We have our first winner!

The first day of our Five Days of Giving contest goes to Rebecca Keaton of Ellensburg. She nominated her fiance, Justin Ireland, to receive a $100 gift card because he's kept his head up during an especially tough year.

The 107.3 staff -- including Nahum Ray, John Riggs and Reesha on the Radio -- showed up Monday to surprise Justin, who thought he was going to visit Santa Claus at the Valley Mall.

In a way, he kind of was!

Here's Rebecca's nomination:

I am nominating my fiance, Justin Ireland. He has been through a rough year, but never stops smiling. He lost his grandma to cancer and two days later lost his dog, Faith. Then he recently started a new job just in time for the strikes from the piers in Seattle, so he didn't work much. Because of that loss of income we are on the verge of losing our house.
Like I said, he has been through a lot this year but hardly ever do I see him without a smile.
I think that is why he deserves this nomination.

If you know someone who deserves a little extra Christmas this year, fill in a nomination by 5 p.m. Wednesday. Click here for the form.
