I love reading about Christmas traditions that have been established throughout the years. Roy and I have several but there is one tradition that I hold near and dear to my heart. The one particular one that I am thinking about is not necessarily a Christmas tradition.
When Roy received a raise right after we were married, we decided then that each time one of us got a raise, promotion or bonus that we would do something for someone else. Some times our gifts were given anonymously to people, some times we explained why we were giving a gift. It has been one of the most fun and special traditions in our 30 years of marriage.
Now knowing this tradition I would like to announce a give a way to begin the New Year on a good foot or hand. What better way than to start out the year with either a pedicure or manicure from SPA Nordstrom and I will give away a $50.00 gift card for that. Enter by leaving a comment letting me know you would like to participate. It goes without saying that no anonymous comment will be excepted. Gotta have a name or blog name. On Monday January 7th, when I return to work, I will have a co-worker draw a name. I will then contact the winner.
Believe me, a pedi or mani from The Nord is a good beginning. Oh, I will not be entering the contest as tempting as that might be.
Woo hoo! Enter me, sister!
ReplyDeletefunny i was going to comment on how you give me great gift ideas and almost going to take myself to the spa...Heaven forbid! So your sweet tradition is perfect..almost makes me want to give up my anonymity (sp?) how about anonymousity? anyway...what a nice tradition ...you are blessed!!
ReplyDeleteI CANNOT BELIEVE I AM THE FIRST TO LEAVE A COMMENT ON THIS SUBJECT!
ReplyDeleteof course - count me in! i'm no fool...
They are going to come out of the woodwork for this...but since I am a regular I don't count.

To comment or not to comment? That is the question. Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune...
ReplyDeleteOutrageous fortune would be the case if I won the drawing. What a lovely idea, Nancy. Thanks for being so creative in your giving and blessing the girls around you. :)
Who could pass up such pampering from the Nord?
ReplyDelete-Laurie
My name is not Dana. I promise. I don't know who Dana is. I am not sure why it says Dana. It would be cheating if Dana entered more than once. Truthfully my name is Dory. Yes, that's my name, Dory. I would like to win. Pick me. Thank you. Don't tell Dana if I win. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYour most adoring and loyal fan, Dory...
what about me... can i be included???
ReplyDeleteNever experienced the Nord Spa. (and I am ashamed to admit that we have one close to my home) Okay...you have sold me....enter me please.
ReplyDeleteHey Nancy-Count me in!!! If I win, and fly down there-let's go to lunch at the Bistro!! Oh, how I miss the Nord....especially the shoe department! Missy from OK
