My goodness, we’re almost at the end of our Christmas celebration.  Hasn’t this month just zoomed by to you? It certainly zoomed by to me.  On to today’s freebie.

Since your smart phone is not essentially a mini computer, did you know that like all computers they can pick up nasty viruses? It makes sense, but I didn’t realize it either!  Protect your phone with the Anti Virus Free app from AVG, the makers of some really cool regular antivirus software for your regular computer.

You can thank me later.

Are you counting down until New Year’s Day? I’m not.  I’m taking every single day as it comes, and I’m happy for ever new day that I’m able to open my eyes and curse the alarm clock.

Did you get what you wanted for Christmas?  I always tell my family not to get me anything, so I’m pretty good about not being disappointed. But just in case you wanted something and didn’t get what you wanted, RetailMeNot is running a sweepstakes were 100 of you can win a gift card for $250 every single day through Saturday, December 31.

For those of you tired of gift cards who just want something free, how about free samples of Splenda?  Make your life a little sweeter.

I’m a BIG believer in kids being kids and of course, in reading!  Put the two together and you have today’s freebie.  Amazon likes to cultivate a generation of readers as well, so they’re giving free downloads of the Kindle version (sorry everyone else) of Fairy Tales Every Child Should Know.  I wish every version was free this week, but alas, you win some, you lose some.

For those of you unable to download that book, remember that kids eat free this week at Ikea, and you can get a free 2012 calendar mailed to you.  I thought about the rest of us non-Kindle owning folks.

We’re nearing the end of this year’s thirty days of freebies, and they giveaways just keep getting better and better.  If you’re feeling the pinch after buying Christmas gifts, Ms. Latina can put $250 back into your pockets with this giveaway!  You have to “Like” them on Facebook, but hitting the button is so easy for a chance to pay your Christmas credit card debt!

Thanks to @Javi_NYC for the heads up on today’s freebie!

Eeek!

I almost forgot to publish today’s freebie.  Winter makes your skin dry.  How about a free purse sized skin cream (sorry guys)?  All you have to do is “Like” CVS on Facebook.  While you’re at it, you should “Like” me too.

Merry Christmas everyone!  Today I wish you health and happiness, love and laughter and an adundance of lots f time with your friends and family.

I didn’t forget about today’s freebie.  How about something that screams Christmas? Download “Messiah: 42. Chorus: “Hallelujah”” by Alexander Vilumanis for free on Amazon.

It’s the day before Christmas and I’m excited to be spending the holidays with my family.  I have still held firm to my vow to not buy even one Christmas gift.  It’ll be a shock to the family, but I think that spending time with them is more important than a gift that will disappear into the ether two days after they receive it.

I love the Christmas season for the opportunity to spend time with my family, for the festive clothing, and honestly, for the music.    I wish you and your family the merriest of Christmases.  Oh, and my Jewish friends, spin the dradle for me.

Okay, todays ‘giveaway is your chance to win a $100 gift card from Sephora.  Do you know how much make-up that buys?!
