Hi, I'm Jinglebelle, and I'd like to thank you for stoping by!
I really do appreciate the feedback and support I receive from the visitors of
Jinglebell Junction! You guys have inspired me to keep the site going, and growing.
So, let me tell you how Jinglebell Junction came to be THE merriest Christmas site on the web...
In October of 1999 I started building a little site I called Jinglebell Juction over at Homestead for friends and family
to share in the holiday spirit. I thought an interactive christmas site where we could
share recipes, traditions and such, would be fun and maybe help bring family closer
dispite the miles.
Well, let's just say I didn't get as much response as I thought I would.
Soon after, Homestead started charging their current customers for their free
web-sites. So I moved the site over to Yahoo! GeoCities. Seeing that Geocities had such
a huge community, I decided to send out the link, I left it here and there, joined a few
Christmas Yahoo groups, and a few webrings. Then I sat back and watched the hit counter.
Soon, I realized that it didn't have to be my family enjoying the site, bringing cheer to
anybody felt good. And it still does!
So the site remained over at GeoCities for several years until September of 2005, when Santa gave us an early Christmas gift... Our very own domain!
Later in August of 2006, the folks over at the Merry Network donated server space to Jinglebell Junction,
and I can't thank them enough! In addition to the gift of server space, they've also given Jinglebell Junction access to
Talk Christmas.com to use as our very own forum.
Special Thanks to Jeff Westover, who made it all possible.
What started out as just a small project has became my favorite hobby. Jinglebell Junction is not my job, it's my passion, I am purely in it for the joy it brings.
I'm trying to give what can't be bought, a little thing called Christmas spirit!
I sure hope you enjoy your visit and I hope you'll come back often. From here the site will only get bigger and better!
Merry Christmas to all!
