Forget Holiday Shopping! Win the GRAND PRIZE – HighTechDad’s Gift-a-Day Giveaway (Day 5)
Boy, this giving away of free stuff is hard work (actually it is, writing posts and all)! But it sure feels rewarding. While I would have loved to have kept many of the items that I have been giving out, there are many people out there who deserve it for one reason or another. So that is why I’m doing this. Again, I’m not in this for anything really. You don’t have to follow me on Twitter (I want that process to be as organic as possible). Sure, I ask for some traffic to my blog, but that will be gone after I give all of the stuff away. However, it would be great if you read through some of my content and perhaps subscribe to my RSS feed and come back and visit.
This won’t be the last giveaway that I do, they are pretty cool actually so be sure to check back regularly. Anyway, enough we my soapboxing. You want to see what the GRAND PRIZE consists of…well here you go! Oh, and YES, you get EVERTHING that is listed below! So forget about all of the holiday shopping. If you win this, you are done!

Wow another awesome giveaway. I almost missed out I have been so busy trying to prep my house to get ready to sell but with 2 year old triplets running around it is a lot of work. With me in the process of relocating to a new state at the start of the new year this holiday shopping is going to be hard to find time to do but winning this would cut some of my shopping down for sure. Thanks for a chance at winning. Good luck to everyone. My Twitter name is @jst4tim

And here is my “creative” entry as to why I want to win this giveaway.
———————————————————————————————————————————————-
And there I was, my heart beating faster and faster, a clear lack of breath grasping at each last drop of life consuming oxygen as though they were a policeman in a donut shop. *Thud* *Thump* I could hear them, they weren’t far off. To be honest, I’m not even sure how I made it this far. Why? Why am I still alive? There were others more intelligent, stronger, and even those who had sharper instincts. So why… why was I still alive? What was it that made me so special?
I could hear the crashing of metal cabinets and cans beating against the floor like the waves against rocks. The lights began to flicker as I made my way from store to store in what was left of the local mall. Their growls could be heard floating on the air from all over the city. *laughs* Yeah, it’s finally happened. We’ve all seen those movies, you know, those movies by that Romero guy with the zombies rising up and eating people. Yeah, I wish it was like that. What I’d do for a slow, scrawny, decomposing zombie right about now. No… what I’ve got to deal with is worse, much worse. Mother freaking Santa Zombies… yea, you heard me, Santa zombies.
Don’t ask me how it happened; don’t ask me who’s to blame. I don’t know. All I know is I’ve got 300 lbs of jolly cheer hot on my tail and the only way to stop them is with gifts. Strange, right? Tell me about it. 300lbs of pure jolly killing machine… they can see in the dark, smell you from 800 yards away and move faster than my Buick on a cold winter’s morning. But that’s it. Those jolly son of a guns seem to have a bone to pick with everyone for the years of service in malls and stores all across the world; listening to kid after kid present their list of demands and leave the jolly ol’ man with a wet lap. Apparently it’s our turn now… our turn. These mindless beasts aren’t willing to just leave it be. And nobody’s stopped one yet. As far as I’ve seen they are near invulnerable. Shot after shot, pound after pound, they always get up and keep coming. But you drop a gift their way and they stop dead in their tracks.
No, I’m not the fastest guy ever. Nor am I the strongest or the smartest. I’m the man looking for gifts and keeping everyone else alive. And that is why I want to win this giveaway. One more present means one more chance at a tomorrow.

I would love to win this so I could give the stuff away as gifts to family and friends. My brother would me so happy if he got the Raven Squad game for the wii.
My email is tong@jugglingwithjohn.com.
I deserve to win! You know why? Because I'm the Geeky Daddy of the Year. Love Me and only ME! Stand in my way and be struck down fear my battle cry… FOR PONY!!!!!! No really I want this lol.
It was early December 2009, most people were excited for the Holiday season, their favorite holiday was on its way and the times couldn't be better. It was the sense of family, sharing and tradition that would bring so many families together, and at least, for one or two nights, help them forget any of the tragedies occurring to them that year. Millions worry what type of gifts they must provide to their family members, whether it be to compete and gain the title of 'Best Uncle/Aunt' or simply to make their nieces and nephews happy. However, when it comes down to it, the gifts are just a bonus to Christmas, no matter how tough a family has it, they always find a way to celebrate the best Christmas possible.
It is people like HighTechDad and countless others who through their kindness and support help make the holiday season more enjoyable for those which have been put in an unfavorable situation. As stated above, winning a gift pack of this size would help out- there is really something for every child, with the protective phone cases being possible gifts to older relatives. In my case, these gifts aren't something that I would use particularly, but they are something I'm sure close relatives would like, and having just to wrap them up and hand them out would make life much simpler.
Whether or not I win, the fact that someone has taken the time to collect or provide these items to those who need them more is what needs to be acknowledged- Christmas brings out the best in people, and it is a demonstration of solidarity and humanity when the less well off and looked after and cared for by those who are better off.
I personally want to thank Michael Sheehan, because I'm sure he's help out many people whether it be for personal use or to give something out as a gift with his Candyshell giveaway, Speck Aftpack giveaway and the others which he provided so selflessly. Best wishes from my family to yours- once again, thank you very much.
