Though the BFD tree still glows
This week must come to a close
Thanks for joining with me
For this great BFD
Even though I've got a runny nose!

Our celebration wouldn't be complete
Without at least one more special treat
Of course he's no Scrooge
But our favorite Stooge!
With a limerick no one can beat

Actually, we have LOTS of special treats today! (No, Boba, not treatz. *sigh* I can't say no to you. Brb...)

OK, now that that's all taken care of, check out zachstarwalker's recent additions to the BFD 08 photo album:

Sith Lights
An Emperor's snowcastle
Capitol (Coruscant?) tree
Note the stunning tree topper. THANKS ZACH!!!!

Hansgirl sent in some photos of her BFD tree and decorations as well. What do you think, Boba? Can you, Sterling, and Squirtle all be friends?

Finally, the moment you've all been waiting for...

Part III of The Best BFD Pageant Ever. The journey towards the performance night is now complete!

And finally, the other moment you've all been waiting for...

MAD LIBS! I dug around and found these letters from when our blogging friends were mere younglings. So sweet, eh?

Please don't forget to check out all the wonderful, wonderful BFD entries out there. There are lots, which just warms my heart on this bitter cold and snowy day.

Ami and Darth Hiram have some great ones and even collaborated! Gotta love ami's blogservations and DH's laugh out loud song.

Galactic Babe has some great tunes, the artsy CDS is back for BFD (Happy 50th blog, CDS!), and Jedi Pug chimed in with a song.

There was also a BFD miracle thanks to Nob, a few super fun entries from the fiery redhead, Gidrea, and a really funny parody from usetheforce19.

Are we done? NOPE! R2D2 sings his song through Hansgirl

Who could forget Deej's bunch of songs and craft?

I think I got all the links, but if I forgot one, please smack me on the head & let me know! Or maybe just let me know, minus the smacking.

I was hoping to have a neat surprise of me singing a song like last year, but...well, I got sick. Yep, runny nose, cough, half a voice...I sound awful! I guess that just means you will have to tune in to the Force Cast next week. You might just hear me do a little somethin' special.

HAPPY BALANCED FORCE DAY, my dear friends! Hope to see you all back this time next year! Of course, we can celebrate the spirit of BFD all year long.

Forcefully,

JP
