Hanukkah, oh Hanukkah, it’s time for the fun to end. Had enough? One more? Sure!
One last giveaway as part of the festive merriment to celebrate reading, both paper and digital, I have a digital reader that’s rather awesome, but getting hard to find.
All you have to do to win is leave a comment, and I’ll select a winner each day. These contests are open to international winners, and I will do my best to ship this week, provided people send me their addresses promptly.
Standard disclaimers apply: I’m not being compensated for this giveaway. If anything, my gift is exceptional support of the United States Postal Service (Happy Hanukkah, US Mail Carriers!). Digital or paper reading is awesome, but you knew that. Love is a battlefield.
Ahoy! Contest the eighth!
ETA: It’s not over until it’s OVER – I have a $50.00 gift card to the eHarlequin bookstore, thanks to the fine folks at Harlequin! So! Since folks have awesomeness in store if they win, I’m going to extend the contest for a few hours extra, and the winner will get both the awesome prize below AND the $50 gift card. WOO HOO! Happy Hanukkah from Harlequin!
On the Eighth Night of Hanukkah, Smart Bitches Gave to Me: A new-in-box Silver Sony 505. I have a big soft spot for this reader: clear screen, memory slots, slim but portable.
Just leave a comment below, and tell me what you’re wishing for most this holiday season, if you’re celebrating, and you’re entered to win. Comments close in 24 hours, but fear not, there’s another book – paper or digital – giveaway coming soon. Because Hanukkah lasts for eight crazy nights, and I have lost my ever lovin’ mind.
Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Reading!
Happiness for all our family and friends, and the patter of little feet (2 legged variety) for the coming year.
I want a new dishwasher. The lemon I have is broken again, and once again the warranty has expired. For family harmony a dishwasher is essential. And I’d really like it before Christmas, say before the 17th when we are hosting a large holiday party.
My wish is that I finish making all my gifts in time! I don’t know why I thought knitting gifts was a good idea since I JUST LEARNED :/
For the holidays, I want to see my new nephew. It’s his first Christmas but he doesn’t live near me and I’m kinda too broke to go see him and my brother. But yeah. I REALLY want to bring him to NY with me so I can keep him. 😉
A Blu-Ray DVD player as both of my DVD players bit the dust back in March. I miss watching my DVDs.
OMG don’t even tease like this!!! I hesitated to even comment and dare get my hopes up that I may win because the disappointment if I don’t will be crushing! I have been wanting an ereader for months, it’s really the only thing I want but there’s no affording it right now so I’ve resigned myself to doing without UNTIL I saw this prize….and now I have a sliver of hope. My fingers are crossed!!!
Wishing to be transported to Regency England- transformed into a heroine from one of my fav trashy novels and enjoy the attentions of a ravishing rake. As that is unlikley to happen, I’ll take a new author (very prolific one of course) who combines Heyer with Annie Gracie, a smidge of Laurens, Enoch and Gayle Wilson.
This Christmas I’m very excited to be celebrating with my boyfriend and family for the first time. And just after Christmas I’m moving in to my first apartment with my boyfriend so for Christmas I’m hoping “Santa” brings me a new bed!
Wishing for delicious food and good times with the family and my boyfriend!
Happy Holidays Everyone!
I just wish for a bit of happiness, peace and friendship. I hope everyone has that moment of “this is why I do this”. Enjoy it!
I’m wishing for universal sanity and rationality (HAH), along with a brainy and attractive fellow for me, a peaceful vacation, and the new 007 Goldeneye game for the Wii, which I will use to shoot fake things to alleviate my stress when the universal sanity doesn’t arrive.
Happy holidays!
I’ve never been good at thinking of what I want for christmas because my parents never had much money. So, for me.. Christmas means the family getting together and having a night full of laughter. Thats what I want for christmas. Laughter.
All I want for Christmas is to spend some time with family & just relax!
What I wished for most, I’m already getting—which is both my kids and their kids all over to my house for the holidays. And a bonus wish, my sister and her hubby will be here too.
As for a thing I am wishing for a KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Which I won’t be getting unless Santa brings it…but that’s okay because I’ve already won!
I’m wishing for happiness, love and contentment in my home this Christmas as well as in the homes of my friends and loved ones…and everyone else out there too. We can all use a little of those I think.
It’s finals week here on campus and what I’m wishing for most is a good turn out on grades. I’ll be celebrating just as soon as my last final is over.
I’m wishing for the health and happiness of everyone I know and love , especially the “olds” in mine and my DH’s families.. We have 4 from 89 to 83 who are hanging tough after 2 years of cancer/chemo, strokes, falls/surgeries…and I just want them to be well and enjoy these last years/months…They are wonderful people.
I’m actually getting what I most wished for this year: the chance to go back to Sweden and visit my adopted family from my year studying abroad there. It’s been three years since Iast saw them. Grandparents have died, and grandchildren have been born, and it’s been hard not to be there in person to mourn and/or celebrate. Finally, this year, I’m getting to visit over New Year’s.
