I would give a large portion to the food pantry in my hometown. They feed the homeless and low income families. It would make a wonderful christmas for them.
I would pay off a couple bills, buy some gifts, and buy myself a new Christmas outfit!
This would be a huge blessing 🙂 We would bless someone else with part of it and probably pay some bills with the rest 🙂
What would I do with $1,000? First, I would pick myself up off the floor because I am 100% positive I would pass out. Then I would scream. Yes, for a good five minutes, maybe longer. I would finally be able to buy my family Christmas without feeling guilty. I would finally buy myself some clothes. I would also like to buy new wedding bands. My husband doesn’t like how his cuts into his finger and I had to cut mine off in May because it nearly caused me to lose my finger.
I would have to say – $1000 would go into savings to buy a “new” house. the one we rent now is teeny tiny. we want to move somewhere bigger, with more of a yard.. and a garage w/ a driveway.. a place to own that will be truly ours.
What a blessing this will be to someone. I’ve never had that muh money in my possession in my life, so I have no idea what I’d do with it…give much of it to my mom for helping my kids and I through a *really* rough time this year? Donate part of it to help fund the listener supported Christian radio station in my area? Some small presents for the kids? How do you even decide something like that??
What an amazing gift! If I won, I would pay off some bills.
Faint, rejoice, and pay off bills.
I would update my kitchen for sure!
Grab the kids and hubby and go on vacation!
If I am chosen, I will give the money to my grandmother. She struggles to pay for her health insurance and medication so I know this will help her a great deal.
I would share it with my kids to help them pay off some bills!
Oh geez. I’d say a thankyou prayer first. Then id be able to take my boys and buy a few gifts for some friends who wouldn’t have any otherwise. After that,i might buy some clothes for myself, since we were blessed to b able to get the boys most of their Christmas wishes this year.
If i won $1,000 there are people I would help and bills I would pay. My hubby has not had full time work in a long time. Thank you for this opportunity.

Unfortunately I’d pay off debt that’s been looming over my head stress be gone!
I’d pay off debit!
Would LOVE to win! I’d pay some bills, and get a trampoline for the kiddos!
All my family members would have a really nice Christmas and I would also get some very nice gifts for some children on the Angel Tree.
I’d pay off a medical bill, save some and use some to donate!
I would take my family on vacation 🙂
We would buy a couple basic gifts (one for the three in our family), pay some bills, and purchase some items off a local teens moms ministry wishlist and local food pantry we have been blessed by. It would be amazing to help them and support the work they do, especially considering they don’t have much support financially!
I’d pay a few bills and take a day off!
It would be such a blessing to win!! I would probably pay off some bills.
I would buy a new computer. My computer is hanging on, but needs to be replaced soon. With my computer I would be able to share my heart for orphan care on my blog.
How awesome and generous! I would put a nice sized dent in my debt and get that snowball rolling faster!
I would donate some and use the rest to furnish our new home!
I would definitely pay off some bills!
Pay off some bills
I would have to consult with the hubby but I would love to have a little weekend getaway with him! Life and work have been busy and it would be nice to have a quiet, fun weekend together!
I would start a college fund for each of my 4 grandchildren. It’s never too early to get them motivated 🙂 They’re 3, 18 mo, 1 mo. and one coming in March.
We are currently updating our home and I can think of lots of projects to put the money toward! Thanks for hosting such a fun giveaway. 🙂
This would be such a blessing since my husband was laid off a large part of this year! I would love to pay off some bills!
I would make sure my family had an amazing Christmas, even more than I have planned!
First, I’d be in shock. Then I would go buy Xmas gifts for my two little ones and my husband. Plus a bunch of diapers because having two under two is expensive lol 🙂
$1000 would be AMAZING! This time of year is always tough financially, and that would really help ease things up!
I would tithe, then bless someone, save a little, and maybe get a great pair of shoes….
what a fun giveaway! thanks!
If I won $1000 I could buy some Christmas presents for my family and not be stressed about it. I have bought nothing so far this year and I’m usually half way finished by now. I don’t know why we are struggling so bad this year but we are. I love Christmas and the feeling I have inside and it just doesn’t feel the same this year. Also if I won $1000 I would for sure pick two children I don’t know to buy for. We live doing this but are just not able to do it this year which makes me sad knowing because of my struggles some other children won’t get a great Christmas gift.
I just noticed the s was missing from my email address on my post. My email is jaimehendricks@yahoo.com
I posted already but it is not showing up so I’ll go again. If I won $1000 I would be able to buy Christmas without stress. We are having a hard time this year and I’m not sure why. I love to buy things for other people and love the christmas season but feeling a little sad this year with our struggles. We do not have it as bad as a lot of people I know this for sure I would just love to be able to get chrisas for my family. I would also buy for two children I do not know so they are able to get what they want for Christmas this year. We do this most years but are not able to so so this year.
I would use it towards finishing up our bathroom remodel.
I recently got engaged and if I win I would put it towards the wedding.
Extra lovin for our 3 girls this Christmas! Imagine all the gifts under the tree =) thanks!
My husband and I would use it to purchase some Christmas gifts for the children and the rest of our family members. We would like to “adopt a family” locally for Christmas and help them, if we were to win. Perhaps pay some bills or stock up on diapers and formula. Thank you for the opportunity!!
Oh my! I would have my family gather and choose a place we would like to use a portion of the money to serve others. So trying to instill a love for others in our two girls (we need reminding too!). Also, my sweet hubby and I have been married for more than 20 years and I’ve never been able to go with him on any business travel. This could get me to San Antonio for a few days with him next year. 🙂
Put it toward my daughters new big girl bed!
Wow $1000!!! I would give it to my grandparents. My Grandfather has been battling Colon Cancer and it has become financially and physically hard for my grandmother to take care of him. Although i know $1000 doesnt stretch that far, I know it would help brighten up there christmas this year.
