In the spirit of the Christmas holiday--and to help clean out my bookshelves--I'm giving away a signed copy of A CUP OF COMFORT FOR CHRISTMAS, which includes my true story, "Santa Wore Cowboy Boots."The true story takes place in Christmas 1981, when my husband, Walt; my children, Julie and Erik; and I lived in Southern Arizona. One afternoon before Christmas I was depressed about being so far away from my family back in Missouri. Julie and Erik were off school so I took them to see Santa at the local K-Mart.
"Santa Wore Cowboy Boots" is special to me because it's about the lesson my late son Erik taught me about the true spirit of Christmas.
To win a signed copy of A CUP OF COMFORT FOR CHRISTMAS, just leave a comment between now and December 5. The name of one winner will be picked at random. The winner's name will be announced next week.
But wait, there's more: To show my appreciation to my blog visitors for being so friendly and supportive all year long I will have a few giveaways this month, so check back later to see what other goodies you can win.
Merry Christmas!
This sounds like a winner, Donna. Count me in!

You're so sweet! I'd love to win it, Donna! A Cup of Comfort is always welcome!
ReplyDeleteThe title certainly piques my interest. I'm notoriously unlucky, but who knows...
ReplyDeleteDonna, put my name in the hat. I would love to win that book. Mary Nida
ReplyDeleteI can completley relate to being far from home at Christmas. I lived in Alaska. I'd love to read your story.
ReplyDeleteHi Madeline,
ReplyDeleteThanks for entering. I also entered the contest on your blog.
Hi Terri,
Got it. Good luck.
Hi Clara,
Thanks--and good luck!
Hi Sioux,
Hey, you could get lucky.
Donna
Hi Mary Nida,
I got your name in the hat! Good luck.
Donna
Hi Linda,
Yep. Alaska is a long way from home. At least you had snow--we had blue sky and sunshine--but that wasn't a bad thing.
Donna
Count me in as I would love to read another story of yours!
ReplyDeleteHi Donna - After learning more about your family over the last few months, I'm sure the story is a great one. Please put my name in the hat!
ReplyDeleteSign me up! I lived in Sierra Vista AZ for 2 years, '99-'00. We loved living at the base of the Huachuca moutains but it was a long way from home. We took the first opportunity to move closer.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on yet another published Christmas story!
ReplyDeleteYou're sweet to give something away. I'd love to be included in the contest but you don't have to give me something to have me check in to the blog. I love reading it anyway!
ReplyDeleteHi Donna! What a wonderful give-away. I'm in!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading DBP for a while but never commented--until now! I want to win that book and read your story, which sounds very touching, Donna! The imagery in the title already paints a nice picture. :)
