DVD Giveaway --- Christmas in Connecticut


















When I was at the store the other day I happened to see one of my favorite Christmas movies on sale for $5 and since I already own it I figured why not buy it and give it away to one lucky winner on my blog.

For those of you who are not familiar with this fantastic movie I will give you the synopsis from the back of the DVD.

In her Smart Housekeeping column, Elizabeth Lane provides festive recipes and homemaking hints. But Elizabeth's got a secret: she needs a recipe to boil water. Elizabeth has no cooking skills, not Connecticut farm, no adoring hubby and no baby-makes-three as depicted in her column. She better get them. Because Elizabeth's boss has invited himself and a recently returned war hero to her home for Christmas.

Laughs, romance, holiday cheer: that's the recipe Barbara Stanwyck and a stellar company of Warner Bros. players follow in this amiable farce that was a huge hit with 1945 audiences and has become a perennial seasonal favorite. Have a very merry Christmas in Connecticut.

This has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid, I love Barbara Stanwyck, and I watch it every year. Whoever the lucky winner is will fall in love with it as well.

The contest is easy. Just leave a comment with your favorite Christmas movie and your email address. That's it, no other requirements. The deadline is 12/9/09 at 11:59 pm CST. I will email and post the winner who will then have 48 hours to contact me with their shipping info or a new winner will be chosen.

I love you, I love you, I love you...for doing this giveaway!!! I guess you can tell I love this movie =o)

My favorite movie, of course, are these three versions of A Christmas Carol...Alastair Sim version, Albert Finney (Scrooge) version, and Patrick Stewart version. I also love White Christmas. I really have SO many favorites.

And Michelle, I can't believe two of your faves are also mine...The Ref (hilarious) and Love Actually (absolutely heartwarming)!

I am so stereotypical but...

It's a Wonderful Life
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
A Christmas Story
National Lampoon's Christmas
A Christmas Carol (Gotta love Donald Duck! but I will say The Actor's Theatre puts on an amazing performance here in in Phoenix)
Little Princess (Shirley Temple)
A Charlie Brown Christmas

although it's not a Christmas movie, An Affair To Remember, Casablanca, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Twelve Angry men, and a few other classics, that I will start a marathon.

I have not seen this one but even if I don't win, I will definitely rent it on Netflix!

Hey Ryan! I have never seen this, but it sounds great, and I am a lover of classic films! My favorite Christmas movie, if I have to pick one, is A Christmas Story. I love to tell my kids: "you'll shoot your eye out!" and other corny things from the movie...

I have to say I don't think I have ever seen this movie. I am surprised that I have not.

I would have to say my favorite christmas movie is White Christmas with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. I love the old singing and dancing. I can't wait to see it come on tv this season.

Thanks for your generosity. very much the spirit of Christmas.
