5 Day of Giveaway: Day 5 – Beats by Dre Studios.
Wow, what a week! Thank you guys so much for coming out and sharing your holiday favorites with us! We’ve had such a great time reading everybody’s answers, and even found out about some new holiday movies, cookies and drinks. I’m excited to add a lot of your suggestions to our Christmas festivities this year.
For the final day of our giveaway, we wanted to make it something sexy, something for your soul, something to drown out that screaming baby in the seat next to you. Yep, we’re giving one lucky person a pair of Beats by Dre Studio headphones.
I haven’t had a chance to try the Beats Studio’s yet (we’re still waiting for them to arrive), but I have used Beth’s Beats Solo HD, which are pretty impressive. I’ve been a fan of Dr. Dre since his days in N.W.A. I even convinced my grandparents to buy me an N.W.A tape when I was 12, saying “Yeah, they swear a bit, but at least I’m not listening to the Devil’s music, Heavy Metal.” Though, I have to admit when Dre’s headphones first hit the scene I was skeptical. In my opinion, if you really wanted a pair of good headphones, you bought Bose. But then I tried them, and within a few minutes I was a fan!
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 for the Beats Studio (color may vary from what is shown above). The contest will end at 11:59 p.m. Dec. 16, 2013. You can earn an additional 2 entries each day by tweeting about the giveaway through the Rafflecopter widget below!
Since we asked you guys to share your favorite holiday song with us, we thought it would only be right if we share ours too. I absolutely love Christmas songs and recently I’ve been really digging U2’s Christmas (Baby Please Come Home). Beth, on the other hands, loves the classic sound of Silent Night.

I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog and about your adventures.
I would love to win these headphones. I have earphones but they never stay in and I’ve various brands and something always goes wrong. I’ve been looking at headphones but there are so many to choose from: Bose, Sennheiser, Frends, Beats, Sony, or Harmon. I listen to music every day whether it’s getting read for work, making supper or commuting.

Oh and can I mention I’ll be Home for Christmas?! As you see, I can simply not pick a favorite 🙂
