Forum Contest 2008 Grand Prize Winner!

Congratulations to Wade – you are the Grand Prize Winner of a $100 gift certificate to www.christmasplace.com!  We just drew your name out of the representational hat (we didn’t have a real hat, so we had to substitute….)!

Many, many thanks to all those who participated in our first forum contests, and congratulations to the winners.  We’ll plan some more fun for 2009 – be thinking poetry ~ and especially limericks! ~ for next year.

A very Merry Christmas to all our forum members, and a Happy New Year!  We look forward to meeting you on the boards again very soon.  We hope you have a wonderful holiday with family and friends close by.

Forum Contest Winner!

My bad, I keep forgetting to announce our contest winners!

Bradmac, thanks for posting photos of your holiday fun in 2007 – we look forward to some great new pics this year!  You’ve been sent a $25 gift certificate to www.christmasplace.com, and you are entered into the drawing for our $100 grand prize.

We’ll announce a new contest next week – I think it is going to be Christmas poems, so start rhyming now!  We’ll only accept original content.

P.S. Limericks are my personal fav, hint hint.  No, I am in no way saying that the judges will be influenced by limericks.  After all, national haiku day comes later this month, too.

Contest Reminder

Just a reminder that we are in the midst of our photo contest over at the Christmas Place Forum, through this Saturday, December 6th. 

Send us your pictures of family, children with Santa, your house decorations, your Christmas village houses, anything that gets you in the Christmas mood!

We’re giving a $25 gift certificate for our online Christmas Place store to the winner, and entering that winner into a drawing for a $100 gift certificate.

Forum Favorite Movie Contest Winner!

Congratulations to mustangprincess, the winner of our Favorite Movie contest on the Christmas Place forum!  I’ve sent you a $25 gift certificate to use in our online store.

We’re still accepting movie recommendations – I added one myself today.  Pop over to the forum and tell us what you love to watch – and when – July, like me???

I’m going to announce the next contest on Monday, but be getting your funniest Christmas photos together, please…………….

Our First Forum Winner!

We have a winner in the Forum recipe contest – and it’s a good one - Apple Dumplings, with a secret ingredient!  Cruise on over here and check it out, and drop in your own favorite recipe while you’re there.

Bradmac, you’ll be receiving a $25 gift certificate from me to spend on our website, and you are entered into the drawing for a $100 gift certificate!  Thanks so much for your special recipe ~ and we particularly appreciate the packaged rolls angle, good for bachelors.

In fact, we all discussed it while we were at our conference last week (looking important with our laptops spread across the room and wifi connections so we could surf check our business accounts between sessions), and I believe it will be appearing on several Christmas menus around Sevier County….

This week, we’re asking for posts in the Forum under Christmas humor - we’d love to hear some funny holiday tales – you know you’ve got one to share!  We’ve had a few stories about worst Christmas gifts, now I’d like to hear about worst trips to Grandma’s or worst dinner table stories from Uncle Harry.  There’s another $25 on the table for this week’s winner…don’t make me have to hunt you down to give it away….
