December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

The thing that I am most looking forward to is seeing my nephew enjoy his first christmas. Last year he was just a baby so he didn't get it but we just celebrated his first birthday and he really got into ripping the paper off his presents. He also just started walking so it is going to be a lot of fun...I may need to treat myself to a new camera ;)

I am looking forward to Alex's 2nd Christmas and seeing him hopefully get excited at the whole season...I just love kids at Christmas, even this year when money is tight I know they will have a wonderful time with family and seeing Santa...I can't wait!

I think the question might be more what I'm not looking forward to since that would be easier to answer - nothing! lol I enjoy a lot of the little things like making gingerbread cookies with the kids and decorating them. We always go out and see the lights on some of the amazingly decorated houses and there's a big park here with a Christmas train. I'm doing a December daily type album this year and looking forward to filling it with wonderful memories!

I love decorating my house. I love putting up little white twinkle lights!!! And I LOVE baking!!! But most of all...I love playing Christmas music...ahhhhh. I feel like doing it right now! ;D
Congratulations on your blog btw!

OMG...I so totally LOVE those goodies!! I'll have to do some Etsy'ing for some if I don't win...love 'em!! Congrats on the blog listing - well deserved!

Spending family time together is our favourite thing at Christmas time. Our newest tradition that started 3 years ago is making chocolate bark with my 2 boys.

This year I am looking forward to my mom, sister and nephew coming to stay with me! It will be my first Christmas celebrating in our new house, and i'm thrilled :)

I am most looking forward to the holiday season this year as it will my son's first Christmas. I can't wait to see him 'open' his presents!!! I will take soooo many pictures too, of course!

I'm looking forward to discovering a more simple holiday in all aspects--decorating, cooking, gift giving. It felt so out of control last year and I am hoping I will look back at my December Daily album and feel like I accomplished that goal.

Looking forward to getting the house decorated, spending time with family, eating, shopping all the good deals!

I am most looking forward to both the making and giving of gifts. It is double the pleasure for me, as I think abotu each person whilemakign their gift, and tweak each gift to mean something special for that loved one. Love seeing thier faces when I give the gits to them also. It makes me feel such love, far more than a store bought gift does.

Putting the ornament collection on the tree. The boys get so excited unwrapping each of their ornaments. They each know which one belongs to who and how they got each ornament. On the flip side I really dislike taking the ornaments down and packing them up (no one seems to want to help--hmmm?)

This year I am most looking forward to celebrating Christmas in our new home, decorating the house, adding some new traditions like chopping down our own tree in the backyard, and documenting it all in the awesome journal you have planned. Plus I picked up a few boxes, I loved that advent box set you made last year only there were no boxes to be found in my neighborhood, so this year I am planning ahead!

I'm looking forward to celebrate this Christmas with my two lovely young daughters (and of course my husband) and tell them everything I know about Christmas. One exciting thing for this year is to put up the album based on the guideline and suggestions provided in your blog during past two days. There are many ideas going through my mind past two days and I can't wait to start the album now (am already start putting it up).

I look forward to spending time with family. With the busy-ness of everyones lives, we only get together a couple times of year. It is so nice to visit with everyone & catch up.
I love the craziness of shopping Black Friday too. So fun...!

I am looking forward to christmas baking - I love to provide my family with yummy christmas goodies

Hi Ali...
This is my absolute favorite time of year... I get to pull out all my holiday decorations and it just reminds me of my childhood.... Love that!! Oh and the cooler weather so I can pull out my fall clothing and wear them with "the perfect boot"

Ow decorating, cooking, watching christmas movies,scrapbooking and trying to make this the best christmas ever yet again for the whole family!

Hi Ali!
I am loving the Christmas album! I started looking for supplies yesterday :)
I love the Christmas season. I am looking forward to putting the tree up; having cookie day with friends; and watching my 6 year enjoy the magic.

Hope.
Seeing hope on the faces of young kids waiting for Santa, Hope on the faces of elderly people at the thought of spending time with their children and grandkids, Hope for all the is to come and all that there will be.
That is what I look forward to.
Hope.