I would give the money to my son who is living in Chicago but having to pay 2 mortgages because he can’t sell his house in Atlanta. Been almost a year. Only offer was $50,000.00 less than what he has to have to break even. Not trying to make money, just break even. This money would really help him out.
I would buy my husband a laptop. He would be so surprised!
I would use it to help with my hospital bills from just having my baby. She ended up costing $1000 plus more than I had planned. Then I would feel like I had a little more to spend on actual Christmas. Merry Christmas!
Whoo hoo! It would go toward the future baby fund or to make some repairs around the house 🙂
If I won, I would first gift a chunk of it to my Dad’s mission organization in South Africa. I would also be able to get awesome Christmas presents for my husband and my family. We have been struggling financially, and I would love to give the gifts I’ve been wanting to get for those I love the most. My husband and I have also been wanting to sell our car and get one that is more Eco-friendly and gets more gas mileage (he drives a LOT for his job), so a portion would probably go to that.
It would go to charity to provide gifts for children locally. I’ve been blessed and it comes naturally to give to others who might not be as fortunate! Merry Christmas to all!!!
Pay off one of my students loans!!!
I’d definitely throw some of it at Xmas gifts leaving me more money to help others this holiday season. We always like to adopt a family but I could adopt more than one and really help some folks out.
I would pay for Christmas with my family!
We have been inundated with doctor bills this year since my husband’s cancer diagnosis and surgery, and this would go a long way in us catching up on things!
$1000- wow!! I would take my parents on a little vacation. They deserve it. They have been living on one income with my dad going back to school, he has been out of work for 3 years
I would put it towards flooring for our living room.
I would buy my husband & daughter a couple great gifts!
Happy dance followed by a plan of saving 1/2 and using other 1/2 on house renovation. Thanks for the chance!!
I would use the money to help my son set up household in california
This would help out so much during the holidays! I would save some, and spend the rest if my two little boys! Thank you for this awesome giveaway!
Paint my husbands truck for Christmas!
I’m really amazed… I thank you for the opportunity and can only pray we will be blessed enough to win. My husband is laid off and we are behind. Really behind. We’ve received disconnection notices on both gas and electric. We are just trying to pay what we can. We don’t know how we will bless our children with Christmas and I’m searching for ways to bless them with very few “things”. This amount of money would bring our electric and gas current and leave a little for Christmas blessings. I hope we are chosen.
This would be a huge help for the Holidays, not to mention that it will also help spoil my niece and nephew born 12 weeks early. 🙂
It’s not super exciting or original, but I’d pay off the credit card! 🙂
I am going on a cruise in January, so I will probably use some of it for that. But I’ll probably pay some bills.
Definitely would be spreading that $1000 worth of love around…love doing fun random acts of kindess, esp like handing out Starbucks gift cards or gas cards!
Help daughter and son-in-law as they finish last year of college and bring baby #2 into the world!
I would use it to redo my bathroom.
I would share the love with family and, of course, work on some bills! Merry Christmas!
I would pay off the beautiful new flooring I just put in!
If I won $1000, I would like to do some random acts of kindness for those in need and join the gym for the boot camp class I’ve been wanting to attend.
I would pay off some bills and buy presents for friends and family!
Oh my $1000 would help my family right now. It would help to get us by in the winter months. My husband’s job is slow in the winter and I’m a stay at home mom. Winter is really tight and with a new baby. WOW would it be great to win!!!
At first I thought if I I would pay off bills I fell behind on when I had my baby. And then a friend of mine told me his 12 year old sister has cancer and my best friends mom is passing away. So I would take the money and do something for them I think to try and my them smile.
I would pay some bills and get some extra Christmas goodies for family!
My daughter teaches a kindergarten first grade combo class. She spends so much of her own money on her class, I would give the money to her.
This is too cool! You guys rock! Well, we’d use it to buy christmas presents for the family, and then we’d pay off some of our bills. It’s a fact of life I guess 😀
use 1/2 to pay off some bills and the other 1/2 on whatever my heart desires
I would pay off some debt so the holidays could be better spent with my family than stressing about money
I have 6 children so that money would be awesome to help with Christmas presents! Thank you for being so generous!
Oh winning this would be awesome!!!!!!! I need new floors badly.
Awesome!! Everyone could use an extra $1,000!
pay off debt : )
I am moving into a new house in January and a $1,000 would surely come in handy to purchase some much needed new furniture!! Thanks so much for the opportunity.
Would love to win! Would buy presents for my family, plus use it for some random acts of kindness.
This would pay for us to go home to Texas for Christmas!!
I’d put it toward a much needed family vacation.
What an amazing giveaway. $1000… hmm, maybe help pay off the car. Maybe help a charity….
I would love to be able to make a couple of updates to my home!!
I would use some of the money to buy pajamas so some of my needy students could have new pajamas to participate in pajama day at my school. I started this last year to honor the memory of the Sandy Hook kids. I would use the rest to get my deserving husband a gift.
Wow! This is a wonderful giveaway. $1,000.00 would be such a blessing right now. I would definitely be paying off some bills if I won. You ladies are awesome!
I would put it towards the Christmas party at my husbands work and then use it to help pay for Christmas!
This would be such a welcome gift! Thank you for doing it again this year!
I would do a little Christmas shopping and maybe take the family on a little overnight trip :O)
Stacey of Embracing Change
I would probably spread around to some members of the family and make it a very special Christmas for all of us!
Wow….$1,000.00 would help an otherwise lean Christmas. It would be a dream come true. There would also be a portion for less fortunate families.
Use it to go visit family in Texas that I’ve not seen in 13 years or more and visit my parents now that they live there
