A big thanks to all who entered my giveaway for a box of Whole Foods holiday goodies.

I loved reading all your comments describing your favorite holiday traditions. And I have to tell you, you've inspired me to adopt a few new traditions this year.

If you haven't taken the time to read the comments, please do. Well worth it.

The winner, chosen at random, is tanya44, who said she loves baking nine different types of Christmas cookies in a single marathon baking session, calling it her "nine innings of cookies." Some years, she wrote, her baking day goes into "extra innings."

Once again, thanks for entering, everybody.

On Tuesday, I'll have a new holiday giveaway you definitely won't want to miss.
