12 Days of Christmas // intro

Good morning, lovely readers!

Do you know what today is? Do you know why I'm grinning like a dork? Could it have anything to do with that pretty lil' graphic you're looking at and the fact that there are intro posts popping up all over the blogging realm?

Why, yes! As a matter of fact, today is the first day of the 12 Days of Christmas blog party! It's going to be an amazing and packed twelve days.

Before moving on, I just want to mention how much work has been and still is going on behind the scenes. We've been planning this since as far back as October, really working since early November, and spending many hours getting posts planned, written, and scheduled. So enjoy and let the bloggers know you appreciate them. :)

Here goes!


// bloggersFirst off, this year's list of bloggers. There are 24 blogs total this year—largest number thus far, which makes me pretty excited. :) If you want to make sure you don't miss a single post, you should absolutely go give all of these lovely humans a follow!
