hoooray! congrats on the 200th post! I already retweeted, but I wanted to comment to! Me and the mister like to pick out a special ornament every year. We hunt and hunt for the perfect one! Last year he picked an ornament of the leg lamp from A Christmas Story. This year we are going to carve our pumpkins Christmas-y since they are still sitting on the stoop from Halloween uncarved...ps did you get my Christmas card in the mail? I hope so!

Sweet!!!! Our fams tradition is picking out new pajamas to wear Christmas Eve, so when we wake up we don't look ghetto in our old stained ones filled with holes LOL!!!!!

Betsy said...

Thanks again for the ornament swap...can't wait to receive my package. My husband and I open our presents to each other on Christmas Eve. We plan to continue this when we have kids to have time just with each other to open gifts.

Carrie said...

Great giveaway! We all get new pj's for Christmas so we all look cute for Christmas pics! And Johnny cooks a big breakfast every Christmas morning its his favorite thing to do :)

My new favorite christmas tradition with my son is making a gingerbread house at the beginning of December. This year he pretty much decorated the whole thing by himself. He was more excited this year than last.

Thanks! Danielle

What a cute giveaway!

My favorite holiday tradition would have to be opening one present on Christmas Eve with my family. It's something we've done for as long as I can remember, and it's very dear to my heart.

our tradition - new ornaments every year, one for each of my kids with their photo. our tree is full of great photos of some of our best memories to cherish during the holiday season

Katja said...

oh wow, i'm very very very curious about this! <3 love giveaways.

our christmas tradition has changed a little bit.... when i was younger, i used to say a cute little poem before i could open a present. but now we use a dice to decide who opens the next present! the person who throws a "6" at first is next. that's really funny! my dad is always so frustrated when he isn't the first to open his present :D
haha xD can't wait for christmas <3

i-zilla ..... said...

yowza what a giveaway!

i have a new favorite christmas memory that i'm making as we speak. i'm getting my very own first tree this year and i have really enjoyed getting ornaments (including the one you gave me!). i think decorating will be my favorite part. i also made ornaments for my friends this year and i have loved every minute of that as well.

Christmas morning we weren't allowed to look at the tree until the whole family was in one room and then we walked out together and my dad would take a picture of our faces as we saw all the presents. Now that I'm married, my husband will lay out his gifts and cover them with a blanket and then I lay out mine and pull the blanket off without looking. Then when we wake up in the morning its a total surprise!

AJ said...

this giveaway is adorable.
Congratulations on your 200th post!

My favourite holiday tradition...when we were growing up my parents always had a christmas eve party. We were allowed to stay up super late. And when all the guests had left we were each given a new set of christmas pjs (side note: i love the smell of new pjs). And we were also allowed to open one present of my parent's choosing of course. It was so fun and gave a glimpse of what was to come on christmas morning:) Sometimes I wish I was still a kid and living at home so we could repeat those memories every year.

A cool Christmas was when my parents gave all the kids a four wheeler and we had go on a scavenger hunt around the neighborhood to find it. Then we rode it all day long around the neighborhood.

Thanks for the cute give away.

So many lovely holiday traditions to choose from, but I think my favourite has to be singing carols on Christmas Eve and getting to open one present- always a new pair of Christmas pajamas!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I win. I could really use some more ornaments! ;~)

Hey girly,
So thought I would leave a comment and see if I can win. Your blog is so inspiring with so many fun things I love it! My favorite tradition is opening presents with extended family on Xmas Eve and sharing in the holiday spirit visiting eating mingling. Then Xmas morning our little family does our own thing opening presents and we do Xmas breakfast! It's the best. I love the holidays and wish we could feel that spirit all year long!

Thanks!
