Dear Blog Friends -
I am so excited to begin preparing for Christmas! I love the holidays! I love planning for Christmas and the joy of gift giving, cooking, spending time with family and special friends, and most of all recalling the gift of Jesus birth.
In order to fully and completely enjoy the holidays, I have decided to take the ENTIRE month of December off from my blog! If I feel led by God, I may do a post, and if you follow my blog you will receive notification of that. But unless its God's plan, MY plan is to take the month off.
Please continue to visit me at my Examiner page. I will also be making guest contributions on December 2nd, 16th and 30th at the Titus 2 in Action blog. So visit me there as well.
I pray you have a joyous, wonderful and special Christmas. May you remember that Jesus is the reason for the season!

Enjoy your time with JESUS and your family. You are loved.
Merry Christmas.
Hey Kelly!
I hope you enjoy this month as you look to the celebration of Jesus' birth. I'll be breaking, too, at the end of next week. We need to do that now and then!
May the peace of Christ rest upon you as you enjoy this time of preparation.
Love you,
Karen
I can totally understand this hiatus, as I had to do the exact same thing- only a bit earlier to accommodate the planning and executing of several family celebrations to honor our son, who is visiting from California. He leaves tomorrow morning.
It's been so much fun to have him around here for the past 10 days.
See you after Christmas! Merry, merry.

You have been on my mind. Hope your blog vacation is fun! Merry Christmas Kelly!
Hey Kelly, before I take time off line myself I wanted to wish you and your precious family a beautiful CHRISTmas and New Year. I look forward to all the "chatty" things you share with us in 2010 dear sister. Your words bless and uplift me as does your heart for the LORD and your family.
Much love.
Just wanted to stop by to wish you a most blessed Christmas! I hope you received the little package I sent you.
Merry Christmas bloggy friend! May you be covered in the love of Christ!
Merry Christmas, and enjoy your time off.
Merry Christmas! I hope you had a very enjoyable Christmas with your family!
Your blogcation is almost over. Have missed you!
Aw, come on! Your blog ROCKS! I have gone through it all the way and back again. I will miss you so much.
Merry Christmas from your invisible reader,
Friend
P.S. I'll miss your Kids Say posts a lot too! They are adorable little angles who have a wonderful way with the world!
Oh sorry, I meant to say angel, not angle.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS times infinite!
Oh, did I spell anything wrong?
I....
think....
I....
(whoops, I meant to put invisible reader up there, not I! sorry... back to the mystery message)
could...
do....
this...
for....
a...
while!
Just like that person at Sue's blog!
So, I wish you a merry Christmas Chatty Kelly.
Alright every body, huddle up and talk in whispers. We are going to post as many long or short comments as we can wishing Kelly a merry Christmas! EVERYBODY DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING! If nobody posts a comment by tomorrow, I'll do it for them. The biggest amount of comments I've seen was over at my friend Sue's blog. She had 145 comments on one post, and we're going to beat that. The comment-a-thon ends on New Years Eve at 12:00. So ready, set, GO POST SOME COMMENTS!
Merry Christmas Kelly!
Make some wonderful memories with your family!
Merry Christmas + 1!
Looking forward to reading your posts again!
Merry Christmas, Kelly.
I love your blog, Kelly, and I hope your Christmas is wonderful.
Hi! It's me, Invisible Reader again with some important news. Those people who just commented on your blog? Julie and Popop? I know their true identity. They are really.... ME! I take many forms, being an Invisible Reader...... look for more names coming up!
What time is it in Texas right now, Edie?
OK EVERYBODY, SECRET COMMENT MEETING TIME!
Good news, my fine bloggy friends! We have reached 60 comments. Now we only have.... um, let's see... wait one sec while I get a calculator... I call a five minute break!
The meeting returns....
Hello everybody. According to my calculations, we need 84 more comments to reach our goal of over 145- and our goal of making Chatty Kelly happy over the holidays!
And a special congrats goes out to MyAdhdMe for making the third comment.
Don't forget- this is a Christmas greeting place, not a chat room! So Ediefan (whoever you are), NO ASKING ABOUT THE TIME IN TEXAS!
Thank you, and have a very nice day.
Sorry, Invisible Reader. I really want to look up the time zones!
Then go to Google! Oops, what have I done! This place is a greeting station, not a chat room! Like I said at the meeting. Oh,darn. Kelly can't find out about the meeting! Her Christmas comments are a surprise! Oh, today is not my lucky day.....
*******INCOMING MESSAGE***********
Two things:
1.Ediefan is really me. I just want Kelly to get some more Christmas comments!
2.Merry Christmas, Chatty Kelly. Love the family photo!
This reminded me of the time I invaded ADHDme's blog with comments! Glad I'm not the only one who is this "creative" (crazy.lol)
I will...
do my...
part for a...
few comments...
Merry...
Christmas...
and Happy...
New Year...
to you and yours!
SECRET COMMENT MEETING
hello again everybody. this is the one and only invisible reader. it is 7:45 on new year's eve which means that the comment contest to get above 145 comments will end tonight at 12:00, which is about 5 hours away. then it must be known to chatty kelly what we're doing. I don't think she's ever had this much comments!
Stay tuned for part two of this last minute meeting! Now, a commercial break.
gimme a break. gimme a break. break me off a piece of that KIT KAT BAR!
SECRET MEETING PART 2
If I did the math right, we have 69 comments to go. I think we're capable of doing that. Us bloggers are a powerful force who always have a say!
Stay tuned for part 3.
COMMERCIALS
buh buh buh buh buh, i'm lovin it!
PART 3
1. I am Invisible reader, not i.
2. HAPPY NEW YEAR KELLY!
3. EVERYBODY COME TO THIS BLOG. NOW. JOIN IN ON THE FUN. POST A COMMENT AND WISH THIS WONDERFUL BLOGGER AND WONDERFUL FRIEND A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!
okeverybodytimeisupforthecommentthing!
