Santa's 2nd Gold Award Ever!!

2008-08-25T18:47:00.000-07:00

Ho Ho Ho Everyone

Well today is a special day. As you all know I wasn't able to login here for many months and during the time I was away there was one person in particular that kept my Community Blog going as a co-author. Her effort was very much appreciated and well worth the highest award I will ever give.

Till now I have only awarded this particular award to one other person and that is Paula from Paula's Playground. Now Paula is joined by a second blogger who has achieved Santa's Highest Award and that person is Kimmy from PurpleFrogCat.

Kimmy is a person who is always willing to help others and seems to have more time on her hands than anyone should have even with 3 children. Only kidding Kimmy... I know it's just because you are very organized. I want to thank you for all you have done and by giving you this award I hope you understand how highly I hold you and our friendship. You are truly a kind and giving person and that is what this award is all about.

Well done and Congratulations. You deserve it!!

As always,

Santa's First Awards for 2008

2008-01-06T19:18:00.000-08:00

Ho Ho Ho Everyone

The new Year is well underway and things are almost back to normal. It seems like forever since Christmas already and we are all back to work preparing for the next big day.

I have decided to start the new year by handing out some awards that I have been meaning to give for some time. Unfortunately all of the problems at the end of last year made that very difficult. I will fix that now and it gives me enormous pleasure to recognise the following blogs as Santa Certified.

Mimi Lennox from Mimi Writes
Carol from My View of "IT"
Sam Chan from Acquire Wisdom and Live with Passion
Jeremy Jacobs from Corporate Presenter
Bud Weiser from WTIT Tape Radio
Heather Dugan from Footsteps
OlgaTTB from Olga the Travelling Bra
Drowsey Monkey from Drowsey Monkey
Terry (mee mOe) from When Life becomes a Book
Michelle from Cool Steals and Deals

The Santa Certified Button is not an award as such. It is more an endorsement from me personally that your blog is one that I feel fulfils the standards that are acceptable to Santa. These awards are not passed on. They are my personal endorsement and as such are given with my personal thanks and encouragement for your wonderful contribution to our Blog World.

Please feel free to display the Santa Certified Button on all of your blogs. The code is available at the top of the left side bar. Welcome to our growing family.

If you wish you may also freely display the button below.

Congratulations to you all.

As always,

Santa ô¿ô

Santa will be Handing out New Awards soon.

2007-12-31T03:35:00.000-08:00

Ho Ho Ho Everyone

Happy New Year 2008 to all of my wonderful friends and to those of you who are new visitors who are soon to be friends.

With the start of the new year I will soon be looking to award many more of you out there in Blog World. On my travels about I find so many wonderful blogs and it is always a pleasure to recognize those that really catch my attention and live up to the things that matter to me.

Keep an eye out for me as I travel about and hopefully soon we will meet at your home.

Happy new year to you all.

As always,

Santa ô¿ô

A Message from Santa Claus

2007-12-20T16:20:00.000-08:00

Ho! Ho! Ho! Everyone

I want to apologize to everyone for not being online much lately. It is an important time of the year when Santa should be here and I am very aware of that.

Unfortunately, there is a person here in BlogWorld who seems intent on making sure that I am not part of the Christmas Season here at MBL this year.

Every time I log on, or check an email or anything I am immediately targeted and then have to go about fixing my computer yet again. Si far to date I have had to reformat my hard drive 5 times and then reload and configure all of the software. Each time seems to be different and it sometimes takes me days to get back online.

Just a word to the person doing it... I know who you are and so far have resisted the urge to publicly discredit you. It is not my nature to be negative or revengeful but it is nearly at the time when I will be forced to name you in the hope that that will stop you from this continual harassment that you seem intent on.

All I want to do is bring cheer and happiness and peace and joy and love to all of you at this special time and it hurts me more than I can say that I have been continually stopped from doing so.

I intend to stay online as much as possible but if I disappear once more unexpectedly you will know why and I do apologize for it. It's my job as Santa to bring the Christmas cheer to all of you and it hurts me to be unable to do that properly.

May Christmas be that special time that you expect and may all of your wishes come true. Please remember though the true meaning of Christmas this and every year is to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Christ child. That is what Christmas really IS all about.

Merry Christmas to all of you and thank you for your support and loyalty over the past few months. It has been a wonderful experience.

as always,

Santa ô¿ô

Santa Certified Site to Floyd Craig.

2007-11-15T03:21:00.000-08:00

Ho! Ho! Ho! Everyone.

It is always a wonderful thrill to recognize and award someone who just obviously deserves all the accolades that they receive.

One such blogger is a man who inspires many and that I think stands out like a beacon that shows what this place should be all about.

That blogger is Floyd Craig from Floyd's Secrets of the Earth and Floyd's Ancient Wonders. How I love to visit these blogs. The pictures just blow me away they are so stunning.

Floyd, it is with much pleasure that I now give you my Santa's Certified Button for you to proudly display on both of your blogs. This is my way of saying that if these blogs are good enough for Santa then they are good enough for you and believe me quite a few people listen to Santa ☺

Congratulations Floyd. The pleasure is all mine in presenting this to you. The code for placing this on your blog is at the top of this page.

