This week’s early Christmas present is going to… Nancy (who says she “could certainly use some new lighting” and her favorite holiday glow “has to be my fireplace.”) Congrats Nancy!
As much as we love holiday lights, indoor lighting is something that you stare at every day of the year. So if you don’t love your lighting situation, this is one way to “dude, get on that” without spending any cash. See, recently we were voted one of Lamps Plus’ top home blogs of 2012 (how flattering!) and it came with a $500 shopping spree prize… but you know we don’t take freebies or swag, so the folks at Lamps Plus kindly agreed that we could pass that $500 credit to one of you! We’ve been fans of theirs for a while now since they seem to have about a million options (their chandeliers even popped up in our book a few times) so this week’s winner should have no trouble finding something to spend their light-loot on if they win.
- PRIZE: $500 to spend at Lamps Plus.com
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “LAMP ME!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: …your favorite type of holiday light. Do you love the white glimmer of a Christmas tree in your living room? The over-the-top glow of a house decked out in colorful bulbs on every surface? Or the warm crackle of a fire in your fireplace?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Dec 19th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: We always beg every vendor to ship internationally but some companies are not able to vend things beyond the US – more on that here. This giveaway is open to the United States.

Our small city of Kokomo, Indiana has it’s own artist, Patty Host. Patty has created a small village replicating various historic buildings from our town. My husband who happens to love decorating for Christmas, painstakingly arranges this little village above our cabinets in the kitchen. It is outfitted with snow, trees, people and best of all lights. He also puts little white lights in some of the other rooms in our home. At night they make the house so cozy and homey.

Last year we threw out all our old lights broken white string lights. This year a neighbor gave us large multi-colored strings. We hung them. And they are adorable.They are so kid-friendly. Every color you can imagine.

Lamp Me Please :-)
My husband and I just had the great christmas light debate yesterday. He prefers LED because they save electricity and are the new thing. I perfer the old style white lights because it makes the tree glow. Our compromise was 2 strands led, 2 strands old style for one bright tree.
