hope that you will take the time to watch ALL of the footage because I don't pick bad footage:-) I also hope that you might check out the blog of the person I dedicated the footage to because they are pretty darn awesome. If you haven't figured this out yet... I pick the footage based on something that you've written or something that I've gleaned from your personality. Think on that for a while... If you are having trouble watching the entire video (meaning it is being cut off on one side), click on it a couple of times and it will take you straight over to youtube. If you click on the four squares at the bottom corner of the video, it will enlarge it to fill your screen. The escape key will bring it back to normal size. The back arrow will bring you back to my page.

Now, let's get this PARTY STARTED!!!!
