By f you’re unsure what this whole “Holidroid Contest” thing is all about, be prepared to get excited. From November 24th through December 25th, Phandroid is giving away a Kindle Fire every single day along with other great prizes like the Galaxy Nexus Galaxy Tabs, JAMBOX, SmarTouch Gloves, Android Phones, Android T-Shirts, Seidio Vouchers and more. Read our announcement post for details.
Yesterday’s Winner
For Wednesday’s Phandroid ornament challenge there were also a lot of amazing entries and after randomly selecting from our top 15 — Lee_Bay took home the prize with his almost 3-peice ornament, transforming his whole Christmas tree into a 3D Phandroid logo. Great job, Brandon and fam!
So, once again congrats to TechJunkie198 and Lee_Bay! We also want to give a warm — almost awkwardly long — embrace to everyone else that participated in our video and ornament challenge. Giving away prizes ain’t easy and I wish you all could win but I guess, that’s just how contests work. Let’s see what’s up for grabs today:
Amazon Kindle Fire
The Kindle Fire could be this holiday’s hottest product: at only $199 it’s not only one of the most affordable Android tablets, it’s also one of the best. That’s a killer combination. With a beautiful UI, great battery life, carefully curated apps/games, and an amazing array of media options thanks to Amazon’s Digital Content Ecosystem… the Kindle Fire is a sure win. Good luck winning one in our contest, but at only $199 it’s probably worth buying one just in case!
Isotoner SmarTouch Gloves
Every single holiday season these SmarTouch smartphone gloves are consistently one of my favorite gift giving items. They eloquently solve one of the most fundamental problems a tech lover faces: using your device in cold weather. Wearing gloves usually prevents your touchscreen from working: take your phone out, take your glove off, use your phone, hand gets gold, shove phone in pocket, rush to get glove on. NO MORE! Isotoner’s SmarTouch gloves, designed in my colors and sizes for both men and women, has technology that passes the electrons your body gives off, through the gloves, onto the capacitive screen and allowing it to work. VOILA! Seriously. It works. Trust me. Try it… and you’ll love them forever.
Seidio $30 Voucher
With so much smartphone use comes battery drain. Thankfully, Seidio makes some awesome extended batteries that fit many smartphones, allowing you to get longer battery life with the same device. No more toting around a charger everywhere you go: just snag a Seidio and call it a day! Seidio also makes cases, holsters, and other great accessories for your smartphones.Check them all out here.
ZeeMote Bluetooth Game Controller
The Zeemote Bluetooth Game Controller compacts things into one comfortable, ergonomically sound gaming package. You use one hand and the controller has an analog stick with four action buttons on it. It’s a bit reminiscent of a Nintendo Wiimote – makes you wonder where the name was inspired from. There are many games in the Android Market already compatible with the Zeemote, including the popular title R-Type, and you may even be able to use it with some of your emulators. It goes perfectly with many Android devices, from 3.2 inch phones to 10.1 inch tablets. And if you want the ultimate gaming experience, Zeemote + Phone/Tablet + TV + HDMI-out = awesome.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
Everyone seems to be craving Samsung Android devices these days, and for good reason. Samsung makes some of the best hardware out there, coupled with great software integration, and the Galaxy Nexus (above) and Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus are two great examples of Samsung’s industry leading products. These devices were sponsored directly by Samsung, thanking our readers and forum members for their excitement, interest, and support over the past year. With a 7-inch screen, 1.2GHz dual core processor, 1GB RAM, MicroSD slot, camera that records in 720p HD, and screen that displays in 1080p HD, the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is a high end alternative to the Kindle Fire… and you can win BOTH in our contest!

The holidays to me is about happiness. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Kwanza, Hanuka, etc, it should never only be about the materialistic things you get. This year has been rough not only for me but for countless other individuals.I will spend this year with my 2 kids and a few gifts for them and that’s more than enough to make me happy. Love equals happiness and happiness equals the best gift you can ever receive. Be if from your kids, your parents, your wife, your dog, or even a piece of lint that you keep in your belly button. This year i would like to wish all you strangers the happiest holidays possible. Thank you staff of Phandroid for these 31 days of freebies. Congratulations to those who won, it has been a fun couple of weeks. Now let’s get wasted off eggnog!
The holidays to me means spending time with the people you care about. my family and friends.

