December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

This year I am trying to make most of the gifts I give. I am looking forward to my Grandma, Aunts and Uncles opening up thier album from our family vacation earlier in the year and remembering the fun times that we had.

I'm looking forward to watching my little girls...both 4, discover the magic of the season again as we build new traditions together. I'm excited to teach them the gift of giving.

My favorite time about the holidays would be seeing all the family together - especially the ones I don't see too often during the year! Oh, and a nice big turkey dinner! :) LOL!

Looking forward to winding down and enjoying family;)

Nice giveaways!!! The thing I am most looking forward to is spending time with family (and then all the yummy food).

I am looking forward to making my annual Christmas donation to my colleague's animal rescue organization. I've known her for 5 years, and I'm proud of her for building the organization from the ground up.
In addition, we'll be spending our first Christmas with our new friends, who are like our extended family.
:)

What generous sponsors you have, Ali.
I'm looking forward to:
- volunteering for Women Build through PDX Habitat for Humanity with my sister on Thanksgiving weekend
- celebrating my 30th bday in December - new decade!
- spending a whole week visiting my family in San Diego over Christmas

i'm most looking forward to the display of lights...it's wonderful to drive around town from Thanksgiving to New Years and feel holiday spirit.

We are hoping for some peace and quiet... My 15 year old son suffers from severe Epidermolysis Bullosa and for the second time, he has a wound that is probably cancer. If it turns out to be, the holidays will most likely be spent in the hospital... So peace and quiet is all we want, and need, and desperately hope for...
Thanks Ali, for all the effort you put into your blog, it really is a treat to stop by.

I'm looking forward spending some time home with my kids. We will decorate the tree, listen to Christmas carrols and go to town to see all the decorations.

family. family. family.

Being with my whole family, who is spread out over 2 states, this year at our home-home, you know, that place you grew up that you still call home!! And knowing that my Mom will be there due to early diagnosis of breast cancer (lumpectomy scheduled for next week) and will be there for many more Christmases to come!!!

I am most looking forward to seeing all of my family together during the holidays. It's the only time we're all in one place at the same time, and I love getting a big, group shot for my scrapbooks. Some people complain about all the photos I take, but I know some day, they'll wish *they* had taken a few photos too. :-)

I am most looking forward to spending time with my son. Now that he is in school we have precious little quality time so holidays are even more special then before. :)

I am looking forward to my kiddos second Christmas. They will understand a little more this year and it will be amazing to see the holidays once again through the eyes of children. And of course I love the whole feel of the holidays...just makes me all warm and cozy.

I'm looking forward to Christmas music and everyone more mindful of how they treat each other. The seasons seem to bring out the best in all of us.

I am most looking forward to spending some more time with my family; ever since I moved away from home the holidays serve as a great excuse to get together a lot more often

I always look forward to our Christmas Eve gathering - mostly families that live away from their own families - we started our own tradition being together on this night. It is special and warm and full of love.

the day to day traditions of the christmas season with my children.

I am completely looking forward to the warm glow of the lights of the tree, baking with the kids, and the smells of the holidays. This year the kids are making a birthday cake for Jesus and we are going to celebrate his birthday family style. The kids are super excited and it is so fun to watch their joy!!
