UPDATE 12/22: Contest is over! Thanks to everyone who voted and Dugg this story – Alek WON!!!

Check it out here: http://www.kfc.com/traditions/

_______________

Kentucky Fried Chicken is running a nationwide ‘Holiday Traditions’ contest and Colonel Sanders has selected one of my hubby’s friends as a finalist!!
If Alek wins, he will receive $1,000 – and while he is tempted to use that to buy even more Christmas Lights, he will have KFC donate the entire amount directly to the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Disease Research – which his sons have.

His holiday lights have already raised over $30,000 for the cause!

In addition to that, Alek and his family will enjoy an entire years worth of KFC chicken! BBURRPP….!!!

The winner is determined by internet voting through December 21st, 2008 so please click on this site and help win $1,000 for Celiac Disease. (We only have 48 hours left to vote!!)

Vote for entry #16 and help support a really great cause. What a great way to spread Christmas Cheer!

Please Digg this, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, whatever you can to help spread the word for this important cause!

• After you vote, go control his Christmas lights! How freaking cool is THAT? I personally like inflating and deflating the inflatables! Your kids will get a kick out of this too!
  

Have fun and thanks everyone!
