Hiya Davina Once I found you I have voted EVERY day. Would love to see some photos later. Meantime I am enjoying looking at your profile with the wonderful Marmite. Do hope you are successful. Our son and his fiancee from Bristol are coming home for Christmas, but they booked prior to the Marmite promotion. Good luck.

Marmite My Mate....
Wow! Sanitarium you really are the best
One way ticket home! I’d love to be your guest!
I do miss my family and I have a new son
The years he has lived is not even one.
Christmas in London, well we would all freeze
Coming home both families we would really please
Skype is great but it’s just not the same
Missi...ng kisses and cuddles is a great shame
To be home for Christmas with presents under the tree
Would really fill all of us with lots of glee
I’d love to win though the competition is great
If you choose me I’d be your best mate!

Marmite Christmas Ode...
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
The only creature stirring was a little white mouse.
He had noticed the marmite under the tree,
And was taking it home to have for his tea.
Max was all snug in his New Zealand bed,
Dreams of marmite alive in his head.
Marmite and butter on thick hot toast,
And maybe a spoonful with tomorrows roast.
Morning came and Nana heard a big clatter,
She ran to the tree and said “What is the matter?”
Max was crying – inconsolable was he,
“The marmite is gone from under the tree”.
Yes - Marmite is a strange present- I know
But Nana knew, Marmite helps little boys grow.
“Now Max” said Nana “Don’t you despair”,
Let’s see if I have any Marmite to spare
Max ran to the pantry lively and quick,
Hundreds of jars Nana said “Take your pick”.
Max was no longer feeling dull and grey
Marmite, butter on toast – Nana saved the day!

Please send my only cousin home. I need to teach him the Haka and how to sing Pukeko in a Ponga Tree. I would like him to have his first Christmas in New Zealand in the sun so I can give him lots of cuddles and show him which Hot Wheel cars go the fastest. Liam

I would like Max home for Christmax. I want to show him the Southern Cross so he can always find his way home to NZ. I want to play Mario Kart with him and teach him all the things that only cousins can. Like finding Wetas in Nana's garden and how when you catch lizards the tail falls off. He needs to eat a meat pie and pavalova. If we don't save him quickly he might start to like mushy peas - yuck! Most of all he needs to start eating Kiwi Marmite - the real stuff!

Our Case....
Here we are in London Town, far far away from the motherland!!!! A few months ago we had wee Max who has not met any of his family, and all the many friends we have back home.
Just as importantly Max needs to learn the ways of the motherland eg: learn to talk properly (no funny accents), be able to see the ocean, beaches, and all the good things about NZ....and of course we need to make sure he eats the right food!!! Marmite is the only way, we need to make sure he doesnt even know about the dirty V word!!!!
We would love to get home for the above reasons...now we need to get people on here and get voting.
Marmite and hopefully us will be the winners at the end of the day...

Dear MARMITE makers at Sanitarium, After being together for many happy years it took a change of jobs and a big move to London (loaded up with a stash of MARMITE) for Glenn and Davina to find the right( recipe) to make wee Max.On learning they hit the jackpot it was a long 9 months pregnancy for us in New Zealand.When on the 2nd of May 2010 those first photos zoomed around the world via email you cant imagine the relief and joy to see such a handsome healthy delicious baby boy.Of course we cant discount the part MARMTE might have played.However we are desperate for our share of cuddles and kisses so PLEASE PLEASE can you feel our anguiish and Bring them home for Christmas.We wont mind if Max gets off the plane with a marmite face,Honestly we wont. Love Anne and Shorty

We would love Davina to bring home Max for Christmas. He needs to see that Marmite is readily available in any supermarket and gas station and is not only limited to the NZ shops that are in the back streets of London!

Judging
Sure, you may have 100,000 facebook friends to vote for you but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re on the plane. It’s a quality, then quantity rule round here. We’ll be making our decision based on originality and creativity, how well your entry fits with the values of the Marmite brand, then popularity.
