The Holiday Season is upon us! To celebrate, I'll be having a giveaway series featuring some of my favorite products for you to win. Each day for the next twelve days, I'll feature a giveaway item that one random winner will receive. The rules are simple...just answer the day's question and leave your eMail in the comments (or check back to see if you've won if you don't feel comfortable leaving your address. You can then eMail me at mej0620@hotmail.com). U.S. residents only, Followers only (includes Google Friend Connect, subscribers, social media followers).
Happy Holidays, from me, to you!
Today's prize is the bareMinerals eye shadow palette The Playlist. This palette was my gateway into the addicting world of bareMinerals, so it has a special meaning to me. Yes, I'm sentimental about my cosmetics! Yours will be new of course, and it's packaged in a beautiful shiny gold palette and boxed. It's a lovely range of shades, and if you're familiar with bareMinerals, you already know how soft, buttery, and blendable their eye shadows are.
12 Days of Holiday Cheer Day 1 Question: Do you prefer a white or green Christmas/Holiday, and why?
My answer: White, all the way! We usually have a white Christmas, and it just seems more festive and beautiful that way. Besides, it makes it easier for the reindeer to land on the roof! I'll confess though, that the snow can all disappear after December 31, although that never seems to happen where I live!
(note: I personally celebrate the Christmas Holiday, but I hope my questions are able to be interpreted for whatever Holiday you celebrate, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc.).
Each day's giveaway will be open for 48 hours. I know some of you subscribe via eMail and don't receive posts until a day or two later. Winners will be announced approximately 48 hours after each giveaway is posted.
Oh this is a brilliant idea! Really generous of you. Pity I'm not living in the U.S.

This is such a wonderful idea! I for sure prefer a white Christmas! It just does not seem like Christmas without a little snow on the ground. With Santa coming it just seems more festive :)

I prefer a white Christmas too! It's more cozy and keeps everyone closer because it's too cold to go out. I miss white Christmases. And just like the song: I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know.....that's what I'm doing because here in Arizona there is no snow! :)

I live in Southern California so we always have a green Christmas, however, one year when the husband and I lived in Hesperia, CA (It's the High Desert) we got 11' of snow. That was my favorite Christmas and I look forward to moving back up to that area one day. I would prefer a white Christmas. :-)

Where I live in the South, I have never experienced a white Christmas. But I definitely would prefer to see white instead of green! :)
ReplyDeleteI won't be home for Christmas this year, but I always love snow! And my e-mail is l y n n 1 5 5 1 at yahoo.com.
ReplyDeleteGreen all the way :) California girl!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a white Christmas. In my mind it just make sense.I'm from the Northeast and almost every Christmas movie I grew up with depicts a white Christmas.
ReplyDeletei live in Hawaii so i have never experienced a white Christms, either. I'd love to see one! But for now, i'll say GREEN
ReplyDeleteI love the look of a white Christmas, but it always makes travel hard and my husband and I's families are all spread out! So... maybe just a little white? I do prefer a white Christmas tree though! :D threnodynx (at) gmail (dot) com
ReplyDeleteGotta have a white Holiday Season. I wish I still lived in Buffalo where it more likely to happen.
ReplyDeletePS: My favorite holiday song is 'Snow' from White Christmas. :-D
I am from the Caribbean, so I grew up with 80 degree weather and I always wonder what it was like to have snow, now that I do I love it. I am going with a white Christmas, cuddle at home, drinking hot cocoa and watching bad movies :)

I prefer the green christmas, born and raised in socal, I wouldn't be able to survive in the snow!

I love a white Christmas! I live in Chicago and that is the only time I want to see snow, unfortunately I usually get more than that.
ReplyDeletedebbiebarsotti@gmail.com
I had a white Christmas for the first time in my life in 2010...it didn't start until Christmas night but it was the best! Living South Carolina, I would love more White Christmases.:)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a GREEN Christmas. I work for State Road Maintenance. If it snows on Christmas I will be working!!
ReplyDeleteoops...email is drfkpm@bellsouth.net
DeleteI'm with you! I prefer a white Christmas with lots of hot cocoa!!
ReplyDeleteAngelad.fischer@yahoo.com
White! Actually I love snow anytime. Maybe because I never saw much of it before moving to Ohio from Arkansas a couple years ago, everyone here thinks I'm crazy for loving the snow :P alicialbaird@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteGreen. I think the snow makes it feel more christmasy but i absolutely hate it!
ReplyDeleteI would love a white Christmas. I hate snow but I'd love it if we got it for Christmas. Funny, it used to snow at Christmas all of the time here in my neck of the woods. We moved here and not one white Christmas, since. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteMy e-mail is: erikatheicyone (at) yahoo (dot) com
Thanks for this giveaway.
I prefer a green Christmas because I'm usually the one that has to shovel the driveway and sidewalk when it snows.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a white Christmas. I love snow. :-)

I prefer a White Christmas but being in the state of WA it's usually green.

Happy Holidays, Mary! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI definitely prefer a white Christmas, but the snow can GTHO right after the first of the year. I don't think we'll have a white Christmas in KC this year (we haven't had one for a few years), since it was 74 degrees yesterday and it's in the 60s today.

I'd love to have a white Christmas! it's so beautiful and we've never had one before!!!

I love a white Christmas, as long as I don't have to travel anywhere. It's so beautiful. I live in NH so we always have a good chance at a white Christmas.
ReplyDeletejryder416 at yahoo dot com
I prefer a white Christmas because it rarely happens here and it is beautiful to see when it does happen.

My Christmas color is green, it reminds me of Christmas trees :3

I live in California and have never had a white Christmas, so I THINK I would like one, but the reality may differ from my imagination xD

ReplyDeleteI love a white Christmas. There is a hush that comes over everything when it snows that is comforting to me. It makes everything so beautiful and just seems appropriate for the holiday.
ReplyDeleteg(dot)penta(dot)g[at]hotmail(dot)com
I'm all for the traditional Christmas so white snowy christmas all the way! It makes everything just so much more crisp and stunning.

I follow through GFC
Green!! I get cold easily...lol. I do like the way a white Christmas looks though, but we don't have too many of those in SoCal or South Texas.
ReplyDeleteA white Christmas. It doesn't feel like Christmas without snow. The spirit of the holidays are there, but it feels like something is missing without snow.
