BooksonBoard Opus Giveaway

by SB Sarah Tuesday, December 08, 2009 at 12:06 AM

imageHanukkah, oh, Hanukkah, come light the menorah! Let’s have a party and go to Bora Bora! See, it’s a little known fact that we don’t actually dance the hora on Hanukkah, even though it rhymes so nicely with menorah. So not that much dancing occurs, though there is commemorative eating of foods fried in oil. Sadly, the only thing “light” about the Festival of Lights is often the actual candles themselves.

But in the interest of terrible transitions in topic, how about a contest? BooksonBoard and I came up with a fun way to give away a digital reader, and since it’s December and it’s almost Hanukkah, we figured, let’s have some fun. Jelly donuts for … me, actually. I can’t mail those.

We do, however, have one fabulously spiffy Cybook Opus from Bookeen, provided by BooksonBoard, and a $25.00 gift certificate for books at Books on Board - and a book light since (a) the Bookeen doesn’t come with an on board light, and (b) it’s the Festival of Lights, after all.

More,more,more!>

Latkes. Latkes. Latkes. Latkes! Plus *homemade applesauce*
My friend, who becomes my BESTFRIEND during Hanukkah, makes the absolute best Latkes. She says I’m too greedy for them during this season. Blah, I’m a gentile, more for me!

I can smell the oil already. And the best part is that we’ll be In Colorado with 2 of our kids, so I’ll be smelling it at their houses!

Latkes… yum… I’ll eat lettuce once the holiday’s done.

I lack the vision and talent to write an entry, but if anyone sets their BoB story during Tu Bishvat, I will love them forever. It’s completely underrated. Or maybe Shavuot, when you’re supposed to eat cheesecake - for reasons I’ve yet to understand.

Jelly donuts for … me, actually. I can’t mail those.

Dude, if I can mail cheesecake and clam chowder soup, I’m sure there’s a way to mail jelly donut. Why am I craving jelly donuts. The ones my grandma used to make on Saturdays along with cinnamon rolls, upside down pineapple cake, bread and sometimes chocolate chip cookies

Assuming a Stephen Colbert persona with fist pump.

Sarah!!!!!

Or should it be

Does it have to be exactly 200 words?

Because I’ve got 194 here.

Rose: If school kids don’t get the day off, well, doesn’t count as a very good holiday. Plus, four “New Years”? That’s just being greedy. As for the cheesecake: isn’t it about eating dairy foods with fillings and cheesecake is the best example? Or something. Does cheesecake count as a filling? Never mind… 

Anyway, Happy Hanukkah! Off to write the story.

Sarah, I blame you for my entry.

See the corrupting influence you have on me. I’m an innocent young miss.

Ohh—that’s quite a fun challenge.  Don’t know if I can come up with anything clever enough, but I’ve put my brain on it and we shall see….
