Announcing the first ever Wives of Faith TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS BLOG CARNIVAL! If you’re a blogger, you’ll want to participate in this fun countdown to Christmas for military wives and help you get in the Christmas spirit!

Starting Dec. 12, we will post a new Christmas topic each day through Dec. 24, Christmas Eve. There are just two basic rules to participate.

Rule #1: write a blog that goes along with our Christmas topic for the day and comment under that specific day’s topic with a link back to your own blog post.

Rule #2: Include a link to Wives of Faith in your blog post.

Write every day for 12 days or for how ever many you want, but each time you comment on the Wives of Faith site during our TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS BLOG CARNIVAL, you’ll be entered to win in our daily drawing for some really great gifts! And we’ll be giving away something every day for those 12 days so the more you participate, the greater chance you have of winning something!
