i pay, you win.

okay peeps.  it's time to make this little contest worthwhile. 

a while back, i tried doing a sweet contest.  well, it sort of failed.  but that's not the end of the story.  it looks like kim and jill were the only takers in my contest, so they'll get a little something from me thanking them for their support.  but i'm not going to let leah and her team down.  i believe in what she's doing and know many people that benefit from what they are doing.  if you're wondering about what they are up to, read this post.

so, i've got a new plan.  a new spin on things. 

the rules:

1. leave a comment on this post answering the following question:  what is something on your christmas wish list this year?
2. that's it.
3. for every comment left, i will donate $1 to leah's team.  tell your friends.  tell aunt marge.  tell whoever but they have to comment here! 
4. i will pick one winner on christmas eve morning and post their name.  they will win this fabulous cookbook. 
5. that's it.

so, you comment.  i pay.  you win.  we're all happy going into the new year.  well, unless you don't win, then you could be a little sad.  but maybe santa will still bring you the cookbook anyways.  :)

let's get started!  happy commenting!

I am thankful for all that is around me...an incredible family, amazing friends, a great job, and all the random things that make people happy.

On my list this year I am hoping that the man I have been dating for 3yrs now proposes some kind of committment. Not necessarily getting a ring just a promise. You see I was married for a very long time and my ex left me for someone else 8yrs ago, it has been a very long hall but I am making it quite well and I have this wonderful guy in my life and I hope he will be the one to stay forever, even though I know that is not always a reality but it is A WISH, so Santa I hope you hear me. Thanks, What a great contest. One other wish I have that is small yet big, I wish my daughter who is mixed up in her life will find the health and happiness she needs for herself.

[Amber]

seems like such a simple question...but i've been so busy buying/doing for others...i haven't thought about what I want for Christmas!

how about a peaceful day...with happy kids...and naps (for me)...and no bouts of random nausea!

My first wish is for our loved ones to have good health. My next wish is for all of the families having hard times due to plants closing in the area to keep thier faith in God strong and trust that He will provide.

I wish a cure for cancer could be found, not only breast cancer but all cancers as it is a disease that causes so much pain. Thanks for doing this.

Green Bay Who?? Did they put a packaging plant there?? Congratulations Nate & Asheleigh on your future arrival and Merry Christmas to the entire Husby/Cody/Middlestadt Clans. Way to be there for others Leah and Margaret. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

All I ask for is the Green Bay Packers to beat the Vikings and win the Super Bowl. I figure this will go a long way towards acheiving world peace - Heather.

[Denise M Krebsbach]

Four years ago in December my children, who are adults, lost there dad ( my x husband ) to mental illness. After the funeral which was December 13, we all made a pack that we would not exchange presents any more at Christmas, but to remember that the season is not about giving gifts to each other, for us our gift is having each other in our lives. If we are not able to get together at Christmas we talk on the phone.. we do this now at every Holiday, Birthday and anniversaries. So I wish for inner peace and happiness for all. Merry Christmas, Denise

[Mary Williams]

I wish for peace and health in my life for 2010,

[donna]

I'd like a new pair of snowpants so that I can keep up with my kids in the snow!

[Mandy]

I would like a new Wedding Ring,,, due to the fact that I think I threw mine away. I cannot seem to find it, and think the last time I wore it I didn't want to go upstair's to put it properly away, so I stuck it in between the couch cushion's, and forgot it was there, and then a week later we got a new couch and threw the old one(with the ring) away. Woop's... hehehe.

[Sue Berke]

I would like a nice sweater since I am wearing the same old ones.

[Sue Berke]

I wish for family togetherness when it is a difficult time of year.

[Ashleigh Cody]

I'm praying for a healthy baby in 2010.

[Sheila]

I would love inner peace and my family to love one another. So many trials and tribulations that are not neccesary. That's all.

[Trisha Stewart]

Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is a cure for AIDS; in which to save my daughter that is now 2 1/5 years and all the others out in the world that are infected.

A cure for Breast Cancer and all the types of Cancer. These are illness that have affected my family in many ways.

For there to be a way that a cure can be found to stop the spread of the illnessess.
I wish good health to everyone near and far!