They mean i can relax from my studies, do some exercise and spend time with my love ones
The holidays to me are about giving and spending time to everyone that matters in your life and more.
Email just in case! [email protected]
What the holidays mean to me is entering all these contests and losing my mind thinking that I won everyone of them, but haven’t yet. Merry Christmas!
This is a case of great minds thinking alike, i highly doubt he copied you. My personal picks was him, you and the guy that made the 1930’s song. Yes, it’s a bit upsetting to lose but we are only the participants. The rest is left in the hands of the staff. If tech’s song made them the jolliest, shouldn’t that be what really matters?
Yeah, I get that, but he didn’t even show himself in the video and the entry video specifically said get crazy, dress up or something. The song was good, no doubt.
The holidays to me is spending time with family and friends; It’s really the only time of the year that all my family gets to be together we all live so far apart so on the holidays we get together and have a big family reunion type get together it’s pretty much the happiest time of year for me when I get to see all of my family together.
The holidays to me means entering lots of website give away contests, and never winning
Count me in!

Spending time with family.
For me the holidays is all about good family fun, hang out with friends and specially for remembering that Jesus was born. If it wasn’t for him i wouldn’t have accomplish all that i have done today
Ooohh, pick me. pick me.
The holidays mean time off from work to many, but I like to think of it as a time of reflection, to be thankful for what I have. Many people have it so much worse than I do. Also, it’s a holy time, with meaning to Judaism, Islam and Christianity alike. I leave this time to worship my God and I pray that those that believe or don’t find it a time of peace, to leave all the troubles behind you, even if its for a day.

To me the Holidays are about being with family; spending that time with the ones you love. It’s about enjoying the Christmas lights; the tree and other decorations. It’s about the food; oh the wondrous scrumptious food! It’s about tradition; whatever it may be (deep frying a turkey, or football, or shooting a potato gun with your uncle Jeb). It’s about the music; it puts you in the mood and I’ll even admit the corny lines make Christmas shopping more pleasant. It’s about religion; I’m going to intentionally keep this vague because no matter what beliefs you hold or what traditions you follow it is important to not forget the reasons we celebrate Christmas, or Hanuka, or Kwanza, or Festivus.
Happy Holidays everyone! May they all be great!

The Holidays! Well there are several Holidays, to me it is another day in the year out of several in the year that your close friends and family come together to live laugh and love one another. Time to connect and reconnect with loved ones enjoying a special day with special people. (I do not me in a special way! However if it is then that is fine too. (Side note this applies to my family and friends)). Above all have fun and act like a complete idiot because they are real the ones who will always be there for you! (Sum it up Holidays = Family = Love = Android = Phandroid)

To me, the holidays mean obligations to family and friends, hours spent explaining that it’s okay that my fiance and I really don’t get each other gifts and of course overeating…all while trying to ignore the dysfunctional social interaction by playing with my Android device, looking at the weather someplace that actually feels ‘christmasy’ (not SoFla). I do tend to think about how I spend too much money on my own stuff and what a selfish guy I am – eh, I’ll live.

Christmas! Ah, that time of year (including Thanksgiving) when generosity increases, and family values come more to the forefront. Christmas is a time for giving and sharing. I wish the sentiments could last all year long. And don’t forget that Phandroid.com and AndroidForums.com continue to ‘give’ all year long. Peace, Joy, and happiness to all.
The holidays means a lot to me; it’s all about happiness, being united, and most importantly, celebrating the day Jesus was born. Even though this year we don’t have the money to afford presents (I’m being 100% honest), I don’t really mind not having presents, as we are celebrating the birthday of Jesus. My dad is working overtime just so he can afford some kind of present, even though we (my brothers and I) already told him that we don’t want presents. Being with the family is enough. Also, it’s a good time for family members that are mad at each other to make up, because the atmosphere is just so jolly. :)
Christmas means appreciating the “now” time you have with all of your family and friends. Realizing that every moment is precious as well as fleeting!
Spending time with family and watching the kids open their presents. The happiness is the best.

