Tweet Popular Products in Books Mark Billingham - Death Message From $20 Michael Abadie - Shiny Side Up: Motivati From $13 The Bottom Line It's never too early to get in the holiday spirit. "...every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas' on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. He should!"      -Charles Dickens, "A Christmas Carol" I love all holidays, whether I personally celebrate them or not, and I love the Christmas season in particular.  "But it's too early for viewing and reviewing Christmas movies," you say.  "Bah Humbug to you," I say.  By reviewing seasonal items now, one can enjoy receiving (hopefully) bountiful hits on them throughout November and December, when these things are most often searched for.  Having these reviews on hand also helps the Epinions database attract more users during these critical holiday months. For these reasons, I am encouraging folks to post early and often, getting as many seasonally relevant reviews out as possible by December 15, 2009, the end date for this write-off.  My personal goal is ten, but you may be able to do even more. Your reviews need not be Christmas related.  Feel free to write about Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, or anything else you celebrate this time of year.  General "wintery" things are A-OK too! Some ideas include for holiday-oriented items to review include: -A favorite holiday film -A food ingredient you always use in your Thanksgiving dinner -A hotel you stay in while visiting Grandma for the holidays -An online store you use to order supplies for your New Year's Eve bash -A holiday-oriented tourist attraction -A sparkly, party-perfect beauty product -A great gift idea (submissions to the November write-off count!) -A festive holiday music CD The possibilities are endless! Writers are welcome to cross-post entries with the other write-offs going on at the moment.  The Twelve Ornaments of Christmas Write-Off seems like a particularly good candidate. After you post a review, just come back here and add a link to it in the comment section.  Please also post a link to this main W/O page so others can join in the party! Happy Holidays!
