Wii Fit Plus Giveaway!

December 8, 2009 by nancyjrab


Ah, the holiday season.  A chance to spend time with loved ones….eating.

A time to go out and celebrate.  And eat.

A time to have more excuses to stuff your face than any other time of the year.  (With the possible exception of birthdays.  After forty, the only way through a birthday is with spoon in one hand, ice cream in the other.)

This holiday season, however, I am offering you an out: A free copy of Wii Fit Plus.

In my never ending quest to be – if not thin – then at least thinner than I have been most of my adult life, I have tried it all.  Starting back in High School when I went on The Woman Doctor’s Diet for  Teenaged Girls (which involved eating nothing but oranges and hamburgers for a week. Really) to the low-fat hi-carb/lo-carb-high fat crazes, to relatively sane diets like  Weight Watchers, or simply shutting my mouth every once in a while. (I’m writing a book about that one, it’s going to be called: The Get up off your Lazy Ass and Stop Stuffing your Face Diet.)

But the bottom line for me, a woman who has weighed more or less the same (within 5 pounds – other than pregnancy) for more than twenty-five years, is that I need to exercise to change my body. (or get Swine Flu. Neither a very tempting option.)

I have more excuses for NOT going to the gym than reasons to go there.  I don’t have time.  I have a headache.  I have to cook dinner/go shopping/write a post/pull out my toenails with a tweezer.  Basically, ANYTHING but exercise.  But then this new crop of exercise games for the Wii showed up.  The Wii Fit basically ruined any chance I had of ever having a believable, justifiable excuse not to exercise.

For those of you who haven’t heard of it (like, say, those of you who never read, watch tv, listen to the radio, or are anywhere within 100 feet of a child) the Wii Fit was Nintendo’s genius idea to make the already pretty good for exercising Wii into a true exercise machine.  The Wii Fit tracks your exercise success by letting you set weight loss and BMI goals, and then letting you know who you’re doing.  You get an avatar trainer. and then follow along with the Mii’s as you do a series of balance, strenght, or aerobic exercises.  It’s fun, and it works. (Not that it’s the greatest workout ever, but it sure beats sitting at home and typing on a computer, which is what I’m doing right now. Yeah.)

The Wii Fit Plus, the latest incarnation of their already enormously successful game, takes it all one step farther.  Now you get to choose your workout, personalize it, set how much time you want to spend, pick a pre-set routine, or make up your own.  There’s a locker room, and more choices, more ways to personalize.

I’d do it more myself, but I have to cook dinner/go shopping/write a post/give away my copy. (full disclosure: it’s one of two free copies that Nintendo sent me.  One for review, one to give away.  And I’m giving it.)

So, do you want to get in shape without having to leave your home?  Or, if it doesn’t really get you in shape, do you want to at least not turn into a total slug in this, the how much can you eat in one six week period holiday season?

Leave a comment below, telling me what holiday indulgence is your worst, and I’ll enter you to win a brand-spanking new copy of Wii Fit Plus. (please note: you need to own a Wii Fit Balance Board to use this game.  Don’t say I didn’t warn you.) Winner will be chosen by random.org on Sunday, December 13th at 9pm. Contest open to US residents 18 and older.

Want more chances to win?  Link back to this post on your own website, and I’ll enter you again every time someone links over. Tweet this contest, and include the hashtag #hip2housewife giveaway, and I’ll enter you yet again.

Hey, everyone could use a little flab insurance over the holidays.  Why not you?

    Holiday indulgence is the worst because: We make goody bags for friends, teachers and coworkers: Must sample

    People bring goodies to work: Must sample.

    Etc…


  2. on December 8, 2009 at 3:17 pm ginacarruba

    My worst holiday indulgence is and will always be … my Mom’s homemade pecan pie covered in whipped cream! I can taste it just thinking about it! :)

    My family and I have had a weight loss contest going for about 6 weeks – we took a break until the 1st of next year, so that is my 2nd worst holiday indulgence!

    Please enter me in your contest! I have been looking at the Wii Fits, wanting one for a few weeks now!

    I am also going to link to you and hope tons of people click the link :)

    Thanks!!

    I have been so horrible. The cookies that I make for the kids are so hard to resist. Totally my downfall.


  5. on December 10, 2009 at 11:55 am Kathy Luman

    My worst problem is that my husband is away at Afghanistan and I’ll I do when I’m at home is sit in front of the computer and eat. Depression has set in. For some they stop eating for me I continously eat. I know I need to get up off my butt and do something but there is no motivation or drive to get me going. Maybe this would be the answer.


