Hey MuchacHos,

First and foremost, Happy Birthday to…

Dani, wildone123, TruthyBaby, jstar, redstar, Tommycat, regan, Muse, Ciarin, PinkSkullMami, BrittanyJ, Ravenous, Miz_B, Twisted, zwkamom, restless, ClairRaeCarmen, OLIVIA JANE (she’s 2!), Enitsirc, AshleyTEENmomma, Metamorpho, poprocks, LUCKY LADY, Punkymama, kaceysmom, C.O.G, Queen of the Written Verse, Fiestamom, mochitransfer, sky, and nyx! May your upcoming year be as good as or better than the previous!

We have had tons of good news, bad news, downright shitty news and Fucking OMFG great news! In fact, we’ve had so much happen this month, we bet we’re forgetting a lot, so if we have, please don’t feel forgotten! Let us know, and we’ll note it in January’s letter.

Sam (Crazy Raccoon Lady) and crew went to Tokyo and had a bit of a scare, but overall had a great trip. She shared her photos! If you missed them, go find them, they are super fantastic! Sarah (Muse) is about to pop FangFang out (and trust us, she agrees, it’s about damn time!). It snowed in Seattle and we’ve got lots of new jobs floating around… and oh so much more we can’t keep up. Heather (Hellkatmom) got a much needed new fridge for free. Peggy (peggy420) and Tiffany (hardcoretiff) both got new cars (man, can the car fairy spread the love please???)

Lisa (Lisamariemary) set up special page proclaiming the awesomeness of Punky Moms: http://punkymoms.isreallyawesome.com/
Go check it out and spread the word!

The Secret Winter swap appears to be going wonderfully - there have been lots of happy mamas posting hails to their secret stalkers for wonderful gifts. We’ll be setting up a schedule of swaps throughout the year, starting in January, so keep an eye out for that post! We’re hoping by having set swaps, everyone can participate who wants to, and it will keep flakers to a minimum (minimum, in this case, being equal to none).

Don’t forget to add your favorite holiday recipes and traditions in the Christmas Forum!

If you’re low on plaudits and feeling lucky, join our weekly football poll . Winners get 250 plaudits! Also, don’t forget to enter the raffles! The first place winner gets the goods, but second and third split the pot 60/40!

We’ll have a new contest for a baby carrier from Close2Me Baby (oh, it’s a nice one too!), I am really excited to give that away before the holidays! We have a onsie from TheeBasketBootique, which will also go before the holidays. December is a great month for prize goodies!

Jenn has redesigned our front-front page, take a look! It may change again soon, but didn’t ya know? Blue is the new black! (Or she might just be a tad bit crazy in the head about blue, either way, right?)

We will be adding content by the ton to our site in the coming year! Articles on breastfeeding, bottle feeding, both feeding, baby carrying, co-sleeping, crib sleeping, vaccinating, not vaccinating, ear piercing, partying it up with a toddler to worry about… Oh the topics are endless! Want to contribute to our little project? You can view the entire thread here but here’s the skinny:

We have a new goal. We want to add one page of content, real content, to our main site, every day for the year of 2007. One page of content is 500 words or more. That’s about five paragraphs, real quick n’ easy to punch out! Need a topic? Check out the board forums! Or pick a topic we don’t have a board for, whatever! It can be 500 words or more worth of prose about the hilarity of a shit covered wipe stuck to the wall, we don’t care!

Your article will be proof-read, but otherwise unchanged, and added to our main site (PunkyMoms.com) and viewable to the general public. Your work is still your own. We will put a Copyright [YOURNAME] on it. We only ask that if you have previously published your work, it be legally available for us to publish. We will also send you a document to type your name into once you send your article to post. We are not in a position where we need this now, but it would suck to have to retro-actively search people down for this, so we’re doing it as we get submissions. Just be aware that by electronically signing this, you give us the rights to publish your article on our site and in our archives and possibly in our Zine.

Please send all articles to admi...@punkymoms.com as a text file, word doc, paste it into the body of your email, or whatever. Please no PDF’s. You can include images if they pertain to your article, but please send your images separately, not embedded in the article. You can send in as many articles as you want. We’ll post reminders about this periodically so it doesn’t fall by the way-side.

Last but not least, have a fantastic holiday, whichever one you celebrate. Make it merry, keep it safe, and remember to donate a little time or a little money or even just your gently used clothing or household items to charity this holiday season and all seasons. Have a great new year, and don’t forget to make more Punky Moms time on of your resolutions!

Love,
Winter, Sarah & Jenn
