“Blue Monday,” aka the most depressing day of the year, is Jan. 24. Godiva chocolate could be just the lift you’ll need — and if you win this giveaway they’ll be in your mailbox in time to lift your spirits.
Up for grabs are:
- Three chocolate bars (milk, dark and milk with almonds)
- Two tins of chocolate “pearls” (dark chocolate and dark chocolate with mint)
- One bag of chocolate-covered strawberries
Knowing that the sweets are on the way should help you make it through Blue Monday. And if you’re immune to such problems? Hang on to the treats — they’ll make a heck of a Valentine’s Day impression on someone.

Mmm, anything with chocolate sounds good to me! I must confess that chocolate is my weakness, and I’d probably have more spending money if I didn’t like chocolate so much.
Now this certainly would be a great pick-me-up and distraction from ” Blue Monday”! What a great idea, very thoughtful of you to offer such a great prize! Please include me in your giveaway.

Chocolate: Soul-soothing, spirit-lifting, sweet-tasting. I want it!
Here in the Atlanta area, we have been snowed in since Sunday night. I could really use some chocolate.
*jumps up and down, waving hand*
Ooh, pick me, pick me!
Also, I hope you’re enjoying your time with your daughter and I hope your ankle’s healing up quickly.
CHOCOLATE! Life is just not complete without it!
Glad you made it home safely!

Alright, this one I HAVE to enter. Godiva is heaven on earth for a moment or two! My question is, “How can any woman give up Godiva?” You are truly a saint! LOL and tee hee hee

Well, I have never heard of “Blue Monday” but now that I know about it I do need chocolate to get through it! It would be heavenly to win your Godiva giveaway. But if I am not lucky enough to win the Godiva, it will give me an excuse to go buy some chocolate to sustain me. 🙂

Hi Donna, I never heard of “Blue Monday” but it makes sense, as historically someone in my house (me) loses their mind every January since we’ve been in the Pacific Northwest. Please sign me up – in a house full of teenaged women, medicinal chocolate is more valuable than gold!
PS- I subscribed via RSS.
Woohoo!

And last but not least, I stalk you on facebook!
So what’s so blue about that Monday?
CHOCOLATE! This would be awesome, considering I didn’t get my usual collection of Terry’s Chocolate Oranges this year for Christmas. 🙁 I usually have a small piece after dinner every day to satiate my sweet-tooth!

In my office, chocolate is for medicinal purposes. It’s amazing how a good truffle at the right time has prevented a catastrophic hissy fit. Should be marked, “in case of emergency, break seal”

The one gift I look forward to at Christmas-my daughter always buys me Godivas and I am really stingy with them! I just eat a piece occasionally to make it last as long as possible. I would love love love to win this!

This would be awesome to win. I do feel slightly depressed… chocolate always makes it better.
I just looked (Mint.com) at my spending from Nov/Dec and could definitely use the chocolate pick me up.
For anyone who cares, chocolate is a bean. And beans are vegetables. So eating chocolate is a GOOD THING.
(Oh, and I subscribe by email, too!)
GOT CHOCOLATE?
@MollyMouser: I believe the USDA suggests five vegetables a day for optimum nutrition. So this is a health issue.
If I win, do I keep it for myself or give it away? Hard choice! 🙂
Facebook, too.
I could save them for my hubby’s Valentine treat! Which would be good since we’ve just cut spending to the bone….
Yum, Godiva! My indulgence every winter, but after Christmas so I can get a box that’s wrapped for Christmas at 50-75% off!
Mmmm. Yum.

Dear Donna, You my friend are AWESOME:) Lol. I’m glad I found your site (thru GRS) I signed up for that site you mentioned yesterday and I can’t wait to earn Amazon gift cards. I am constantly ordering things off Amazon. Plus I LOVE chocolate. I didn’t know there was a such thing as “Blue Monday”. Most Mondays are blue for me though! 🙂
I subscribe via e-mail.
Ha! As if I’d get chocolate in January and it would last until Valentine’s Day!
NomNom!! Love Godiva!
oh my goodness–I love chocolate! I doubt I’ll be hanging on to this until Valentine’s Day. I can justify it, tho–I’ll just pretend it’s my birthday (which is next week) present 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway.

What a delightful giveaway! Who doesn’t love chocolate!!
It will be a Blue Monday because I have my first ever periodontal appointment that day. It seems the dentist should have sent me there last year, even though it is only one tooth! Chocolate to eat when I come home would make the day so much more bearable. I subscribe by email.
So here is my comment. I need Godiva chocolate! I might just put some of that in for grandson’s birthday if I don’t eat it first.
I luv chocolate!!!!! Thanks for the offer.
Chocolate!!!

Chocolate is cheaper than therapy, and you don’t need an appointment.

Yum! Chocolate!
My Favorite!!
I vote we make Blue Monday a national holiday. Of course, then it would lose it’s meaning as the most depressing day, wouldn’t it. Okay, then send me the chocolate and I’ll work it out on my own. 😉 Please and thank you.
Please count me in!
Did someone say chocolate?
I wonder why its Jan.24th, but any day is a good day for Godiva chocolate. 🙂
I just wanted to tell you how much I would love the Godiva Chocolate :). My boyfriend has the biggest sweet tooth ever and I love having chocolate when he comes over. I haven’t read your blog before, but now I am going to dive in!!!
May Canadians enter? I don’t know if Blue Monday is the most depressing day of my year, but this time of year is not my favourite.
@ikkinlala: Yes, Canadians may enter. Thanks for throwing your hat into the ring, eh. 🙂
Chocolate is necessary to the maintenance of good health.
