Christmas Giveaway 2008

Ready or not… Christmas is coming!

Can you believe it? Soon we will be singing Christmas carols, decorating our homes and trimming our trees.

This Christmas, instead of sleeping through it all, Olivia and Sophia will be taking in all the sights, sounds – and presents – of Christmas.

Speaking of presents, how is your Christmas shopping going?

Need some shopping ideas? Want to win some great prizes?

Our Christmas Giveaway 2008 is jam packed. (Please scroll down to see our current list of prizes.)

In fact, we have so many giveaways this year, I don’t know how we will cram them all into the month of November. We have more than 25 planned already — and we are adding more! It is craziness!

We will be stuffing the next three weeks FULL of giveaways!

Not only do we have toys, but we also have some fun stuff for you moms.

AND, we also have a new program here at 5 Minutes for Mom this Christmas called Under the Tree .

Under the Tree is about getting some of that Christmas magic (bloggy style!) right to some families who need it!

In addition to providing the fabulous prizes for our readers to win by commenting on the individual reviews, the wonderful companies participating in the Christmas Giveaway 2008 are providing presents to selected families who are in need this Christmas.

If you know a family who will not be able to provide presents for their children this Christmas, click over and read more about Under the Tree and how you can nominate a family in need.

And don’t forget to click over and comment to show your support and enthusiasm for Under the Tree and for the participating companies!

Now, if you’re looking for some great ideas for your Christmas shopping list — and you would you like to win some fun prizes and maybe check off some people on that list, it is time to get started with our Christmas Giveaway 2008!
