Oh, I couldn’t have lived with myself either if I’d thought for a moment I hadn’t won the Elf honestly. Alas. The Elf wants what the Elf wants. I wish him all the best with Jennifer. Maybe this just means he wasn’t our Elf, and we need to go find the one Santa has chosen just for us.

(If Jennifer doesn’t claim her prize, though, you know where to find me.)

I’m sorry Alyssa! If I didn’t have such a guilt ridden personality I would have TOTALLY thrown the contest but then I’d never have been able to live with myself. thanks for playing along and I hope you will get an Elf anyway (since you wanted one so bad) and then play along in the craziness. I’ll think of you the next time I trip over crap in my hallway when I run to move the Elf. You can snicker at me then. It’s ok.

Dude. I clicked over, saw my name, and got all excited! Then I actually read the post.

Commenting from a place of devastation and dejection. All my faith in odds-based random drawings is dead. Thank you for that.

I KNEW, KNEW, KNEW I wouldn’t win! ARGH! I believe I said as much in one of my 10,000 comments.

Jennifer, enjoy your elf. Take good care of him. Tell him I love him. You’ll tell him, right??

Sara, thanks for the lovely, lovely shout out. And now you’re stuck with me as a reader, so there’s that.
