And the winner is…..
Posted by Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Wednesday, November 26th, 2008
Oh my… wasn’t this contest fun AND informative???? I loved the traditions as well as the yummy recipes!
I’m sooo glad that I opted to pick the winner via a Random number generator because if I’d had to pick based on CONTENT – wow! I’d still be trying to decide!
So, since I know you all are anxious to know, without further delay:
The winner of the $20 Wal-Mart gift card, chosen by placing the numbers 1 to 14 in the number generator:
Yep, that says tradition #13 - Guinevere !!! You GO GIRL!
(Luckily, I already have your mailing address so it’ll go out in the mail TODAY!)
*****
I waited until this morning to run the numbers for the 2nd prize, the D&D coffee, just in case there were any late night comments that would need to be included in the numbers. Let me first mention one thing – if this decision had been based on creative and colorful comments – Scarecrow would have won hands down! The man needs serious help! Go back and read it if you haven’t. What a HOOT!
(I love ya man. You know I’m kiddin.)
So the winner for the fabulous D&D coffee goes to:
That’s comment #9 – Vonnie! Way to go girlie! Vonnie has been a *chronic lurker* turned *frequent commentor* turned *winner*! WooHoooo! 
This goes to show you lurkers – commenting pays off! (hehehe) Please email me your mailing address for your package of the most wonderfullest coffee in the world!

Now, several of you asked about MY traditions. I didn’t include them previously because I didn’t want my own entries to be included in the total numbers for the prize drawing. But also, because I haven’t written them down yet! 
But I will. As soon as I get a minute. Or ten.
Have a great Thanksgiving Eve – to all you folks traveling today, be safe.
To all you folks working your hineys off at home to get ready for tomorrow, take a minute in the busy-ness of today to be thankful for the opportunity to open your home to your families and friends. They aren’t coming to see the house – they are coming to see YOU. Don’t stress too much. Just enjoy.
