Holiday Giveaway #5

December 22, 2008 · Posted in Contests 

We’re up to Holiday Giveaway #5!  I hope you all keep checking back, because we have some really great prizes coming up.  But first….

Congratulations to the winner of our most recent Holiday Giveaway!

Our 4th Giveaway Winner is Toni @ Photo Bug Baby!  Toni will be receiving a Baby Beebo with signing DVD, compliments of Malaika from www.signwithme.webs.com and www.millionairemamas.info.

The Baby Signs® Program teaches babies to use simple, easy-to-do gestures for communicating with their parents and caregivers. These gestures or “signs” represent an item or concept, like “cat,” “eat,” or “all gone.”

I truly wish I had known this was around when my boys were babies, especially with my first.  It is so hard to not know what your child needs or wants.  This would have helped to take so much stress away.

Ok, now to the next giveaway…

Our next giveaway is for:  A Wings-To-Wear T-Shirt, compliments of Yolanda from www.cwingsbooks.com.    What creative t-shirts.  Ya gotta see ‘em!

My thought of the day:  I think back to when I was younger…I know, I know, how could I possibly remember that many years ago.  Well, I remember bits and pieces.  I think back to christmas time with my family.  We always had very nice holidays at home.  We were fortunate…no traumas to cope with.  I specifically remember one Christmas.  I was 16 1/2.  I had opened what I thought was all of my gifts.  I got a new telephone!  My own phone!  I was some one now.  But, the last little box that was handed to me was the kicker.  I opened it and it was a key.  It took a few moments to understand, but when I looked out the window into the snowy yard, I saw what it meant.  A new car!!!  Well, not really “new”, but my own car!  My eyes filled.  It is the most memorable gift in my young life that I received at Christmas.  It was shocking and unexpected.

This brings me to my next question…

Do you have a most memorable Christmas gift in your past?  It can be something that you had received or something that you had given…I’d love to hear both.

The deadline for giveaway #5 entry is 11:59pm EST, Saturday December 27th.  To review the rules of our giveaway, please CLICK HERE.

    The meaning of Christmas came to me back when I was a single mom of my 2 boys and they were young. I explained to them that this is the day Jesus is born and that if Santa couldn’t make it, it was because there were other children who needed toys more than they did. That was the year MOM had no money and no resources to really get them any toys. I did want something under the little 3 foot tree that was given us so I had put some toys away a few weeks before and wrapped them up just in case I couldn’t borrow any money. That night after they were in bed there was a knock at my door. 3 people were at my door with food and presents. We had a whole christmas dinner and presents galore. There were even things in there that were for “mom”. I asked these people where it came from and all they told me was “Santa”. That was a eye opener for me and now that I’m a little better off I try and surprise someone every year with a little something I leave at their doorstep.
