Thank you so much for your interest in this contest! The winner has been chosen (Jennifer Hedden) and contacted. Be sure to enter all the latest giveaways here and at www.AFrogInMySoup.com!

I recently shared the basic review for this fabulous book set.  If you haven’t already you’re definitely want to make sure you read it as it includes the first chapter of each book!  Finding Father Christmas and it’s sequel, Engaging Father Christmas are written by Robin Jones Gunn.

I was delighted to have the opportunity to read both of these books and they are a treasure!  I truly enjoyed them both as a delightful, refreshing and warm story line centered around the holidays.  You won’t be disappointed in these books and I’m thrilled to be able to offer this set of two books to one lucky commenter!

If you want to win them (or know someone that would love them – hey, Christmas is just around the corner), be sure to leave a comment on this post telling me one of your favorite things about Christmas!

This contest is open to ship in the United States and will end on October 30th.

  25. AmandaK on Wed, 22nd Oct 2008 6:58 pm 

    The thing I like most about Christmas is seeing all of the Christmas light displays that every one has in their yard. It brings us closer together (even if we are trying to see out of their window) and it truly is inspirational. It’s been a tradition of ours since we were in middle school. I plan on doing the same thing with my own family!

  26. Betty King on Wed, 22nd Oct 2008 7:16 pm 

    I love the look in the childrens eyes. They are so full of magic and happiness. I love the fact that everyone you meet has a warm smile that shows the happiness they have in their hearts. Christmas is the most special time of the year.

    My favorite thing about Christmas is the wonderment on the children’s faces when they open their presents or they see what Santa Claus left them – it is an expression of such pure joy and awe that can never be explained – only pictures tell most of it.

  51. Katie on Thu, 23rd Oct 2008 4:36 pm 

    I love to sitting in the living room and look at the Chriatmas tree all lit up. I snuggle up on the couch and remember where every ornamnet came from whose it is and how old they were when they picked it out–or was given to them. It mkaes me all warm inside especially since they are growing so fast.

  52. lori williams on Thu, 23rd Oct 2008 5:15 pm

    My husband just retired from the Air Force after being in the sevice for 26 years. We have lived so far from family, and spending the holidays with them was few and far between. This Christmas will be special, as it will be the first one in over 15 years that we have seen our families at the holidays. So the best part of Christmas, is for me, being with my close family members, and extended ones as well.
