[CONGRATULATIONS, ELIZABETH TURNER (#130) WE ARE SO HAPPY TO BE SHARING THIS REALLY COOL PRIZE WITH YOU -- PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS!!!]
Welcome to Day 7 of our Holiday Survival Guide 2009 sponsored by some of the most awesomely generous brands we know and have reviewed throughout the year, who have graciously agreed to provide some really cool stuff for Her, Him, the Grandparents...okay, isn't it time we ALL put the WIN back into the winter holidays and made re-gifting a rule?!?
Seriously, I've got some really great stuff to share with you.
Raising 4 kids (did I mention, we've got two teenagers in the house, this year?) my husband, Garth [not his real name] and I are trying (really hard) to remember to take back the holidays and keep it as stress free as...well...you know,.
We've got a little something for everyone and giving away some pretty cool stuff, too:
DAY 1: HOLIDAY BAKING - Pumpkin Lattice Tart Food Channel Recipe and Holiday Gift Pack from Pampered ChefDAY 2: WARM HOLIDAY FUZZIES - Love, Hugs, Peace and All Things Jonas Brothers with Build-A-Bear
DAY 3: CHILDREN'S BOOKS - Going Digital with Disney
DAY 4: HOLIDAYS LONG DISTANCE - Keep in Touch with Skype and Buddy Cam
DAY 5: QUIET HOLIDAY TIME - Grandpa Read's Quiet Time Tales
DAY 6: FAMILY GAME NIGHT - Playing the "I'm Bored" Games with HABA
DAY 7: MORE FUN TIME - Xbox 360 for When You're Home for the Holidays
Just so you know -- my picks, product features and blog posts (as always) are advertorial free. No one is paying me, to talk about their product. It's just some really nice stuff that I thought you guys would like, too.
Let's get started, okay -- ready for a little more fun time with Xbox?
It's not secret, we love our Xbox (read our full review of Xbox 360 LIVE, here) and, seeing as I am also a gamer mom (i.e., try to beat the pants off of my kids, but, you know, end up losing, every gosh-darned time) I happen to think that the Xbox 360 More Fun Time TV spots are hysterical!
Here's my favorite one:
I know what you're thinking -- but, why are they still SO expensive, right?
A recent Microsoft survey found that nearly half of Americans are planning to buy one big gift this holiday that the entire family can enjoy instead of smaller, individual gifts.
Beginning August 28, the price of an Xbox 360 Elite console dropped by $100 and also includes 2 video games.
Hey, every little bit helps (the games alone are, like, $50) and you might want to check out Xbox.com and their More Fun Time Sweepstakes (digging into my husband's New England roots) it ends on December 20, 2009 and IS wicked good.
Why?
Personally, I like finding out about cool new video games that allow my family to spend a little more time together, or learning about Internet tools (like, Get Game Smart) and sharing stuff with OTHER families (like mine) that, perhaps help me feel a little more empowered, as a parent, for once.
Want one?
I am VERY pleased to partner with Xbox 360 in helping to promote their More Fun Time program with other families (like mine) by offering one (1) VERY, VERY lucky winner an Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Prize Package, including:
- Xbox 360 Holiday Elite Bundle (Xbox 360 Elite + two family-friendly games)
- Xbox LIVE Gold account
- Xbox LIVE Points card
- “Lips: Number One Hits”
Because, we roll like that!