  6. on December 10, 2009 at 12:27 pm Alice

    My worse is the cookies and cakes I make. I must quit.


  7. on December 10, 2009 at 1:07 pm Julie N

    The hardest to resist? Toss up between the rich, buttery decorated sugar cookies or the fudge.


  8. on December 10, 2009 at 3:30 pm Heather M

    Peanut Butter Cream pie is my indulgence! as well as Pecan Pie


  9. on December 10, 2009 at 3:31 pm Rebecca Levey

    Worst holiday indulgence? Peppermint Jo Jos from Trader Joes. Really, could oreos get any better? And, maybe listening to way more Christmas music than a nice Jewish girl from Brooklyn really should. (but does it count if all the songs were written by Jews?)
    By the way, love the name change on the blog!


  10. on December 10, 2009 at 3:40 pm Carol

    It’s Christmas Cookies, I can’t resist them.

    My worst holiday indulgence is fudge it is so addicting I can’t stop eating it

    :) Thank you for the wonderful giveaway! :)


  13. on December 10, 2009 at 5:13 pm Yoly @ Cuponeando

    Oh, that’s easy any sweet will get me during the Holidays. If it has a hint of sugar I’ll eat :)


  14. on December 10, 2009 at 5:17 pm Becky

    Mine is fudge. I am trying so hard not to make any this year. haha. I hope I make can make it through with out doing it.


  15. on December 10, 2009 at 5:32 pm Rosemary

    The Christmas cookie DOUGH as I make cookies for friends, family, teachers, coworkers, etc. Of course, then there are the actual cookies that I am duty bound to sample.

    Ugh.


  16. on December 10, 2009 at 5:46 pm Amber Humphries

    My holiday indulgence is anything with sugar. There are just too many yummie cookies, candies, and pies to choose just one from = )


  17. on December 10, 2009 at 7:13 pm Ann F

    Christmas cookies are my weakness, and you can only get them this time of year!


  18. on December 10, 2009 at 7:24 pm Sonya Sparks

    Mine is pecan pie :) I can’t get enough of it.


  19. on December 10, 2009 at 7:25 pm Sue E

    My worst indulgence, hmm, can I just say everything? Seriously at the holidays I eat way too much, but probably cheesecake and candied yams is the biggest problem for me. Thanks for the chance to win!


  20. on December 10, 2009 at 8:55 pm Sue

    Caramel popcorn. I make it for my neighbors every year and I think eat more myself than actually leaves my house. Thanks for the giveaway!!


  21. on December 10, 2009 at 8:58 pm ky2here

    Eggnog – I know how horrible it is but I find myself swilling it down!


  22. on December 10, 2009 at 10:34 pm Michele

    Thank you for the giveaway. My worst is all of the sweets made during the holidays!! Fudge, cookies, etc.


  23. on December 10, 2009 at 10:57 pm Daniel M

    anything chocolate – cake brownies cookies – they’re my bane, and i need this to get some winter exercise until it warms up outside!


  24. on December 10, 2009 at 11:47 pm Lissa L

    Definitely I go overboard on the pecan pie & any scrumptious appetizer that is put in front of me:)

    Cookies.

    PIES EVERY KIND LOL


  29. on December 11, 2009 at 10:35 am Constance L.

    Hmmm worst holiday indulgence? I would have to say just overeating everything in site.


  30. on December 11, 2009 at 12:11 pm Monique Rizzo

    Fudge with nuts FOR SURE!! Thanks for the chance.

  31. on December 11, 2009 at 3:05 pm Julie Rose

    Mint bark…..Hershey’s is now making kisses that are essentially kiss-shaped blobs of mint bark and they are heaven. I could eat 20 without thinking. i’d love to win the Wii Fit for my kids’ sitter who has recently lost 13 lbs and has 62 to go! She needs the indoor exercise to keep her going.


  32. on December 11, 2009 at 3:58 pm Happi Shopr

    any kind of fudge – i just can’t stay away from it.


  33. on December 11, 2009 at 4:35 pm Ann Harmon

    My indulgence is sweets. Candy. Cookies yummm.


  34. on December 11, 2009 at 4:49 pm Tesa S.

    For the holidays it is traditional for me to cook all the sweets my grandmother used to, i.e., pecan pie, pumpkin pie, chocolate pie, pralines, fudge and fruitcake loaf. Therein lies the problem, cooking them and not at least tasting them makes a terrible chef! I also love making cut-out sugar cookies with the kids and decorating with icing.


