In my last post, I held a Hanukkah hide-the-grammar-errors sock contest. It's like hide the matzoh, but it tastes better. (I'm kidding; matzoh is delicious with butter slathered all over it like my grandma used to make.)
To your left, is the beautiful pair of socks that will be awarded to the lucky winner. If any men had entered, I would have gone for a more androgynous pair, but since men can't find grammar errors, luxe girl it is.
P.S. Just kidding, men.
P.P.S. I really wanted to capitalize luxe girl.
Three women entered the contest, so I wrote each of their names on a piece of paper:
Then, I crumpled up the pieces of paper:
Then, I ran into my room and got my furry purple hat (faux fur, of course) that I've had for years but have never worn. New Year's resolution: wear purple furry hat.
Then, I put the crumpled pieces of paper into the hat:
Then, I shuffled the crumpled of pieces around and selected one:
The suspense is killing me!
And, drum roll please: the winner is...
Congratulations, Jessica!
(Jessica, I can't find any contact info. for you on your profile. If you see this, email me your address at missedperiods@gmail.com and the socks will be yours.)
Happy New Year to everyone!

Happy New Year! And darn, I didn;t get those awesome looking socks.
Ok - I'm bummed. I missed out on cool socks. Next time I'll be on time and I will find the gramer erors. (just practicing)

Love the way you built up the suspense there.
Congratulations, Jessica!
And happy new year everyone!
I haven't visited for too long, so no lucky socks for me. Congratulations, Jessica!
You can even make a sock award grammar contest funny. Cheers!
Oh my goodness I love this blog name. And I wish I had seen your contest - I totally woulda entered.
Congrats to Jessica.
Jessica is the name of my girlfiend, unfortunately was not the lucky winner of this pair of socks.
Congrats to the lucky lady :) Oh and I'm a guy who loves to point out or at least try to find grammatical errors.
Dark-chocolate-covered matzah is the best! (The hyphens are in response to a more recent post, but I don't think it works here.)
