Win a $100 MasterCard gift card for your holiday shopping pleasure


Priceless: Making your kids happy during the holiday season. Hanging out around the fireplace, watching The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, gorging on Grandma's sugar cookies and letting your little darlings stay up way too late won't cost you a cent. Presents? Not so much.

That's why MasterCard Priceless New York is sponsoring two $100 gift card giveaways, to help you buy some of the toys in the holiday gift guide or other goodies for your kids. These folks specialize in spreading cheer: The program offers MasterCard holders exclusive access to NYC restaurants, shopping and sporting events. And if you win a gift card and you'd like to treat yourself to something, too? Go for it! Because, power parent, you deserve it.

To enter to win one of the $100 gift cards, please leave a comment below about what sort of family fun you're looking forward to this season. Me, I want to get the kids new sleds, and then order us some snow from Amazon! Oh, wait, they're not yet stocking snow.

  3. I'm looking forward to spending Christmas day with my extended family in NJ. Well, not the "waking up crazy early on Christmas morning and then getting in the car and driving 6ish hours through NY and PA" part of spending Christmas day with my extended family in NJ, but after we've arrived in NJ for sure.

    Thanks for the chance to win and Happy Holidays!!

  23. Ours is a bit different. My daughter has been in the ICU for the past 8 weeks and will likely be here for another month or so. I would blow the entire thing on decorations and fun things for her hospital room. This very well may be her last Christmas, and since we have to be in the hospital, we are going to make it memorable!

  35. I am looking forward to seeing my sons face glow! At 9 years old he is just this year understanding the magic of Christmas. He face lights up when he sees all the christmas lights so I can't wait to see him when he see Santa. Just seeing the Joy on his face is a blessing.
    Years ago people would walk the neighborhood singing Christmas carols. This tradition seems to have faded away. I am hoping to orgranize a group in our neighborhood to go Caroling! This ought to be interesting.

  52. Hi Ellen, I have been following you for quite awhile now, both on FB and your blog! I love how you seem to always know exactly how to say what I have been thinking!

    I work in a Dairy Plant where we make Egg Nog and so does my husband. We have both been working overtime so I am looking forward to the week before Christmas when Egg Nog production halts and we can get our family groove on! I have a friend loaning us her dog sled so that I can sit our non-mobil son in it and take him to a local nature preserve this winter. We have snow here from the middle of December through the end of March on average so it should be a lot of fun!

    ReplyDelete

  68. I wasn't planning on putting up the Christmas tree until later (possibly even December 24th) but my 2 year old has been clamoring for me to put it up since just before Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to him and his dad assembling the tree, and I'm looking forward to going downtown to see the window displays, and I'm looking forward to friends coming over to eat cookies and drink eggnog laced liberally with brandy.

We just cleaned out the garage to make an "invention laboratory" for J & her Daddy, so I can't wait to give her some of the new tools we bought her (kid sized!) for Christmas gifts.

  140. My daughter is 10. This definitely will be her last "Santa" year; the writing has been on the wall for awhile, but this year so far she still believes in the Magic. So I am looking forward to one last morning of true Magic with both kids: she and her brother (who has a cognitive disability and is likely to go on believing for far longer) and the pure joy of childhood reflected in their faces on Christmas morning.

  152. all I want for Christmas is Jack to find his family! he's an 11 yo orphan with HIV who said to the director "what do I need to do for a Mom to come? Do you know where she is? Is she looking for me?"

    Break. My. Heart.

    I'd use this giftcard to buy something "big" that I can use for a giveaway to raise awareness!

  161. Every year our family has a Family Night, Christmas Edition. We have a fire in the fireplace and turn off all the lights in the house except Christmas decor and candles. Then we put a blanket on the floor and eat ice cream, because what's a family night without ice cream?! This s followed up by a fun family activity. One of our favorite traditions!
