That’s it. It’s over. No more lunchboxes for you! 

Well, except for these final lucky winners:

Lindsey Persing (FB)

Michelle Martinez (FB & @miCh3lleeee)

Snarky Cindy (who probably has a real name as well, but to me is mostly @SnarkyCindy)

Hadiqa (who also probably has a fuller name, but is enough of a presence as @hadiqamo)

Sarah Pradhan (@partyofsarah – whose blog goes live TOMORROW – 1/2/17 – http://partyofsarah.com/ – you can also fall in love with her at https://www.facebook.com/partyofsarah – I’m telling you, folks, you want to get to know this one. She’s magical in at LEAST seventeen ways.)

Have a great new year, and thanks for playing. The #11FF slideshow video will be up before the end of this week. Get ready for the envy of the masses – it will be almost suffocating. 

Which is AWESOME for US. 

Love means honesty, even when it’s uncomfortable – and I’m about to share some love. Far too many of you let the holiday interfere with promoting and celebrating ME! Blue Cereal! The Meaning of the Tweeting! The Mosting of the Posting! The –

You know what? It’s a season of forgiveness and new beginnings. Let’s just… let it go. Put it behind us, like we hope to do with all of 2016 soon. Instead of bitterness and justifiable outrage, let’s celebrate the faithful with this week’s #11FF Lunch Box Winners!

There’s ONE WEEK LEFT – one last single week in which you can join the elite. Let’s get on that, shall we? Ne sense starting 2017 racked by guilt and failure. 

I’m not really a math person, but the way I count it, there are only TWO WEEKS LEFT FOR YOU TO WIN. There will be NOT GIVEAWAYS after that – at least not for several months. 

That being said, the sharing and retweetery this past week has been AMAZING – thank you! I make your timeline or FB feed much wiser and wittier, and you make me look popular with all the cool kids. That’s a win all ’round.

Thank you all, and keep making Social Media worth existing. Oh, and Happy Holi-Xmas Days and such!

The season is getting busier, the air drier and colder, and the #11FF elitier and elitier! (This is the Age of Trump – go ahead and tell me that’s not a word. Can you PROVE it? HA! That’s what I thought!)

There are only a few short weeks left in the BCE #11FF Lunchbox Giveaway. Don’t go into the New Year bathed in shame. Share the bejeebies out of Blue Cereal and you won’t even NEED Santa this year – you’ll have a Blue Cereal Specialized Nutrition Case!

This weeks #11FF Lunchbox Winners are:

Suzanne Sutton (@TheMsSutton)

Brokelahoma Teacher (@douthitta)

Rhonda Hlavaty (@APTeacher813)

Tom Rademacher (@MrTomRad)

If you’ve shared, but haven’t won, your name is still in the mix. Then again, it never hurts to keep sharing all things Blue Cereal. It looks good for me, and even BETTER for YOU! 

So the Holiest of Cows this Week! What wonderful participation – I nearly had a… a… moment, until I realized we’re all out of school for a few days and suddenly everyone has time for the Twitters and the Facebooking.

Still – many yays. 

Because particpation was so high, the spirits suggested I go a little crazy this week and choose ONE winner for each DAY (a total of seven, for those of you whose cultures do such things differently). I find it’s best – especially around the holidays – to pay heed to the spirits when they speak. 

And so… This Week’s Winners:

Amanda Smith – @manders416 (Twitter) 

Tom McDonald – @tmcdon3051 (Twitter)

Shannon Troxel (FB)

Faith Bilbruck (FB)

Pernille Ripp – @pernilleripp (Twitter)

Holt ELA George – @holtelageorge (Twitter)

Jennifer Gonzalez – @cultofpedagogy (Twitter)

Those not chosen stay in the hopper, so you may still win. You should, of course, feel free to improve your chances by continually sharing and promoting all things Blue Cereal. THANK YOU!