  35. on December 11, 2009 at 8:02 pm Joy F

    Christmas cookies is my indulgence. I can’t get enough. I always have way to much. This would help burn some off. Thanks.


  36. on December 11, 2009 at 8:28 pm Vicki Wurgler

    my mother makes fudge and caramels that are the best! That is my indulgence


  37. on December 11, 2009 at 8:31 pm jennifer O

    Christmas lights is our biggest and worst indulgence. PG and E bill is outrageous!


  38. on December 11, 2009 at 8:58 pm Jen

    Homemade sugar cookies!


  39. on December 11, 2009 at 9:07 pm Theresa

    I’m a sucker for seasonal flavors like Eggnog Lattes and Candy Cane Ice Cream, it’s out of control!


  40. on December 11, 2009 at 10:00 pm AshleyOhio

    Holiday cookies and sweets! I just can’t seem to stop making bon bons and other treats.

  42. on December 11, 2009 at 10:20 pm Annette D

    I have the same problem every year! All of my friends are such good cooks and are generous with their wonderful baked goods. My downfall is anything chocolate, especially fudge.


  43. on December 11, 2009 at 10:34 pm Renee H.

    My worst holiday indulgence is all the yummy desserts at Christmas parties! Yum, but bad at the same time.


  44. on December 11, 2009 at 10:39 pm Alicia L.

    Worst indulgence…sweets and an inability to spend time outside because it is far too cold.


  45. on December 11, 2009 at 10:44 pm Mellissa C

    My worst holiday indulgence is sugar cookies and pies.


  46. on December 11, 2009 at 10:50 pm Nancy

    I love ice cream without limit.


  47. on December 11, 2009 at 11:21 pm denyse

    Shortbread is irresistable.


  48. on December 11, 2009 at 11:23 pm amy

    Over indulgence in friends holiday get togethers is always my thing – hor d’ovoures (spelling) and such. But…we’re in a new state at a new base and in a motel with no kitchen while we look for a place to live…so my holiday overindulgence will likely be at the buffet we go to for Christmas.


  49. on December 11, 2009 at 11:31 pm chelsey

    My worst indulgence is candy canes!


  50. on December 11, 2009 at 11:56 pm Laura

    Fudge, and anything with pecans in it!


  51. on December 12, 2009 at 2:48 am Angela Gaffke

  54. on December 12, 2009 at 4:05 am Erica C.

    Cookies are my biggest problem! Everyone gives me cookies…I love them, but wooooo, I need some extra exercise to keep them off my stomach!


  55. on December 12, 2009 at 4:07 am Christie

    We always make huge piles of homemade Christmas cookies and I cannot keep my hands off them. It is an addiction.


  56. on December 12, 2009 at 5:47 am Scott Bergman

    afternoon drinking is my worst holiday habit.


  57. on December 12, 2009 at 8:08 am Kathy Scott

    Oreo cookie truffles


  58. on December 12, 2009 at 8:26 am Tawnda

    the cookies are the hardest to resist


  59. on December 12, 2009 at 9:39 am Candie L

    Our holiday splurge is our babies. I will go in with a budget and we always find something to put us over. Thank you


  60. on December 12, 2009 at 10:49 am Amy B

    my worst Holiday treat is the pies. I can really go without eating many cookies (maybe 2) BUT pie is my weakness. Pecan, pumpkin, or apple it just doesn’t matter. I also don’t make different treats all that much but sometimes I eat homemade buckeyes that I make about every 3 years.


  61. on December 12, 2009 at 10:55 am Kelly

    Christmas drinks from Starbucks, namely gingerbread lattes and eggnog lattes. Oh, sure, I’ll ask for them to be made with skim milk, but then I demand whipped cream on top.


  62. on December 12, 2009 at 11:24 am Cheryl

    For me, my Dad’s homemade fudge is what I can’t resist!


  63. on December 12, 2009 at 11:34 am Diane Baum

  69. on December 12, 2009 at 12:59 pm Kristie

    My worst holiday indulgence is the mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole.


  70. on December 12, 2009 at 1:26 pm The Sweepstaker

    For me, it’s the sweets. I can resist them any other time of the year, but not around the holidays. It’s my weakness.

    My biggest holiday indulgence is sweets. I avoid them every other time of the year, but during the Winter I can’t seem to. I crave them too much.


  74. on December 12, 2009 at 2:18 pm roseh2o19

    my worst indulgence during the holidays is too much avoidance of family


  75. on December 12, 2009 at 2:23 pm Laura P.

