December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

My favorite part about the holidays is the cookinig. I love to cook for people and during this time of year, I get to make some of our family favorites. Its also time for soup (love soup), pumpkin pie (my favorite) and other yummies.
Cheers to all!

The magic the season brings :-)
and watching ELF, love that!

No greater blessing over the holiday season than getting on a plane and flying from the west coast to the east coast where our daughter and three of our grandchildren live. I miss them soooo very much and treasure this wonderful time of the year which is so magical with childre. I love to cook a turkey for the family...because they "all" say "grammy's turkey is the best"...lol. Ali thanks for asking, Catherine A

I'm looking forward to not wondering if my dh would get called out onto a job for the holiday.

Hi Ali,
Love the Dec daily album idea! I always look forward towards a day or two of baking Chnristmas goodies, then, taking them to my sister's cookie swap. I love all the treats this time of year!
Thanks, Susie Turpin

I am so looking forward to spending our first holiday in our new home. We move in on Nov 20. I hope to have the house in some semblance of order quickly, so that we can then decorate!!
Love your blog, Ali! Congrats on the technorati ranking.

This will be my first Christmas with my fiance...I'm so looking forward to the start of OUR Christmas traditions as a family, and sharing in each others family traditions.

This year I look forward to being thinner in holiday pictures, not over eating and having the energy to play with my kids.

I know this sounds frivolous but I can't wait to have Christmas cookies. I can't wait to make them, and I can't wait to eat them. Few things conjure up the feeling of Christmas and family and home like our traditional sugar cookies.
Love the December Daily album and can't wait to get started on mine.
Thanks for the inspiration.

i love christmas! i love putting up the christmas tree, decorating our house, listening to n'sync christmas music, making christmas cookies, spending time iwth family and friends.
i am looking forward to following along with your 25 days of christmas album.

I am looking forward to an *organized* Christmas. Holidays are always family-centered in our family, but it's always chaotic. I just want to get a jump-start on things so they aren't insane this year.

WE bought a new house this year, and I am most looking forward to using the decorations from my childhood and family that I have now...putting them up in our new house, making it cozy, and THEN INVITING OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO ENJOY IT TOO! That's really my favorite part. Serving up the cookies and watching our friends and family with joy on their faces and grace in our lives.

I am most looking forward to experiencing the wonder of the season through my kids, and to working on handmade gifts with them and spending time together as a family.
:)

I think I am most looking forward to reconnecting with my family. It is such a wonderful time for us because life seems to slow down a bit...school break, work break, just an easy going time to remind us how fun it is to be together!

Great Giveaway! I pulled all my paper for my December Daily Album last night so this would be a perfect addition.
What I am most looking forward to is sitting on the couch with my girls and watching Christmas movies and also reading 'A Christmas Carol' to the them.

What is there NOT to look forward to during this Christmas season? I love everything about it from selecting gifts to make for friends & family, to baking with my three children, cozy days inside with the fire going, hot cocoa after a day at the mountain or sledding, pumpkin pie, picking out the perfect Christmas tree & decorating it together, Christmas music, the story of Christ and sharing it each year with the kids. I think the thing I enjoy most about Christmas time is the togetherness it brings to our family and friends. I really enjoy and cherish this time each and every year!

Favorite part- decorating and lovely Christmasy pictures!

Ooooooh, those are lovely!!
I'm looking forward to everything! But mostly, continuing our own family traditions that we've started, mixed in with our old ones. I'm excited that my littlest, Saylor, is now old enough to enjoy it!

As always it's time with family, enjoying traditions like christmas film night followed by take out and generally just enjoying the simple things. As the children are getting older this christmas seems even more precious than normal. I completed my first "christmas Daily" album last year with the same feelings in mind.
Thanks for the chance to win.

how generous is that! I am most looking forward to picking and decorating our tree. I love smelling that fresh smell every day in December.
