The Christmas season is upon us. So are the flyers, store ads, gift requests, secret Santa exchanges, and bills.

Life as a Christian Woman is hosting a blog carnival on balancing the Christian message of Christmas with the materialism. Where do you draw the line? How do you and your family keep your hearts on Christ on your hunt for "the perfect gift"?

The deadline for entries is December 9 with the post going up on December 10. To enter, visit www.lifeasachristianwoman.com or submit through www.blogcarnival.com. If you have any questions, contact me at aprilfreelance@aol.com.

Your blog does not have to be Christian in nature. But your post should focus on the Christian spirit of Christmas.
