December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

Favorite part... there are so many! But I think it boils down to spending specials moments with family, whether it is having all our extended family sharing meals together, baking cookies with the kids, watching the kids open presents, or just sitting by the fire together. It is really about doing special things together!
Congrats Ali on you blog recognition!

I am most looking forward to looking across the holiday table at my husband, sitting down enjoying being with his family for a change. He works harder than anyone I know and I enjoy counting on his being with us, at least, during dinner. He exudes "family man" and I usually whip out my camera to "catch" him as often as he'll let me!

I look forward to family time, gingerbread man collecting, and baking!

Spending time with my family and do lots of cosy things. Oh, and do some scrapbooking :)

I enjoy the mood it evokes of joy, peace, warmth, nostalgia and family.

The wonder of the holiday thru my 2 year olds eyes!

I am most looking forward to going to see The Nutcracker with my family. It is one of our traditions and we love the variations of the ballet with each passing year.
Cheers, Karen Geckler

I'm looking forward to spending time with relatives who will be visiting us during the holidays. Since we moved to FL, we don't get to see them often & I think holidays is when you miss them most. This year we'll all be together and it will be lots of fun!

Time with family, time to slow down, time to sit in front of the fire and enjoy life.

I am looking forward to not working this December. Last year was my first year running my own business and I made the mistake of working until the middle of December, meeting the needs of clients and using too much of the time I should have used for my own family. This year I will have so many more memories and experiences with my hubs and kiddos

Being with family. We have just learned that my mother in law has cancer, and her course of action is still undetermined. Knowing that, the rest of what we do for Christmas really isn't that important.
Her prognosis is hopeful, so it's not that I fear this will be our last Christmas with her, it's just that I know that just spending time with us and her grandchildren will be what means the most to her.

I love the holidays, but it's family that makes it most special for me and I'm looking forward to great family times this year.

Ok I must win this! I was just considering a 25 days of Christmas album.
I am looking forward to being at home for the holidays and decorating the house for Christmas.

This will be my son's first holiday season. He is 8 mos now and very observant! It is so exciting to watch him discover new things, inspect them. Of course they must pass the taste test, too!!
The Christmas season is my most favorite time of year. Having the opportunity to see Cason discover and enjoy this time of year will truly be something to behold!
Thanks for the great give-aways!

I am most looking forward to family time. The boys & I playing games in the living room to the light of the Christmas tree and sound of the fire crackling in the fireplace. These are the uneventful moments that I cherish.

Just looking forward to good food and family fun ! I love the holidays !!!

I am looking forward to the smell of a fresh christmas tree.

I'm looking forward to just being here with my kiddos and hubby. Doing some crafts and our Advent (your suggestion from last year) and watching Muppett's Christmas Carol 50 times (at least!)

I can't wait to get the house decorated... it always seems to make my house warmer to have the tree lit up and happy times.

I'm looking forward to going home and spending time with my family. My sister is getting married next year, so we'll be doing wedding dress shopping and other misc. planning.
