From our home to yours, Merry Christmas, and happy holidays!

HGTV has posted its 2008 Sweepstakes Dream Home. It’s beautiful as always. This year it’s in the Florida Keys. MMMmmm, I’m dreaming of living there, especially since we’re currently in the middle of a winter storm here in Ohio. This is probably my favorite home location to date. I would love a winter home in the Keys.

The Dream Home Sweepstakes runs from January 1st to February 19th. You can enter up to once a day. The total grand prize package is worth more than 2.2 million dollars! Wow!

You can check out the details and see the beautiful view, and inside photos of the house at HGTV Dream Home Central.

Don’t forget to enter! I know I won’t!

I announced it on my b5media blog, Mother Earth’s Garden this morning, and I’m excited to announce it here. The First Annual b5media Lifestyles Channel Holiday Blogging Awards.

b5media’s recruited some of the greatest bloggers from around the sphere to step up as judges for the following categories:

Best Holiday decoration of a Blog - Any blog or blogger who has decorated their blog for the holidays either entirely or in an subtle way. Prize: $20 USD via Paypal and links from channel blogs.

Best post about Christmas on a Blog - The best posting about Christmas or holiday activities on a blog. It can be religious or non-religious, but should celebrate the spirit of the season. Prize: $20 USD via Paypal and links from channel blogs.

Best Holiday image or video on a Blog - The best display of your own personal holiday decorations on a blog. It can be religious or non-religious, but again, should celebrate the spirit of the season. Prize: $20 USD via Paypal and links from channel blogs.

All you have to do to win is submit your entry to our Holiday Blogging Awards host post. Be sure to include the link to be judged or risk disqualification. It’s THAT Easy and what’s better than FREE Money!?!

So get out that Christmas bling, and let the warm fuzzy Christmas stories flow.

Nominations will close at midnight December 13th and winners will be announced on Monday December 17th.

Do you have a gardener on your Christmas list this year? Why not give them a Garden-Opoly game. Players can buy their garden favorites, get aphid infestations, and care for their properties. Get a dandelion attack this January, and it’ll feel just like summer in the garden. Test your gardening skills against the other members of your household.

If you’d rather try your hand at running a farm try Farm-Opoly
