Do you have a favorite holiday memory? A ridiculous one? A hilarious one? There’s a new book dedicated to funny holiday stories and observations and we’re giving away 19 autographed copies!
Hold your horses, I have to share my story first. I have a confession to make: I still believe in Santa. Maybe.
I saw him in action. For real. When I was four or five years old, I woke up in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve because I heard something down stairs. I knew it was him. I crept out of my bed and watched from the top of the stairs. From my post, I could see a man wearing red pants putting presents under our tree in the living room. I could only see his legs and his hands when he bent down to place each gift in its spot. I gasped and scrambled back in bed, because my parents had told me that if I wasn’t asleep in bed Santa wouldn’t leave any presents, but that sealed the deal. Now I was a believer for life.
Eventually in the upper grades my friends all stopped believing, but I insisted for an embarrassingly long time that he WAS real. I SAW him. When I was 13 I found pictures from that fateful Christmas. Coincidentally, my dad was wearing red sweat pants on that very Christmas morning. Hmmmm…
There are two possibilities. One is that Santa is 100% real, without a doubt. The second is that we were all very lucky it was the 80’s and my dad proudly rocked red pants.
Either way, totally winning. (What? Santa and Charlie Sheen references in the same blog post? It must be your lucky day.)
And speaking of winning…
Guess what?
Nineteen of your favorite mom humor bloggers had a meeting and we all agreed. There’s a brand new book that we think you NEED to read this holiday season. The title says it all.
Spending The Holidays With People I Want To Punch In The Throat is a heartwarming (yes, really!) collection of hilarious holiday-themed personal stories and observations written by none other than Jen of the well-known blog People I Want To Punch In The Throat.
If the holidays have you stressing about gift giving, cookie decorating, or where in the world to put your Elf on the Shelf, then you need to take a mommy time out and read a chapter or two.
And now you can have a chance to peruse the pages for free. Consider it our holiday gift to you. We are teaming up to give away 19 copies of the book. All you have to do is enter the giveaway using the Rafflecopter form below for your chance to win an AUTOGRAPHED copy! (Or if you are too excited to wait, you can buy the book and Kindle version here.)
We promise that it is both endearing and hilarious, but you don’t have to take our word for it. You can see for yourself. Several of us recorded videos of our favorite parts. Here Penny and I are in deep discussion over the merits of Christmas caroling. We have a weekly book club we like to call Books & Boobies, where I read and she nurses. I spared you the breastfeeding video. (Yes, I actually made a video in which I was breastfeeding, and no, I did not swear in front of my baby. I have a built-in mute button.)
See? Told you. Now you want your own copy right? Well, Jen generously donated an autographed copy to every blogger participating in this giveaway so that we could increase your chances to win. You can enter using the Rafflecopter below. This giveaway is open to US residents only.
“But wait, that’s not all!” we say in our best Price is Right announcer voice. We couldn’t get a bunch of tech-savvy moms together for a book giveaway and not bring you an eReader, right? So we are also giving away a Kindle Fire!

When I was four I was sleeping over at my grandparent’s house on the night before Easter and I woke up and SWORE I saw a 6 foot bunny in the backyard peering in my bedroom window. I screamed, because I was actually afraid of it. It was sort of awkward because my grandparents didn’t want to tell me the truth about the Easter Bunny, but then again they were a little freaked out there might be some creeper in a bunny suit in their backyard looking in my window. To this day, I still kind of believe in the Easter Bunny . . . and creepers.
