Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHONEver been to a party where you haven't had to leave your own home? Ever been to a party where someone else makes your favourite dish? Ever been to a party where you meet people from all over the world? Ever been to a bloggers' e-party?
No? Well, there's always a first time. As I said yesterday in the post Party Politics, it's time to join in the inaugural Great Big Aussie Christmas Bash. It's an e-party for everyone.
It's going to be held on 27 December, by which time everyone (yes, even a big Texan friend of mine!) will have recovered from too little sleep, too much exertion and too much indulging in the spirit/ spirits of Christmas! Because of the huge time difference between Australia and those of you who live on the other side of the world in Canada and the US, this party will go for almost two days.
All you need is your mouse, an internet connection - and you're part of the party.
I'm still fine-tuning the details, but as Katherine said: "Uh-oh, an Aussie with an idea!" She'll keep me on the straight and narrow, I'm sure.
Let me know your party suggestions and watch this space ....
Have no party suggestions. We will be heading to Warsaw for the regional office's Christmas dinner on the 12th. I've never been to Warsaw and to have the opportunity presented with plane tickets and a 5* hotel...I feel really special. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, looks like I'll be back from Oregon in time to join in on the fun!
ReplyDeleteI have no real suggestions though. I'm not in a very creative mood right now.
But I look to forward to what some of your other smarter readers come up with!
I will pop into the cyber party and so will the "Mice"( sorry that's another story) Having just travelled to South Africa and come back somewhat exhausted I will be glad to travel the length and breadth of the world enjoying a Festive party without having to endure another aiport ( not keen of flying)
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you
Blossom
Bye the way I use a Canon EOS300 and a 350D love both of them, but I still like my old film SLR'S for Black and White.
Will have a think!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
Hmm...I'll have to think about it more, but the two things right off the top of my head would be to post photos of holiday decorations in your home, or write about one of the most memorable holiday parties a person has been to. I'll have to think on this longer. Sounds like fun no matter what everyone decides on!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynn will be delighted to attend. What fun! I suggest that all your guests bring a virtual gift, money no object or importance.
ReplyDeleteHi Isadora,
ReplyDeleteNo THAT is one office Christmas party to remember.
How wonderful to be able to visit such a beautiful city.
Keep smiling
David

Hi Melissa,

All will be revealed .... stay tuned!

ReplyDeleteSounds like fun - I don't know if I'll be back in time to participate, but, if I am, I'd love to attend.

ReplyDeleteTwo Days?! That's all? I'm going to drink everyone under the table. I'm Canadian - I have a reputation to uphold.
