Oprah's famed "Favorite Things" show didn't transpire in 2009 but most fans know that Oprah can't celebrate the holidays without giving away some goodies. Instead of sending audience members into a frenzy giving away refrigerators and computers, The Oprah Winfrey Show has opted to have the O Magazine host The Oprah Magazine's 12-Day Holiday Give-O-Way
Oprah's Magazine is set to give away a slew of great prizes but you have to buy the December 2009 issue of Oprah Winfrey's Magazine to play or go to the Oprah magazine site. Twelve readers will win every gift in the 2009 O List Holiday Edition. One grand-prize winner will also win free trips for two to The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Ellen DeGeneres Show!
O, The Oprah Magazine, sometimes simply abbreviated to O, is a monthly magazine founded by Oprah Winfrey and Hearst Corporation. It was first published on April 19, 2000.
There are holiday icons hidden in the pages of O's December 2009 issue and on Oprah.com—one for each day of the contest. Once a day, from December 1 through December 12, a player must log in to the O Magazine site and type in the appropriate code for that day (found on the icon in the pages of the magazine or on the site). Each day's entry will increase your chances of winning.
Each winner will receive all of these rather lavish prizes. The following are the gifts and what their retail value is:
