We’re entering the final month of the year, my favorite - December!
Over the years, the Elves at the BingoMania HQ have developed a tradition of fun-filled Holiday specials that are now some of the best in online Bingo.
This year, the elves are excited to get to it but want to hear what’s on your wish list too:
What Bingo Holiday Specials would you like to see at BingoMania.com?
Share your suggestions by leaving a comment below. And in the good spirit of the Holidays, the first 50 mania members to share their Bingo Wishes might just receive an early Christmas present from the Elves at BingoMania : )

This is a guest post by GM Bill
We all had such a great time with the Halloween Contest this year that we have decided to do it once again for Christmas : )
The “2007 Christmas Name Contest” begins Saturday, December 1st!
So get those thinking caps on and get those name changes in before the end of the day on the 15th.

To see the official rules and time line with deadlines visit my personal web page
CHRISTMAS 2007 NAME CONTEST:
Show off your creativity by selecting a new and dazzling Christmas alias for a chance at some great prizes. It’s time to put on those thinking caps and get ready for a chance to win with a new name.
Simply pick a new name that we love and you may get a very nice gift. We had some fantastic entries last Christmas and we can’t wait to see what you will come up with this year. We have added an extra twist this year and will be awarding even more prizes.
We will award name winners in several categories; most creative/original, most outrageously funny, and the “Spirit of Christmas” award.
HOW IT WORKS:
You must be an active player in Bingo Mania, Nickel Bingo.
Only one name change per account/email address is allowed. If duplicated or multiple entries are received, only the first (1st) one will be accepted and the other disqualified.
You must keep the name from the time you change it, until the end of the month. Be sure to join us in the chat rooms so the GMs can see your new name.

Most of us at one time or other, feel the strain of stress: family stress, stress at work, stress of not winning Bingo : (
On today’s post, I’d like to share with you, 5 easy ways I fight off stress. Hope you find some of these tips helpful in freeing up your mind, and boosting your physical and mental energy.

- Laugh as much as possible
- Get a good night’s sleep.
- Do some desk exercises if you are stressed at work or while playing bingo online between games : )

By now, everyone knows that I love YouTube. Its endless types of content, from funny videos as we’ve seen with the Sneezing Panda - to more touching videos like this one I’d like to share with you today.
Hope you enjoy the theme behind the video. It’s for a great cause.

Tallying up the votes took slightly longer than anticipated. But nevertheless, we have our winners.
As some of you know, there was a problem with the closing time of the polling station. Originally the poll was set to close at 5pm EST. Unfortunately our blog server time is set on UK time zone so 5pm EST means 9pm EST. As a result, a couple extra votes sneaked their way and slightly skewed 3rd & 4th standings as well as 5th place.
We’re not perfect. However, when we do make a mistake, we make it right. So to ensure the little time difference didn’t spoil a fun-filled promo, we’re awarding two 3rd place finishes and three 5th place finishes.
Without further ado, I present you the winners from BingoMania’s 1st Ever Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest:
Grand Prize Winner
Princess angel ($250 Amazon Gift Certificate)
2nd Place Winners
Hanutapig ($100 Amazon gift Certificate)
3rd Place (Tie)
Sunny155 - ($50 Amazon Gift Certificate)
-and-
wicked wench - ($50 Amazon Gift Certificate)
4th & 5th (3-way Tie)
Pigaboo - $25 BB
bingo4mummy - $25 BB
HappyHOGaween - $25 BB
Congratulations!
And to show our appreciation for a job well done to our contenders who didn’t make the top 5, we will credit their accounts with a little ty bonus.

[update] A big thank you to “LostMyBroom” for taking the time to resend her carved pumpkin photo to us. As some of you heard, “LostMyBroom’s”photos never found their way to us, so we never got a chance to officially enter her in the contest : ( … we feel horrible and for next year’s contest, we will do our best to make sure there’s a plan B for submitting photo.
