How about listing Christmas songs and who originally recorded them? Or even, Christmas songs and the oddest people who recorded them. (Such as all of the songs that William Hung recorded). Otherwise, I'm out of ideas as most of what I thought of were already suggested. (Pick me, please. I never win anything. Really.)

My suggestion would be a write-in. The forum question is: If you had $1,000 to spend on your charity of choice, what would your charity be, why, and what would you buy on BF for your charity? An example might be Toys for Tots, and I'd buy as many Lego kits and My Little Ponies as I could find at Toys r Us, Target, and Walmart. You could even have a forum question where users are given a certain time to submit their write-in, and then all of the readers on the forum get to vote on the top, winning submissions.

Bargains, baking, and Black Friday! :holiday08

My idea: find 3 items in stores (online or not) that you believe will be BF items.

Make up a trivia game regarding black friday and things about it. You could probably come up with some stumpers. Trivia is fun and some of the answers could end up being funny depending on what was asked.

Since Christmas time is the season of giving, how about making a list of what you are going to do for the less fortunate this holiday? Brad can randomly pick a winner.

List 26 things you love about black friday. List 26 things you love about GottaDeal. Do a 12 days of Christmas song game. But make it the 12 Day of Black Friday. Who ever comes up with the best songs, wins.

I really want a shirt.... I like the other idea someone had about how many words can you make out of Black Friday. Poll on how much money you plan to spend. I can't think of anything else.

Famous Gotta Dealers: Have GD'rs find the most famous person they know and have them take a picture of them holding a GD logo. Who knows, you may get bunch of local weathermen but you may actually get someone famous!!

I think I'll try defying gravity .... and you can't pull me down!!!

I like this idea for one reason only... (AND I SWEAR... this is 100% TRUE!) One of my good friends' cousin is Miley Ray Cirus. I'm NOT joking. My friend's dad is Billy Ray Cirus' brother. Making Miley his cousin. Like I said.. this is completely 100% and absolutely true. I'd be all for this idea. LOL! Can't beat the hottest teen pop idol right now.

Once more adds are out give each gottadealer $1000.00 to "spend" and see what they put in their shopping cart. Can't purchase more than 1 of any type of items, only x number of items per store, etc...

Ask everyone where they are from and one from each state gets a t-shirt that way you know you will be well represented.

I Think That Is A Fantastic Idea!

And I REALLY REALLY Want A T-Shirt!!!

But I Can't Think Of Anything Good Right Now... :mad:

They did something similar on our local radio station but it was whoever could get the biggest star to call in on their behalf.... It was pretty amazing, I think the person who won had Sean Connery call in, but they had James Gandolfini, Donald Trump, Tony Hawk and a bunch of other people.. who knew?? What was even funnier was the way the stars reacted when they found out they weren't voted the biggest star that called in .. the egos involved!!

No no it is OK, I wasnt implying that I started that before you, when I posted my idea a couple hours earlier, I was thinking I need a cute signature and I thought if I made up a little diddy to a christmas song it would be cute and the beginning to Jingle Bells is all I could come up with. I didnt even think to suggest that as a contest.

So you can get all the credit for it!!!!
