About This Site
This site was created by me, Anne, as a holiday greeting to visitors from the Internet; I hope that you find it helpful and/or entertaining.
Answers to a few Frequently Asked Questions about this site are below.
Where do you get the content for this site?
For non-original material, I've tried to include sources when I know them. The quotes, cartoons, lyrics, etc. are copyrighted to their respective owners; no copyright infringement of any kind is intended. This information is posted strictly for entertainment purposes. No profit is being made. If you feel I've failed to credit you, please let me know.
Where did you find the ___ that you used in the layout?
Layout credits are listed on the links page.
Where is that adorable tag graphic that you used to have?
For a limited time, you can view it right here. Giving credit where it's due: the tag was found at holidays.momsnetwork.com in the Free Gift Tags section. I modified it *heavily* to its current form using the software Fireworks. See the next question and answer regarding using this graphic elsewhere.
May I use your graphics/layout on my site/webpage/whatever?
As noted above, the graphics and layout here are modified versions of someone else's work. However, if you use what I've done here, be sure to include the credits, and add a link to my site, since this particular arrangement *is* my idea. (And as always, DO NOT direct link to graphics.)
Will you advertise my (whatever) on your site?
No.
Will you link to my site/message board/whatever?
Before you write to request that I link to a site, please be aware that I do not do "link exchanges", or link swaps, or whatever else people might call it. Most of the email I get from this site is about that topic, so let me be clear: I *only* add links to sites that I find informative and/or entertaining -- and that typically does *not* include sites that are selling something. Thank you for understanding that I'm trying to have a collection of relevant Christmas sites.
How can I contact you?
I love to receive feedback from visitors about the site. Email me at
and be sure to include about your Christmas site in the subject line so that the email doesn't get filtered out as spam. Thanks!
I've written to you; why haven't you responded?
When a site visitor takes the time to write to me, I make an effort to write back. If you're waiting on a response from me, note the following:
- Did you include a clear subject line? If not, I may have thought the email was spam and deleted it unopened.
- Is the question already answered above? If so, I'm sorry, but I probably won't reply and answer the question again.
- Did you write to me at the address that is currently listed on this page? If not, the address may no longer work, so I never got your message.
- Did you write to me a few hours ago? I have a life - really, I do! - and sometimes I'm away from the computer for several days at a time.
If you followed my suggestions for emailing and it's been a few days and you still haven't heard from me, I apologize. Sometimes, especially if someone asks a question, I simply don't know what to say. So I put off writing to the person and before you know it, I've waited too long to respond. Please don't take it personally. I'm not trying to be rude; I'm just a big dork sometimes. :sheepish: Feel free to write again.
The Gift of Christmas website is a rusted-crush production, with grateful acknowledgment to the sources that have helped make this site and this layout possible. Thank you for visiting. Enjoy the site! A very Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
