Congratulations on being in the top 1000 list!! Your blog is number one on my list :-)

Looking so forward to decorating trees, Christmas stories with our 3 and 2 year old, Baking cookies, singing carols, visiting Santa...love love love Xmas and how it makes me appreciate my family even more that I already do!
Thanks for the giveaway chance.

I am most looking forward to our nightly Advent calendar ... each night we read a scripture and do a family activity. Even my teenage girls still love this tradition!

I am looking forward to having my husband home from Iraq. For some reason, this deployment has been especially stressful for me and the kids. He gets back in mid-December and I am going to do a 25 days of Christmas album(or maybe the whole month of December?) to document our time just prior to and after his return home. I plan to have all the shopping and decorating done before he gets home so we can all just kick back and enjoy being together. The first time in a year our family will be together...I can't wait!

This holiday season is filled with firsts for us. My top three things:
1. Our first Christmas in our new home--with a real chimney and fireplace for Santa which thrills my 2 & 5 year olds!
2. Having opportunity to host my in-laws this Christmas, the first for my husband to be with them in 13 years.
3. Welcoming our first baby boy into the family, we're due Christmas day!

I'm looking forward to decorating, listening to Christmas music & watching old Christmas specials.

Seeing the season through my 18 month old son's eyes...and enjoying family!

I am most looking forward to being with my family. We've started to spread out all over the country, but we'll all be there at Christmas!

Snow, Snow, SNOW! and of course cozy warm fires, both inside and out. I am one of those nutty people who just thrives on being outside in the winter. I love getting everyone bundled up, watching the kids wallow in it, seeing the dogs dig their noses in it...I even like shoveling it! During outside play we usually get a good fire going so cold wet hands can warm up and then we all come inside and sit in front of a toasty fire with homemade soup or hot chocolate.

I am most looking forward to picking up my son from infantry training. Christmas will be extra special!

This holiday season I am looking forward to taking the time to enjoy it. I am a college instructor, and my busiest time of year is at the end of the semester. With grades due just a few days before Christmas this year, it will be easy to ignore this important time, so I am setting the intention to make the time for the holidays.

All the family is coming to our house this year!!!! I am so excited for that!

I am looking forward to decorating my house and spending time with my family and friends. I also love the activities we do with our advent calendar.

I love everything about the Christmas season, the weather, the shopping for others, the music and baking. But I'm really looking forward to spend time with family. We don't see them often enough and this Christmas some are coming to spend it with us.

Starting new traditions with my 9-month old daughter.

Spending time with family and friends, and sharing what is going on in our lives.

I'm getting the kids new Nanos for Christmas, and they will freak out. It will be awesome to see their faces!

My favorite time at Christmas is when the whole family is together and enjoying everything about Christmas..baking cookies,decorating the tree. We are a military family and this will be the first christmas back in the states.
