    I would buy presents for my 3 boys. I am disabled and my husband lost his job so we are trying to survive on my disability which doesn't go very far. So to win this would be a blessing for sure!

    My husband is starting a new business, so money is a little tight this season. $600.00 would ensure that we could have Christmas at our house after all!

    We had to move cross country because my husband couldn't find a job on the West Coast and he had to go back to his old job on the East Coast. We had to leave being close to my kids and grandkids. I would use the money to fly to the West Coast to see my family.

    I love spending money on others! I would purchase as much as I could for children (toys, clothing, etc.) and donate them to our local shelter. What a blessed thought!!!

    This year's been lean for us, so I would use the money to pay down some of our bills and to give my daughter a nice Christmas/Birthday. Thanks so much for the great giveaway! Ilene

    2013 has been a rough year. Between dog surgeries, wrecked cars and getting robbed, we could really use a leg up. The money would be used to pay off some of our bills and the rest would go to our savings account for our Yellowstone trip next July!

    I would surprise my husband with a gift. We haven't exchanged gifts in 5 years since having kids. We spend a small budget on the kids. I would love to surprise him with something nice.

    I am the manager of a food pantry in Indianapolis called The Sharing Place. I would buy meat because that is what we run out of most often.

    The year has been so rough on our family, there are so many things I could do with this. I would probably use half of it to get an Xbox w/ Kinect that my kids have been begging for to put under the tree...and the rest? I'd use it to clothe the kids.

    If I had an extra $600 I'd use it to buy Christmas presents. My car died on Black Friday, so Christmas will be slim this year.

    While I SHOULD use it to pay bills or help boost our savings, I know myself and I would use it to take my family to a fun holiday outing -- Yuletide or Wicked (in some other city) or a Colts game. Some good old-fashioned family togetherness.

    What would I get? Hard to say. I have 9 children including the 3 spouses, and 4 grandchildren with another due next June. I would love to be able to help my kids out. A new baby coming, 3 of them in college. Maybe I could be selfish and do something just for my husband and I. That would be a switch!

    We would use some of it to help out with our kids' Christmas and I think I'd pay it forward with the rest and share it with another special needs family (hopefully they can be split easily?) ... I couldn't do a giving campaign this year so it would be nice to be able to still help another family.

    I would finish Christmas shopping in a flash instead of weighing all of the sales, and then donate more to the Christmas store we support through church. Right now my kids each pick one gift each to donate, would love to knock out their "most needed" list!!!

    I think I'd have to share the wealth and get gifts for those that won't have a great Christmas. And maybe a big care package for a few people I know who are struggling.