I guess I am just wishing for a good time with my family and friends. And that my workplace can avoid layoffs.
This holiday season I keep hoping Maureen Johnson will be on an episode of Law and Order SVU, because that would be AWESOME.
This Christmas I am hoping for my boys to actually get through the holiday with their belief in Santa in tact. They are 11 and 13 (special needs) and I know they’re suspicious but think they truly still WANT to believe. Of course I’m 43 and I stil do! lol!
Oh, and some help with the dishes after Christmas dinner for the 30 or so people who are coming over would be nice too!
Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas to everyone!
my daddy’s in the hosp and i just would like him to get up and walk out and kick up his heels. but he’s 91 and feeling his years. so i’m not sure what to wish for without being selfish. but peace on earth is at the top of my list.
I’m wishing for a new place to live and a peaceful winter break. Maybe a truck for my husband before his dies.
I’m wishing for a good and fun-filled schoolbreak 🙂 will probably be eating loads to celebrate.
that would be a lovely holiday gift for myself.
I know I won’t get it, especially since I haven’t asked, but if I could get anything it would be an iPad or some kind of computer tablet.
My Christmas hope is that everyone makes it in for the holidays and that no one gets sick 🙂
It’s a downer, but I want some freaking appreciation this holiday season!
I made cookies for my coworkers, ONE person said “Thank you.” My supervisor said, “Oh, they’re homemade” like if she thought homemade are gross and couldn’t believe I didn’t bring store bought. The rest said nothing. But they sure did devour them. Like if they were starving.
My mom doesn’t drive any more. So I’m always having to sacrifice my day off to take her places. Even if I have plans of my own – she’ll whine and throw a fit and do these passive aggressive things to make me give in. Then she spends the entire time panicking. Freaking out over a bus at the bus stop even though there’s more then enough room to go around. Thinking people standing on the sidewalk are about to jump straight into traffic. She’ll even grab my arm REALLY HARD. Then after all that I have to haul everything into the house – even the super heavy stuff – all by myself. She won’t even bring the mail in. The one time I asked she yelled at me.
And I never get a single freaking thank you. Instead I get “Is that the last of it? Are you done?”
Finally, I haven’t gotten any thumbs up – or thumbs down for that matter – on any of my YouTube videos. Maybe I’m not the Greatest Female Singer Of All Time, but I’m good, dang it, and I deserve a thumbs up!

A “Thank you” and a thumbs up, is that too much to ask?
Sorry if I brought the tone of things down and all that. I’m just very depressed and frustrated that my efforts are not appreciated. I feel taken advantage of.
Have you ever heard the old John Denver song, “Please Daddy, Don’t Get Drunk This Christmas!”? Well, let’s just say that some visiting relatives have made this my theme song this holiday season! That’s my wish, and I’m sticking to it!
All I want this year is a job. Hopefully the holiday spirit will infect that interviewer with good cheer and he’ll hire me.
What I’m wishing for most is a visit from my mom for Christmas. We moved out of town last year and I hate not being able to spend the holidays with her.
I’m wishing for a wonderful meal with my family and many laughs. They were out of town for Thanksgiving, so I’m hoping we have twice as much fun together over Christmas to make up for it!
I wish for happiness for my family…
CCourI am greedy, but what I would love love love iis an IPad 🙂 of course I haven’t really asked for one so that could be a problem!
I’m hoping that my cousin will come to Christmas and that there won’t be any drama. (The two may be mutually exclusive.)
An XBox 360! I promised myself if I actually survived going back to college, I’d get one.
But in all serious, I’m most wishing for peace of mind and catching up with my family, since I’ve been a wretched person to be around for the last year and a half of studies. Time to regroup and look forward!
We’re celebrating Christmas (aka Giftmas) and I want my uncle to not say anything racist in front of my kids at my mom’s dinner. Also, I want an e-reader and some book gift cards. 🙂
I’m wishing for some time off with my family and the ability to read a lot in peace.
That Toys for Tots gets enough prezzies this year to give out. Saw on the news yesterday that their shelves were bare and that donations they were expecting didn’t come through.
That breaks my heart.
No kid should go without a prezzie during the holidays.
But everyone is hurting these last few years.
So I’ll add, jobs for everyone as part of my wish as well.
I wish I could get my purse back.
It was stolen out of my best friend’s car (window smashed) on Sunday afternoon. I’ve taken care of the financial stuff, and reconciled myself to the loss of my prescription sunglasses and my mp3 player, but I’m still really broken up about my little notebook where I wrote my thoughts. There’s a possibility the thief ditched the purse on the side of the road after taking out the wallet, so I’ll be looking, but it’s unlikely I’ll ever recover anything.
I feel like I could use a Christmas miracle though. (Or an ereader!)
