Christmas GIVEAWAY!!!

**We have a WINNER**

Congratulations to commenter #5

SocialStudiesSoubrette who said..."This year our decorations are minimal. I am 8 months pregnant and do not have the energy to put them up or take them down. We have a lovely little tree decorated with ornaments given to me over the years from family through our ornament exchange, our stockings, and my DH decorated the mantel with his favorite nutcrackers. It is simple but I love it!

I would personalize it with our last name :D"

I will email you for your name and info!

I love Christmas and I am assuming most of you out there in bloggerville love Christmas as well! I do have to be honest though...this year I'm not putting out my Christmas decorations.

WAIT!!!

Don't shoot me yet!

I was gone for a week at Thanksgiving and I am leaving in just over two weeks to spend Christmas and New Years in Hawaii...so it seems like a lot of work just to have my stuff out for two weeks! I know, I know...I should do it anyways....I do have a sign out and my new top hat that I bought last month so I do have something out!

Here's the good news for you die hard decorators though...

I was presented with the opportunity from the online company www.holidaydecorationsdirect.com to give one of you lucky readers a fantastic Christmas Decoration!! I was able to peruse their great website (they have just about everything you need for Christmas Decorating) and decided to choose a lovely Welcome Sign for you to hang! This sign can even be personalized if you so choose!! How awesome is that?This is the sign you are eligible to win (and personalize)! This is a $65 gift to you...just for you reading my blog and entering my contest! It probably will not make it to you in time for you to hang it out before Christmas; however, I think you can hang it out until the end of January or so!

Do you like it?

Do you love it?

Do you want to win it?

Here's what you need to do:

1. Leave me a comment about your christmas decorations and how you like to decorate your house. I also would like to know how you would personalize your sign if you were to win! Please play nicely and answer my questions!!!

2. For a second entry: do a blog entry on your blog and leave me a NEW comment that you did it!

3. For a third entry: Follow me...if you already follow me (or decide to follow me) leave another NEW comment telling me you did!

**This contest is only open to those individuals residing in the United States and Canada**

I will leave the contest open for two weeks and use random.org to choose my winner! I will close it on December 16th sometime in the evening and notify the winner by email. I will need you to respond to my winning notification email within two days so I can get your information off to the company before I leave on Christmas Vacation...if you do not respond, I will choose a runner-up winner!

Good Luck to All!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Hallelujah that a tiny baby was born over two thousand years ago so that you and I might have eternal life!!
