In giving in to my inner Scrooge, I got what I deserved:
ALL THESE STUPID SONGS STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR FIVE DAYS.
Thanks a lot. But I did ask for it, didn't I?
Some of them I had to look up and that, too, was a mistake. UGGGH.
But thanks for playing everyone. It was a lot of fun for me and I hope for you, too.
And the (randomly selected) winners are:
BIRD
and
*wild applause*
And, because I feel so bad for her present circumstances, I'd also like to send chocolate to Krista V. because her house is on the verge of being flooded and they had to evacuate.
So, will all three of you send me your mailing addresses (or in Krista's case, an address where you can temporarily receive mail) and I'll send you some Chukar Cherries? (I know Bird knows how good these are because she grew up in Prosser, the town where I live.) My email address is a2sonnichsen (at) gmail (dot) com.
Also, winners -- and this is important -- tell me if you prefer milk chocolate or dark chocolate. I made the mistake once of sending someone dark chocolate who didn't like dark chocolate. I didn't realize there was such a thing as not liking a certain kind of chocolate because I am a chocolate-of-any-kind junkie. But, if you have a definite preference, please tell me so I can send you something you'll love (not just eat to be polite or, worse, regift).
I'll leave you with a drawing my four-year-old wonder child brought home from preschool last week. Kind of reminds me of the true meaning of Christmas (*guffaw*).
Because, of course Jesus really needs a TV this Christmas.
Thank you, Amy, and congratulations to Bird and Michelle. We're doing better this morning, but I still appreciate your generosity.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners!
ReplyDeleteThat was a great contest :)
Congrats to all the winners.
ReplyDeleteAmy, you're so generous and kind, and i know they're all going to enjoy those Chukkar Cherries...having won them in your last contest! Yum!
I din't get around to entering, but would totally agree with your choice "Christmas Shoes" - we've had similar convos in our car!
And can I tell you of one of my favourite Christmas songs, Frank Kelly's version of 12 Days of Christmas - it has me doubled up laughing every time!
Congrats to all the winners! Fun Contest Amy!
ReplyDeleteLoved the drawing! Made me have a good chuckle this morning!
Congratulations to the winners! Amy, you are such a sweetie. I've not heard of some of these cheesy Christmas songs, so this was *ahem* educational.
ReplyDeleteI snorted my tea at your child's drawing!
Merry Christmas and God bless you all.
Congratulations to the winners...Sorry to hear about Krista. I hope she is safe....
ReplyDeleteLoved the drawing.
LOL! Kids are so funny. And it's so hard as parents to teach kids the true meaning of Christmas. At least for me. :o)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Bird, Michelle, and Krista! (Prayers to Krista and the flooding as well!)
Happy New Year, Amy!
That is absolutely hilarious about giving Jesus a TV for Christmas! I wonder what he would say about reality television! Very funny and adorable.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners of the contest--nothing like the gift of chocolate this time of year! Very generous of you.
Congrats! Thanks for the contest, Amy, but I had your song stuck in my head for days. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteAnd my husband doesn't like dark chocolate. And my brother gave us dark Belgian truffles for Christmas. Mwahahahaha.
Krista, hope your house didn't flood!
ReplyDeleteAmy, I'm donating my winning chocolates to someone on your end--bring them a smile. :)
Happy New Year, everyone!!!
