Press Release Body = Angela M. Thomas of Piscataway, NJ is the second winner of a $40 Amazon gift certificate in ArcaMax Publishing\'s Holiday Idea Contest.
Angela, one of the many pet lovers among ArcaMax readers, shares her own way to make the holidays fun for pets. On Christmas morning, she hides treats around her home for her dog to find.
The pets seem to enjoy the tradition as much as their owners. \"It is a barrel of fun,\" Angela says. \"We have gotten some great holiday pictures that way.\" Her tip can be found at http://www.arcamax.com/cgi-bin/news/story/1036/35895/214443 .
ArcaMax Publishing\'s Holiday Idea Contest, which runs until December 23, has been very successful so far. Readers are eager to enter not only because of the chance to win a $40 gift certificate from Amazon, but also for the opportunity to share their ideas with the site\'s many other readers. Their entries are published on select sections of the website, as well as in many of the publisher\'s ezines (e-mail newsletters).
\"The reader response has been incredible,\" says Scott Wolf, CEO of ArcaMax Publishing. \"We\'re very fortunate to have readers this involved and enthusiastic. Their contributions are an important part of our ezines.\"
The Holiday Idea section contains more than forty published tips - just a few of the many ArcaMax has received since the promotion started on November 16. The section supplements the main holiday feature, which contains even more holiday tips. The Recipes section has holiday dishes covering everything from the perfect turkey to what to do with the leftovers. For advice outside the kitchen, there\'s consumer news covering the shopping season, as well as tips for decorating and safety around the house.
For those looking to give a little more, there\'s also information on charities and toy drives around the country. Readers looking for something on the lighter side can read fun facts about Christmas in other parts of the world, as well as trying out trivia quizzes and vocabulary games.
\"We\'re running the promotion for three more weeks,\" Wolf adds, \"and we don\'t foresee the level of participation dropping off. What we\'ve seen has been very encouraging.\"
The contest runs until December 23rd, with a new winner chosen every Wednesday. Each winner will receive a $40 gift certificate to Amazon.com, as well as the chance to have their idea published in one or more of ArcaMax\'s many online publications.
