Coming to your favorite blog: The Yankee Blog Swap. New to me is the term "Yankee Swap" which is a gift exchange game I've played for years but never knew what it was called! Guests all bring a wrapped gift which is placed in a gift pool. Each guest chooses a gift in the order of numbers given. Each gift is unwrapped as it is chosen and displayed for all to see. The next number may choose from any opened gifts or from a new one in the pool. Number one gets to choose from all of the unwrapped gifts at the end.
Because the name was new to me, I conjectured that Yankee was because we're all from the north (but we aren't). Then I wondered if it would be like a swap meet, where my junk becomes someone else's treasure. Regardless, our blog Yankee Swap will just plain be fun. Jonathan Dalton from Arizona will partner with me in swapping blogs. His entry will be published here on December 19, along with a little Arizona sun, and mine will be published there. My readers will get a taste of Arizona real estate and his will get a taste of the great Northland. Let's hope for snow by then so those sun people can appreciate what they've got!
Bonnie I fixed it. Thanks for the heads up.. Working on my post now..
