I love the Christmas tree at night, it feels so peaceful to sit by it and just look at the lights and think of all the wonderful memories the eclectic collection of ornaments evoke.

My favourite December tradition is putting up the Christmas tree....and then sitting in the dark that evening relaxing and enjoying the beauty of the tree with my family.

My fave traditions are driving around with my hubby, all bundled up, checking out the Christmas lights and having breakfast at home with my parents on Christmas Eve. Thanks for the chance to win!!

My favorite tradition is the little elf named Fiona and the three gingerbread babies (Rena, Rufus, and Ruckus) that hang around our house during the month of December. They play with my three youngest children (one girl and two boys...coincidence?) during the day and make messes during the night. Sometimes they're nice though and bring cool treats to the kids - stuff like a new puzzle or a countdown calendar or silly socks. It's so awesome having magic in my house the entire month and not just on one night. I want it to last forever!

Awesome giveaways here! Christmas tradition? Watching home videos of family Christmases in the past before opening presents.

stunning give-aways - love that canvas wrap! My favourite tradition in our Christmas preparations, is to make lebkuchen (german spice) biscuits from the recipe my granny gave me, written in her hand ...

I love the IDEA of putting up our tree as a fun, festive family event. More often than not, it seems like a scene from Chevy Chases' Christmas Vacation movie, but alas...it is our family.

Putting up the Christmas tree.. I love the over abundance of sparkle!!

Favorite tradition is decorating the tree after Thanksgiving weekend.

Every December I look forward to all the special treats I make with my mom -- caramels, rosettes, chocolate crinkle cookies. Sadly, this year we aren't able to spend this time together, but am looking forward to recreating them on my own for good friends ; )

What great giveaways! We are in the process of making some new family traditions, but one that I have always loved is putting up the tree!

My favorite Christmas tradition is setting up the nativity scence with my family :)

I love baking cookies for friends and neighbors. This time of year is my favorite. Thanks for the giveaways.

Every year, my mom and I get new PJs that match for Christmas Eve. Even though I'm grown it's a tradition we've kept up for about fifteen years now. It's fun to have tea and cookies and take photos in our matching (sometimes fur-trimmed!) pjs.

Our favorite tradition is cutting the christmas tree every year. The kids opening a christmas pajama for them to wear while we make cookies for Santa Clause.

My favorite holiday traditions are:
1. Cookie baking day with the female relatives in my family... like 70 dozen of different types in a day!
2. Christmas eve service with candlelight and caroling in the courtyard.

My favorite December tradition is taking photos of the first snow storm that we get. The first storm is always my favorite.

I love hanging the ornaments on the tree. Each one is special and unique. I enjoy remembering each of their stories, even if it is only to myself.

Our favorite family tradition is going to my in-laws house on Christmas day. The family members all sit in a circle and open up the presents that my wonderful mother-in-law has been buying for us all year. We each take turns and open one-by-one. Then she and "Bompa" sit on the couch and we all present our gifts to them. They usually cry with happiness! I love it!

Favorite Christmas tradition, hmm... I think I like collecting ornaments and saving/cherishing ornaments from past Christmases. Since I was a child I get a new ornament each year and we continue that on with my kids.
