So, how does this work? It’s simple. Take photos of you, your loved ones, or a potted plant wearing antlers. Or all three, I’m not picky. Blog about it. Then, add your post to the Antler Up! linky below for a chance to win the ceremonial {fictional} crown of antlers and a $10 Starbucks gift card.
For reference, this is the kind of nonsense I’m talking about:
Now, it’s time for you to start thinking about showing me YOUR antlers. If you’d like to Antler Up! this year, the linky will open on Saturday December 10 and will last through December 20.
Since, I am biased and can’t be depended upon to decide which of your kids/selves/potted plants is cutest, I’ve called in last year’s winner Poppy from Funny or Snot to guest judge.According to Poppy she can be bribed with wine, chocolate, cash or wine. The entrant voted best antlers will receive a $10 Starbucks gift card that I swear I will actually send this year. If not, ask Poppy to send you hers.
Also, for reference, last night I received 8 tiny reindeer cakepops from Raleigh Cake Pops and they were delicious. They arrived courtesy of Surferwife, Booyah’s Momma, Amanda, Hutch, Sherri and, of course, Liz. They were delicious and adorable and perfect and stunts like this are why I cannot be trusted to judge a simple antler contest on my own. You guys rock and/or roll. Thank you, so much, that was awesome in ways I can’t explain.
Also, care to like me on Facebook? I’m feeling competitive since more people like my employer than me.






KLZ, Do they need to be the antlers on the headband or can I do something different as long as they look like antlers (they are not the real thing either)? Either way, I'm joining in. Just like to he a rule follower

I think it's only fair to tell you that I've been strategizing about this for weeks.
Oh, I'm already getting some wild ideas…
Man. I wish I had some antlers! I may have to go to Walmartz and disinfect some then wear em real quick.

Whoa! I'm the first to arrive to the party! That never happens. I'm usually the one arriving UNfashionably late!
Okay… Pretty sure I linked up to the current reindeer linky this time. {Geez!} I linked up a post I did earlier this week. It has a kick-ass reindeer themed idea for beer,wine,booze bottles if you're giving them as gifts.
Since more people like your employer than you?
Dude, you gots probs.
I forced my kids to wear antlers for Christmas card photos this year (or tried to – the baby pretty much refused), so this was a perfect opportunity for me to share!
What a cute idea!
I just read this and it made me cry. I needed to cry. Friends like you are so special. I'd buy you 900 cake pops if I could. And not just because I want to win the fictional crown of antlers.
Love it – so funny.
You guys are ca-ray-zee
Oh no! I missed the link-up!
