Welcome to the December 6 2008 edition of the fuelmyblog carnival. I had set the deadline for December 1st but life presented me with a few taxing challenges and I wasn’t able to compile it until now.  Now that Christmas is nearly upon us, all is well but I’m not sure when I should make the next deadline.  I know there are some great holiday posts out there just waiting.  Any suggestions for topics or deadline dates?

The entries below have a wide range and they represent the eclectic members of Fuelmyblog.  Use the submission link below for the next carnival details. -Damien, FMBlog Guest Blogger
