December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

my favorite thing is going to cut down our christmas tree. we take the trip to the same tree farm every year on the day after thanksgiving. it has become our best tradition!!

I am looking forward to seeing my sister who is visiting from Chile. She lives so far away that I hardly ever get to see her, so I'm very excited about that.

I'm looking forward to spending time with my family and celebrating Christmas in our home. It has been a long time since we have done that. We usually visit family for Christmas, so this year will be a little different for us.

I am most looking forward to time with my family, especially after the hustle and bustle of the actual holiday is finished. And I'm looking forward to watching Elf and eating foods from the four food groups-candy, candy canes, candy corn and syrup!

There is something magical about the holidays, it's time for reflexion, union, love, quality time with family, definately a very special season to celebrate our lives, it's definately my most favorite time of the year.
I am looking forward the decorations, looking forward to see family, spend time with them and to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

What I am looking forward to about the holidays is taking time to be with family and trying to do things a little more simply this year.

I am looking forward to taking some vacation days and sleeping in.

Thanks for a fun contest I LOVE Elle's Studio (they are one of my etsy favorites)
There are so many things about t he holiday season I love, but one selfish reason. My birthday is right before Christmas. I love getting dressed up and meeting my freinds for a nice birthday dinner!

Being together with family and surprising unsuspecting recipients with a gift. I plan to leave a $20 tip with a wait staff person and bake some goodies for custodians at our school.

The music, the cookies, the lights and the pretty tree and Elf on DVD. I love it all. But mostly,I'm looking foward to seing my family in Canada. It is our family tradition. Can't wait!

I especially love moments of stillness, in front of the tree, with a cup of cocoa, or just listening to Christmas CDs

I am looking forward to summer - the beach, strawberries, long evenings spend outside. That's what Christmas in New Zealand is like!

I'm a teacher so I get a vacation from school too! I can't wait to spend time with my family and scrapbook as the snow falls. I love staying in p.j's and not having the hustle and bustle of work.

I am looking forward to hosting Thanksgiving and spending time with all of my family! Great giveaways! Thanks!!

Fairy Lights!!

Going out into the country and finding a Christmas tree with my family.

Spending Time with my Family!!!

I am really looking forward to spending time with my family (original I know) especially my extended family that I only get to see two or three times a year. A close (okay, not really that close) second would definitely be decorating the six Christmas trees that I put up around the house!

Spending time with the family, hot cocoa, snow (hopefully!), a fire in the fire place, playing games with the family, a day off from work!!

I love the warm feeling of getting home in the evening, turning on the lights and sitting in the quiet with the glow of the tree, writing cards, wrapping and enjoying the season.
