Thank ya'll SO much for your participation in the "Ring the Bells" Bloggy Giveaway, and for obliging me in my anticipation of the holiday season 3-3.5 months early <grin>.  It was so fun to read your comments listing your favorite Christmas songs as well as the special things you anticipate during fall and the holidays.  Some of your comments were so vivid, I could picture myself sitting in your living room looking at your tree in the perfect spot or tasting that cup of pumpkin chai.  And the comments about enjoying life through your kiddos' eyes or teaching them about the true meaning of Christmas, well, that just tugged on my heart as well.  It was just fun, so fun!  And thanks for your participation. 

Ok, so what ya'll really care about is the winner.  And well, I have one for you!
