We hope you all had a safe, happy and healthy holiday season; and that you rang in 2009, the year of change, with a bang! We noticed that despite the holidays, many of you continued to accept and complete challenges. Thank you for your dedication!

In addition to the challenges, we’re proud to announce that 11 Do Gooders shared their ‘Goodest’ holiday stories with the community! Some of them are funny, but most of them are really touching. Why not read them for yourself? And don’t forget to vote for your favourites!

There’s still plenty of time to enter the contest for a chance to win a flight for 2 to sizzling Cancun, a flip video HD camcorder, or a $100 Starbucks gift card! All you have to do is upload your video to YouTube and bring the link to the Contest submission page, and/or grab your digital photos, and then write your story to the best of your ability.

And to help you increase your odds at winning a prize, stay tuned for an upcoming post, “6.5 Ways to Get Yourself to Cancun”.

We would like to wish you and your families a happy and joy filled holiday season.

P.S. Hope you enjoy our video…it may take a few minutes to load BUT it is definitely worth the wait!