As always,

Santa's Gold Award

2007-11-07T03:18:00.000-08:00

Ho! Ho! Ho! Everyone

For some time I have been wondering where do I go next with awarding those few individuals who are giants here in BlogWorld.

There are some people who not only have such brilliant blogs that are interesting and funny and as well as inviting and like a home away from home but they are also individuals who are giving and caring and have all the things that I appreciate and admire.

Once such person is Paula from Polliwog's Pond. I don't know if this award is even good enough to recognise the goodness and kindness as well as the wonderful personality that Paula shares with us here but it is my small attempt to do so.

There will be no more awards that i will make in the future. This is as good as it gets and will stay that way. If you end up with one of these then you will have no doubts as to how you have affected me here in BlogWorld.

Paula, thank you for everything you do here for so many people. I'm sure there are many here who appreciate you as much as I do. Thank you so much.

As always,

Santa ô¿ô

Santa's Award 4 Excellence

Ho! Ho! Ho! Everyone,

Today I want to recognize some new inductees into my Santa's Award 4 Excellence Club.

As I have previously stated, this award is one that means a lot to me. I don't award it for what you write or how nice and fancy your blog looks or anything about that. This award is for who you are. It is given from me... to you from my heart. I can't be any more personal than that. As with all my awards they are not passed on. They are all personally from me. That's why they have my face on them.

My next awardees are:

Bob from Bobbarama

Sandee from Comedy Plus

Surjit from Gurushabad

Colin (Cotojo) from Life

JaniceNW from Twist and Skewer

Judy from Sugar Queens Dream

George from OS9USER

Kesa from The Little Aussie Cynic

Congratulations to all of you!!! I hope you all display your award proudly because it is given personally to you from me with my thanks: just for you.... being you!!

As always,

Santa awards Mimi Lennox

2007-11-04T19:58:00.000-08:00

Ho! Ho! Ho! Everyone

For more hours than anyone wants to remember over the past few hours there has been a small group of people online promoting Peace. A wonderful thing to do.

Mimi from Mimi Writes is the Founder of the Peace Globe Movement ~ Dona Nobis Pacem ~ BlogBlast For Peace.

If you visit Mimi you will find a mixture of crazy, thoughtful, fun, serious, flighty and deadly serious when it comes to her passions.

It has been a long time since I have done this but firstly I am giving Mimi my Santa Certified Button that she can proudly display on all her blogs. Her blogs fulfil the things that are important to me and I am happy to to award this to Mimi.

Secondly, I award Mimi my Santa's Award 4 Excellence. For those of you who have seen me award this before you will know that it doesn't happen very often. This award is special and given only by me to those that i feel live up to the Spirit of Christmas. Mimi is a giver.

Mimi I want you to realize that in giving you this award I am giving you of myself. This is personal and given from my heart for who you are.

As always,

Santa ô¿ô

NoDirectOn: (not No Direction)

2007-11-01T23:32:00.000-07:00

Ho! Ho! Ho! Everyone,

Today is my great pleasure to highlight another wonderful blogger.

Jos from NoDirectOn (not: No Direction), Marketing Review , OgenDicht/Eyes Closed and co-author of Santa's Community Blog has shown himself to be giving and caring about others. He is quick to lend a hand or to suggest never ending ways to improve the work of others.

I am very thankful to Jos for the times he has been more than willing to play a part in the Santa Community Blog. I know the inconvenience and the time taken to do things like that for others and Jos has always been willing to lend a hand. He continually has new ideas and is very quick to pass on his welcome advice.

Jos, It is my privilege and honor to highlight you here today. If there were more people like you here in BlogWorld it would be a far far better place. You have my thanks.

As always,

Santa ô¿ô

Code for Updated Santa Certified Button

2007-10-31T20:36:00.000-07:00

Ho Ho Ho Everyone.

I decided it would be easier just to place the code here for you to help yourself if you want to upgrade your existing button to this new one. If you want you can use both Ho! Ho! Ho!

New Button for You and I Need your Feedback

2007-10-30T04:00:00.000-07:00

Ho! Ho! Ho! Everyone.

Since I stared this blog recently I have noticed a few things that I have found very interesting.

Firstly, as you can see I have produced a new Santa Certified Button. If you would like to upgrade your existing button to the new one please ask me for the code and I will get it to you straight away. It would be a pleasure.

Secondly, I have noticed that a lot of people who are featured on this blog as either owning a blog that is Santa Certified or as having been awarded personally with Santa's Award 4 Excellence have visited and then left without joining to become a member of this site. I would be interested to know why? Is it because it has no interest to you or possibly because you have no idea what it is about or some other reason. If you would like to let me know I would appreciate it. You can post anonymously if you wish but it would be nice to know.

The purpose of this blog is to highlight people who I have previously awarded. To do a posting about your blog and give you some free publicity and linkage. I do intend to post about every single one of you and decided that the fairest way to do it would be to write about you in the order that you join this blog as a member. However, if no one is joining it makes it difficult to do this. The funny thing is that with every blog I have previously started I have people joining up by the dozen each day and this has always been the case. Ironically when I started this blog which is specifically for people who i have already awarded I am meeting stony silence where no one comments about anything and only a trickle of people have joined. I find this very confusing. Please help me to understand and if there is something you don't like let me know and we can make it more to your liking.

