I’m not on vacation, but Elmo is

By Mir

Category Contests

I’m not going to lie to you—it’s more than okay with me that my kids have outgrown Elmo. You could say that I experienced Elmo Fatigue by the time my youngest was over him. But I suppose he is rather lovable and fuzzy, and also, anything that keeps a small child occupied for more than five minutes is okay by me.

So have you seen that the latest Elmo movie is being released on Tuesday (June 24th)? It’s called Sesame Street: Elmo’s World — Summer Vacation. It promises to be the sort of Elmo-riffic (totally a word) fun that drives your little kid wild.

I’m giving away 5 copies of the new Elmo movie, just because you’re pretty. Want to win one? Leave a comment on this post by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, June 23rd, 2008 to be entered for a chance to win. One entry per person, valid email address, etc. Winners to be determined by random drawing and Dorothy the goldfish.

Ready? Go!

  152. Elmo is the only reason I am able to shower daily! His videos buy me 15 minutes of me time while my daughter bounces up and down to his antics! We only have 2 videos though, so this one would be a welcome addition! Thanks! Great giveaway!

  153. Would be great for my 3 year old niece! Her first word was “melmo”, meaning elmo.

  154. I am going on vacation in a week and a half, and the plane trip might be just the place to make my little one sit still and keep quiet while paying attention to an Elmo video. Thanks Mir!

    🙂

  205. This would be a big hit at our house~

  206. I’m not on vacation either. Phooey. Elmo would cheer me up, though. Oh, I mean the kids, the kids would like him. Hee.

  225. Elmos’ world here we come!

  226. My little one would love Elmo. Thanks!

  227. Elmo is my 19 mo. old’s new obsession!

  229. My daughter would be so excited!

  230. we’re elmo fans too

  231. I guess Elmos is not concerned about the surging price of gas or perhaps he is using his tax incentive check to go on vacation. Either way, it makes me sad that Elmo can afford to go on summer vacation but we can’t. Perhaps if we won this video, we could live vicariously through Elmo.

  232. My 19-month-old daughter loves Elmo so much, that she just has to let me know whenever “Elmo’s World” comes on during “Sesame Street.” She believes everyone else should love him, too.

  233. My neice loves Elmo. Thanks for the chance.

  234. This could make up for the fact that we aren’t taking our summer vacation until September 🙂

  235. Yay! Elmo!
