With Christmas drawing closer I'm in the mood for another giveaway. This time I'm giving one lucky winner six of my favorite books from when I was growing up.

If you would like to have a chance to win these leave a comment telling me something you would love to be able to do someday.
For a second entry post a link to this giveaway on your blog then come back and leave another comment telling me you did.
Winner will be chosen on Thursday December 9th using random.org Please make sure I have a way to contact you if you are chosen as the winner.

I've just found your blog in the last few weeks, and I have really loved reading through all the archives! What a great writer you are!
I would love to visit Israel and Switzerland someday. I'd also love to have my own business someday.
I would love to travel and take pictures of anything and everything!!!
I would love to explore the USA with my children. (And win this contest;P)
Someday I would love to spend a week or two really exploring the attic in the home of my mother's family. It was originally built in the 1850's and has been continuously lived in by family until my great aunt passed a few years ago. There are so many things stored in the attic that it boggles my mind with many of them being very old and of course important to someone in my family at one time or another.
What a wonderful prize!
I would love to live off grid and be self sufficient (we're working on it, but still have a lot to learn), but I would also love to take an extended road trip (at least a year or two) with my family. I have a hard time reconciling the two dreams in my heart and mind!
I would LOVE to be able to speak to people in Middle English! I'm a medievalist and can read Middle English, but my pronunciations are still terrible.
I would love to live as an amish person for a week.

One thing I've always wanted to do since my first visit to Lancaster, PA is stay with an Amish family for a couple weeks to a month and live as they do for that period of time.
I so want to learn how to spin my own yarn, as well as learning to weave. Someday someday.

You are so kind to have so many wonderful giveaways. Someday I would like to have a small herd of milking goats, so that we could have milk, and make soap and other goat's milk products. Lord willing, we may have some this spring!
I want to complete my family tree and write a book about the people of my family.

Miss MaryAnn,
I put a comment about your giveaway on my blog.
:)
I would love to finish a full size quilt someday. I dream about it and even have some material for different ones, but have yet to start one, let alone finish one. :)
I've just finished reading throughyour blog archives. (It's just before the summer holidays here, most of the students are gone so I have a lot more time on my hands than usual here at work!) I've thoroughly enjoyed this peek into a different life.
Right! What would I like to do?
1. Go to England for a nice long holiday.
2. Suddenly get enthused by housework and have a beautifully shining clean house.. or better yet... have my boys get enthused by doing housework so THEY do the work!
3. Write a book and have it published.
That last one is a typical English teacher's dream, I know.
I would love to become more self-sufficient, growing and canning everything we can. I dream of quilting someday. Taking Photography classes, and maybe art too. My list could go on and on, but for now I will sit and hug my six children and wonderful husband!
Thanks for doing such neat give-a-ways. Kristena
Maybe I should leave my email address just in case :)

There's too many things I'd like to do! But I'll name one, I sure would like to learn how to yodel. :)

I would love to go on a Caribbean cruise!
OH, a wonderful give away! Thank you! Lets see..... I think I would love to go back to my home land, Italy. I have many relatives there & my heart is still there. Also, a great place to give the gospel, a place that is hungering for the Word. My heart is there. I do not fly or I would go. I still keep in touch with family there.
Are some of these books, Rod & Staff books? If so, I love that publication.
Blessings!
Your giveaway looks lovely! Thank you for a chance to enter.
I love to bake, but don't know how to bake a pie. I would like to learn how to bake pies. :)

Many blessings in Christ..Trish

I would love to move farther in the country (like in having less or no neighbors, and live from our land)
I would love to learn how to quilt and make beautiful quilts. I've never been talented at anything crafy or artsy.
Someday I would love to live in the Pacific Northwest. :)
I would love to find out more about my paternal grandmother whose early life has been a complete mystery, but I'm sure there is a very interesting story there somewhere. Meanwhile, many thanks for your generosity in offering these lovely books.
I'd love to see a starry sky out West, away from my big city. Even better would be to see a meteor shower there. :-)
Someday I will see Jesus face to face and sometimes, honestly, I just can't wait :)
Hello and greetings from New Zealand. We will be having a summer christmas here. I love reading about the Amish folk and their ways. I would love to be included in your giveaway please.

I would love to learn to knit. My Grandma used to knit and I still have some of the last jumpers she ever knited me when I was a child. I treasure them and I would love to be able to give my children (and in the future) grandchildren, all though a long way off since they are only 3 & 8 months!) the same pleasure. Blessings REbecca (rdpeterson@optusnet.com.au)
I would love to sing at Christmas time in a church choir or be a member of a gospel choir. It's not that I have a special voice its just that I want to be part of a joyful noise in this world. Thank you for offering another giveaway.
I would love to enjoy a grandchild someday. Please choose my entry for your book giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity!
I forgot to leave my contact info in my post above: jmurskibeth@gmail.com
I'd love to be able to rent a large log cabin for a week at Christmas and have our whole family join us there. My cabin would be in New England, in snow country, and would have a huge stone fireplace with lots of seasoned hardwood already cut, stacked and ready to put on the fire. We'd play in the snow, go sledding, have wonderful meals together, exchange simple homemade gifts and attend a Christmas Eve candlelit service together in a little stone church. We'd sing Christmas carols together and stay up late talking into the night. Since our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren are scattered across the country from California to Florida, I know it's not really possible to do, but it's fun to dream.
Blessings,
Mary in PA
