Merry Christmas From Compers News

Hello again compers!  How was your weekend, any nice last minute festive wins to report?  A few more bits and pieces here including another win on our local high street advent competition (a cuddly penguin), a David Walliams picture book in a blog comp and a card game on a Facebook Like & Share comp.  Can’t quite believe it is Christmas Eve!  What family traditions do you have for the night before the big day?  We will be saying goodbye to our Christmas elf this afternoon, as he will be going back to the North Pole with Father Christmas tonight.  We will make sure to be washed and brushed well before bedtime, watch a favourite festive film such as Elf or Muppet Christmas Carol and read both the Christmas Story and The Night Before Christmas just before bed.  I do so love the magic and anticipation of Christmas Eve!

The run up to Christmas is a very busy one for us compers isn’t it – so many lovely promotions around both online, via post or on-pack.  Most of the advents have wound down now, and a lot of promoters will be taking a break to think about their New Year comps.  My kitchen is still full of Kettle Chips, Budweiser and Skittles from trying to win lovely prizes – not a bad thing though of course, will all be used over the coming weeks.  What promotional packs are still lying around your house? 

It’s tradition for most of us to take a break from serious comping at this time of year, to spend more time doing other fun things with family and friends.  I am not sure I will be going completely Cold Turkey (boom, boom!) and will probably end up entering some comps tonight after all the presents have been wrapped, as well as between Christmas and New Year.  Do you like to take a break completely or will you be keeping your hand in with a few comps over the festive season?  Statistically entries are much lower this time of year, so we do actually have a better chance of winning those competitions that are still running!

So it just remains for me to wish you and yours a fantastic Christmas from all of us here at Compers News.  I will be around on the blog if you need me between now and New Year, so do pop along and keep letting us know about your wins – we always love to hear from you.

A very Merry Christmas to you all, and lots of festive Lucky Dust!
