25 November 2012

While we're talking holidays, who's up for a 2012 version of the December Musical Giftstravaganza? →[More:]

What's the Gifstravaganza?
It's a seasonal-music gift exchange happening every day in the month of December, for all MetaChatters to enjoy and contribute to if they like. History here.

How does it work?
We each sign up for a day, or two or three. When your day comes around, you make a post featuring a favorite seasonally themed song. Music from/for all traditions and no particular tradition are all welcome.

Last year we posted songs via DropBox, but if you have a better option please let us know. Best if your link is inside the post. Your 'liner notes,' personal reflections, video and info links to go with the music are also very welcome.

Once we get rolling I'll create a thread which can serve as the 'archive' of all the 2012 Giftstravaganza posts.

Where do I sign?
Here's the list for 2012. Please copy the previous commenter's list, add your name to the days you want, and post.

I'll kick it off on Dec. 1 and take one other date, to start!

Cool! Just 4 days left to take. They're open to anyone, even if you already have 2 days. It would be great to fill all days. We can use this thread to keep track.
