Christmas Blessings Giveaway!
The most wonderful time of the year is upon us. And some of the best things about this time of year is that it’s a time of gratitude, togetherness, and celebration.
I have teamed up with some pretty generous bloggers for the 9th annual Christmas Blessings Giveaway to bless FIVE families this year. In the past we have had two winners for this giveaway, but this year we wanted to give to even more families – we are giving away $200 gift cards to 5 families!
Each winner will get a $200 gift card to wherever they choose – a restaurant, clothing store, grocery store, online retailer – any place that offers gift cards!
There are lots of entry options in the Rafflecopter form below – the more you enter, the better your chance of winning! I know it can seem tedious and time consuming to go through all the entries, but isn’t a chance at $200 worth it? I think it is! Plus, all of these amazing bloggers donated their own money towards the prizes, so this giveaway wouldn’t be possible without them. I hope you’ll take the time to check out each one. Who knows, maybe you will find some new blogs to follow.
The giveaway will run from Monday, November 14th through Wednesday, November 23rd (ends at 11:59pm EST). Winner will be notified by email shortly after the giveaway ends and will have 48 hours to respond to claim the prize or another winner will be drawn. By entering this giveaway, you agree to be added to the email lists of the participating bloggers. Please be sure to read the Rafflecopter terms and conditions upon entering.

Great ideas Jannie! I will be celebrating my first Christmas with my kids year and I really wanted to plan something good for them and their mother. Thank you for the amazing ideas!
Here are a few Christmas-themed science experiments that you can try at home:
Candy Cane Chromatography: Using a coffee filter and water, separate the colors in a candy cane to see how different dyes are used to create the colors.
Christmas Tree Light Bulb Circuit: Create a simple circuit using a Christmas tree light bulb, battery, and wire to learn about electrical circuits.
Peppermint Oobleck: Mix cornstarch and water to make Oobleck, then add peppermint extract and food coloring to create a festive, sensory experience.
Crystal Snowflakes: Create your own snowflakes by growing salt or borax crystals, using pipe cleaners or paper to create the shape of a snowflake.
Gingerbread House Earthquake: Build a gingerbread house and test its structural integrity by simulating an earthquake using a shake table or by gently pushing on the walls.
These experiments can be a great way to have fun and learn about science during the Christmas season.
