December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

I love opening my Christmas cards and spending Christmas Day at home with my husband and three kids---its the best! Some relatives stop by and visit but we don't leave the house at all! It is so wonderful! I love it!

I always leave meaningful comments, but never win. Tonight I feel silly, so I am going to be un-serious....
--I love the eggnog,
--I don't love all the office parties,
--I don't love my husband has call Christmas Eve,
--I love the start of my December Daily Album!!

Oh my gosh.. I just love everything about the holiday season. I guess the best thing is watching my kids' excitement as the season progresses... watching their faces as they enjoy the Christmas lights, getting toys for kids on the giving tree, decorating the tree... etc. I love showing them the spirit of Christmas more than the "getting gifts" part of it.

My daughter and I host a gingerbread making party every year with other moms and daughters--a tradition we look forward to all year round!

Oh man so many comments!
I am looking forward to spending Christmas with my husband in our first house together! There will be so many memories throughout our lives and I know that this particular Christmas will be a time for us to share with our children and grandchildren. I'm so looking forward to being able to capture and record all the precious memories!

I am looking forward to our day of tree decorating (two trees) and cookie making. We let our kids invite friends over and it is always a wonderful day!

The music, decorating, baking...maybe having a clean home for a few days! : )
Driving around town on Christmas Eve with my family to look at all the Christmas lights.

The nice cold weather! :-P Making gifts for friends and family.... and just being with friends and family. :-)

I am most looking forward to some time off from work to spend with my family!!

I am so looking forward to seeing my family, my relatives and friends this Christmas and introducing my 15month old son to them! Oh yes, and taking lots of phtos and eating all my fave foods!

This year is the first in a long time that I will not have a retail job and have to work all the days surrounding the holidays. I'm looking forward to spending time with family and making memories and actually having time to put some albums together. Thanks for all the "sharing" you do Ali!

I love decorating and baking. But most of all I love being with my family on Christmas and just enjoying being together.

I look forward to all the family gatherings. It's alot of time management...be here be there but I am glad we always make an effort to see our relatives. It's good for the kids to know that it doesn't just 'come'...we have to always make efforts esp. for those that are important to us.

Favorite thing about the holidays? Everything! Especially getting to be with my college kids. THanks for all you great ideas!

I'm really looking forward to spending some quality time at home with the kids. The holidays are a nice pause from kids sports and crazy school schedules. I miss the times when they were little and we had nothing on the schedule but fingerpainting or playing with stuffed animals all day!

1.I look forward to the kindness it brings out in people.Bring it on with all that many have endured this year we need the good in people to come out and spread around.
2.Unpacking all the special ornaments and remembering the who,what and why of each one of them.

Buying a christmas tree and decorating the house with christmas stuff. Shopping,shopping, shopping. Family gatherings and exchanging gifts. Smell of december.

Oh! I neeeeeed these! I've been trying to put together my album & need some cut stuff like this!
I'm really looking forward to seeing my 2 year old son's reactions to all the pretty lights and things you can only find at Christmastime.

family. holiday traditions. cozy moments on the couch with twinkle lights. the movies and music. the joy of the season. family.

I just love the anticipation of Christmas. People are happier and friendlier. And the house always smells so god with all the baking and the tree!
