Happy Leap Day! One Lucky Reader Will Win a $200 Hanes Goodie Basket
Category: Giveaways
Happy Leap Day! It’s not every year we get this bonus day, so we’re in the mood to celebrate. Our friends at Hanes have put together a goodie basket filled with tees, socks, underwear, shirts and more for the entire family valued at over $200. And to make the prize even sweeter, they’re throwing in an extra $50 gift certificate for one lucky winner to use on Hanes.com.
How do you enter? Tell us how you’ll spend Leap Day. Working as usual or taking the day off? Bonus points if you’re celebrating a leap year birthday. Leave a comment below no later than Sunday, 3/2/08 at 11:59 PM ET. (One winner will be chosen during a random drawing and will be notified via e-mail to receive the prize.)
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED
Congrats to Janet M. of Afton, OK!

We're having a run of the mill day here. Kids are too little to comprehend the idea of Leap Year.Posted by Heather on 02/29 at 10:28 AM
Pretty much just the same as usual - work for me and school/daycare for the kiddos. We are driving down to visit a friend of mine for the weekend, but that's not anything specific to Leap Year - just that her daughter's birthday is on Sunday.Posted by Deb - Mom of 3 Girls on 02/29 at 10:44 AM
So far I have spent it having an unsuccessful 4D ultrasound and then watching Sesame Street. I hope I can at least get out of making dinnerPosted by Aardvark on 02/29 at 10:59 AM
I tried to explain to my 4-year-old about what today was, but she didn't seem too interested or curious. Today is just a regular day for us too, although in my daughter's class they are celebrating a classmate's birthday (does that count for bonus points?).Posted by Shimona on 02/29 at 11:07 AM
Not quite how I had planned on spending leap day, but I'm spending it home with my (almost) 11 month daughter, who is sick with multiple ear infections.I'm dealing with way too much poop (an unfortunate side-effect of the antibiotic), and she's got a bad diaper rash. I just hope she feels better soon, its heart-breaking.

at work watching the snow fall outside of my window...and hoping it slows down before I have to leave to drive home at 5:00!Posted by Amy on 02/29 at 11:55 AM
Most people don't even really think about Leap Year as being any big deal. And that's the way I always thought until I watched a news story this morning about a woman who was born on Feb. 29th, and only gets to celebrate her birthday on Leap Year, once every 4 years! Wow!Posted by Mary Boldin on 02/29 at 12:04 PM
household chores, nothing specialPosted by jeanette malan on 02/29 at 12:08 PM
I started entering sweepstakes and find it rather relaxing sometimes.Posted by silver33 on 02/29 at 12:08 PM

We spent the lunch hour at our granddaughter's day care special luncheon. Many pictures were taken. The kids sang 4 songs and were cute as the dickens. The food was as delicious as any Thanksgiving dinner I have ever been to and believe I've been to many! My daughter-in-law made mashed potatoes and gravy and that sure hit the spot. there was turkey and so many dishes to select from and top-notch desserts just like Mom and Grandma always made.Posted by Wesley Meyer on 02/29 at 02:38 PM
