The Twelve Days of Blogmas, Day One: Giveaway & Snow Stories

                                         

              Update: Giveaway is now closed! Thank you, everyone who participated! 

  Well, today's the day. This year, I am going to do the "Twelve Days of Blogmas" challenge, where I will post something Christmas-y, or winter-y every day on the twelve days leading up to Christmas. 

    Tomorrow, we are supposed to get up to 3 inches of snow! It started flurrying back in November, but it didn't stay nearly long enough (I love snow). So I am really excited at the possibility of having a few inches of snow!

The most it has ever snowed here was 2 feet! My brother was so little at the time, he wasn't't allowed to go outside! But that was a long, long time ago, and it hasn't been that deep since.

My little sister has never even seen snow, because last winter she was too tiny to go out, so I'm wondering what her reaction will be.

    Oh, I almost forgot! Not. Because 'tis the season to be jolly, let's end this first day with a giveaway! We've got some awesome prizes, guys! 

My mom and I found a really nice book, that has a mix of a bunch of Christmas stories from different authors. And it's even hardcover, my favorite kind of book!

Treasured Stories of Christmas, compiled by Sarah Anne Stuart.

And what goes best with a good book on a cold, snowy night? A cup of something hot! So, the prize includes a mug full of freshly roasted coffee, from my dad's coffee roasting business, Bon Aroma Coffee.

And of course you're wondering how you can win this stuff. All you have to do is comment! If you comment, I will enter you, unless you specifically say, "I am commenting, but I do not want to enter." (But who in their right mind would do that?)

This contest ends on Friday, December 18th, at 5:30 p.m. Eastern time, and I will announce the winner sometime before lunch on Saturday, the 19th.

That's it for today! Don't forget to come back tomorrow for Day Two!   ~Caitlyn O.

  2. I am so glad you found the perfect book! And what goes better with a perfect book than a perfect cup of coffee or hot chocolate! Snow is beautiful to see but terrible to travel in! Stay warm under a blanket and enjoy it! Merry Christmas, dear Caitlyn!

  6. Hey Jacie! I love coffee too! Well, do you have a coffee grinder? If you do then you should be able to make it..... if you don't have a grinder, my dad said he will grind it for you! (It just looks more elegant whole bean!) I will put your name down! Thanks for commenting!
