Every Time Santa says HOHOHOHOHO, it scares the crap out of me.  The little jingle bells in the background aren't so bad, but if you have your speakers up, well...he's capable of making you jump. :-O

I thought I'd throw in one last tutorial for the year! lol Here goes....

1. To turn santa and volume off

2. Hover mouse over santa

3. A mini Santa will appear in the upper right corner

4. Click on the "Shhhhh" and he will stop laughing.

5. Enjoy the rest of these days in the countdown to the New Year 2009!  :-)

Sorry I had to remove the HoHoHoing Santa from this post, it was driving me crazy.  I kept hearing it as I was roaming around the network, every time my page would load, it even started up a couple times on your pages!!  lol~  Thanks for all the seasons greetings and Holiday Wishes, I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday regardless of religion, politics, or taxes. 

This is a time of giving, receiving, and sharing.  I hope we all get to experience blessings that are both meaningful and memorable.  :-)

Thanks everyone for the Holiday wishes and comments, pictures, ecards, emails, personal cards, letters, voice mails, and hand written notes.  This was by far one of the best Holidays for the Andersohn Family ever!!  GB!
