Dearest Idolbloggers,
I know that many of you may not have a spare $20 to splash out on an Idolblog T-Shirt, or a badge, even though you may want one more than you want to get into Michael Murphy's pants. So Santa is here to help.
I've decided to give one lucky Idolblogger both a badge and a T-Shirt of their choice from the Idolblog.com store.
How do I win, you ask? Simple. Tell Santa why you deserve the T-Shirt and badge, and perhaps a reason why you can't fork out for it yourself. Share your stories, and Santa will share his credit card!
Santa will make his decision at 6pm on Sunday night, just before the Wildcard show. So get posting Idolbloggers, and you might just get lucky!
Yours sincerely,
Santa Claus. :)

*sigh*
I still want a Idolblog badge
I was awayyyyyyyy!!
But congrats Twinnienoonah and GA!
P.S. Santa...feel free to give me idolblogware whenever you want
hehe Thanks my lil cherub!! Hey btw....I'm txting you at present...oooooo scary!!!
Pfffft. I call for a recount!
I don't believe in Santa anyway...
Congrats Bex! I guess if you can't have Dan Carter, an IB t-shirt is the next best thing
Hehe yea =)
I'm so excited!! =D
*hugs Bex and cantdecide* - yay!
Congratz Bex and Cantdecide.
Santa has made his decision.
Although 7Sins' reasons were very worthy, I've decided to give the T-Shirt and badge to Bex. She's always delightfully happy, except these last few weeks when she's been through some tough times and I think she deseves some mid-winter cheer! Well done Bex
I would also like to give a consolation prize of an Idolblog badge to cantdecide, simply for writing the longest post!
So winners, PM Santa with your choices and address, and Santa will hop on his sleigh ASAP
Shot! Thanks Santa.
And congratulations Bex!
OMG WOW!! YAY!! I'm soooo excited!! *hugs Santa Claus* YAY!! WOW!! =D THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
Dear Santa,
I would LOVE an Idolblog T-shirt and badge because:
a) I was going to buy the T-shirt last year, but my parents didn't allow me to waste my money. So the only way I could get Idolblog merchandise is by getting one for free.
I need to display/advertise my love for Idolblog.
I am also broke. *weep*
b) I don't have any T-shirts anymore!
They're all getting too short so my mum thre nearly all of them away. I have one left, and it's getting kinda tight. :S And a T-shirt is an essential part of a girl's wardrobe.
I'll need to wear something during summer. 
c) I always wanted a badge. I've never had a badge in my life. *feels immensely sorry for myself* I nearly for a Franz Ferdinand badge once. But then my brother, who was the one who gave it to me, decided to take it back.
I can promise you I'll wear them regularly.
Also, you are very nice, kind and generous and I love you.

*HUG*
*SCANS*
You're such a perv.
Why do i want a idolblog shirt and badge?
Becouse im a big fan of NZ Idol, and i only have $1.25 in the bank, and thats only enough to but something from McDonalds.
And on Mufti day i could advertise IdolBlog at school by wearing the idolblog stuff and if i won tickets to NZ Idol i could wear the shirt and badge, there are so many reasions why i want one i can't fit them all in here. But, when i can, i will send you a letter at christmas and ask for IdolBlog stuff if i don't win.
Thank you, Mr Claus for this fantastic opertunty.
Signed,
TuiKiwi
I WANT ONE
I deserve one cause im a llama and your not.
I thought you were on holiday around this time of year, Santa? When I was eight I rung what I thought was the Santa line and they told me you were on holiday in Majorca :S
Ooo pick me.
I am having a really bad week and things seem to be getting from bad to worse and that would cheer me up sooooooo much!! And also I get mufti at school so I'd wear it all the time and it would be great advertising for this absolutely wonderful sight which I love so much and always always puts a smile on my face!
Santa - your early this year
I've already ordered a badge and I can probably afford a tshirt in a few weeks, but if you can't decide on who deserves the merchandise, just remember Santa - I love you.

How about a simple:
Please can I be gifted the T-shirt and badge?! I would very-much-so-appreciate it
And I promise I would wear it as much as possible and be loyal towards it
And ohhh it would be sooo cool! I really don't have the money right now
Too many people's birthdays on atm! lol.
*hugs Santy-Clause*

Hope you have a marvelly-ous day
Three entries in so far.. Who else wants to try and win free Idolblogware?!
Oooooooo - Mr/Mrs Santa Claus - I have like 6 fav's and I can't spend like $125 on t-shirts now can I !!! I spend so much time on my Idols - that my wallet is suffering you see - no money - no T's :( Actually I devote toooooo much time to Idolblog - where all of my Idols are kept alive - where they are worshiped - admired - and pulled to bits - and I can't miss any gossip and spoilers - that just wouldn't be right now - so think of Ev kindly now would you when you hand out stuff - bleat bleat bleat :D
I deserve to win because i'm cool. And I really like NZ Idol, and I do all these things just before the show. And I can't fork out for one because, I dont have a job and my allowance wont cover it.
What sorts of things, IwantMichaelMurphy?
And if that doesn't work, then I should get it because I'm 7Sins.
And you all love me - even if you don't know it yet...
I have a rather large belly and it is going to get bigger before it gets smaller.
People - even strangers - stare at and comment on my ever expanding bulge.
Now imagine if the first thing they saw was Idolblog.com...
Ahhhh, you see? It's a win-win situation
I would get a new top (I am soooo limited to what I can wear these days *tear*) and you lovely people would get free advertising...
