Update:  Instead of drawing tonight, I'll draw tomorrow, November 4th.  Today is the last day, so that means you may still enter until midnight tonight!  Don't forget to leave me some kind of contact information.  Good luck!

***Click on the logo for more info.PLEASE NOTE: The Fall, Y'all! Giveaway is for bloggers only. Companies interested in participating may do so only if they have their own blog and can host the giveaway from there.

I've entered lots of give-a-ways, but I've never hosted my own.  So, here I go!

Leave a comment  with your favorite thing about the Christmas season.  (You can be brief using just one word such as "candles", "caroling", "presents", "special church services", etc.)  I'll put all names in a bowl or something and draw one out.  I must ask only contiguous U.S. residents to enter.  I almost forgot to mention the prize!  Last year I collected all the Christmas stories, poems, and the like that I've written over the years.  I enter mingled them with my favorite Christmas read-a-louds, and recollections to create a 124 page hodge podge of Christmas goodies.  Included is my story "Struck by Lightening" which was a runner up in the Homeschool Blogger writers' contest last year. 

I'll draw a winner on November 3rd and post the winner here.  Please check back on the 3rd.  If I can't get in touch with the winner I'll have to draw another name.

Good luck!
