Good News

     Yesterday morning, my dad woke me up. He said he had good news

to tell me. So I woke up, and it was only 6 o’clock. I ran as fast as I

could down stairs and into the den. I could hardly wait to open my

computer, because my dad e-mail me the good news.

Here is what it said:

 

Congratulations!

                                                                                                               

   I wanted you all to be the first to know, since your

child/children/grandchild had  participated in the 2008 Holiday Card

Contest.  We are so thankful to each and every one of you that entered –

a record for us, we had 96 entries! -  it was a pure pleasure to look

through the stack and see all the beautiful artwork.

                                                       

   We have selected one winner, and that is Victoria! Congratulations,

Victoria will receive  $100 and a supply of cards to share with her family

and friends.                                        

 

    That was a letter from the contest I entered at my dad’s company. His

company had a Holiday Card Contest, a yearly contest when children

of employees under the age of 15 can submit entries based on their theme

for the years’ card.  They select the winner(s) and put them on the cover

of the nationwide company holiday card, which each office sends to

customers and clients.  This year’s theme is:  What is your Holiday

Wish?

 

    I was so glad that I won! Today was my best day ever.