    Holiday cookies, especially if they’re homemade…I just can’t seem to refuse them.


  76. on December 12, 2009 at 2:44 pm Melissa H.

    My worst holiday indulgence are the cheesy potato casseroles my sister insists on bringing to our family parties. They are cheesy & full of butter & sour cream !


  77. on December 12, 2009 at 3:25 pm Aniela

    My worst is usually chocolate chips since we have so many around for all the baking that’s going on, I can’t help myself to handfuls constantly.

  80. on December 12, 2009 at 4:16 pm Walter ARnett

    One indulgence I partake in is eating. It is hard not to eat a lot when you are around my family. One indulgence I am also taking part in is spending probably too much money at christmas.


  81. on December 12, 2009 at 4:18 pm Judy G

  88. on December 12, 2009 at 7:22 pm Aisling

    Cookies and fudge. I’m baking and everyone I know is baking and we taste while we’re making the goodies and then we give them to each other. I love the holidays but I’d love even more to have a Wii Fit Plus after they’re over.


  89. on December 12, 2009 at 7:47 pm Rosey

  105. on December 12, 2009 at 11:19 pm Jenny Gibbons

    My horrible Holiday indulgence is hard sauce. Confectioner’s sugar, creamed into pure butter, with just a spoonful of vanilla to flavor it. Sugar + fat… the perfect combination to go straight to your waistline…


  106. on December 13, 2009 at 12:03 am Sharon H

    I work at a grocery store that imports a lot of chocolate from Austria and Germany. I can’t help trying them all.

    Fudge
    Sugar Cookies
    Seven layer bars
    Exercising during the holidays here are a must.

    Cookies are the worst. My mom makes these to-die-for cookies and I just have to eat a couple, and a couple turns into way too many more, especially when she sends some home with me. So please pick me!!


  109. on December 13, 2009 at 12:18 am Gail Crawford

    Eating all the lucious cakes and pies is my downfall.


  110. on December 13, 2009 at 12:27 am Kat U

    I need to lose the last 30 lbs. The Wii Plus would really helpful. Thanks for the giveaway.

    Chocolate is definitely the holiday indulgence for me! I have a bunch of Hershey’s Kisses I keep going & snacking on :P


  115. on December 13, 2009 at 1:31 am Chan

    Cookies, cakes and candy should be banned during the holidays! Once I start, I just can’t stop! Thanks for the giveaway!

    Cheesecake is my worst holiday indulgence!


  117. on December 13, 2009 at 2:28 am Brenda Park

    My worst holiday indulgence would be my homemade shortbread cookies….a lot of butter in the recipe. I even tried freezing them until I need them, which worked for awhile….until I discovered they taste great frozen!! Argh! Thanks for the chance to win Wii Fit, I’ve been thinking about buying it.


  118. on December 13, 2009 at 2:46 am virginia vorse

    Fudge, cookies, pies, cakes, you name it I’m going to eat it this holiday season. I’m not passing up my Mom’s homemade candy, cookies and pies…I’m just not! ;)

    Thank you!

  122. on December 13, 2009 at 6:27 am Steffany Elkins

    Fruit cake is my worst indulgence. I eat it until I get sick but still want more.


  123. on December 13, 2009 at 6:29 am Roger Whitaker

    I would have to say my worst indulgence is the holiday hams and turkeys. I always gain 20 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Years.


  124. on December 13, 2009 at 6:44 am Tracey Byram

    Chocolate peanut butter balls and sweet potato pie are my holiday indulgence.


  125. on December 13, 2009 at 7:13 am taylors

    Divinity Fudge, can we all say “yummylicious”?!?


  126. on December 13, 2009 at 7:37 am oneangel

    OK the worst is -CHRISTMAS COOKIES -that and a friend sends me TEN pounds of Amish Swiss Cheese every year as a gift :( —I REALLY don’t need either of them -


  127. on December 13, 2009 at 8:02 am Renee Borders

    Chocolate. All things chocolate. :)


  128. on December 13, 2009 at 8:35 am Tricia Andrews

    Why oh why can’t I stay away from the Christmas cookies? I seem to think they are a breakfast food around the holidays. And snacks. And sometimes part of my lunch and dinner…..


  129. on December 13, 2009 at 8:41 am Robin

    My worst is Christmas cookies which we have dozens of each Christmas folled by a close second by choculate


  130. on December 13, 2009 at 8:43 am Wendy

    Please nobody laugh here….but my worst indulgence is cookie dough. I start of the holiday with intent of making dozens of cookies.

