Deal Seeking Mom and ABC Home Video are partnering to give five of my wonderful readers a prize package consisting of three family holiday DVDs. Throw in a little hot cocoa and homemade Christmas cookies and you’ll have the makings of a fun family movie night!

Included in the prize package are:

  • Snowglobe – a charming Christmas tale starring Tom Cavanagh and Ashley Williams that will delight the entire family with a sleigh-full of reindeer antics! When Nick Claus’ baby reindeer is stolen, he travels to California’s renowned San Diego Zoo to rescue it – only to find true love in the process!


  • Snow – Christina Milian takes center stage in Snowglobe and “shakes things up” in this delightful seasonal tale. The holiday magic comes alive when Angela, played by Christina Milian, inherits her grandmother’s antique snow globe and finds she is able to leave her dreary, ordinary existence and travel to the idyllic Christmas-y world inside the wondrous globe!


  • Holiday in Handcuffs – an original movie about a ne’er-do-well 30-something who attempts to appease her family by kidnapping an attractive boyfriend to bring home for Christmas!  Despite the unlikely odds, the two share a “merry” special holiday…and manage to fall in love!

    I really like my husband’s aunt’s cookies. She makes really big sugar cookies that are soft with sprinkled sugar on top. Some have raisins and some are plain but they all have a half of a big walnut in the middle. YUMMY!!!

    I love peanut butter cookies (slice and bake) with an almond hershey kiss in the middle when they are fresh out of the oven. I like to bake them in mini muffin pans. YUM!

    I’m not big on cookies, but my faves are sugar cookies. I got the recipe off of the back of the flour bag. I use Splenda to make them for the senior adults in our church… and they loved them.

    Ingredients:
    1 cup sugar
    2 sticks butter, softened
    1 tsp vanilla
    1 egg
    2 1/3 cups flour
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    sugar for topping

    Directions:
    Heat oven to 375. In large bowl, beat sugar and butter on low speed until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla and egg. Stir in flour and baking soda. Shape dough by teaspoonfuls unto balls. On ungreased cookie sheet, place 2 inches apart. Flatten with bottom of glass dipped in sugar. Bake 7-8 minutes for soft cookies or 9 minutes for crunchy cookies. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.

    My girls and I love making chocolate truffles (do they count as cookies?) for Christmas. The girls help roll and decorate and we package them to give as gifts.

    Gingerbread cookies are a must at our home this time of year – so they have to be my favorite. Thanks for the chance!
