My Son and Nephew. As you can see the presents are already gone.

I want to take a moment to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I am not putting together an email or video to say it, I’ve already gotten so many of those they are kind of annoying.

I did however just want to do some writing :). Christmas and the end of the year is a time for me to reflect. I like to see what I’ve accomplished, what goals I may have achieved, what I still need to do, and really just look at all aspects of life.

When it comes to this website I couldn’t be more proud, touched, motivated, and overall just happy with it. We have such an awesome community that have really bonded to and formed real friendships. Some people comment more on our Wall then their own Wall, it’s so cool to see.

We’ve come really far as a website and community. I started our Facebook page in May(ish) of 2009, since then we have gained 36,000+ fans and “likes“. In the last year alone we’ve almost had 1,000,000 visitors!

I’ve done my best to handle to growth of the site, so I hope in the next year we can really go out and grab some great sponsors, increase the freebies, as well as offer some great prizes for people to win. I already have some for next week, as well as our great friends from Blue Star Ointment that will continue our sampling program.

Whenever we get a potential sponsor, I do my best to get as much to give and offer as possible because you all deserve it. If they are offering one X, I am going to make sure I get at least 2 X’s if that makes sense.

And as you know when I can give something away I know you’ll like, I always do.