    Then somthing just happens and takes over me. I start eating that darn dough and I can’t stop. By the time I’m done, we probaly have half the amount of baked cookies I had intended to make. And let me tell ya, my behind shows off my secret desire.

    Please help me shed my cookie dough butt! I need a Wii!


  131. on December 13, 2009 at 9:11 am Paula Harmon

    Grinch Balls…well, they are cornflake, marshmallow and butter treats (like a rice krispie treat), colored green and shaped into bars or balls. I make them for everyone and I can’t stop eating them this time of year.


  132. on December 13, 2009 at 9:24 am Elaine

    Sweets, esp. chocolate cover pretzels. I would love to win this. I just had my hip replaced and the cold outside along with the weather, it’s painful. I’ve been told I should exercise more and this is a wonderful way to do it indoors. Thanks for the chance!


  133. on December 13, 2009 at 9:42 am amy

    Mine worst holiday indulgence is cheese ball. As funny as it sounds, I am addicted! I will seriously steal the cheese ball from our holiday gatherings and eat the darn thing by myself (and they are not little cheese balls). :)


  134. on December 13, 2009 at 9:43 am Sydney

    Holiday indulgences – the worst must be cookies because I love to bake. This year (so far) has been more under control. Parties, holiday cocktails, cheese spreads, special cakes, breakfast rolls, OMG the list goes on! It is a great time of year to spread good cheer and a few extra pounds. I would absolutely love a WII Fit Plus!


  135. on December 13, 2009 at 10:22 am Gayle Morgan

    I eat way too many sweets – this would really help since I just had foot surgery a few days ago


  136. on December 13, 2009 at 10:24 am Rodolfo Andrade

    probably food… i probably gain a couple of pounds over the holidays…


  137. on December 13, 2009 at 10:25 am Karen Gonyea

    Fudge.


  138. on December 13, 2009 at 11:02 am Deb Armus

    The deserts are killers!

    my main problem on the holidays is the homemade chocolates my mother makes


  140. on December 13, 2009 at 11:09 am Sharon Howell

    Christmas cookies. Even if we don’t bake any ourselves we are sure to get a ton as gifts.


  141. on December 13, 2009 at 11:13 am amy d

    mine would be making brownies.they always stick.


  142. on December 13, 2009 at 11:27 am addrienne mertens

    chocolate…must stay away! summer sausage would be my all time fav for the hollidays. with the spicey hot mustard…geez i need some!!!

    Hersey Kisses!


  146. on December 13, 2009 at 11:56 am Kim

    OMG! I need this Wii Fit

    I know all about excuse after excuse and even after not being able to fit in those jeans, I still have an excuse. The Wii is very special so, all thats missing is the Wii fit plus.

    We have birthday after birthday in November and December so I indulge alot during the holidays. My favorite around this time would be turkey & dressing. Any excuse to go to Libby’s or a Diner that caters around this nice meal. I love to eat! Just need to balance it with exercise so I don’t gain another pound in 2010! I want that Wii Fit Plus!


  147. on December 13, 2009 at 12:28 pm Trisha

    sweets. its my downfall. i make them for all the neighbors and sample them all! fudge. cookies. brownies. ugh!

    THANKS. we have the balance board!


  148. on December 13, 2009 at 12:33 pm Jennifer b.

    I had bacon and sweet rolls for breakfast this morning. Nuff said.


  149. on December 13, 2009 at 12:59 pm HMC

    I always fall into the new years resolution mode…. I can eat this because I’ll change in the new year, lose weight in the new year, not eat that in the new year blah de blah de blah… yeah it never works, Soon I’ll be carrying around enough weight to be pregnant 3 times over.


  150. on December 13, 2009 at 1:05 pm Veronica Garrett

    My worst holiday indulgence is all the chocolate desserts that are so tempting.


  151. on December 13, 2009 at 1:10 pm aj lapp

    “we elves believe in the 4 major food groups – candy, candy corns, candy canes and syrup.”

    the movie elf sums me up…


  152. on December 13, 2009 at 1:34 pm Patricia S

    fudge..I even told my sisters not to even bring it to my house!


  153. on December 13, 2009 at 2:00 pm tammy

    CARBS, CARBS, CARBS, CARBS, CARBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  154. on December 13, 2009 at 2:10 pm Susan Smith

    fudge, cookies and egg nog


  155. on December 13, 2009 at 2:14 pm Kristy C

    My biggest problem during the holidays is all of the cookies and candy I make. It’s very easy to sneak quite a few while I’m baking! This would definitely come in handy. Thanks for the contest!


