Default The 2nd Annual Send-A-Random-Christmas-Text Event!

Howdy ya'll,

Hope you've all been well. I've been keeping an eye on things, but I've not had much of a chance to post (or even take photos!) as I'm coming to the very pointy end of my Masters degree.

However, with Christmas just a week away, I thought I'd wish you all Merry Christmas and invite you all to join my event over on Facebook, or just participate if you're not a Facebookian.


The event? The 2nd Annual Send-A-Random-Christmas-Text event!


Details are over on the Facebook event page (which, if you're interested, I'd love you to go "attend"), but the gist of it is simple.

On Christmas Day, when you're sending texts to all your friends, write one out and send it to a completely random number wishing them a Merry Christmas.


Not everyone has the best of days come Christmas; a simple text message from a complete stranger might make someone smile just for a little bit and that makes the mission all the worth while!


Last year, I created the event and we had about 30 people join in. Some got replies; some didn't; I got a reply from someone saying it was the best text message they'd had for a while. This year, we already have over 1500 participants. It promises to be awesome.

Jump over to Facebook and check it out

The 2nd Annual Send-A-Random-Christmas-Text Event!



Thanks for letting me stir up a little publicity! And really looking forward to getting back on the boards here after the new year!
