December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

Wow, what cool gifts! I'm most looking forward to spending quality time with my Mom...she's 83 and ailing a bit. Each year I think maybe this will be our last Christmas together. They live in Nebraska most of the year, so it's always nice to have them with us in Florida for the holidays.

I look forward to being with family, eating, the decorations and Christmas music.

My favorite thing to look forward to is our annual family visit to Longwood Garden's. They have the most fabulous indoor Christmas display. Last year I had walking pneumonia and didn't think we were going to make it but on Christmas day I was feeling a little better so we made a quick trip and they were open! Can't wait to see it this year hopefully sickness free.

I am looking forward to less rushed, more thoughtful celebratory activities. Last January I made notes of what worked, what didn't, and will use those notes as a guide for this year.: )

Is this a Blog or the biggest Ali Fan Club!!
Much Love to Ali....
I love to bake cookies, all shapes sizes and kinds. I can't wait to get started. My friend hosts a cookie swap/scrap party that I am looking forward to attending.
Oh the weather out side is.....

Being with my family tops the list. Celebrating the birth of Christ and seeing the wonder of it all in my children's faces.

I love the anticipation - the build-up to the big day (although I'm a little sad as two of my children won't be home for Christmas). Love the December project Ali!

I am most looking forward to decorating the house with the kids and doing all the fun holiday traditions with them. Going to the holiday parade, baking cookies, buying/wrapping gifts, opening the advent boxes daily in December, playing in the snow, and reading holiday books. So fun!

I'm just looking forward to soaking up the holidays--I love how magical it all feels, even with all the to-do's as a grown-up.

My kids are at the perfect age where each year brings more understanding of what Christmas is about. I love watching the progression through these years.

The think I'm most looking forward to is going home to spend a month with my family! I live a really long way away from them and I don't get to see them often enough, so a whole month with them is pure bliss :)

This will be a special yet difficult Christmas for my family. We lost my father-in-law unexpectedly and my brother-in-law will return to Iraq in January. However, the whole family - 14 in all - are taking a Disney Cruise just before the holidays. We will celebrate old memories and make new ones to carry us into a new year.

I can't wait to do Christmas crafts with my Mom, and sister.

I am most looking forward to spending time with my oldest son who is away at college! I MISS HIM SOOOOOO MUCH!

WOW!!! 2344 posts so far...what awesome readership! Love your stuff Ali...keeps me on my toes! Christmas is such a special time of year to be with our grown daughters and visit with family....celebrate the birth of the One who saved me, us, you!!! A purely joyful time of year. Love, love, love!

What generous give-aways!
Thank you to You, Evalicious and Elle's Studio.
I look forward to spending the holiday season with my 2.5 year old son. He might just be old enough to feel a little of that holiday magic, I know I am looking forward to watching him explore it.
I am planning to go snow-shoeing in Waterton Lakes National Park, drinking "hotty chokit" in front of the fire, building snowpeople and documenting our holiday season. Best of luck to your family this season.

I'm looking forward to a fresh start and starting new traditions with my husband.
We will soon be moving 6 hours away from both of our parents, who right now, are less than 6 minutes away. It will be a big change, but change is just what the doctor ordered for these newlyweds.

I can't wait to make Christmas cookies and work on my daily scrapbook (of course)!!