  156. on December 13, 2009 at 2:26 pm kathy pease

    my worst indulgence is the eggnog i love it and can drink it by the gallon :(


  157. on December 13, 2009 at 2:27 pm Lynn

    My worst holiday indulgence is cookies!!! Thanks for this giveaway.


  158. on December 13, 2009 at 2:36 pm Betty Curran

    I don’t know which is worse – sampling the Christmas cookies, potlucks at work, fast food on the run while shopping or all the party invitations. Seriously dangerous to a trim figure.


  159. on December 13, 2009 at 2:45 pm Tara W

    My worst is a tossup between the pecan divinity and the butter pecan meltaway cookies. I simply don’t have the willpower to resist.


  160. on December 13, 2009 at 2:48 pm helenlam

    The holiday desserts are definitely my weakness. Who can resist a little taste here and there?


  161. on December 13, 2009 at 3:03 pm katie

    My most tempting indulgence is the stocking candy!


  162. on December 13, 2009 at 3:28 pm Tim Hughes

    My worst indulgence during holidays is white chocolate pretzels.


  163. on December 13, 2009 at 4:12 pm R Hicks

    My worst holiday indulgence is oversampling the vast array of desserts at our family dinners. Everyone always insists to try this, try that and those calories add up very fast


  164. on December 13, 2009 at 4:15 pm R Hicks

    Chocolate is my biggest indulgence. Right now it would be truffles and peppermint bark.


  166. on December 13, 2009 at 4:21 pm Amy DeLong

    my worst is christmas cookies/pies!

    my holiday indulgence is eggnog


  170. on December 13, 2009 at 4:27 pm Gary Ray

    Ouch. Too many desserts (My husband says it isn’t Christmas without fudge, son “needs” Christmas cookies, daughter “has to” make a gingerbread house, and my childhood memories call for fruitcake.) On top of that, I belong to a small gym (which I love) that closes over the holidays. Ouch again!


  171. on December 13, 2009 at 4:54 pm Anne

    This is by far the most challenging part of my year (as far as weight-management is concerned).

    I do a lot of baking, and have to sample the goods, and I can’t resist all of the goodies at holiday parties!


  172. on December 13, 2009 at 5:16 pm Kimberly

    Too many sweets for the holidays


  173. on December 13, 2009 at 5:22 pm Roxanne Ellis Raymond

    Everything is tempting, but when I start making homemade cookies (for others, yeah that’s it) I just can’t resist. We just got the Wii and love it, and I’ve been looking at the fit


  174. on December 13, 2009 at 5:27 pm christopher h

    christmas cookies


  175. on December 13, 2009 at 5:36 pm Gianna

    Dozens and dozens of sugar cookies!


  176. on December 13, 2009 at 5:42 pm Jennifer Jozwiak

    Definitely pie. doesn’t even really matter what kind, I’ll love it, lol.


  177. on December 13, 2009 at 5:54 pm kelly wakefield

    My worst holiday indulgence is my grandmother’s fudge & my chocolate chip cookies


  178. on December 13, 2009 at 6:12 pm Angela Winesburg

    I love Christmas Cookies, I eat far more than Santa! Thanks for the chance!


  179. on December 13, 2009 at 6:49 pm Annette E

    I can’t resist See’s chocolate.


  180. on December 13, 2009 at 7:30 pm Sadie

    I make chocolate cookies for my kids…and I end up eating all of them :/

    Thanks for the chance!!!


  181. on December 13, 2009 at 7:39 pm Dree

    Sweet rolls always get me.


  182. on December 13, 2009 at 8:32 pm Tatum V

    My holiday indulgence is cookies and I let myself drink way to much Coke. Thanks

  184. on December 13, 2009 at 8:41 pm Heather Hart

    Holiday cookies.


  185. on December 13, 2009 at 8:52 pm DanV

    My worst is apple pie (with whipped cream)


  186. on December 13, 2009 at 8:56 pm Jay F.

    I think the worst indulgence is sampling while making dozens of cookies.


  187. on December 13, 2009 at 9:07 pm morninglight mama

    Pumpkin pie. Like a whole pie. Very, very bad.

    Thanks for the giveaway! :)


  188. on December 13, 2009 at 9:35 pm Sand

    I can’t keep myself away from the Christmas cookies!
