December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

I am looking forward to doing my Christmas shopping with cash rather than credit cards. This is the first year that I budgeted and then saved money for Christmas and I am very proud of myself!

I'm looking forward to seeing how my 7.5 month old son reacts to his first Christmas.

I'm most looking forward to my attempt to make homemade gifts for everyone on my list this year. I might cheat a little and purchase a few things at craft shows, but nothing mass-manufactured this year. Hooray!

Hands down, spending time with family. Last Christmas my boys were too young to understand any of it. I'm looking forward to their reaction to all the holidays entail!

I am looking most forward to all of our family traditions!! We'll make sugar cookies, decorate gingerbread houses, act out the nativity and all sorts of fun things! I love all the family time!

The Family part. Decorating the tree & house with my girls. Making cookies and gingerbread houses with my girls. Visiting family, planning surprises for family, snuggling up by the fire, worshiping together - the whole fuzzy warmth of the season, together.

I love the christmas season and there are three reasons why:
1. My birthday
2. Decorating
and
3. Making gifts for my loved ones!

Looking forward to being back in Canada with family. We just moved to Utah a few months ago, and though I love it, I am missing our families like crazy! Can't wait to be reunited with them and making the most of the Season this year. There will probably be more photos than ever, more laughter, and hugs than ever, and unfortunately, more tears than ever...wish you and your a happy holidays this year too! Thanks!

I'm looking forward to feeling the "Christmas spirit", the joy of giving, the excitement & coziness that I wish was present all year long. That and the 24/7 holiday music on the radio. :)

To watch Xmas movies such as Le père Noël est une ordure and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

I'm most looking forward to flying to Florida with my family to visit my sister and her family for the holidays. I especially hope that it blizzards here (Canada) while we're gone - it will make the beach that much sweeter!!

I am looking forward to being with family. I moved away a couple of years ago and really missed that. Being back this year will be great!!
I am also looking forward to all the gift wrapping. I love to giftwrap and decorate packages, bags, bottles, anything I can diguise a gift in. It is amazing the things you can come up with and the way you can turn the gift wrap into a gift itself. I love it!!

As odd as this will sound to many of you, I'm looking forward to Christmas in January!
My DH is deployed for this holiday season, and while it does make me a bit sad, I'm very excited about it! He's coming home the last week of January, so we are postponing Christmas a few weeks at our house....we'll still do all the typical stuff--looking at lights, decorating thanksgiving weekend, hanging out as a family, etc--but we're doing our gift opening and Christmas dinner in January. All the pressure is off really.....and since all our shopping for the kids is DONE, the only pressure on me now is to finish some homemade scrappy gifts for the grandparents and great grandparents!
I'm looking forward to a relaxing holiday season!!!

I am looking forward to rolling out sugar cookies and decorating them with my 2 and 4 year old daughters. I am also excited to decorate the tree and watch Polar Express.

My favorite part of the holidays is making a gingerbread house with my daughter.

I love holiday movies! A Muppet Christmas Carol, The Family Stone, Love Actually... and I'm excited to celebrate my first Christmas as a married woman!

A very good friend moved far away this summer and they are coming home for Christmas so seeing them is a big plus. But my favorite thing now that my kids are older(17 & 10) is they decorate the tree and to just sit and listen to them tell stories talk about ornaments and just interact with each other makes my heart feel good!!!!

There is nothing more exciting than watching my children. To me this is christmas... I love the smells, the colors, the feelings, and of course it doesn't hurt that my birthday is a week before!!!
Both of those kits are beautiful btw!!!

I (((HEART))) everything about the holidays from decorating, to shopping, to wrapping.. You name it. can't wait to put my tree up.

Hi Ali. I am most looking forward to the decorations and the happy spirit that goes with the holidays. Although a stressful time, i also find it relaxing to go sledding with my kids or sit and have hot chocolate in front of the tree. I enjoy spending more time with family.
