Week Two, Day Five -- All About Christmas

'Twas a week before Christmas and all over the net,
I was entering sweepstakes to see what I could get.

My fingers on keys went clickety-clack.
I was in it to win it--there was no turning back.

I typed all day and I typed all night
while I entered every Christmas sweepstakes in sight.

"You're not a winner," "Please try again,"
I read over and over to my chagrin.

Just as I thought my work was in vain,
I got a new message that wasn't the same.

"Congratulations," it said as I read it with glee.
"You have just won an aluminum tree!"

I lifted my brows in unhappy surprise,
then reminded myself, "well at least it's a prize."

When my prize came in, I errected the tree.
And it stood in pink splendor for all to see.

So I promised myself that I'd never again,
enter a sweeps I did not want to win.

In the meantime I have just one more thing to write:
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

You'll have to excuse my (Teresa) stab at both humor and poetry. It's almost Christmas and I am getting positively giddy. That's why I thought today would be a great day to enter Christmas related sweepstakes. All of the sweepstakes on today's list have something to do with Christmas and most of them end very soon so enter them while you have the chance.

Good luck and we'll see you on Monday!
