As we officially start the winter season, I have a new giveaway for you today--award-winning newspaper columnist Lorraine Ahearn's new book, "The Man Who Became Santa Claus, and Other Winter Tales."

This new book is a collection of stories Ahearn has written over the years in her time with the Greensboro News and Record. I couldn't put it better than this information I received about the book--"It's a mix of gritty crime yarns, wry twists of fate and unexpected humanity amid hard times."

It's a great book to curl up with or to read when you have a moment here and there, since it's made up of short columns. I am so busy, that this is perfect when I want to take a little break for myself.

I loved the touching stories about real people, and I think you will too. It would be a great gift for anyone. I don't know if Christmas delivery is still possible, but you can order now at lorraineahearn.com, get free shipping, and your copy will be autographed!

You can also learn more about the author and read a short excerpt from the book.

KidsEatFor.com is a website and an app available for iPhone, iTouch, and Android that lets you know which restaurants offer free kids' meals near you.

I have sometimes used other websites that offer this service, but this app is convenient if you're already out and decide to grab a restaurant meal. You don't need a computer to tell you which restaurants near you offer free kids' meals. The information is on your phone.

You can also add deals you know about to the database, so the service is continuously growing. Right now it is available in major cities, so if you don't see your city listed, please check back in the future.

You can also follow KidsEatFor.com on Twitter and Facebook for updates on the service.
