December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

This year I am looking forward to getting to celebrate the REAL reason for Christmas! My husband and I decided to not go crazy for our 3 children and just get them a few gifts. I am also looking forward to teaching my kids about giving to others!!!! My daughter is 7 and my middle son will be 4 next month so we are going shopping for some families at my sons preschool. Then of course I LOVE putting up the tree!!! ;-) Thanks for all of your posts with meanings!

I'm looking forward to having friends come over from New Zealand for Xmas.

Love the smells of the season. Is that weird? Especially the evergreen boughs...Yankee candles...sugar cookies baking!
That, and seeing the kids with all their packages under the tree on Christmas morning. Those are my favorite things!!!

my husband and i are celebrating our 1st xmas as husband and wife; we were married on 7/12/08; i am surprising him by flying out his folks from michigan to spend xmas with us. he wont have a clue!

I'm looking forward to my parents coming from MI to spend Christmas with us!

I am most looking forward to spending time with my siblings and their kids and my parents, as we are rarely able to be all together!

The little memories that we make when spending time with friends and family...I love the day of but really enjoy the build up to the season. It's really magical!
Am excited to try this Dec. journal - I've never done anything like this before!

This year I am really looking forward to having my sister (who is a helicopter pilot in Navy and currently deployed)home with us for Christmas! I can't wait to see her. I also look forward to the food, the lights, the smile on someone face when you give them a give they love! I love it all!

I am so looking forward to the time with friends and family and the opportunity to reconnect with people that I don't get to see often. And then there is the FOOD!!! Sher B.

DECORATING is my favorite! Putting up my christmas tree and trying to make it just a little better than the year before. This year I have 2 more christmas trees...eek I am in heaven!

Spending time with my family members. & seeing the joy in my childrens little faces!

What wonderful giveaways! I'm so excited about this holiday season because it is my first as a mom. My twins will be 7 months old at Christmas...such a fun age! :)

This will be our first year with a completely empty nest (our youngest just moved out two weeks ago) and I am looking forward to creating some new traditions with my husband - and documenting them of course!

I'm hoping to squeeze in a trip to Apple Hill for apples and other farm fresh goodies. I'm looking forward to stuffing - I know we can eat it whenever but its definitely on the menu now!

What I look forward to most....Spending time with my family of course. My SIL is having a baby next month and that is going to be exciting. The time spent with family is something I cherish.

I am so excited to be home this year. We just moved home after five years away. And I am ridiculously excited about the fact that we will get to spend Christmas morning at our own home under our own tree before heading over to my parents'.

I am looking forward to the twinkling Christmas lights on the tree, snuggling on the couch, and warm fuzzy slippers.

This holiday season I am most looking forward to going home and spending time with my family. They live 1000 miles away so I don't get to see them nearly as much as I would like.

when things start to near the holidays I love the cooler weather. I live in Florida and any cooler days here is such a plus to get you in the holiday mood....
peace

I am looking forward to Christmas Day. We sleep in (I have college-age kids) and eat a late breakfast. Open stockings and presents. We send our kids on a scavenger hunt for their final "handsome reward". Then we stay in pjs all day long-- watch Christmas movies, snack, nap and enjoy our family until the wonderful day comes to an end. Even the kids' friends arrive in pjs and stay for awhile!