Please give me your feedback. i would really appreciate it.

As always

Bloggers with Integrity Award

2007-10-30T03:19:00.000-07:00

Ho! Ho! Ho! Everyone.

I know this award is a little out of place on this blog but it was awarded specifically for what is being done here.

Our good friend Little Aussie Cynic has created a new award and passed it onto some very deserving wonderful people. One of them was one of our other wonderful friends Ann from a Nice Place in the Sun who has awarded me this award for having Social Conscience.

It has been a week of awards and for that I am thankful.

To be honest this week has been a hard week for me with many problems that have come along. I try to deal with these things quietly without any fuss. In the middle of all of this some wonderful people have seen fit to raise my spirits by giving me some wonderful awards.

I want to thank you Ann. It is very much appreciated and I love it.

Polliwog's Pond

2007-10-27T16:27:00.000-07:00

Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Everyone

When I first started this blog I wanted to find a way where I could highlight everyone on an equal basis with no favoritism so that it was all fair.

The best way I decided was to make sure that eventually I would do a post about every single person whose blogs that I have certified or who i had personally awarded with my Santa's Award 4 excellence.

To be even more fair I also decided that I would do the posts in the order that people join as a member of this community. Then your position is up to you ☺

Today I would like to recognize and thank my wonderful friend Paula from Polliwog's Pond, Carnival of Good and Polliwog's Stumbles.

Paula is a continual source of amazement to me. How on earth do you juggle six children and yet have time to even turn on a computer let alone do three blogs and also to be the source of friendship, courage, happiness, laughter and inspiration that she is to many of us. Every single time she passes by through Blog World and I see her beautiful face I always feel happier and calmer and just more at peace with the world just by knowing that she has spent even just a few moments of her precious time to visit me. How blessed I am.

Paula you make this place far better by being here. I read in one of your posts that you don't have any clear idea of your purpose for being on this world. If only you could see what we all see. Then you would know. We all thank you for being part of our lives. Thank You Paula.

Eric Receives Santa's Award 4 Excellence

2007-10-26T01:50:00.000-07:00

Ho! Ho! Ho! Everyone

Now that we can all see and really appreciate those who have been recognized here I will be able to award more wonderful bloggers out there in BlogWorld.

Who knows how many will be awarded. This will be given to those who really touch me with who they are, rather than what they write about. It is my personal thanks for giving of themselves.

Over the past month I have visited many blogs. Some that are old favorites and some that are new fantastic finds.

I would like to award one particular blogger who appears to many to be rough and tough yet a real treasure if you watch him. Over the past month I have been watching closely and noticed that under the rough exterior there is actually a shiny, sparkling and wonderful center like a diamond in the rough ☺

I would like to award Eric Folstad from SpeedCat Hollydale. He is a true gentleman who has inspired me with his giving and caring nature. He is funny and witty and yet can make you stop and refect with his wonderful stories amd memories. I could not think of anyone more deserving for this award.

I want you to realize that in giving this award I am giving of myself. I want to thank you Eric!! You make this a far better place.

The Little Aussie Cynic

2007-10-25T21:35:00.000-07:00

Ho! Ho! Ho! Everyone.

Another wonderful part of this new blog is to make it easier for me to Award new Blogs and Bloggers as I continue my search every day.

My first new recognition goes to The Little Aussie Cynic. Until recently it was believed that she was a koala but we have since learnt that the koala is actually her cousin and unfortunately he can't type. Naturally we should have all realized this in the first place. Of course... I did ☺

So .... It gives me great pleasure to present our friend from Australia with the Santa Certified button to display proudly on her blog. This is recognition that what you do lives up to the standards that fulfil the spirit of Christmas.

Well done Little Cynic and welcome to your permanent place on this site.

Zubli Zainordin

2007-10-25T17:07:00.000-07:00

Ho! Ho! Ho! Everyone.

Welcome to the new home of Santa Certified Bloggers and those awarded the Santa Award 4 Excellence.

The purpose of this blog is to talk about those of you who I have awarded personally or whose blogs have been Santa Certified.

Our first member and hence the first to be highlighted is Zubli Zainordin.

Zubli is the author of the following blogs:

Who is Zubli Zainordin?
Book Project
Your Wisdom of Total Happiness
The Total Life

and Co-author of:

Santa's Community Blog
Hall of Fame Blog

I have grown to be very close to Zubli in the few months I have been here in BlogWorld. He is almost like a right arm to me sometimes and is Santa's official helper. He is always ready to assist when needed and always full of enthusiasm and happiness even when times are tough.

He admits to me sometimes that mostly what he writes has very little content. However, does that matter when what he does is talk about people and promote them and forever put others on a pedestal. That is the spirit that I awarded. Someone who puts others first and knows that by helping others he will inevitably help himself.

Congratulations Zubli. I sense that you have only just started and we have much much more to see as time goes on. I hope I get to share that with you.
