Participants were asked to tell us what their favorite part of the holidays were, and there were so many great responses, ranging from being together with family, to the music, gifts, and of course, the food!

I’ve drawn a random winner from the entries, and am happy to announce that the winner is:

Heidi Gail!

About her favorite part of the holidays, Heidi said: “My favorite part of the holidays is when family and friends get together to celebrate. I love seeing familiar faces as well as new ones in the crowd. It’s so surprising to see how much the kids have grown and how well the little ones are talking since the last time I saw them.”

Congrats, Heidi!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the giveaway. Don’t forget to check out See’s Candies, both online and locally, for some great Christmas and holiday candy ideas!

Winner has been notified as of 11:00 am PDT, November 28th and has 24 hours to respond before a new winner is chosen.

Congratulations to Anita T, who says “I never met an M&M I didn’t like,” and to Debbie, who commented “I’m a dark chocolate fan & was thrilled when M&M’s started making the dark variety. I’m the only one in the house that likes the dark chocolate ones so I don’t have to hide the bag to make sure I get a few!”

“Yummy! I must admit I love this Hershey Barbie She embodies the chocolate perfectly! I LOVE plain ol’ Hershey Milk Chocolate bars.. they’re classic and I hope they never change. My earliest photo is me with a happy, over-indulged look and holding a Hershey bar the size of my head! My sister got me hooked on them RECENTLY, so I’d like to give her this delectable Barbie if I were to win. Thanks for the entry!”
