Ok, I'm back… needed to take a little break and spend time with my kids this weekend! Thanks to my friends who have been participating, commenting and patiently waiting for the next giveaway.

Day 5's question was: What's your favorite Christmas Song? 
and the winner for Day 5 selected from Random.org is ……..Carol Hopper! 

Thank you Carol… "Grandma got run over by a Reindeer" is a classic… I can remember the first time I hear it was when I was about 7 years old on the clock radio in my parent's bedroom. By brother and I rolled on the floor laughing our heads off!  That's a flashback to the 70's Panasonic clock radios where the numbers were on a rolodex mechanism and would occasionally  get stuck.. and struggle to flip to the next number… anyone else remember these Panasonic clock radios?

Day 5 prize is a Linda S. Marino Art 2014 Calendar featuring many of my 6 x 6 paintings I did during the first 30 in 30 Challenge in January of this past year. Please send me your address Carol and I will put it in the mail for you… thanks again… I appreciate all your comments and participation!

Day 6 Question:  What is your favorite Christmas memory?

This was a tough one for me because I have several I could share but I'll narrow it down to one…
Since I'm stuck in the 70's right now with my Panasonic clock radio…. the year was 1970? maybe.. I was about 5 or 6.. I'm sure my mom could chime in with the correct year…. it was Christmas Eve,  with my dad's side of the family.. all my cousins… we were in the living room at my Uncle Joe and Aunt Ginny's house and all of a sudden we see two bright lights shining in the front window… everyone ran to the front door and there was Santa driving a blue and white convertible mustang right up on the front lawn! A gift for my Aunt Ginny! That was truly amazing and unforgettable !

I will be giving away something on my blog for seven ( not so straight) days. 
here's the link to sign up:
Linda's Art Blog
To qualify for the daily drawing you will be required to do something … nothing big…. maybe leave a comment…or make a suggestion…. share a link… it's all fun  … the prizes will include: a free print, free calendar, even a free mini painting! It's all for fun. And in the spirit of giving!
So, sign up today and get ready to win something!

I have to say the year my brother Dan dressed up has Santa, Your brother was about 3 and really into the Batman tv show,
So that Christmas Eve dan got dressed in red thermal underwear, green snow boots and a red coat that was my Mom's and went across the st to your house to surprise your brother, the look on Mickey' face was priceless. I think that was in 1966.
