November Giveaway!! Win $75 in PayPal Cash for Christmas!!

Christmas is just a mere 8 weeks away (hard to believe huh!) and soon it will be time to 'deck the halls' with colorful lights, shiny decorations, and or course, a nicely decorated Christmas tree to place all of those festively wrapped gifts beneath!

But most importantly, it's a wonderful celebration of the birth of our savior Jesus Christ, the real reason for the season. 

Christmas is my favorite holiday of all and I love all of the wonderful traditions and celebrations that go along with it; including giving and receiving gifts. But for many, holiday gift-giving can end up being very costly, especially if you have children or a large family.



The cost of buying gifts for assorted family members and friends can be overwhelming and often puts quite a noticeable ding in the pocketbook.  I can vouch for this personally. As a grandparent of two (soon to be 3 children any day now!) I can and have easily spent a small fortune on gifts for my family and grandchildren over the years!

Thankfully this year I decided to get a head start on all of my holiday shopping and now have most of my Christmas shopping completed. YAY! With my shopping mostly completed, I've decided to give my readers a chance to win a bit of cash to help with their holiday shopping this year!  So how does $75 via PayPal sound?

It's always nice to have a little extra cash to spend on gifts and other things isn't it ;) 


Now who wants a chance to win a bit of holiday cash?
(To enter, just follow the directions on the Giveaway Tools form below).

Throughout the duration of this giveaway there will be daily entries offered so be sure to stop by each day to increase your chances of winning.

Please note: You MUST have a PayPal account to enter this giveaway. If you don't have one set up yet you will need to create one in order to win.




GOOD LUCK!!

  21. Being away from family during the holidays is pretty rough. 20+ years ago, my husband and I started the "Orphan's Thanksgiving." Some had no family, some had no place to go and some just didn't want to be with their family! We now have Orphan's Christmas and Easter to ensure everyone has somewhere to go. In the beginning, we made all the food. Now, everyone that can brings something. There's lots of food and no one ever goes home hungry!

  26. I love Christmas season because all my family have time to be together. We cook and spend afternoons just talking (some fighting too! lol). I love decorating my home, this year we picked silver decorations, it looks so polished! But my favorite tradition is to bake 'Pan de Pascua' with my mother. It's a recipe from Chile, this way we can remember our roots and hopefully one day I could bake it as perfect as my mother do.

  31. Every Christmas Eve the kids get to open ONE gift. Even the older ones get excited. My 16 year old normally gets a new book, and he's always so excited to take his new read up to his room to read until he can fall asleep. Christmas day we have cinnamon buns for breakfast, the boys get to open their stockings and then we take the morning to open up gifts. I have 5 sons, so gifts take awhile. We also watch an assortment of Christmas specials in the weeks leading up to Christmas, and the boys help me decorate the tree, and cookies.

  54. We don't have a tradition for Christmas, however every season when they have the "Lights in the Park" we take the kids there every year. We get something to eat on the way. Then when we get in the line of cars we start the Christmas movies in the van. Because it takes over an hour to get in, they usually can watch the whole movie. The kids seem to enjoy that every year.

We don't rush out of bed because it's cold out from under the covers (we keep the heat turned down because it's expensive). Our tradition is the same every day, really. We sit together on the couch under a blanket both reading; my dog and my Husband's 2 cats adding extra heat.
