Friends, you know it’s not the Christmas season without some sort of holiday giveaway from me, right? As I’ve told you in years past, I love to play Santa and this year is no different. In fact, I can feel a Ho, Ho, Ho about to burst forth this very minute—and it’s only December 3rd!
With merry wishes for the warmth of the season to be yours, I give you the Little Christmas Warmth Giveaway! The winner of this cozy little giveaway will win a $15 gift card to Starbucks. Yummy, huh?
Just leave a comment on this blog post by 6 p.m (CST) next Wednesday Dec. 9, and I’ll announce the winner in my midweek post the next day. Any comment will do, but to make it more fun, tell me your favorite warm-me-up drink. Mine would have to be hot chocolate :)
As we warm up our chilled bodies this season with piping hot drinks, let’s not to forget to warm up our souls as well. Let’s carve out a few quiet moments each day to reflect on the glorious gift of our Savior’s birth. As we are touched anew by his great love, our souls will be filled with a true Christmas warmth that will naturally spill out onto others. What do you say? Let’s spread the warmth!

This is my type of giveaway! I love pumpkin spice lattes as well as gingerbread lattes, but I haven’t seen those this year!
I knew you would like this particular giveaway, Kristin :) Here’s hoping the gingerbread lattes will soon be available!
I recently discovered Chai Latte
Welcome, Erma! So glad to see you here!
Hot chocolate for me too!
Why does that not surprise me, Carolyn? :) In the spirit of White Christmas, “Sisters, sisters . . .” :)
So thankful for the gift of our Savior this season and everyday
Me, too, Lorie! So glad to see you here!
Don’t know if you got my reply. Give me chai latte or flavor tea
Got your comment, Phyllis. Thanks for coming by!
Usually it is hot chocolate but recently I’ve been enjoying White Hot Chocolate.
Karen, I didn’t even know White Hot Chocolate existed. Sounds yummy!
Oh my! Could I ever use some Starbucks!!! The last few weeks have been very difficult and I this will give some needed comfort!
Kathy, so sorry to hear you’ve been going through some difficult days. Prayers and comfort to you!
Pumpkin spice latte with whip!
You’ve got the right idea, Elaine — don’t forget the whipped cream! :)
I really enjoy having coffee with some peppermint mocha creamer in the mornings especially! And hot chocolate is a definite favorite as well!
Hi Christina! So nice to see you here! Love your idea for a touch of peppermint!
Looks like you have received alot of responses on the give away. :) I’m sure I could find a good use for a Starbucks gift card. Choose me!
Debbie, last year when I did a Starbuck’s giveaway, I had a lot of response, too. I may have to do another Starbuck’s giveaway before winter is over! :) Oh, and good luck on being chosen! :)
Cheryl:
I just love your warm heart and spirit. My daughter lost her brother-in-law to colon cancer yesterday and I was looking so forward to reading one of your posts because they make me feel better in this sometimes harsh world. Jason fought for life like no other but he was finally able to let go and let God take him home. We’ve all been given blessings and they should never be taken for granted… he would have loved me sharing that we both enjoyed a hot chai tea!
Tamra, I’m so sorry your family is going through the loss of a loved one. Such a heartbreaking time. May God comfort you all! (And thanks so much for your kind words about me and my blog. What an encouragement!)
I love hot chocolate with whipped cream
Susan, welcome! Love your hot drink idea. Right up my alley! :)
My favorite hot drink is hot chocolate that my precious Mother used to make for me. There was no instant mix back in the day, so she would take cocoa powder, add sugar and a small amount of milk to make a paste then mix that into the warmed on the stove milk. We would enjoy the warm drink with one of her cookies during the Christmas season. Happy memories as she is celebrating with the One we celebrate.
Carolyn, welcome! What a precious memory of your mom. I lost my mom a couple of years ago so I know how treasured those memories are. Thanks for sharing!
Hot chocolate and gingerbread latte!
Two favorites, huh, Kelli? Kristin mentioned gingerbread lattes, too, but hasn’t found them yet this season. Hope you’ve had better luck! :)
hot chocolate
Welcome, bn100! You picked my favorite! :)
Mmm, I can’t resist trying. :) My favorite hot drink is freshly-brewed coffee.
