Christmas has come early for one lucky Braintree and Witham Times reader, who has scooped prizes worth hundreds of pounds in our Win Christmas competition.
Gillian Mitson, of Hythe Close, Braintree, was picked from the hat of 130 entries in the fantastic contest.
Readers were asked to find a letter in each of the windows to spell out the name of a well known Christmas song, then bring their completed entry forms to the Times stall at the recent Braintree Christmas fayre.
The answer was Mistletoe and Wine and the prizes were:
Four tickets to any movie at Cineworld; a Pilgrim bracelet from Fever Accessories; Christmas gift wrap selection at Card Factory; a family photo session worth £160 from Barrett and Coe; a Christmas teddy from Hallmark; £10 voucher from Shake Express; Fiji rug worth £50 from Walkers Carpets; a Lalaloopsy doll from Kidzone Toys, a family meal from Bar Sport; a cut and blow dry and nails worth £55 from Let's Go Hair; food hamper from Tesco; £20 meal voucher from Tutti Grille; £15 gift voucher from PARC; American Crew Christmas gift set from Mack's Barber Shop; afternoon cream tea for two from The Glass House Tea Room; bouquet of flowers from Bernard Chapman; and a bottle of Champagne from Majestic Wines.