Whoops, that was waaaaay too fast.
Let's try that again, but slower.
okeverybodytimeisupforthecommentthing!
i SAID SLOWER! gOSH, HOW CAN YOU GET ANY ATTENTION AROUND HERE!
Oh, and sorry if that comment was really sloppy.
What I meant to say was.....
OK everybody time is up for the comment thing!
Because, as you can see....
It is 2010!
And even though we didn't meet our little goal (ha ha, little) of above 145 comments....
We probably will with this extremely long post-contest meeting of mine!
So now, we must write a long letter to Chatty Kelly explaining what happened.
Excuse me.
January 1st, 2010.
Dear Chatty Kelly,
What were you doing on New Year's Eve?
Were you throwing a party?
Making New Years resolutions?
Watching the ball drop?
Or were you checking the comments on your post titled "Merry Christmas?"
If you were, you may have noticed that the blogging community has produced a hefty sum of comments for this post.
You might ask, why?
You see, it all started a few days before Christmas.
We all know what a great blogger and great friend you are, and we wanted to thank you by giving you over 145 comments!
We held secret meetings.
We made up disguises.
We
even
did
comments
that
trailed
on
and
on
.....
So, merry Christmas Kelly.
And, we'd also like to thank the following people for helping us....
Greg.C from the blogs Happiness and Greg's General Store!
Wylie from Shout a Joyful Noise!
Andrea from Arise to Write and All God's Creatures!
My ADHD Me from Monkeys are Funny!
Lea, best known from Shabby Olde Potting Shed!
Carmen from Bubbling Springs and Random Things and Beyond The Fringe Crafts!
Diane from That's what I'm Here For..
Sonya Lee Thompson from Titus Two In Action and Truth 4 The Journey!
Edie from Rich Gifts, Rich Gifts Blog Design, and Titus Two In Action!
AND EVERYBODY ELSE WHO HELPED!
Sorry I didn't have time to type everyone's names... We got back from a trip and need to unpack! NOW!
A Friend,
INVISIBLE READER
P.S. Merry Christmas
ATTENTION ALL COMMENTERS, THE COMMENT-A-THON IS OVER. REPEAT, THE COMMENT-A-THON IS OVER. ANYBODY CAUGHT COMMENTING ABOUT CHRISTMAS ON THIS POST WILL HAVE TO WRITE 23 APOLOGY COMMENTS ON THIS POST. FALIURE TO OBEY THIS LAW WILL RESULT IN BEING BANNED FROM THIS BLOG. REPEAT, BANNED FROM THIS BLOG. THANK YOU, AND HAVE A NICE DAY.
Well, now that the comment thingy is over, this place is a chat room!
What time IS it in Texas, Edie?
Does Chatty Kelly know what we've done?
If you have the answers, type um' in!
Chatty Kelly does know. :-)
Attention, everyone!
KELLY KNOWS!
Party on..play that funky music...
Hi. I JUST STOPPED BY AND FOUND OUT I MISSED THE COMMENT THING! UNFAIR! THIS INVISIBLE READER PERSON IS CREATIVE...
Yes, I am very creative. CJ, what's your blog address?
Who is the invisible reader? Will you ever become visible??
My blog address is www.csdgpro.blogspot.com
No, Chatty Kelly, for I represent all those who read blogs who remain silent. Yet I have an identity of my own, that must never be revealed....
Yeah, right.
Passing through...
Loving The Blog..
Who are you, Invisible Reader?
STOP IT! OR I'LL HAVE TO QUIT MY JOB! STOP IT!
(sobbing noises)
What is your job?
What's yours?
HA! Nice try, Invisible Reader. You and I both know that I'M A KID!
Oh My Gosh! 10 comments more and we'll meet our goal!
CJ, do you really want to know what my job is?
Yeah!
Really?
Yeah!
Oh, whoops. Breakfast time! Um, I'll tell you when I'm done. See you!
(door slam)
Darn!
WAIT A MINUTE. You said that you would tell me about your job yesterday, and you never did! So tell us!
Now, no need to bully, girls. I will now tell you the story about my job.
My name, as you may know, is Invisible Reader. I represent all those who read and follow invisibly, those who make unpopular blogs popular again.
I have a job that I thoroughly love. Every time somebody has something special on their blog, I stop by and fill up their comments page with comments of love and sweetness. I have just gotten this job, so I don't have time to stop at yours.
I, too, have my own identity. But it remains secret amongst the sea of blogs and chat. Yet one day, in the near coming future, my real identity shall be revealed. And it just may become one of you. We will wait and see....
So anyways, that is my job. I hope that one day, some of you will go into disguise and work alongside me to make someone's day a little brighter.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE ARE AT ABOVE 145 COMMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And they say you can overdo it...
Beat that, Sue! BEAT THAT!
OK. New goal. 200 comments. 3. 2. 1. GO!
Great job, Invisible Reader! I hope you visit MY lonely blog!
49 more comments and counting!
I wonder if Sue can beat that...
This place is turning into a chat room!
I thought that was what you wanted...
I once was one who sat in trees,
Who loved to feel the morning breeze,
A song of life, a song of hope,
A song of woven skipping rope,
A song of summer, song of fall,
And all that passes through us all,
The snowflakes sang, the birds would tweet,
On the little window seat.
And then a voice called me inside,
I knew I had nowhere to hide,
A shadow's blackened groping hand,
Taught me to do things I can't stand.
The ways of light and remotes and dials,
And yet all I could do was smile.
It carried me like a newborn breeze,
And I forgot about the trees.
But if I listen, right or wrong,
I hear the fragments of a song.
