December Daily Giveaways: Elle's Studio + Evalicious

I look forward to spending time with my daughters, baking and decorating the house. I have two weeks off from work and it is a wonderful gift to be able to really enjoy the season.

My oldest son, who just turned 11, has always liked having an artificial Christmas tree because that way we didn't "kill" a real tree because "that's wasteful." (He does have a small point, even though I explained to him that that's why they grow these particular trees...)
Well, I can't wait to go out with my two sons and husband and cut down a real tree this year. I prepared my oldest last year that this year, for the first time as a family, we were going to go out and cut down a fresh tree.
We'll see how it goes!
Thanks Ali!

I'm looking forward to the preparation and the joy of having my family together for the holidays. At 27, 24, & 23 they are always off in different directions. They're always more grounded this time of the year.I think they love the time together as much as I do.

what you are most looking forward to during the upcoming holiday season
Last year we made the days of December advent calendar with the boxes you had on your site; it was a HUGE hit and I cant
wait to bring it our again this year!

Well, it's hard to believe that Halloween is in 2 days and then it's full swing into the holiday season. I hope to be early this year with the gift buying and preparing cards - ha! wishful thinking.:) Family time, Decorating the tree and trying to establish some traditions (like Snowflake Lane or Zoo Lights for my son who is 7. Congrats on making the top 1000.

The holiday's are such a wonderful time, and I always look forward to so many different things, but my three favorite are baking holiday cookies with my two sons, spending time with family, and my most favorite thing of all is on Christmas Eve when everyone has turned into bed, and I'm just turning in also for the night, there is something so special and peachful to realize that all your loved ones are tucked in safe and sound for the night. I always wonder what they are dreaming about, it's such a peachful time for me.

Christmas music*nostalgia of Christmas' past*fun with family*lights & the cozy feeling of my decorated home*traditions*making and keeping our memories together*reflecting on the impact of our Savior's birth...and so much more!

The thing I am looking forward to the most is just slowing down with my family. My daughter will be home from college(freshmen) my youngest daughter will be off for three weeks and my husband will take time off of work. We will slow down and enjoy the festivities and just be....
Oh and I look forward to our annual ornament exchange with my girlfriends.

i am looking forward to celebrating christmas with my children as this is the forst year we are homeschooling- i plan to incorporate much more of our beliefs and why we celebrate Christmas into our schooling...something they just couldn't do when they were in public school.

This would be heaven to win :)
I am looking forward to many things this holiday season - I am mostly hoping to find out that our family will be growing - I pray that we are expecting and will know soon, I hope.

I love Christmas Eve! When we moved to Texas and didn't have any family here we started a tradition. We make cutout cookies Christmase Eve Day and pack up the car including hot cocoa and cookies and going to look at lights and listening to our favorite Christmas CD's. Now that our son's are grown they still enjoy this tradition and since they lead their own lives now we pretty much only see them on the 24th and 25th now. Take Care

I'm most looking forward to going skiing for the first time!!
