Our team at Baydin loves the holidays — from the sparkling Christmas lights and decorations to spiked egg-nog and gingerbread cookies. We like getting to spend time with our families during the holidays even more than all the festivities and merry drinking.

If you kept a close eye on our Twitter accounts during the holidays, you may have wondered how we were managing to respond to customer emails while we should have been opening presents. Of course, we were using Boomerang to write the messages before, but have them go out later.
Since we know our users are a creative bunch, we wanted to know how they used Boomerang during the holidays to make their hectic lives easier. So we held a contest to give away some gorgeous Boomerang T-shirts. We got many tweets with varying degrees of cleverness, usefulness and hilarity. Thank you to everyone who tweeted a suggestion, and here are the 5 winners, picked by our team.
