December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

I am looking forward to spending time together as a family. I love the "magic" that is in the air and the excitement the kids have.
Thank you for your blog! Congrats!

I love the holidays.
I can't wait to put our tree up.
And bake.

I am most looking forward to having some time away from work and spending time with my fiance and dog. I'm also looking forward to time off to get some scrapping in.

The look on my daughter's eyes when she opens presents. She is almost three and I think this time she will really get it!

this is our first Christmas in our own house, I can barely wait to start decorating here for the first time!

not very original but I love spending time with family and friends. I love gifts, and love that I can give gifts and receive gifts at the same time! I'm preparing for this all year long but especially during the fall, making and buying presents, planning, and trying to make the holidays great for everyone we spend them with.

I love all the family gatherings that take place- each of us takes a turn at hosting one- Christmas Eve Dinner is always at our place. I also love that the studio where I work closes from Dec 23 until the new year, so it really gives me loads of time to savour the season with my husband and daughter. Can't beat that!

For me the best thing about Christmas is having the ultimate excuse to be a big kid and remember the simple, fun and magic things.

Being the 1697th comment i don't think i will win, however would love the opportunity to make an album like yours. I am looking forward to seeing my best friend happy again, she's just had a mastectomy and potentially faces chemo to ensure that her cancer doesn't come back, by Christmas she should be starting to feel a little more 'normal.'

i love decorating the house for the holidays, spending time with family and friends, shopping, holiday smells, cooking, giving gifts, crafting, ah heck I love it all.

I most anticipate decorating and enjoying the Christmas Tree with my little ones. They look so forward to it ALL YEAR! It is magical to see the excitement in my little girls' eyes!

I look forward to all the time before christmas, my man & I will bake, visit friends, go shopping for all those gift, and I can't wait to play in all that white lovely snow. I will absorbe all the christmas I can, before I have to go to work at my platform. I have to leave the 23 of december, how said is that? New Years Eve and everything. Last year I spent my Christmas there too.. But next year I'm home, and that's great! Yes I really look forward to all the days before the 23. I love Christmas!

I'm looking forward to the wonder & magic on the faces of my children. We love the holidays. That, and sledding! We're doing to try skiing this year too -- whoo-hoo!

I have declared this Christmas "The Season of Felt!" I have fallen in love with this texture and have picked up red felt stars (Ikea) that light up, felted balls for the tree (Crate and Barrel), and I'm stitching up a tiny whimsical felt tree with little felt balls (Artgirlz). With any luck there will be felt tags attached to brown paper packages too. I can't wait to start decorating!
Oh, and I did I mention FAMILY?! Yes, time with them is precious too. Maybe I can felt them all a scarf in time?!?

I look forward to the way my children learn about the Nativity story like they've never heard it. EVERY year they listen and talk of it with wonder. Last year my 7yo on Christmas Eve told my husband she really felt the Lord wanting her to give her life to Him and she was saved that night. The majesty of the Lord's birth, the idea of my God coming down in the form of a sweet little baby, helpless and innocent, moves me beyond words!

My son will be 3, so I am looking forward to him really "getting" Christmas this year. I am anticipating the entire holiday season. The Eggnog Lattes at Starbucks, the homemade treats, the smell of a Christmas tree... I can't wait to dig into my Christmas decorations and find all the new ornaments and surprises I bought last year at after Christmas sales, and had to wait an entire year to put up :) All of it, I am looking forward to all of it!

baking, crafting, giving, eating, decorating, I am looking forward to all that, and more! I can't wait to pull out my scrap stuff and make one of these books. I love this idea!

how pretty my house looks with all the decorations, lights and the tree with presents; baking and decorating cookies ; visting relatives etc etc. etc.
I just want to with something!!

I am looking forward to spending time with my family. We will be getting together to talk, laugh, eat, and celebrate the birth of Jesus. Old traditions will continue and new ones will begin.

I can't wait to bake cookies with my girls! I think we've got about 10 different kinds to bake all in one, marathon day - so fun:)
