Day #22 Gift > 3 free one-month memberships to The Veggie Club

Back on Day #12, I had a contest to give away a $25 gift certificate for Amazon.com  (.ca), and the winner was Sally.  Here’s her Christmas story:

A few years ago I had my first Christmas in my apartment. This was a turning point for me as I had always gone home for Christmas. I was living in Montreal Nord on Henri Bourassa Blvd. I am from Nova Scotia and my mother had come to visit me. I had thought of everything, almost. Being 20 years old, on my on and in the big city, I was not completely domesticated. I bought a turkey and all the trimmings. After we opened presents Christmas morning it was time to put the turkey in the oven.

Where was the roasting pan? In my mother’s kitchen in Nova Scotia…at the store…but not in my apartment.

Being a very resourceful person, my mother came to the rescue and we roasted the turkey in the only thing available….a muffin tin. I will tell you that in a pinch it worked great! All the drippings were collected in the muffin cups and we were able to make a nice gravy. And the turkey was very tasty!

Cheers, Sally

Congratulations to Sally for being the 12th person to send in a story that day.  And thanks to everyone who has been following along on these 29 days of giving… It’s been quite an experience for me.  At this time of year we’re often thinking of donations to others, but to continue to ‘give’ each and every day has been a gentle stretch for me that I have quite enjoyed. Some days I can’t think of anything to give… when really, we all have so much we can offer each other…

Today’s gift:

I have 3 free one-month memberships to The Veggie Club (value $9.95/month) to give away to the first three people who write me and tell me what their favourite Christmas (holiday) food is.  For example, Christmas wouldn’t be the same without homemade cranberry relish, or Gramma’s pumpkin pie, or cherry surprises?  So, let me hear from you.  What food tradition is the BEST part about Christmas for you.  Send me an email, I can’t wait to hear what you have to share.

All best,
Shelley
