For some it may seem far too soon to be thinking about Christmas (unless, like me, it is never too soon to be thinking about the festive season!). However there is a rational behind my thinking! As you know the winning theme contest pic now features on the main page of our community, as well as our Facebook and Twitter pages. So by the time the pic has been voted for and a winner announced it would seem most odd to see a Christmas photo in February! Much better to see it for the month of December!!
So, dear members, do you see where I'm coming from? Good, that's settled then; the theme for October is... Season's Greetings! A theme intended to celebrate all that is good about the season to be jolly, and all in dolly form to boot!
The winning photo voted by members will now win a whopping $50 PRIZE!! Plus the winning pic will spend a month featured on our front page and be the public header for our Twitter & Facebook Fan Page too!
The 'rules' of the theme photo competition are very simple:
Tags: Christmas, October, Seasons greetings, contest, fashion doll, theme

Nilsa, you and I have someting in common. You grew up in the Philippines and now are in Texas, and I grew up in Vermont and now am in Thailand. We both get to enjoy different seasons, holidays and traditions in our adult life that are quite different from our youth.

Valerie and Nilsa I lived in Canada +- 20 years and now I live in Spain and sure thing the climate as well as the culture are different, but both of them so enriching.
I will always encourage friends and family to travel and live some place else to learn and appreciate other cultures. this make us so much more open

I'm from Panama, no The Philippines -lol 
Lilly, how long have you been in Spain??
I love the "pesebres" (Nativity sets/towns set up for Christmas).
