Are you busy preparing gift and decorating for Christmas Day? During this special time of year it is all about family, friends, fun and festivity. The heaving table of food, the look on the faces of your family and friends as they open the gifts you carefully selected for them. It really is the most magical time of the year and we’d like you to share your Christmas with us. By using our IGG Blog you can record and share your merriment with us. And as a thank you for showing us your world we will be handing out some pretty fantastic rewards!
Event Rules
1. Write a blog about any aspect of your Christmas on your own IGG Blog (http://blog.igg.com/).
2. The format is up to you! The title and the content must be related to the topic.
3. To keep things fair, all articles in your blog must be original. If you quote content that belongs to someone else, be sure to provide a quotation and a link to the original author’s work. This will help us to avoid plagiarism.
4. Once you have finished your blog, please reply to this post in the IGG forums (http://forum.igg.com) with your blog address and the blog introduction. We also advise promoting your article. The better the post looks, the more likely people are to visit your blog!
5. Each player may add only one article on this topic in the IGG forums. If you decide to write more than one article, select the one that you think is best, and then share it with us!

The voting post will be published by the moderators, and the authors can then ask their friends to vote for them.
