December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

Looking forward to Christmas lights. My kids love to drive around looking at them, we always try to take different routes home. Also, we're taking a special surprise vacation to Disney, which will be all lit up for Christmas!

i love thinking up gifts to give my friends and family. every year is a challenge to come up with something meaningful, unique, but also at the same time not too expensive. plus i love the whole festive holiday mood - Christmas is my favourite season of the year!
thanks for posting your ideas and tips on doing the dec daily. i've decided to start one this year too! (:

Starting new traditions with my baby and husband!

I'm soo looking forward to family time. my inlaws are spending ckristmas eve here with us (here in norway this is the day we celebrate with the special christmas dinner and the gifts) and I'm so thankfull that we for the second year get to spend christmas at home

I think the baking of cookies. I love that it helps me remember my grandma who died a couple of years ago. She taught me how to bake, and I also love how it makes my house smell ;)I love passing down that tradition to my kids as well.

I am really looking forward to time and rest with my family. Most weeks I feel like I'm going 100 miles an hour and still don't get everything done. During the holidays I feel like I can stop and take a breath.

Looking forward to the fun, warm, traditions of decorating our tree, hot chocolate, reading Christmas books together...all family. All great.

What fun giveaways! No question for me, the thing I am most looking forward to is going home (to Oregon, even!) Two moves and a job a change in the last year means I haven't seen my family since last Christmas and I miss them tons.

I am really looking forward to celebrating my first Christmas as a mom. I think the daily December album will be a great way to document this special time.

wow, that's a lot of comments already this morning.
i look forward to downtime with family. fall is very busy for us. so the holiday season is a time to slow down, nest in our home and just enjoy each other.

Sharing traditions with my kids - homemade cocoa like my mom used to make, baking yummies, watching old movies all day, hikes in the PNW.

I am most looking forward to family and friend time. With both my kids in school at least part time, I am also looking forward to 2 weeks with them with no school when we can do some fun holiday activities and concentrate on FAMILY!!

I'm looking forward to decorating the house with the kids - picking out a tree, hanging the ornaments and placing decorations around the house. Also weekends of baking cookies and decorating them. Good times :)

I'm looking forward to picking out this year's special ornament and decorating the tree. I love remembering the stories and places from each ornament we've collected.

Simplifying and enjoying the season even more!

I am looking forward to spending time with my family. I am looking forward to embracing the season. I am looking forward to simplifying and knowing that it is OK. I am looking forward to using my new-found time as a result of simplifying to create new traditions for our family to enjoy.
I hope I can look forward to getting one of those fantastic kits in the mail! ;)

I am looking forward to getting my kids more and more involved in holiday planning - the decorating, cardmaking, baking... They are now 7 and 9, so they can really appreciate taking part!

I look forward to the quieter times December brings. I like the long nights and nest in days. We no longer do a lot of decorating and gift buying so it's a season to enjoy not stress over.
Great looking giveaways!

Thanks for the inspiration Ali! I'm looking forward to Christmas morning with our family ... everybody together, laughing, eating, opening gifts and feeling the LOVE! Have a wonderful day!

PS. I made a December album last year and am looking forward to repeating it. We have a new member of the family so it's exciting to document Josh's reaction to Christmas too!

I love getting everything set up and ready for Christmas. I'm always on the look out for new and different things to do together as a family. This year I'm looking forward to making Gingerbread Cookies, seeing the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert and hopefully taking my daughter Ice-Skating.
