Janell's Official Wal-Mart Countdown to Christmas Finale 2013

This Christmas something really awesome happened. The Wal-Mart Christmas Countdown was born! It was so much fun! Now that the countdown is complete for this year I thought I would include some interesting facts about My Wal-Mart Christmas Countdown! So here we go! 

Days until Christmas: 46
It all started with this photo! 46 day before Christmas! My family was at Wal-Mart (I know! no surprise there!) and my mom saw the countdown sign and said "Janell! Go take a picture with the sign!". I did obviously and that is how it was born! I was hooked.

Days until Christmas: 39
I almost didn't see this little sign , because it was so small! But I was on the lookout! All the signs were in different places, colors and sizes!

Days until Christmas: 35
By the third picture people started to comment on how i go to Wal-mart a lot. And already people are saying that they will miss me doing the countdown..by the third picture!

Days until Christmas
 I didn't always have someone with me on my Wal-Mart trips. So I would have to take them myself. Sometimes it took me up to four tries to get it right...or I would finally give up...people were staring like crazy!

Days until Christmas: 25
My countdown to Christmas went viral!! Not really but I stared seeing a lot of other people joining in on the fun! Here is one of them! Thanks Holly! 

Days until Christmas
Sometimes my trips to Wal-Mart are very exciting, but this day God totally set me up to minister to a lady there! Always take time to see what God is doing at Wal-Mat!

Day until Christmas: 20
By this time I really don't care what people think. It was kind of a freeing feeling! When people would stare (remember I was the only one by the signs most of the time!) I would just look at them and say "It's almost Christmas!" or "I just love Christmas!". People would just continue to stare! haha

Days until Christmas
I have now been given the title "Princess of Christmas"! Ah! I loved it! I also was told that Wal-Mart should pay me stock for advertising! I um love the idea!

Days until Christmas: 11
During the Countdown I visited 3 different Walmarts in OK. But never had anyone get my enthusiasm or share in my Christmas cheer!

Days until Christmas: 9
This was the only Wal-Mart that hung the sign up high! I had to get creative! I also didn't have my phone, so I had a friend take it with her phone! I am now called nuts too! haha yeah!

Days until Christmas: 5

I took this one twice...The first one I took I looked so tired and  not excited that I had to go back and take it again (you think I would have learned to look at my pictures!) I really loved it when I had someone to take the picture!

Days until Christmas: 2
Not only was I photo boomed by the lady on the display behind me I also had a guy ask if he could call me sometime! Haha whats funny about that one of my friends said "...As long as you aren't going to Wal-Mart to pick up guys...". Haha well...

Days until Christmas: 1
This day the Wal-Mart I was at had two different countdown numbers, even other stores had a different number on the dame day! This happened a lot actually!

Days until Christmas: 

And today is the day! Merry Christmas! No I didn't go to Wal-Mart today, this is the same sign from Day 1! I just moved the 1 over ...it's behind my head! 


And that is it ladies and gentlemen! Janell's Official Wal-Mart Countdown to Christmas 2013 is over! I had a blast doing it! I had no idea what it would turn into! Spacial thanks to my photographers Mom, Dad, Faith , Janae and Justin. And to all of you who followed my countdown! You all made it even more fun! 

Merry Christmas!!!

Days until Christmas: 364
