As sure as the ball drops in Times Square, it has become tradition with my family to watch HGTV's Dream Home presentation every New Year's night.

For those of you who don't watch, every year Home & Garden Television builds some awesome, state-of-the-art home somewhere in the United States and gives it away to one lucky viewer. Viewers can go on line beginning Jan. 1 and enter to win, once a day, thru Feb. 19. Every New Year's night HGTV runs a one-hour program showcasing the home's features.



This year's grand estate was built in the world-famous valley and phenomenal town of Sonoma, California. The Victorian-style home, part of a $2 million grand-prize package that includes a 2009 GMC Acadia, will be awarded in March. Until then, online users can see a photo gallery and a 360-degree virtual tour at HGTV.com.

The 3,600 square foot two-story home incorporates the charm of the old with the lure of the new. Filled with the innovative ideas, architecture, art and design that make HGTV Dream Homes so exciting and unique, it includes three bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, a home office with fully stocked wine closet, gourmet kitchen and a two-car garage. Outside, the house welcomes visitors with front and back porches and a landscape designed with outdoor entertaining in mind.

In a word -- FABULOUS!!
