Month of Holiday Giveaways!
Wheee! 
This is the third year (third?!) of the Month of Holiday Giveaways here on IGE, where I giveaway some of my favorite fun and foodie items all December long. I am this pumped – THIS PUMPED – about the items on the giveaway list this year, and have a feeling you’ll be just as excited.
I’m kicking things off with a prize pack chock full of goodies from a company that I just adore – Sabra!
I had the pleasure of visiting the Sabra factory back in May, and my love for their products only increased when I saw first-hand how passionate the company is about their customers and food, and learned that they’re not just a hummus company.
In addition to a wide variety of hummus flavors (pine nut and roasted red pepper being some of my faves) Sabra also has delicious lines of individual snack packs, salsas,
Greek yogurt vegetable dips, and guacamole.
In the first giveaway of the month, I’m featuring 1 Sabra Prize Pack, that includes:
- 3 VIP Coupons (read: 3 FREE Sabra products)
- Bamboo chip and dip platter
- Sabra Apron
- Putumayo World Music Party CD
- Hummus Chicken Salad recipe card
- Spinning world keychain
- Sabra bamboo spatula
Enter to win the prize pack by tomorrow, Friday, December 2nd at 5:00pm central time, by commenting below on what your favorite part of the holidays is.
In the meantime, be sure to try Sabra’s special holiday hummus flavors – Rosemary, Olive Oil & Sea Salt – which are only in stores until the end of December.
Good luck everyone!

Cookies, lights, and time with family!
My favorite part of the holidays are the lights and the music as well as the 25 Days of Christmas movie line up on ABC Family
Oh, which includes my all time favorite of Home Alone… 
Watching my 17 months old son enjoy all the excitement of Christmas and seing things through his eyes. It’s like being a kid again! I’ve never enjoyed Christmas so much as I have now that I am a parent.
My favorite part is definitely the lights. I just can’t walk past a lights display without getting a happy feeling.
Favorite holiday tradition is skiing all winter!

all the beautiful music!
My favorite part of the holidays is spending time with family.
The parties.
My favorite part of the holiday is candlelit Christmas Eve service at our church. Our daughters are always dressed in their holiday best and it is a beautiful, ceremonial, and faith filled service that fills my heart with joy. We come home, head to bed, and wait for Santa to come! The giggles from our daughters make the morning perfect. We also always have blueberry muffins for breakfast, which was a tradition my own mother started when I was girl. Merry Christmas IGE!
I love exchanging gifts!
I love just all of the lights and the general atmosphere of the holidays! The trees, the smells, the foods, the wrapping paper… it’s all great!
While I like big family dinners I still prefer my family’s tradition of having bunches of appetizers on Christmas Eve in front of the fire with Christmas music playing and an old fashioned in hand!
My favorite part the holiday season is spending much needed time with family and friends. I love the snow and having an excuse to stay in for the entire day with no guilt!
Gotta love Minnesnowta!!!!
I make my family waffles on Christmas morning. I still use the same waffle maker I received as a Christmas present as a child. Yes, I was a little chunker that asked for a waffle iron for Christmas. HAHA.
I love how pretty everything looks with the lights and decorations. I also love finding the perfect gift for people. And I love the Spinach and Artichoke hummus. I am addicted to it.
My favorite part is being home with family.
One of my favorite things about the holidays is seeing how excited my little nephew gets when he opens gifts
Grammy’s Stuffed Calamari on Christmas Eve!! and Italian Family Madness <3
I’m not sure if I can even pick one. I think it’s just enjoying the decorations in the house once they’re all up. White Christmas lights just give such a beautiful glow… wish I could keep them up/around year round!
So many things! Sparkly lights everywhere, the smell of a live Christmas tree when I walk in the door, ELF!
I love baking tons and tons of Christmas cookies!!! My freezer is getting full already!!
Giving gifts and the food!
I just tried the ‘Supremely Spicy Hummus’ the other day and loved it!!
I LOVE the holiday season… I see beloved friends I don’t get to see enough of…
I eat foods I never get to eat enough of….
and…. I’m so happy!
My favorite part of the holidays is having my family and friends together celebrating and taking moments from our hectic schedules to goof around and enjoy each other.
My favorite part is looking at all the beautiful lights and attending fun parties!
I love Christmas lights on houses, especially since it gets dark so early during this part of winter. However, all the days off of work may be my favorite part…
I love the holidays because all the family gets together and we eat good fun!
I love all the holiday parties and family get-togethers!
I believe that all parts of celebrating the season are ways of celebrating the true meaning of the holiday- the birth of Christ. I guess my favorite part of the holiday is just knowing that it’s a celebration of life!
Seeing my brother and my parents and eating my mom’s chex mix!
My favorite part of the holidays is spending time with family.
My favorite part of the holidays are all the wonderful smells! The fresh smelling tree, cider on the stove, and wonderful food cooking in the oven all make the holidays special!
twinkle lights!!
I love being with my family and watching them open gifts! Thanks for the giveaway–I would love to serve some Sabra products to my family!!
Definitely spending time with family
I love how the holidays make everyone noticeably happier and nicer. NYC locals aren’t exactly known for their cheerfulness, so I take what I can get!
I absolutely love the holidays for the extra time I get to spend with my family and, of course, the Christmas lights!
My favorite part of the holidays is when my husband comes home(he is stationed in Va, i live in Iowa with our children) and our 3 girls go running to him and say ” daddy you are the BEST present this is the BEST Christmas ever.” make me weepy just thinking about it.
