I won! I actually won! I actually won a ham! I actually won a Farmer John Ham! I actually won a Farmer John ham from Average Betty! She completes me! Thank you Sara!
~Mr. Rene
Thank you Average Betty for hosting this contest. And THANK YOU Farmer John for this delicious ham. I am very happy to accept this into our home this Christmas. It will only fuel my internal struggle to understand why anyone would eat a ham this holiday season that didn’t come from Farmer John.
Despite my snark for Paula Deen, I hope you all have a Merry Christmas. I also pray that my karma’s in check after this. I wouldn’t want to be hit in the face with a flying ham.
Cheers,
Phil
My acceptance won’t be nearly as poetic as Rene’s… However, I must say I’m thrilled to among the winners of the Farmer John Holiday Ham Giveaway! Honestly, I would haiku for hams any day — thank you for the inspiration. What a great contest idea, and how exciting to win a delicious Farmer John ham! My holiday is complete :).
Thank you, Farmer John and Average Betty!
Andrea
So honored, Sara,
To have won a ham from you.
Happy Holidays!
I ham what I ham,
Thanks Betty and Farmer John.
Hip hip hooray bam!
(Many thanks to Average Betty and Farmer John. I look forward to ham for Christmas!)
