Major props today to Kawania Wooten and NaShara Mitchell for pointing out that they have been unable to comment on the blog.  If you are unable to comment, please try using another web browser.  I went back through my notes and now remember that the entire blogsite is not friendly with Internet Explorer.  Google Chrome seems to work like a charm, but Kay was able to access from Safari as well.  This is an issue that I requested my blog designer to look into and need to follow up on.  Thank you to everyone for trying out the work around solution.  I will make sure to work on this issue in the New Year along with additional changes/updates for the blog!

I usually do not post on the blog on the weekends, but I knew that I wanted to just do some fun posts for the 12 Days of Christmas contest, so there will be a post today and tomorrow. 

Who doesn’t love iTunes gift cards?  I keep a list of songs and apps that I want to download on my phone, and we have asked Santa for an iPad for Christmas, so I hope to have an iTunes gift card in my stocking this year!  I have one for you all too – a $15 iTunes gift card.

Just share with us below:  What is your favorite family Christmas tradition and why?  One winner will be randomly selected from all comments.

I can’t wait to read these. I so enjoy hearing from you all on a personal level – it makes me love you even more!

Rules:

• Contest is limited to the Continental United States.
• You must be a wedding and event professional.
• Entrants must be 18 years of age or older.
• In order to qualify for each giveaway, you must adhere to the guidelines for that day, so please read the post carefully each day.  For instance, if the post indicates that you should comment on our Facebook Fan Page and you comment on the blog instead, your blog comment does not qualify for the giveaway.
• Giveaway items will be announced each day, not in advance.  (You can however, see a photo and prize list of most of the giveaway items at the top of this post.)  You may enter multiple times, but in order to be fair, once you have won a prize, you are disqualified from any further wins.  Each days topic is pretty fun and we love dialogue, so feel free to comment each day if you’d like, but multiple prizes will not be awarded to the same person.
• All prizes will be awarded by random drawing, with the exception of the Ugliest Christmas Sweater Contest.
• All contests will remain open for comments until 12:00 noon EST on December 30.  The winners for all 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways will be announced by 5:00 p.m. EST on December 30.
• All winners must email Jeannine at info@thestylishplanner.com by 10:00 a.m. on Monday, January 3, 2011 to acknowledge your win and include your mailing address.
• All prizes will be mailed out no later than Friday, January 7, 2011.
• I will attempt to make notifications to winners via Twitter, Facebook or email, in the same fashion that you were asked to leave your comment for that day’s giveaway.  However, please be sure to check the winners list that will post on 12/30 just in case you do not receive a personal notification.
• For the final contest day, a completed survey enters you in the drawing for that day.  Survey answers can be left anonymously, however, you must Tweet that you completed the survey so that I have your name.