The holidays serve as a reminder to value the ones you love. For some it’s the reason to see each other despite the demands of every day life. For me, it gives me a chance to show the people I care about how much I love them. The best possible gift is the gift of oneself. All other presents are a bonus.
The holidays mean its time for me to sit on the couch rolled up in a blanket with my favorite gal pal and a cup of my favorite hot liquid a bowl of my moms chill and wach all the movies i have missed this year

Whose a jigga what now?
The true meaning of the holidays is the birth of our child Jesus. It is not receiving material gifts but give thanks for the gift of being alive and to share with your loved ones. Believe me shared happiness is the best treasure you could have.
Happy holidays!

Holidays in my book means time to give. Whether it be thanks or gifts. We are all blessed with so much everyday that we can afford to give to someone a Lil less fortunate. We also get to be with family, nowadays you’re hard pressed to find the time between work, school, kids activities, adult activities. Holidays give you the time off from those to ketch up with one another

What it does mean: a new hope. “For unto us a child is born…”

Time with family and lots and lots of good food
The holidays means good food, family, and lots of jokes/booze and good times.
“The holidays” has always meant a time where family can come together and count our blessings for being able to come together. There wouldn’t be the usual gifts under a tree but everyone, from my family, would chip in so we could fly in some relatives from out of the country, go to church together, and have a potluck type meal with one another. “The holidays” are a time to strengthen bonds with the family and become closer through the food shared and the time spent together. My family is quite large so being able to get us together was enough to make us all happy and happiness is also a great portion of what makes “the holidays” special. The start of the new year are also a time to count our blessings throughout the year and pray that the next year be a blessed one a remember those who we have lost. So to make it short family, friends, love, blessings throughout the year, remembering the deceased and togetherness would define “the holidays” for me.
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays -Schmidt
To me, the Holidays is all about putting others before yourself. It’s one of the only times of the year people will make ridiculous sacrifices to give something to the people they love. Some people even make sacrifices for complete strangers. No matter your religious (or non-religious) background, everyone goes out of their way to make the people they love happy, and every year I am reminded of how amazing the world we live in is.

The Holidays mean a few different things to me.
*Reflect on the gifts or things in life I don’t deserve that I am so thankful or reliant on
*A time to openly share my love with my family and loved ones; unfortunately I forget to do it every day.
*Though its cold out side the time to bake pie together or cook holiday classics is a time to warm up and share love in a tangible way
*My family doesn’t really do allot of presents but if we do its always cool to spread the weight of the learning curve (took my dad 3 months to get the hang of the Samsung Vibrant I bought him, but at 70 using it to tether while he goes snow birding to FL, ehh he’s not doing bad.
*For me is Jesus for others it something else, but most importantly its about me looking inward on what the past year was, what I could have done better and how I can grow to achieve the ideals important and close to my heart.
*The holidays are that feeling you get when you sip whiskery, but instead of savoring a nice drink its sipping on precious moments and lasting memories.
I love all you guys, happy holidays, be safe and blessed and warm.
To me it means celebrating humanity and togetherness, the peaceful union of family and friends to enjoy each others company and remember the sacrifice that our lord Jesus Christ made for us.

The holidays to me, is the time that I am able to spend with my loved ones. Thankful for the the ones I still have living, and remembering the ones that I’ve lost.

In general, the holidays are a time to spend with my family and friends that are still in the area. Enjoy them, and tell them you love them, because in the blink of an eye you can lose them.
Days off, food, and presents are great for those who are fortunate to get them, but if all that fails, your loved ones are there.
Cheers everyone!
The holidays are about family & friends, but not only that, it’s giving. What I mean is giving to others. What can you do?

That’s showing LOVE! Merry Christmas to ALL!
