My Contribution to Christmas
Woman in the Middle | December 15, 2016On December 21, 2013, I posted about a “Very Fun Christmas Game” that my family and I have played for several years with friends at their Christmas party. It involves wrapping a little gift in many layers of wrapping paper and then trying to get that paper off while wearing oven mitts. The person who gets the last layer off wins the prize.
Little did I know I was making my lasting contribution to Christmas with that post. Go ahead. Just google “oven mitt gift game” or some thing like that. You will see Woman in the Middle and that post pop up. With the phrase I just mentioned, my post was third.
I told you about how the views of my blog went out of control in April when Prince died, due to a post I had written about seeing Price open for the Rolling Stones back in the day. That is nothing compared to the hits I got last month and now this month because of the oven mitt game. Unfortunately, none of those folks seem to stick around and become my new blog buddies. But I hope they enjoy the oven mitt game. It is a whole lot of fun!
Meanwhile, I feel like I can’t ever stop this blog. How would people get through all those Christmas parties without directions for the “oven mitt Christmas game?”
Recently I saw that searches for “toe cleavage” had the biggest number of hits for my blog. It was an obscure post about a topic not related to my regular blogging. Like your visitors, they were disappointed at the normal Pablum and never returned. For your game, I can see myself throwing in the gloves early on as I have no patience!
I enjoy providing the game and I enjoy watching everyone else enjoy the game. But I know what the prize it so I don’t care otherwise! BTW there are dice involved. You have to roll doubles in order to get a chance at the package with the oven mitts.
