And to start off this challenge in a FUN Way we are having a Christmas Blessings Cash Giveaway!!

The Christmas season is upon us!  And while this is a joyous and festive time of the year, it can also be a time of financial stress and worry for some.

That is why I’m teaming up with 25 other bloggers to bring you a Christmas Blessings Giveaway for $500 Paypal cash!  We understand the stress of fulfilling our kids’ Christmas lists, or having an unexpected bill to pay, or even just having enough money to put gas in the car and coats on our kids.

We hope to lift some of that burden for one family and bless them with $500 Paypal cash to use for whatever their family needs.  Whether it’s for Christmas gifts, to pay off bills, or to save for a rainy day, we hope this giveaway will bless a family this holiday season.  And we are blessed to be a blessing as well.

You can earn a lot of entries in the Rafflecopter form below.  I know it can seem tedious and time consuming to go through all the entries, but isn’t a chance at $500 worth it?  I think it is!  Plus, if all of these generous bloggers didn’t participate, we wouldn’t have been able to have such a big prize!  So I hope you will take the time to go through each entry.  Who knows, maybe you will find some new blogs to follow.

    It would be wonderful to win this prize. One of my siblings is a missionary and is home on fur low and we are trying to gather together for Christmas. We are trying to travel to where they will be and get our nine children there as well, $500 would really help to do that. Merry Christmas!

  • Lynn says:

    Trying to buy meaningful gifts for our ever growing family is always a challenge. Having this gift of $500 would certainly ease that burden.

  • Leanne Griffith says:

    Hi Mary, I am fairly new to your blog. I want to thank you for all the wonderful information you gather and share with us. My family and I are in the beginning stages of a committed journey to greater health and then passing that down to the next generation. With all the things we need to change it can feel overwhelming. Your site has been a big help! If we were to win this prize it would go to help continue our journey and spreading the word in our community.

  • What an amazing giveaway! This money would be such a blessing right now an give us an opportunity to do something extra special with our extended family this season.

  • Nancy Hall says:

    This would be amazing to win. Living on a fixed income it can be so difficult to get the products I need to stay healthy. Thanks for the opportunity!

  • Stacey says:

    My husband’s birthday is in January…..it’s hard financially after the expense of the holidays. As hard as he works to support our family, I would love to buy him something really nice!

  • Kristin P says:

    This would be such a blessing to help pay a portion of what we still owe for birth of our child this year.

  • Jennifer R. says:

    Wow! What an amazing blessing this will be to someone! If we win, we will use the funds to rebuild our savings. Our home required extensive repairs after the flooding in South Carolina. God provided for our every need, and an additional $500 would help begin that rebuilding process for our emergency fund/savings.

  • Erin says:

    Winning this money would help us alleviate travel expenses to see loved ones who live far away.

  • Heather says:

    Hi Mary!
    I have many people that I would love to bless this holiday season and this would give me the opportunity to do it even better. Thank you and your fellow bloggers for doing this!

  • Shauna says:

    Happy Monday! With a spare $500, I would love to take my family on a little trip to Chattanooga and make some memories while we still have our teenage daughter to bless before she goes off to college in a few years. We rarely get to travel because we have a big family and it’s just not in the budget! Happy Holidays!

  • Melissa Akers says:

    I would love to win this money. My daughter and grandson had to move back in with us and it would be wonderful to help her with his first Christmas!

  • Stephanie says:

    This gift would bless our familt immensely. We get the chance to spend Christmas with extended family we havent seen in 2 years. This would make getting each of them a gift that much easier. Thanks for sponsorig this giveaway.

  • Lori says:

    Wow! What a generous giveaway!! I would love to win to pay off some debt! Thanks for the opportunity!

  • Stephanie says:

    It would be such a blessing to win this giveaway! We just found out we are expecting blessing #5 we would use this to put towards our delivery expenses etc. 🙂 We know that no matter what, God always provides!! Thanks for offering this out to people, what a blessing for someone!

  • kristena says:

    Our only family car needs to be repaired. We would use the gift towards that. Thank you for this opportunity.

  • Sharon K says:

    We are committed to staying debt free, so a ‘big’ Christmas is not important to us, but we desire to bless others during this season. The giveaway would help us serve others in a way we are not able to at this time.

  • Thomas Murphy says:

    It would help us be able to buy everyone in the family awesome Christmas presents.

  • Lorraine says:

    Winning this giveaway would bless our family by using the money to go toward a few educational gifts for my speech delayed son and my other kids. We live pay check to pay check and after the bills are paid, sometimes all we have left is 50$ till the next check, so it does not leave room for paying for gifts. I am trying not to charge things, and so far I haven’t. I know there are alot of needy families out there, so I thank you for offering such a blessing during the Christmas season.

  • Adriana says:

    Thank you for the opportunity in this generous giveaway! We could use the money to upgrade some wornout/broken/in-need-of-repair items that we have- anything from clothes (for 3 boys) to vacuum cleaner, and bathroom repairs to oven. Thanks again!

  • My nephew is getting married out of state, the $$ would pay for hubbies ticket to join in, we haven’t all been together in, I don’t know how many years.

  • PatriceK says:

    Thanks for this chance, Mary! We could really use this money. You are such a giving person! I hope good things come your way.

  • Jane Thomas says:

    Thank you for the opportunity to win such a fabulous giveaway. I love PayPal and use it for my online shopping. Thank you.

  • michelle says:

    It would be a blessing to win!

  • Ruthann says:

    Oh wow! Amazingly generous chance!! We have a special needs child whose medical bills have accumulated quite a bit. This would give our family a wonderful Christmas while allocating what would have been spent on gifts to be applied to some medical billl!

  • Melanie says:

    We just bought a house that needs work and I am not going back to work after my maternity leave, so anything to help that transition go smoothly would really help!

  • Christy Curtis says:

    Who couldn’t use $500 especially around the holidays!

  • Lisa Byrd says:

    Really enjoy your blog. Such great encouragement.

  • Michele Cupp says:

    This would allow me to buy the laptop that my son desperately needs for college.
