That's awesome to hear! You'll find that the anticipation and the giving are the truly fun parts. Building is great- but any time you can have fun with chatting and fellowshipping and giving, it just gives you that warm feeling inside! Kinda like a double bean burrito with a side of guacamole.... LOL Let's review, so far we've cookies, burritos and guacamole.  Foods covered, what're we drinking?  Sounds like fun, I'm in.  Email inbound.

I think I have some scotch and tequila in the cupboard.

I've put in a request to the admins in Support and Feedback to help us out with the permissions to do this.  Also, it is a simple change to make a countdown clock one of the editing bar options, and BBcode even supports it with a built in code, and I've given them a heads up as to that option as well.  So, we'll soon see if this is doable.   Cheers, Alex

Cool! Lemme know how that goes!

Any idea of what the GB badge will look like this year?. Just had to ask. No burretos please. Steve

You know, I hadn't even thought of that! I better get to work in the workshop!

"Alright you elves! Rustle me up a badge!"

Okay, started thinking about what I could do for a badge idea. 

First thought was the GB name was too long to fit on the badge.

Second thought.  Oh my...  3rd A** GBA!!!   That won't do!

Ok, reading all you guys' posts I remembered the last years fun so I almost made up mind to parecipate, but I'll let you know my definitive decision.
In the meantime I have a badge proposal (will be resized if chosen):

Nothing definitive just a suggestion.

What do you think?

Al though im not participating (I just may, depends on my income in the next few weeks) That badge is teh awesomes.

That's an awesome idea Avus! I love it!

Two things- I agree on changing the color of the green text- perhaps something yellow, with the black outline? Also, can you change it to read "Showdown at the North Pole"?

I think having the larger size posted, plus a badge size, would be awesome.

Thanks so much for that my friend!

Awesome! Glad to have you back!

If your address & other info are the same, all I need is your preferences!

Avus - Fantastic group badge.  I like very much.  Such talent .  I'm envious of Santa's helper.

Jon - Can we shop yet.  Well at least look.  Shop - get plastic - use plastic.  Humm think the LHS will trade

Welcome aboard Avus.

PaPa-John

Email inbound Jon!

Thanks John!

This is the definitive and resized version:

Added a tiny green border and made the lettering more readable.

Sooooo, when do we get to open the presents?

Easy Papa-John, the earlier you start shopping the earlier the kids (DREW...) start snooping around in your closet!

Excellent looking badge! Very nice work Klaus!

 Got quiet here! Hmmmmm are we tiring of the Christmas Hype already?  I have been looking at the list of names thus far just thinking of what might make a good gift for whom.

It's a hard life being Santa in September...........
