Firstly, I would like to say thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to vote for me in the Expats Blog contest. It means the world to me, especially at this time of year when everyone is busy busy busy!

I am currently in a very close second place and the competition closes today at 9pm GMT (3pm Mexico time) so every comment counts (eek!).

Winning this competition would mean the world to me. For me it isn’t about the prize but more about gaining increased visibility for Mexico Retold, which will allow me to continue dedicating my days to promoting Mexico and sharing blogs, photos, videos and quizzes with you guys!

Having the support, interest and interaction with all of you, make it all so worth it!

So if you have a second to vote by leaving a comment under my article (and then confirming it via the email you will be sent immediately- could go into your Spam folder)I would be so very grateful. You can find the contest entry here. If you would also like to share the article with your network, facebook, twitter or email that would be amazing!

Could I also ask, if you have left a comment, that you check that it has appeared, apparently there are a few comments still awaiting confirmation.

As a present from me to you, check out the Mexico Retold Mexico Christmas Quiz. A few minutes fun in the lead up to all the festivities.

THANKS AGAIN and VIVA MEXICO!
