 Happy New Year
I'm really sorry I've been lacking on posting the carnival.  December slipped away from me and I went in today to the manager site and found out that I hadn't even scheduled another carnival so there were no submissions.....So I scheduled one for Feb. 1st.  I'll do my best to get one up close to that time.  Open for submissions fill out the easy carnival form here.
