The Nexus 7, #3 on our list of the best gadget gifts for Christmas 2012, boasts a quad-core processor and the Android Jelly Bean OS, so it’s much faster and smoother than previous Android tablets. It’s small and compact, and it allows access to the broad universe of Android apps. It’s the tablet you want if you’re not picking up an iPad, and we’re giving it away. Click through for the details.

All you have to do is leave a comment below telling us your favorite thing about the holiday season. It doesn’t have to be a sob story. For example:

Aside from the obvious like being with family, food, decorating, giving gifts, my favorite thing is eggnog.

One winner will be chosen randomly and awarded the following prize:


One Nexus 7 Tablet


Official Rules:

  • One comment per person (yes, we check these things)
  • Entries must be in by December 24th, 2012, 11:59pm EST
  • The winner will be chosen randomly

My favorite thing is caroling. People just don't do it as much as they used to. When I was a child I looked forward to it every year with church friends.

Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite thing about the holidays is trying to find cheap funny gifts for my siblings, my best one for tomorrow is that I am giving my sister some crayons and a couple of Hello Kitty coloring books. I'd bet money that she does some coloring tomorrow too, oh and she is 35 years old.

I love giving gifts to the homeless shelter because all the donations revolve around women and children and it's awesome to hear how much the homeless men enjoyed their hat, gloves and toiletry items.
