This post is my 200th post. Who knew I had so much to say? Okay, maybe my family, my friends, people in the grocery line, the bell ringers....
But more importantly, who knew that there were people who would actually listen and then come back for more. Thanks for doing that for me. Really. I love you guys.
And because I love you, everyone who reads this post today will get a little piece of me. (or tomorrow or the next day or...well, as long as you want, actually.)
You see, I would totally have a giveaway...a real one...only I am horrible at getting things out to people. I don't. So if I had a real giveaway, one that required me to buy something, package it, go to the post office and send it, you would probably get it by Valentine's Day.
Instead, my giveaway is going to be a list of things I would give away if I had a giveaway.
1. This is my second most favorite Christmas story. The first is the real one and it is in your Bible, Luke 2, in case you didn't remember. It makes me cry every time I read it. I would totally give it to you.
2. I would send you some of my really yummy, delicious, make-you-gain-five-pounds-just-looking-at-it English Toffee. But instead, here's the recipe. (No secrets here. Just use a candy thermometer. That's the trick.)
This isn't my toffee. Mine is gone before I can charge the camera battery to take the shot.
3. I would send you The Carpenter's Christmas album, but most of you probably already have it. So instead, I would send you a
4. This is what I usually watch Christmas Eve night, way late when I am wrapping presents and Hubs is putting things together. It is the best rendition by far, in my opinion.
5. Finally, I would send you a little something to keep you warm at night. This tastes just like what my mom called "Tang Tea". Most people just call it "Wassail". I call it Delicious!
I know. I know. Someday I will have a real drive-to-the-PO-and-show-you-the-love giveaway. But this way everyone wins. Everyone wins nothing and everything.
To all...
...pieces of me.

These are AWESOME prizes from an awesome lady!
I love your blog!
You are GREAT! Merry Christmas!
What a neat post!
And thanks for the gifts. I will treasure them.

You could put it in a flat rate box or envelope and print the postage out on line. Then just throw it in your mailbox and you'll NEVER have to go to the post office. I know, becasue I pick up these packages all the time. :) And even though I am a mail lady, I never actually make it to the post office... we work out of a warehouse 1/2 mile away.
Or you could just send it out in cyber space... becasue it really is about the thought...right?
I've got the book, CD, & the hot chocolate…all of them are winners in my book!
I am so glad I am not the only one who is Postally impaired. I love that I won the idea of all these great things. This tea? I have not heard of it before. I am intrigued. I may have to have a virtual sip. Congrats on the big 200!
