The 12 Days of Blogmas Contest, Day 3

We've just arrived at a hotel in Syracuse, New York, after 12 hours of driving, but for me to whip out the laptop and get ready to compose today's Google Images First Line of a Christmas Carol Win an iTunes or Starbucks Gift card blog post took less time than it took to type that.

So without further ado

1. look at the following images
2. figure out which carol's first line they illustrate
3. leave a comment in the box

and if you're the first one to get it right, you win a prize.

And this time I picked something a little more obscure. Because I'm a Christmas carol hard-ass.

The 12 Days of Blogmas, The Contest: Day 2

I'm celebrating the 12 days of Blogmas this year with twelve days of Google images. Every day I'm going to illustrate the first line of one of my favorite carols.

And it's a contest! Every day I'll award a $15 iTunes or Starbucks gift card to the first person who correctly identifies the carol.

And why? Because I'm an attention whore. And I love Christmas carols. And I take part in Blog365, so I blog every day. Whether I have anything to say or not. That's why.

So here we go. The second carol of the 12 Days of Christmas. First one to leave a comment identifying the carol wins. Ready?

The Twelve Days of BlogMas: a contest, the rules and day one

First of all, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good morning. We're done opening presents here at Buxom Hall, and I have a few minutes to fool around on the internet before it's time to cook the roast beast.

Some of you have been coming around here for long enough to remember the original 12 Days of Blogmas, where I blogged the 12 days of Christmas by illustrating the lyrics to the song.

And some of the posts were rather clever, if I do say so myself.

And then last year I did a Google Images version of the same thing.

This year I'm branching out. I'm going to celebrate 12 days of Blogmas with Google images, but instead of illustrating the Twelve Days of Christmas, for each of the twelve days, I'm going to illustrate the first line of one of my favorite carols. And I'm not going to make it easy by using an image that shows the word. (At least not in English.)

And to keep things interesting, there will be prizes. I'll award a $15 iTunes or Starbucks gift card to the first person who correctly identifies the carol. That's right! Free tunes or coffee!

And why? Because I'm an attention whore I wish you a merry Christmas. That's why.

So here we go. The first carol of the 12 Days of Christmas. Ready?

And now excuse me. I have to go play with my new iPhone.
