Enter To Win the 12 Days of Giveaways 2016 – Day 1
Today is Day 1 of Magic of Miles 12 Days of Giveaways!
I hope you are enjoying the holidays so far. Perhaps stealing away for an hour to read a book or do some window-shopping, enjoying late evenings with loved ones around a crackling fireplace and hot cocoa, or packing to leave for a vacation trip somewhere warm and tropical.
For most people though (myself included), travel stress tends to creep in and threaten to steamroll all that happy holiday glow. I wrote earlier today about 3 of my favorite tips to combat that stress, and would love to hear some of yours.
To enter today’s contest for a box full of goodies from Magic of Miles, leave a comment on this post with one of your favorite ways to combat stress during the holidays. I’d love to hear how readers keep their zen at this time of the year.
A winner will be randomly drawn via random.org. There is a contest each day for the next 11 days on Magic of Miles, and you can enter once per day. There is no one-per-household limit so be sure to share with friends & family too. Each daily contest ends at 9pm PST, and you can find more contest details here.
Good luck and thanks for reading!
