Cape Cod Moms Family Festivus Giveaway

Last year we brought you the extremely popular Family Festivus Giveaway. This year we are back with more giveaways to offer. Festivus is a term coined by pop culture by the ever popular and much loved and missed sitcom: Seinfeld!  Now defined on Wikipedia as a "secular holiday celebrated on December 23 which serves as an alternative to participating in the pressures and commercialism of the Christmas and holiday season," this holiday gets back to some of the more important parts of Christmas: FAMILY!

In honor of Festivus and Family and to remind you to SLOW DOWN and take some time to really enjoy everything with your loved ones this season, we've teamed up with some of our local Cape Cod and Plymouth Businesses to bring you some amazing giveaways.

Belly Books 
Signed Copy of 'Can't Wait to Show You', a Read to Me onesie, & $20 gift card to Amazon

It's never too early to read to your baby! Belly Books, written and illustrated by Jacqueline Boyle and Susan Lupone Stonis, are inspired by a wealth of scientific evidence showing that babies absorb elements of language while in the womb, and that a rhythmic, repetitive story read regularly during the last trimester soothes and stimulates your baby before and after he or she is born. At the same time, reading Belly Books allows you to celebrate this time of joyful anticipation. Belly Books are durable board books, made in the USA, with a uniquely rounded shape that fits mommy’s belly!  Belly Books are beautiful, intelligent and fun, and they are designed to help  you to bond with your baby before birth through the magic of language and literacy.  Check out the Cape Cod Moms review and interview of Belly Books here.
