December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

The magic of Christmas through the eyes of my two young boys. Plus decorating the house and all the lovely preparations that go into making Christmas special.

I look forward to Dec because it is the time I have some of my fondest memories of my mom. She loved xmas and I feel her spirit the strongest during this time. If the memories weren't so great it would be the most difficult time for me. Its been 5 yrs. I started scrapbooking after she passed which really helped me.

I am looking forward to the SMELL of the holidays! Cinnamon, Vanilla, Pine, and Gingerbread....mmmm
And the fact that EVERYONE will be together for the first time in 3 years!

Wow! I am SO getting into the Xmas mood! Awesome Ali! You inspired me to go Christmas shopping today! Wow...I'm starting early.
I am most looking forward to our Christmas tree. We cut it down ourselves, and it's usually around 14 feet tall. I bought our current house specifically so that we had a place for the tree!

I most look forward to getting together with family and watching my two kids play with all their cousins. Also doing all our yearly traditions and listening to xmas music.

I am looking forward to spending time with my siblings. We live far apart but Christmas is our special time each year and now that we all have kids (I have a 2 yr old and 4 mo old) we can teach them our traditions and what it means to be with family! I plan to finalize and share my Daily December album with them on Christmas Day and I know they will LOVE it!

I can hardly wait to surround myself in the twinkly, blingy, magical decorations that my daughters and I lovingly put around the house.

I love feeling the sensation of peace prevailing during the holidays but also the excitement of my children at the approach of Christmas night

What am I not looking forward to! The winter holidays are my favorite time of year. Something I really love this time of year is baking with my mom and grandma.I love the old recipes and the time I get to spend with two of the most incredible women:)

I love making cookies with my grandsons. It is a tradtion I started when my oldest grandson was a toddler.

I love so much about Christmas but one of my favorite things is going for a ride to see all of the Christmas lights. We take my mother-in-law and I think my 2 year old daughter will really enjoy it this year. We come home and have hot chocolate and Christmas cookies. It's relaxing and magical for everyone.
Congrats on the blog rating!

I love buying gifts to my friends, love and children.
I also love decorating my house.then I am looking forward for the usual traditions : tree, santa claus, christmas card and so many presents.
sorry for my english...
I love this ideas and blog...

I'm looking forward to being with family, realizing that, although my parents are healthy, my years with them are limited (Mama is 73; Daddy is 81). The holidays are a time for being with the ones we love the most.

I am looking forward to being settled. My husband and I moved during Hurrican Ike (not on purpose!) and have been "displaced" since then. We are moving into a new house on the 14th -- just in time to "make a home" for the holidays.

I'm looking forward to seeing the wonder of Christmas through a child's eyes.

I look forward to spending time with my family for thanksgiving and stuffing myself with all kinds of food. I look forward to gaining like 10-15 lbs! For Christmas I look forward to seeing my boys faces as they open their presents.

i am most lookin forward to all of the activities i have planned, i sat down yesterday and made 25 thing to do during the season, most of them involve bringing chritmas spirit to people i love, and then people i have never met before. i am so excited!!!

This holiday season is an extra special one for our family. My husband is graduating with his degree and we just placed an offer on our first home.
Both my husband and I are as excited about Christmas coming as our little kids. You can see the twinkle in our eyes this year too.

cooking, cooking, and decorating the home. Most important, is spending time with my kids and family
