Found an interesting contest called All I want for Christmas Giveaway. Unfortunately it's only open for people who live in USA. So, for my blogger friends who live in the USA, starting December 3rd until December 7th, you can register yourself to win one of the prizes you choose yourself in the above link and maybe you'll get lucky.
What's the catch? You have to send at least five invitations to your friends, though, and they have to join in the fun, too! I'm sure it won't be hard for you to find five friends to join, because guess what? If you win, your five friends will win, too!!!
Each day you can win all the gifts you have chosen with the total amount of $1,000. And that's not all, folks! You can also win the grand prize, which is an Overstock Gift Card with the total amount of $5,000. Yummy, don't you think so? If I could enter the contest, I'd choose a diamond ring, a camcorder, an Ipod, and an expensive watch for my beloved hubby, and many more he he he...(I can dream, can't I?)
Best of all, you can choose a new gift every day (limited to one entry per day per person) so that you'll get a bigger chance of winning. For my USA friends, since Christmas is coming soon and you'll be able to get the gifts you want, why not check the site up? Here's a video clip I'd love to share about this contest:
One of my dreams is to own a house one day. It doesn't have to be big, just as long as it has a yard and two bedrooms, I'll be happy. I think once you have kids, it's nicer if you have a house and a yard for them to play in. Plus you can also grill some barbecue during summer when the weather's fine or throw a garden party if the occasion is right. My Dutch friend is determined on having a summer baby since then she can throw a birthday party in her garden when it's hot outside. I wish her luck!!!
My USA friend also has the same dream of owning her own house someday. Abilene real estate is one site where she can find homes for sale. She currently lives in a big city, so prices of houses there are so high. She said that she was more interested in investing in a house located in a smaller town. Right now she's still saving money for the down payment. May your wish come true, my friend!
One of my closest friends who now lives in the USA is planning to visit us next year during summer break. She's just started working as a substitute teacher, so she's going to have a long summer break next year. Oh, I forgot to tell you that by "us", I mean me and my other closest friends who also live in Europe.
One of us lives in Holland with her hubby. Another one lives in Germany 'coz she got transferred there from Bandung. So my USA friend is planning on visiting all of us. I sure hope it's going to happen. At first I was planning on meeting my USA and Dutch friend in Helsinki, but on second thoughts, it'd cost too much for me. I still haven't got any regular income, so I can't spend too much money. So I told my USA friend that she's welcome here in Sodankylä. I told her that we'd be able to pick her up in Rovaniemi if she comes here. After all, if she comes here, she HAS to spend a few days in Rovaniemi as it's a big city and it has many more tourist attractions, such as Santa Claus Village.
My Dutch friend suggested my USA friend to visit other nearby European countries as well, but it's going to take so much planning. My USA friend said that personally speaking, she actually wanted to taste our lifestyles and she wasn't really interested in visiting too many countries at once by spending only a few days in each country.
I just hope that my hubby's one-month summer holiday from work happens at the same time as my friend's trip here, so we can go anywhere easily he he he he he...It's going to be SO MUCH fun!!! ;-D I haven't met my USA friend since she got married in July 2006.
My Dutch friend said that she would come here someday in winter 'coz she wanted to try out our winter activities he he he...My German friend has also told me that she's interested in visiting Lapland someday. There's no real plan yet, but it's going to be SO NICE to meet either of them again!!! ;-D
The other day I begged my hubby to go back and visit Rovaniemi someday, perhaps on his long holiday next summer. If it happens that my USA friend is coming here for sure during my hubby's summer holiday, then we can spend a night or two there along with my friend, so it's gonna be easier for them to get around with our car. ;-D
Plans, plans, plans...it's not even Christmas yet, but it's SO EXCITING to talk about plans to meet old friends, eh? ;-D
