We’re pre-announcing Mint’s first (probably annual) Holiday Spending Hangover contest to our blog readers. We hope you’ll submit your own story, in video or text, about your 2007 holiday shopping experiences. The best video and text submissions will each win up to $5,000 (and some free financial planning).

Click here to check out some sample videos and full contest details. We’ll start accepting entries on January 31, 2008, so get your creative juices flowing now!
