5 Days of Giveaways: Day 1 – Adobe Lightroom

Adobe Lightroom 5

Oh man, we’re really excited to get our holiday giveaway started! We’ve been talking about it for a while now, and I can’t believe we are already into the second week of December.

Beth and I wanted to kick the first day off with a little something for all the photographers out there, so our first prize in our holiday giveaway is a copy of Adobe Lightroom. If you haven’t seen Beth’s review of the popular editing software yet, I’d definitely recommend checking it out here: Make Your Travel Photos Sing: A Light Room Review, Tips and Presets.

We wanted to make this a fun holiday giveaway, so we made it as simple as possible to enter. Each completed task that you do below will earn you entries into this giveaway to win a copy ofย Adobe Lightroom. The contest will end at 11:59 p.m. Dec. 16, 2013. You can earn an additional 5 entries each day by tweeting about the giveaway through the Rafflecopter widget below!

Since we asked you guys to share your favorite holiday movie with us in the comments below, we thought it would be fun to share ours too. We’re both suckers for Christmas movies, especially the classics, so our picks shouldn’t be too much of a surprise.ย The Christmas Story is and will always be my all-time favorite. And Beth loves Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase.
