[Congrats to winner Ivy J.!]

It's grab bag fun for the 9th Day of Christmas!

Or, as my husband calls it, thank-God-she’s-getting-rid-of-ANYTHING day.

What he doesn’t know is that these are some extras I’ve had stockpiled, so I’m really NOT purging my home office.

But yes, instead of giving away tickets to an event, this particular prize is a combo pack of stuff that surely will interest someone out there with taste as random as mine.

Your gift contains:

  • The book "Cold Sweat: My Father James Brown and Me," written by Yamma Brown.
  • The DVD "B.B. King Live at the Royal Albert Hall 2011," featuring performances from Slash, Ronnie Wood, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks.
  • The DVD "Toto 35th Anniversary: Live in Poland."
  • And CDs from Lecrae ("Gravity"), Ed Roland and the Sweet Tea Project ("Devils 'N Darlin's") and Kenny Chesney ("The Big Revival").

Now, the only thing different about today's giveaway is that you must be following me on Twitter to enter to win. So in your entry email, be sure to include your Twitter handle.

Otherwise, here is the drill.

Zip me an email at mruggieri@ajc.com – please put Day 9 in the subject field – by 5 p.m. Tuesday. Dec. 23. Seriously, if you put anything other than Day 9 in the subject field, it won't be entered when I sort the emails and you will have zero chance of winning. I will randomly select a winner and post the name on that day's blog entry once I've received confirmation. If you are the winner, I will contact you directly.

Good luck!
