December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

can't wait to see what my five month old is going to think of all of those BRIGHT lights! I can see her big eyes getting even wider all ready... : )

We are starting December with going to help package shoe boxes filled with fun goodies for less fortunate children in third-world countries as a part of Operation Christmas Child (www.samaritanspurse.org/occ)---there's only one day a year that kids under 12 can be a part of the processing center where they work to get these boxes out to the needy children. I'm just excited about the kids learning more about giving (and also me).
What incredible giveaways! Thanks for the chance. =)

I can hardly wait for this holiday season with my family. Last year, we were going through some pretty intense junk during this time. Things have changed now - there is freedom and healing. It should be a much different Christmas, and I intend to enjoy every moment!

We bought our very first home this year, so i'm looking forward to buying a Christmas tree and decorating my house. I'm also looking forward to cooking in my new home for family and friends, wrapping up presents. My most favorite thing is looking outside in the morning when there's fresh snow all around looking so pristine, white and untouched by footprints. =)

My mom passed away unexpectantly last October, so last year's Christmas was tough on everyone. No one really felt like 'celebrating'. This year, I looking forward to creating fresh, happy memories...for my dad, my siblings, and all the grandkids. :)

Because of the economy, this will be a pared-down holiday season for us... and that's what I'm looking forward to! I've already started MAKING things for family & friends instead of buying. It feels good to really think about that I can create for that special person.

I'm looking forward to starting new holiday traditions this year, rather than focusing on the negative.

Getting together with my family over the holidays is what I look forward to most...this year we are meeting in (warm sunny) Mexico instead of (cold snowy) Iowa. I don't know who is more excited the grandparents or the kids!

I love decorating my home for the holidays and making my Christmas cards. :D

Decorating, baking and most of all spending time with our families!

i'm most looking forward to watching my 2 1/2 year old enjoy christmas this year. he is already talking about it, and is so into the joy of the holiday. we will be taking him and his cousin on a "polar express" train ride. it is his favorite movie, one that is watched at least once a week, all year round. i think he will be completely blown away! thanks for sharing the goodies!

My 8 year old daughter and I enjoy some of the area small town luminaria walks and the decorations in small stores.

Our church has a Christmas program that the little children put on. I just love watching our little granddaughter (she's 4) on stage singing and ringing her jingle bells. Would sure love to win one of the giveaways. Thanks.

Decorating the tree and sitting in the glow of the Christmas lights once it's all done. Helping my parents celebrate their wedding anniversary which is on Christmas Eve. Just enjoying the season with family and friends.

I am most looking forward to spending Christmas with my daughter for the first time (we have two boys as well.) but having a girl will be completely different!

I'm definitely looking forward to spending time with my family, eating the good food that we try to treat ourselves with, and opening those wonderful presents.

I am most looking forward to Christmas Eve. Most of the family will come from all over the country. We will have almost 40 people from ages 2 to 92. We go to the same house and have the same meal and take the same dreaded group photos on the same staircase but it's been amazing to watch the changes over the years...the additions through marriage...the births. It's so wonderful to be together. The preperation for this event is part of the fun of the season.

I'm definitely looking forward to spending time with my family and doing some online volunteering for the UN.
And of course, making a December Daily Mini Album :)

I look so forward to the holidays. I love decorating my house and most importantly spending time with the family. I love spending the days cooking and baking in the kitchen and then in the evening sitting with my daughter and scrapbooking or making cards. I am so glad she finally became intrested in it. The holidays are just the best time of year.
