Merry Christmas! Here’s the winners!

It was so hard to decide the winners of the Christmas poem contest as there were so many great contributions. However, the contest was for a poem to put on your Christmas gift and there were two poems who stood out in the crowd and earned a 1st and 2nd place in the contest. A huge thank you to all participants! You can check out the challenge here!

The winner is *drumroll* Jackie LeBlanc who wrote a poem for a pair of fuzzy toe socks she’s giving for a friend (oops! I hope I didn’t ruin the surprise!) Jackie will receive a secret Christmas gift from Sofi.. I mean Santa. Here’s Jackies winning poem:

Each day, each week, each month, each season…
We’ve become friends and that’s the reason –
Thru weather of rain, snow or heat..
Having you as a friend just can’t be beat!
I care if you’re freezin’ -with ice on your nose –
So I give you this gift,
For your ten little toes!

On an honorable second place is Juliana Palmcook with her ingenious poem about a Christmas gift everyone can give no matter if you’re rich or poor… guess what! Juliana will get a special Christmas greeting in the mail!

My gift cannot be bought,
It doesn’t have a price tag; yet it is priceless,
It will keep you warm on a cold winter day,
It helps chase the blues away,
Although once in awhile you see it at the stores being exchanged,
My gift is free but with arms attached,
If you don’t need it now you can get a rain-check,
There is a rebate but not like you think,
It is yours forever to remember,
I don’t know who could ask for more,because it is really big,
My gift is wrapped with arms,
Can you guess my gift? Hint, it is a 3 letter word…
I hope that rings a jingle bell.

Sofia Talvik’s Xmas Calendar 2012 #9 Christmas remix by Kent’s Sami Sirviö

It’s no secret I think remixes is a really cool thing. It’s just so different from my own acoustic style and it’s always so interesting to hear how other people interpret my music. So this year I asked Sami Sirviö, guitarrist in Swedish rock band Kent to make a remix of my new Christmas single and he said yes. If you’re Swedish you probably don’t need me to introduce Sami to you, since Kent is one of Sweden’s biggest rock bands, but for the rest of you Sami is probably the next Nobel Prize winner (at least after this remix right? I hear it can cure cancer too!).

Kent have been Sweden’s darlings since 1995 when they released their first album, and I was of course a big fan like everyone else. Sami was one of the founding members and has also produced other artists as well as doing a few remixes here and there.

In today’s window I offer you “One Last Wish for Christmas Remixed” by Sami Sirviö. You can listen below or click the player to download for free. Enjoy folks!

You might also use it for shopping inspiration, maybe you will find a few things that are just begging for a poem. You don’t have to be Dickens and nothing really has to rhyme. Just give it your best shot and have a good time! Hey, what do you know, there’s a poem right there!

Merry Christmas!
